Do it. That's the kind of cute shit that makes a good story to tell later in life.

I should have put this in the OP, but I'm not interested in her, she's more of a friend, and we both have a boyfriend/girlfriend I just mentioned it offhandedly and I didn't want to admit to playing D&D so i said I write.

The story is about a clerk. It takes place in an office building in Chicago. The story begins with a office conflict. The differences between world cultures plays a major role in this story.

Jesus Christ man. If you like something than why not say it?

Shit I'd be open about liking anime if the topic came up.

Stop being beta.

Write a story about your dilemma and end it on a cliffhanger.

>4chan

Just steal 20 pages from De Sade


It worked for me

Be as bombastic and chauvinistic as you dare. Be ridiculous and funny. Say the silly shit in your imagination that would get rolled eyes on 4chan. Don't try to be serious or artsy.

Well, /lit/ there were several stories I had running around my head.

>A boy becomes a superhero, only to lose everything, even the girl he loves, in the process.
>When stalking a girl, a boy finds out she's being hunted by aliens. Or at least, he thinks he is.
>A high-adventure story revolving around a soldier loyally serving his queen in the navy, where coincidence brings them together time and time again.
>A man tries to get the girl, but fails every time, as the story repeats in different time periods.

There are plenty more, but these seem to be in my head the most.

You do know what a SHORT story is, right?

>>4506961
Well, relatively short, about 40 pages or so.

>>4506970
>40 fucking pages for a beanie
Dude, just buy one.

>>4506997
I have one but that's not the point.

>>4507001

I know it's not the point, but being cute isn't worth it if you have to write 40 fucking pages.

Write a short story about a race-car driver who has to go into space to save the president from aliens. Make the aliens as retarded as possible, e.g they are 3 foot tall and look like blobs of peanut butter given form.

Write a meta story about how you getting the beanie will somehow save the world. Attempt to make her laugh, it's the leas you can do.

write a story about an animal, bitches love animals.

this is good advice

This is probably the best idea in the thread. You could even just make it a D&D story, man, but the treasure ends up being a knitted beanie and there's a huge What The Fuck? gag at the end over that.
I used to write retarded-funny poems for a friend who would bake me stuff. The only good advice I have is to not worry about how it reads, just put a little thought into it and edit it only when it's complete. Be off-the-cuff and remember they're your friend so worst case scenario is it sucks and they don't read it but they say they did and they liked it.

If you don't already write shit that isn't specifically for /tg/ type stuff you should back out because anything you write will be bad. Normally I would say just do it but this is a situation where you're bound to embarrass yourself. Offer to do something else that's more equivalent to the beanie. Like make something out of wood or something, whatever. Some craft, not some art. Crafts are forgiving.

>>4506862
I think you're kinda in anyway if she is knitting you something. The only girls who have ever knitted anything for me (2) liked me and ended up getting the D

If you're really gutsy, write a 50 shades type story. If you're not so gutsy then just write anything, you pussy

>>4506862
you know if you misread the reaction and she didn't really mean anything by accepting and has no real, specific intention of making a beanie for you and then you give her this short story, you're going to force that obligation on to her

you're in a mexican standoff
the rules are vague
who shoots first is the more annoying person
unless both shoot at the same time then you're both wonderful
and if you don't shoot you're both perfectly nuetral
maybe this should be your story op
this prisoner's dilemma emmarite

>>4506878
Wut? I'm >>4507608 and didn't read the thread
So you've made an agreement that you're going to do things for each other, things that take time and effort, and you've each got a significat other?
>inb4 you 2 end up together and you're lying about not liking her

Unless, of course, >>4507617 is right and you're just some autist who has terribly misread playful conversation as a promise

>>4507435
For the love of god, this. Perfect. You can be serious but hide it with irony and humour.
