...im thinking of starting a new short story, the first in a long time. un4chanalty i cant think of any topic what so ever...is there a remedy for this?

If you can't think of a topic then you aren't really thinking about writing anything, you're just wishing you were. There are a million and more topics out there, but your brain can't latch onto one. Probably b/c your muse is not home.

I'm not trolling, just saddened by your mundane interest is such trivial physicality. I.E. Horny young munky takes unwilling chick munky. Hillarity ensues.

This makes me sad that people believe the suffering of others is the core of a good story.

you misunderstand... im not writing about what you assume is a cool kick ass story about some tough guy jock raping a drunk women at a party---try to imagine if you will the severity of conflict. "in literature evil often triumphs, but never conquers." this is simply adressing frat fags that nagate date rape is a crime...if you dont recongize its potential then maybe you dont understand literature....idc wut you say im gonna write it anyways. after 2 hours of research you attempt to put me back on the cop block, how dare you!

Maybe you don't understand that it's been done before, done to death and is nothing to write home about.

Calling the reader out for your stories shortcomings is pretty low dude. Get some thicker skin or a backbone. Maybe leave puberty.

You could take a step to the side, and write the story from the viewpoint of a witness.

Step more aside and write it from the viewpoint of a witness who is a mouse.

Right now you've just got the same ingredients others have, and will probably just make another sandwich. But hey sandwiches are good.

Unless its a shit sandwich. What then?

There are millions of better ideas one can examine than the OVER examine institution of rape. OP is going to write (if at all) another sob-tacular story beating the dead horse of personal violation into a soft paste.

Oh how people are in love with suffering.

If you can't take this kind of criticism without the story written. Then its going to destroy you when it get discarded and looked over for being 'Another Rape story'

I think 'Humanoids from the Deep' makes a much 'deeper' study. The scene from the Millennium series was too short and to easily resolved by her raping and tattooing him.

Where humanoids from the deep offers no so such resolution and show's the filthy deplorable nature of the act.

No. Cuz you waffled under pressure and could persever through the adversity of your peers.

Your story could have been an epic of drowning doubt, struggling through and rising above your critics. But instead you caved... Not having the stones to defy your detractors.

Go write your rape story OP.
