This here, really made me appreciate (my) life. (Because it’s not so goddamn depressing as Tao Lin’s.)


Another one I quite enjoyed is "ego shooter" by Martin von Arndt, but it’s in German and I don’t have any excerpts at hand in any case.

HHHHH (30 Hs)

These are more enjoyable and unique works that would not be judged highly by standard critics rather than bad though.

I saved this image as an example of what you're looking for from the last thread where somebody asked for the same thing.

This shit is hilarious and I would unironically buy it physically so I can place it on a pedastal like I do my signed copies of The Room and Birdemic.

Eye of Argon by Jim Theis fits the bill for barbarian style fantasy.

Here is an example paragraph from this masterpiece.

Grignr's muddled brain reeled from the shock of the blow he had recieved to the base of his skull. The events leading to his predicament were slow to filter back to him. He dickered with the notion that he was dead and had descended or sunk, however it may be, to the shadowed land beyond the the aperature of the grave, but rejected this hypothesis when his memory sifted back within his grips. This was not the land of the dead, it was something infinitely more precarious than anything the grave could offer. Death promised an infinity of peace, not the finite misery of an inactive life of confined torture, forever concealed from the life bearing shafts of the beloved rising sun. The orb that had been before taken for granted, yet now cherished above all else. To be forever refused further glimpses of the snow capped summits of the land of his birth, never again to witness the thrill of plundering unexplored lands beyond the crest of a bleeding horizon, and perhaps worst of all the denial to ever again encompass the lustful excitement of caressing the naked curves of the body of a trim yound wench.

Synopsis

A biker finds a motorcycle at an old mechanic shop that has a pussy in the seat so you can fuck it while riding. He has to keep it a secret because all the guys in his biker gang would want to fuck it

Excerpt

"Why do you have to zip up your pants every time you get off that hog, Travis," Punchy said. I nearly fell off the bike, aghast. "You got a pussy in that thing?" I coughed and gulped. "Hahahaha, nice one, Punchy," I said
