/lit/ - Literature

i dont know most of my posts are kind of spur of the moment. but one day i will hav a nice adult to myself

I'm going to pull apart my buttcheeks and sit on my scanner and use the resulting image to respond to every tripfag thread from now on

are you on tumblr under the name cosmicforestpeople?

>>1735217
This is about literature, not Brownbear or Tybrax talking about themselves.

>>1735219
Oh wait, now it's about Tybrax talking about himself.

>>1735220
No, I'm on Tumblr under CosmicHangovers.

To be honest. The most insane proposal today must have been this idea of yours where someone actually reveals real ideas for real books.

You should get your neocortex checked with fMRI asap. In my objective opinionicism you are more then likely to suffer from intra-cranial pressure caused by a tumor. Have you had any nosebleedings of lately?

Well, one of my ideas is to have a prince and a princess host battles for the ill-defined 'fate of the world' using people in a sleepy college town. The Princess will take individuals and make them into crazy powerful monsters with escalating powers. The Prince will have a group of people allied with spirit animals who develop their powers over time. The main character is the snail knight who is supposed to sacrifice his life for the greater good.

I'm not worried about anyone here stealing ideas, you lack the direction and intentions I have.

Writing a short story about human interaction-ism, the main characters are a gang-member nigger-bum and the isolated princess of a snow-planet who escapes from a tyrannical father hell-bent on creating the 'perfect' human, which he calls the "all-flake". Snow imagery and slum-quirkiness everywhere, etc.

After that I'm gonna work on a short story about children spreading the ashes of a deceased grandfather, who travel to many fantasy settings and debate religion while pursued by faceless enemies.

I've always wanted to write a satire on religion, using animals as the main characters.

But I've never got around to it.

>>1735308

Seems like satirizing religion would be pretty difficult without being too heavy handed. How would you do it?

>>1735334

You know, human interactions with the animals, seemingly from "god". Humans could influence the animal's world, whatever that may be.

For instance, building a dam would flood the entire area, which could be like a great flood to a colony of rats. The satire comes in the fact that humans are just as mortal as animals, but just inconceivable.

>>1735308
>>1735342
Holy shit man. Go start writing it, now. You're on 4chan, you may as well be writing as well.

>>1735362

You think it'd be an interesting read?

>>1735308
I also thought about a plot where all the religonisties die in horrible never-ending tortures by a galant charming group of vindictive youth. They kidnap the religionists and torture them in ways unimaginable (making SAW sissylike). Everybody cherishes these liberators of earth, they become rich famous and interactive with their enviornent and the end. Absolute demotivation towards religionisticism.

Mainplot: Only religionists gets pain and everybody that destroys them gets pure happiness. Simple.

I'm working on loads and loads of metatextual poetry.

I make noveltyaccounts on Reddit and then post away in a hilarious manner.

>>1735366

That's really "heavy handed". lol

>>1735372

Yeah, well it involves in massive cherishment of genocide where the religoinistic gene gets wiped out of earth, combined with experiments involving glass-bathtubs with liquid nitrogen and or drowning in strong acid. It's like a chemistry/physics class only the experiments are the religionists bodies. The keyword is "slow maximum pain"

Interested of reading it? It's pretty chemo.

>>1735342

Wouldn't the animals see the humans as something greater than them, but less than gods? A human shrinks back from an aggressive animal--even rats-- and the workings of humanity are evident to animals, even if their motives are more difficult to discern. While I'm not saying there aren't some parallels, I don't think the analogy quite plays; especially since animals, notably beavers and termites, are quite capable of ruining what people make and do.

But I'm sure your ideas are more thought through than mine. Good luck with it!

>>1735392
Is this legit?

>>1735392

Do you have it completed?

>>1735366
>>1735392

It just sounds like masturbation to me. For you and the 15 year kids who read it.

>>1735393

Eh, you're right. Like I said, I just had brainstorms.

Although if it was in the middle of the woods somwhere, say turn of the century era, there would have been little contact with humans, so when the ecosystem was unbalanced, it could have been perceived as "gods".

Eventually, by the end of the book, the main animal character will have sought out the "gods", and realized their own mortality, losing religion.

>>1735408
This.

>>1735414

Now that I think about it, the book could be a statement about industrialization and corruption of nature.

>>1735403
In one of my favourite page the character called "the Swim" uses all the money he has gathered from his victims and buys a massive silo containing chocolate. Then from the top he pushes fat priests down into it and tells them to "Swim harder, enthusiasm is more important than rationality, you can make it!. Try praying." He mocks with them while they are drowning. They are so eager to try and they all believe they will survive that dense viscosity of melted chocolate. Of course this silo has a built in cleaning mechanism to get rid of the bodies mechanically. Also the most brute murderers become the greatest heroes in this book as well.

I have really struggled to encourage real life murder of religionists in this book.

>>1735438

Are you by chance mentally insane?

>>1735393
Maybe you're just citing Orwell - The farm? :3

There should be a book about several individuals who start an online book club and the problems that come up when one of them discovers the art of trolling.

I call it /Lit/erature

>>1735444

Never read it.

A noir short story I have not been writing but should have been all night.

>>1735444
Actually it's Animal Far- oh wait you trolled me.

>>1735454
I'd read it.

>>1735469
I was hoping you'd either ignore it or bait it.

Ohwell. Atleast some idiots thought i was actually writing that book.

>>1735503

I saw the movie when I was 12 (mistake), and never read the book, but wasn't it more about communism than religious debate? What with some animals being more equal than the others, and all.

>>1735532
Yeah, Russia and communism. Still a great book.

And your idea sounds pretty interesting. I'd suggest you do it, personally, because if you don't, nobody will and then that's just a wasted idea.

>>1735546
Ideas are supposed to be wasted by the poor.

>>1735548

The poor are wasted by alcohol.

>>1735556
Alcohol is wasted by the rich.

>>1735556
But only if they are opiated first by heuristic religonistics.

>>1735563

And the rich were wasted by communism. Full circle.

>>1735571
Then why doesn't communism exist and the rich does?

If there is a circle when will communism return?

>>1735582

Communism exists in that it is an idea capable of being implemented, and actually is currently in different regions; conversely, since 'the rich' is merely a class in the set of all humans, it doesn't really exist in the strict sense.

Choose a half of that previous statement, it refutes yours.

I've always wanted to write a book about a farmer who goes out sailing.

Maybe he'll die, I don't know.

>>1735601
Well done, next time I might post a real argument.

>>1735615
Sounds daring and playful..

>>1735648

I look forward to it. Any excuse to use my degree.

>>1735648

I consider myself somebody who just loves pulling something out of nothing.

I've come up with alot of complex novel concepts in the past, trying to push myself from other authors, but I had recently realized that with adequate planning around even the most undaring concept, you can really make something nice.

Hesitantly working up the courage to send round 3 of query letters to agents for representation. Novel's themes are pretty similar to Dante's Inferno, but secular--as secular as a book about a speculative afterlife can be, in any case.

>>1735686
Dante was a secular poet too.

>>1735688
Haven't reminded myself of that in far too long . . . keep having family / beta readers quipping about how my book can't -really- be non-religious due to the setting. Worrying that's a big part of the reason no agents have taken a bite yet.

Not gonna post details here because I'm at least certain it's more deserving of a modest print-run than (yep, I'm going there) Twilight. It'll be bound and sold someday . . . hopefully sooner than later.

A story thats pretty much like the traditional 'Power corrupts, people overthrow corrupt government, they become corrupt as well when they rule' kinda idea. However, it focuses on the relation between worker and ruler. Who is truly in charge? The leader, or the worker? Obviously, both are in charge, and share the relationship, but my idea plays with the idea.
The main character is a part of a group of friends, and is the smartest one of them. They notice that their current government sucks, and seek to overthrow it. Due to Smart Guys genius, they manage to overthrow the corrupt government, putting themselves in charge. Except Smart Guy, who is content with being a simple worker, but pulls the strings in whatever way he can,
The country has little resources, so they go to war with another country. After a war over resources, the friends, whom have shared leadership, start fighting amongst themselves. Smart Guy tries his best to pull his strings to salvage the situation, but it all goes to hell, and one friend kills the others, and becomes a dictator to 'keep the citizens safe'. One friend dissappears, and creates a resistance movement. SG becomes a worker for the leader. The resistance leader is assassinated, and the SG, in a rare fit of rage, takes command, and manages to overthrow his Dictator friend after a bloody campaign. SG puts a better person in charge, and becomes an advisor, to prevent anything that bad from happening again.
The ending is bittersweet, SG has made a better future for the people, but his friends had slaughtered each other, and they are forever demonized.
What happens when you mix Code Geass, Animal Farm, and this

Still has work to do.

>Who is truly in charge? The leader, or the worker? Obviously, both are in charge

Stooped reading after that. Get a brain bro.

>>1735703
Allow me to explain. A leader tells the worker what to do. But its the workers choice on what he wants to do. Sure, you can put a bunch of jews to building artillery shells for a war, with the threat of death, but whats to stop those Jews from filling the shells with sand rather than gunpowder?
A leader is nothing without the support of their people and workers.

Three male crossdressers and their wives are assembled to make a documentary. Each is given a ticket to New York and a one week stay at a hotel; however, due to a terrible accident every room but one is rendered unavailable. They decide to share the remaining room, and shenanigans ensue as they begin to lust after each other and discover who is what gender.

Or something.

>Lose Job/family/custody
>Massive military sabotage during wartime
>Breach of command
>Military Desertion
>Criminal Rebellion

>also implying that your boss isn't capable of checkmating you legally anytime.

o my lordies..

>>1735697
They have no resources, so they go to war?
That's like making a sandwich before going to the grocery store.

>>1735756
Like I said, the idea still needs work. Maybe its some new mineral thats really awesome and it produces sunshines and rainbows, I don't know.

Or it can just be gold mines, or oil.

>>1735733
It happens a lot of the time, usually the people who are forced into work have nothing to lose, and just troll the people they work for because they ruined their lives.

>>1735733
My god you're still trolling my thread. I've got to give you marks for persistence.

>>1735716
Could be cool as a Shortbus/Pink Flamingo style movie. Really out there.

>>1735697
Sounds a lot like Animal Farm. Like, really a lot. I'm sure you've got some idea to make it unique, but just reading that...

>>1735799
>My god you're still trolling my thread. I've got to give you marks for persistence.

You have no idea how glad those words make me, CosmicHangover. I think I might have gotten an on new psychological torture camps involving radioactive materials for ultra slow pain.

How? You just inspire this side in me.
