She's never going to be legal.

My waifu is this character I wrote for a short story that I submitted in creative writing class. The instructor said I used "macho cliches to describe her" but other than that I wrote her with "verve and obvious adoration." I got an +A for the story but it revealed a little bit more than I intended I think.

>>8480035

>The instructor said I used "macho cliches to describe her" but other than that I wrote her with "verve and obvious adoration."

Was the character underage? She probably thinks you're a pedo.

>>8480582

Please be gentle. This is one of the first things I've wrote, so I have a lot to learn.

See like I used the adjective "small" in two places on the same page to describe the female character's features. They took issue with that. The instructor also noted that I only had one strong male character in the story, and all the others were "un-masculine." So I guess in hindsight I was self inserting quite a bit.

>>8480655

No, I never specified age. Early 20s maybe? It was a romantic interest so little girls were out of the picture.

>>8480679
Concerning "Her back was warm", explain more, go into more detail. e.g. how it felt against your chest, how she smelled, the feeling of her (whichever color) hair against your nostrils or face or mouth. Also, "massacred a tribe" feels forced to me. Dialogue is fairly well done, just some things here and there that could use some improvement.

She's mine guys, sorry.

>>8481734

It's hard to explain, but have you ever touched a girl's back in a hot environment like a school dance or something, and felt her body heat underneath the stiff scratchy material of her dress? Their bodies are so firm and insubstantial at the same time. That's one of my favorite feels. I didn't know how to convey it though.

Thanks anon, it reads better with those bits removed. It's a lot more smooth.

He is my role model. Ever since I've made him my role model I've noticed that I have a taste for the finer things in life. Nice furniture, I've changed my habits, I've improved my posture, I've started wearing nice suits and getting things tailored, I use fine china and actually place my cups on plate coasters, I've even accepted being a bisexual degenerate. Having someone to inspire you in life is great.

Have you read any of his work? Which would you recommend starting with?

I started reading a bio of him a few years ago, and very much was enjoying it. But that was back when I was notoriously bad at seeing books through, and never finished it, let alone followed up by reading any of his actual works.

>>8482024
If you're not totally kidding about that, check out dandyism a bit further. Baudelaire's short essay "The Dandy" within his "the painter of modern life" is a great view on dandyism; Balzac's "treatise on elegant living" is one of the major pillars of early dandyism, even though it's unfinished; and Moers' "the dandy" is by far the most complete history of dandyism as a historical and cultural phenomenon.

Don't buy a cane and turn into a pretentious faggot, but know that there is some pleasure to be found in the aesthetic pursuits of dandyism.

Balzac:
>"The boor covers himself, the rich man or the fool adorns himself, and the elegant man gets dressed."
Baudelaire:
>"[Dandyism] is a kind of cult of the self...It is the joy of astonishing others, and the proud satisfaction of never oneself being astonished."

Anon, I'm not sure if you're still here, but screw the haters. This was very good for an inexperienced writer. It was clear that you are new at this, and a lot of it was jumbled, but the writing itself was excellent. It was vivid without being wordy, and again the flow was just off at some points, but other than that, it really made me believe what you were writing. For example, above me, someone criticized the line "Her back was warm," for not being descriptive, but I think it's indicative of the best qualities of your writing. That is how we actually think when we're remembering things. Your writing is very human, and I think you can build off that.

You reminded me of a clumsy Hemingway, with time I believe you'll make it.

I have been recently talking to a girl who looks just like her, shares some interests with me and laughs at my jokes, seemingly not just out of pleasantness. This is a very rare position for me to find myself in, but in the last three days I have not written her out of some vague sense of apathy, despite fully realising this is a chance to possibly hold a girl's hand in a romantic setting for the first time in 22 years. How do I stop being like that, /lit/? I've had literary experiences of this sort, but they have not prepared me for the realities of life.

>>8482830
Don't feel bad, I didn't have sex until I was 30. There are no wizard powers either.

hey its you! nanami is still better

>>8483885

Thanks anon I'm glad you liked it. It's set during the battle of Annual in the Rif War, between the Spanish and the Berbers in Morocco. In 1921 Spanish forces under General Silvestre overextended themselves and were destroyed piecemeal by the Rif. About 20,000 Spaniards were killed at Annual, compared to about 800 Berber Rifenos. The Rif massacred thousands of prisoners in cold blood during and after the battle, including Silvestre himself. The Spanish and the Berbers have had a long and troubled acquaintance.

>>8484049

One of my classmates complained that I shouldn't be writing from the Spaniard's point of view, because muh colonialism.

>>8484988
well for one, this is a crush thread and she's one of the only principle female characters that isnt canonically a lesbian.

Despite her major role in "filler" episodes I think she might be the most human as well as the most tragic character. From a great peak to a deep valley, the story of Nanami is one of severed ties, including [familial] heartbreak and the cold realities of friendship within the female power structure; it is also a story of pubescence and the loss of innocence. Her story line alone bears all of Ikuhara's non-traditional family hallmarks, and along with Utena she is the only character forced to face the realities of growing up in a purgatorial world where time and place stand still. She is the Sailor Saturn to Utena's Sailor Moon, but fleshed out.

Her relationship with Touga is infinitely more complex than Juri's is with Shiori (easily the most complex outside of Utena/Anthy/Akio), and her relationship with Keiko and the other girls is much more insightful than that of Utena and Wakaba (as beautiful as that relationship is). Saionji's sad relationship with Touga is nowhere near the level of Nanami with Keiko either, because there is never an inversion of the power dynamic.

Nanami is simultaneously comic relief, a tragic figure, and human, all too human.

>>8485268
All true and masterfully put but I'll still like Juri more.
Well, all true except for
