Pessimistic sci fi. In 3000 years, Earth is the headquarters of an intergalactic militant government. America is home to their military operation. A high ranking officer is put on indefinite leave after an incident he can not recall, and is sent on holiday to a farm in what was once Montana. There, he slowly recalls the truth about his disgraced exit through a series of coincidental incidents. When he is attacked by a coyote, a species thought to be extinct, it brings him back to the cataclysmic moment where he learned the true nature of the hierarchal order of the military that he's obeyed for so long, and through his own actions as a vigilante third party, he works to prevent a coupe.

Wrote this while I was high but I think its actually decent.

>20 year old Confederate calvary soldier, and modern day petite light skinned african american girl transported to fantasy world with no humans. Calvary soldier delivering message to General Lee that D.C. is wide open to attack from his position at Gettysburg, ordered not to die at all costs and get the message there in time. Girl in highschool or college? Was just in lesson about how if Lee had instead gone for D.C. instead of pickett’s charge south would’ve won. They both are trying to get home as quickly as possible. Both appear in grassfield. Confederate with horse? He is hostile towards her, thinks she’s a runaway slave and tries to capture her. Possible rape? Orcs capture them. Girl is treated well because they think she is a dark elf, which are the most important race in this world. Calvary guy is either made a slave or a prisoner or they plan to execute him. They learn of portal or wizard or something to get them home. Girl either runs away or is ransomed off with some orc guards back to dark elves or convinces orcs to let her go. She decides to save Calvary guy’s life from execution or as prisoner/slave of orcs, so takes him with her by either convincing orcs to give him to her as a slave or busting him out herself. Female orc companion(s)? She treats him as her slave either way. Whips him maybe? Maybe makes him eat her pussy? Female orc maybe attempts to rape him but girl stops her? Points his own revolver at him, and rides his horse. At one point he gets really pissed and asks her to kill him instead of being a slave to a negro woman. Either she breaksdown and says she can’t, he remembers his duty, or she tells him how important his duty is. They travel around the fantasy world. Possible ballroom dance scene somewhere? At end Calvary leads charge against some baddie, saves girl’s life over duty to nation. Maybe dies? Johnny Reb plays.

Also I had another idea that would be a YA novel where you're a moody teenaged protagonist with no memory in some mysterious land where you run into lots of historical figures, and at the end you learn you're Adolf Hitler and with it being slowly leaked throughout the book, and him being made very sympathetic.

A guy does a night walk and when he reaches a bridge he sees a man on the phone. The man sees him and puts the phone down on the ground and jumps. The guy takes the phone and wants to call the police but they already arrive and tell the man to go home they will take care of everything. He is a bit suspicious because they arrived so fast but he thinks maybe the man was on the phone with the authorities. Still he keeps the phone and goes home. He calls the last contact on it, There is a female voice, a real one not a machine, but still pretty monotone, that says: "Everything will be fine, please stay where you are. Help is coming." on repeat. Confused he manages to ask who this is and as soon as he does, he hears in a now concerned tone: "You should't have called" and the line disconnects.
It turnes out later in the book that this is a suicide hotline for real life NPC's, "manufactured" by a company that sells them as cheap workforce. Sometimes they come into contact with too many real people and become suicidal. The guy will find out about all of this through the girl working for the hotline (he calls her back several times after that night and they get closer) but now they will be enemies to the company. The company has their own agents that now try to kill them.
I don't know what the fuck happens then, and the plot that stands still needs a lot of work.

Here's a true story which I often thought could be turned into something (maybe a short story):

A cameraman called Gary Graver mostly worked on low-budget stuff in the 1970s and also on some porn. He was a big Orson Welles fan and he contacted Welles and offered to work for nothing if that would help him. Welles indeed hired him as cameraman on several films.
Anyway, one time, Welles called Graver and said he was hoping to shoot a few scenes and could Graver make it at relatively short notice? (At this point in his career Welles had no financing and was operating in a really ad-hoc way, shooting as & when he could get the money / actors / whatever.)
Graver said he'd love to but he had to finish editing this porn film for a deadline.
OK says Welles I'll help.
Welles comes over and edits some of the scenes (apparently they included a shower sex scene).
Eventually they finished this and set out for Welles' shoot.
"You didn't do anything artsy, did you?" asks Graver.
Welles looks at him twinkly-eyed. "Not really," he says.

Make of this what you will.

I am playing a few games of that sort in a novel I'm working on. (I'm currently just accumulating material & anecdotes; the plot isn't finalized.)

Basically it's a sort of picaresque historical adventure set roughly in the early Renaissance.
The hero is a kind of wandering poet, a Jongleur of the time - one of these guys who went around living off his wits and in particular his ability to make up songs and poems and stories.

Anyway one of the episodes involves a fairly unpleasant local dignitary who forces the hero to write a series of poems which he is going to pass off as his own.
The hero does this but puts coded messages in (e.g. you read the first letter of every line backwards) saying rude things about this person.
He knows it's an incredibly rash thing to do but he just can't resist it (this is what his whole character is like).
Then his aim is to get out of that whole country before anyone actually finds out. But obviously, complications ensue...

>> No.11167971

He's a Troubador rather than a Jongleur, to be exact. Ezra Pound thought really highly of this tradition and these people and thought it needed to be brought back somehow.

A man walks out of his bapartment building, the narrative jumps to a graphic scene of a cro-magnon man bashing in the skull of another. After his deed, the cro-magnon thinks "Will this mean anything 1,000,000 years from now?" Narrative cuts back to the modern day man, who works in the archaeology school of a university, analysing and cataloging the bones of the cro-magnon murderer. He develops a psychic connection to the cro-magnon across time, whose mind begins infiltrating and taking over. The modern man murders another, he goes on the run and lives in the wild, the cro-magnon's knowledge of survival skills keeps him alive. They develop a symbiosis, and in a trance the modern man's mind is with the cro-magnon in the distant past.

His modern knowledge isn't of much use but he helps the cro-magnon with problem-solving and the dual-minded man soon rises in his tribe's heirarchy and is soon in a position to challenge the tribe's alpha. The alpha discovers the two-minded secret of the dual man, and has a shaman drive out the "spirit" while the man is asleep. The witch doctor doesn't fully know what he's doing, the modern man's mind inhabits the shaman's body, and the shaman's is sent forward in time to the modern man's body. The modern man's knowledge is now useful as a source of "mystical" wisdom which the tribe don't understand but read meaning into. In the present day, the shaman stays in the wild and gathers a following of new age hippies. He drugs them all with a herbal concoction and sacrifices them to perform a ritual to send him back to his own body, which involves killing the modern man's body too.

The shaman's mind is back in his original body, the modern man's mind is catapulted back to the present, to his dead body. As his mind isn't dead, he acts as an animating spirit and lives as a zombie, constantly needing to feed on other people. He becomes a legend and a piece of folklore, the narrative flashes forward to a post-apocalyptic tribe with a shaman who's recounting the story of the book.

An group of military history enthusiasts from the old Confederate States, and another from the North, are both obsessed with the Civil War and argue endlessly about whether the South could ever have "won" - or at least made it so costly and drawn-out that the North lost the will to continue, leading to some sort of face-saving compromise (as in Vietnam).

A whole culture builds up on both sides, drawing in thousands of disaffected, alienated young men. They meet for complicated re-enactments of Shiloh and Gettysburg (both of which, the South claim, could easily have gone the other way).

Eventually they decide to do it for real.

Thanks tapir, youve incouraged me to think about writing fiction for the first time ever, this was my first idea.
On a hydroelectric dam a genus of fungi evolve to exploit the calcium oxide in concrete and are able to cover and transport nutrients over long distances in concrete through mycelia, creating substrate for btyophytes and seed plants compromising the Integrity of the damn, in the process of(an unsuccessful) containment the strain spreads into metropolitan where an adaptive radiatiob occurs that ends up with several materials like concrete and asphalt becoming habitat, unable to contain the explosion of life humanities infastrucre crumbles and people are left on the wrong side of habitat loss. Forced to devolp a new relationship with the world people radically change the way they live and out of their struggle the zeitgeist turns to one of ecological connection, anti authoritarianism and biocentrism, new religions like neoanimism become major players.
I just want to right a novel like this that creatively explores the life sciences our current ecological danger and the decline and devolpment of social and ecological systems.

We don't need concrete but we have concrete as the foundation for pretty much everything.
The fungi can penetrate the concrete deeper than any fungicide and in many places where it is impossible to have fungicide and a serious logistic issue conatianing the spread with fungicide, of course this will be the first thing people try, ultimately they can't do anything and work around it, causing radical change in the way we organize ourselves.
Governments and centralized power lacking in their ability to organize the necessary change lose their power and apparments, city blocks and the immigrants to rual and suburban areas eventually form self govering communities by the necessity that it's the only way to properly organize.
Through the intial disturbance and conflict a mutual relationship emerges.

I'm very erratic and can't pick between my two started novels. I also have a few short story ideas I'd like to squeeze in as practice.

>A Gangster film-tier "cleaner" for a huge, faceless corporation gets a new partner when his last one goes missing. The new partner is determined that there's a conspiracy they're helping cover up, with the older cleaner having to choose his loyalties and destroying evidence behind his partners back while vehemently refusing to get embroiled in or discover what actually happened
The value of your own life and morals versus the potential values of others. Standard miserable ending.

>A Lovecraft-Esque coastal village suffers when a monstrous corpse washes up on the beach, terrifying the seafarers.POV changes every chapter, starting with a young boy who sees a beautiful girl in a white dress leave as he finds the corpse, a detective determined to settle the strange happenstance and paranoid townsfolk as tales of the mysterious girl grow more wild and grotesque, bringing troublemakers and miscreants.
Mass hysteria and paranoia. Slightly more opened ended melancholic ending, with things understood but unresolved.

Once there was a young lad, brimming with questions, who set out in search of the Truth.

So insatiable for knowledge, he soon heard of a mystical oracle in a far away land, which he set out almost immediately to find.

Over land and sea he went till he found the small town said to be nearest the oracle. The locals pointed him to the volcanic hills where a long dormant crater held a small pond. "There you will find the oracle."

Scaling the steep mountain, weaver through the jagged rocks at the summit, he entered a short cave, at its ending he reached the shallow pond, which auspiciously reflected sunlight into the alcove of the cave.

"Oh great oracle. I have come to seek out your wisdom!"
Just then, in shimmering iridescent light, the form of a woman appeared over the pond.
"I am the oracle you seek, young lad. What is it you would like to know?"
"I would like to know the Truth!"
"Of what?"
"The Ultimate Truth, of course!"
"Umm. Regarding what exactly?"
"You know! Absolute Truth.
"That's a really broad subjective topic actually. . ."
The lad heaved a great sigh, "NEVER MIND!" he stomped off.
"Could you be more specific?" the oracle asked the lad's back
"Forget it. You don't know anything!"

The Unnecessary Sequel

After spending some years with the people's of the far away land he traveled to, the young lad would occasionally gripe about the "stupid oracle" of the volcano. People eventually told him he shouldn't judge the oracle so harshly. She was very old, had learned much and had helped many people with her advice. "What exactly did you ask here?" one man inquired, and when told, the man suggested preparing a series of different questions to get at his "Truth".
"She'd answer more than one?" he asked. "Yes, but when the sun moves off the pond she fads away till the next day, so be quick in asking." It did take some prodding, but the lad finally consented to ascend to the mountain once again.

Once in the exact place, at the right reflective moment, the lad asked "Hey, umm. could you come back and answer some other questions I have?"
The same ethereal form of a woman came into a blurry focus. "Oh. It's you again. How've you been?"
"Fine."
"How can I help you?"
"By answering my questions."
"By this I meant for you to ask away."
"Can you tell me the Meaning of Life?"
"Oh dear. –"
The lad gave a shit-faced scowl "Do you know *anything?*"
"Oh, I know the answer to your question, I'm just afraid you wont like that answer."
"What do you mean?" the lad tested.
"There is no set *meaning* to life. It just Is. and where it isn't, it just isn't. There's no meaning to that either of course. That's *a* truth."
"Well, then there's *another* truth where there is a purpose. Right?"
"Wh–, not as such. And you just changed your 'meaning' to a 'purpose' there. Now I did say that there was not 'set meaning". What we are left with is a near infinite array of purposes to choose from, and on a daily basis, the freedom to change your mind about any of it…"
Not liking what he had to hear, the lad decided to break off this answer with some more of his questions. Times a'wasting and this first answer would've taken all night if he let her go on, he figured. "Okay okay, enough. How about this. Where did we come from? Who created us?"
"We come from this world. And its perfect conditions incubated us all into being, so there is no conscious creator being that predates us really, save for the primitive life of microbes that just came before…"
"What?" the lad interrupted again. "Well who created these primitive microbes?"
"They come into being under the right circumstances the planet affords them"
"Ridiculous!"
"Not any more ridiculous than this creator idea you've been raised to believe in. This is a truth."
"Explain the soul!"
"What, you mean consciousness, the mind? If that suffices the soul, there is no separating it from the rest of the body. It's a function of the body. Truth."
The lad tried again, "Where do we go when we die?"
"The ground." the sun's rays were nearly off the pond.
"You suck." the lad got up to leave.
"Truth hurts, I suppose."
"I'm gonna empty this worthless pond as soon as I can. Women don't know ANYTHING!"
"Im not from the pond, dummy." and to his exiting back "Wow, I wish I could lay curses on people like you."

A tale about the day to day life of cave people who live along dinosaurs, giant insects, and various reptilian megafauna like giant snakes crocodiles and turtles One Million Years BC style.

The main character invents the first sword from stone and after he kills the leader of a raiding team sent by an enemy tribe he begins to mass produce them which leads his tribe to gain power.

Most of it however would just focus on how terrible it is to exist as a human being in this time period. The setting would be a savannah and in this world worrying about a fellow homosapien isn't worth your time; an allosaurus could kill you while you're taking a shit, a stegosaurus could gore you while you're hunting it, your child could get taken away by a pterodactyl and lets not forget that your camp could get raided by a pack of Utahraptors.

The twist ending would be the entire thing is a biodome to select the successors of the grassland to be the next genetic stock to replenish the population on a post apocalyptic earth from colonist on the moon.This would explain why there's so much period clashing

Now that I'm typing this sounds way better as some sort of video game.

The central figure spoke. "You can only see three of us, eh?"

"That's not so bad, " said the figure on the left. "I mean, it's pretty dark."

"How many of you are there, then? Show yourselves!"

"Don't you worry about how many of us there are, " said the figure on the right soothingly. "We're not savages, you know. We do have a code. You pick any one of us to fight. Single combat. If you win, you can go, no hard feelings."

"You mean, every time a knight has defeated one of you in single combat, you've just let him go?"

"Well, to be honest, it's never actually happened yet, " said a fourth voice just behind his left ear.

"But when it does, you can be sure, we will, " said the central figure.

"That fellow, the one before last, he got pretty close, " said a fifth voice from somewhere.

"The big one?" said the fourth voice.

"Yes, the one with the two-headed axe. He did whirl that round well, I thought."

"That's true. He actually came quite close to hitting me one time. I was still a bit drunk, though, to be honest."

"This is ridiculous!" he cried.

"OK, yes, " said the fourth voice, "I admit, I was lying there. He didn't get close at all."

"You said he did, " said the fifth voice. "You said, "Verily, brave sir knight, you fought well, and more than once it was only good fortune kept my limbs and your steel apart."

"Well, I wanted to make him feel better."

"But anyway, " said the central figure, "rest assured, you only have to fight one of us. There'll be no funny business. So you can relax on that score."

"Being relaxed is good, " said the left-hand figure.

"Because of what comes later," said the right-hand figure.

"When you lose, " said the left-hand figure.

"If you lose," said the right-hand figure reassuringly.

"Later?" he asked.

"Ah, " said the central figure.

There was a pause.

"You know some creatures are nocturnal?" said the fourth voice. "That means they like to go out in the night."

"Yes, " he said, bemused.

"Well, " the voice continued cheerfully, "we're noct-sexual."

Insofar as thin air could appear expectant, it was obvious to him that a certain response was expected.

"What does that mean?" he asked.

"It means we like to have sex with knights," said the voice triumphantly.

"But it's spelled differently!" he cried in outrage.

"Well, it's a pun, " explained the voice in an inujred tone.

"Anyway, time's a-wasting, " said the central figure briskly. "So what we'll do is, we'll all step into the light so you can get a good look at us, and then you just go ahead and make your pick, OK? The sooner you do that, the sooner we can get stuck in."

"That shouldn't be a danger this time, " said the fifth voice. "He's a pretty big chap."

Fanfiction is unironically a good place to start. I was terrible at writing characters that didn't all have the same voice until I wrote a tiny Deus Ex fanfic purely because I love/could write Pritchard and Sariff well

Without knowing what it's about it's hard to help, but does King Bad know our heroes? Do they discover him after the go forward or do they know of him before/go after him? How far apart are their times? Maybe the big bad pulls them forward somehow because they would have thwarted him somehow in the past and he can catch them while they're vulnerable or someone knows they can beat him.

If the problem is not allowing time travel to exist outside of the inciting incident for plot reasons then maybe just make it a freak incident that's barely explained, or a weird Donnie Darko style "it happened because it did" deal. They could find out that they went missing in the past and were never found (Or were if they somehow travel back) and leave it at that. Nobody asks how/why ghosts or monsters exist for example, just why it matters to the story.

I wanted to write a book about some guy (or girl, doesn't really matter) travelling across country on a sort of road trip to get his shit life together.

What starts the journey is a near death collision, in where he survives the crash, albeit in bad shape. The spot in which he has the crash, however, is known for being a prime area where a lot of crashes happen because it's a shitty part of the road, and a blind corner. There are lots of flowers often put on this corner by people who live in the town and who have lost loved one's. The main character knows about this corner very well, but ignores the dangers one night when he is stressed out over some mundane shit. After he get's out of the hospital, he goes on a road trip to find more of these spots, marking graves or accidents, to write about them.

On each stop he converses with locals and gets new perspective on his life. In the end he finally heads home and fixes his life.

Similar to the book Whirligig, but I don't want it to be -as- depressing. Just have some good downer moments, but mostly be uplifting.

Was thinking of calling it Flowers On The Side Of The Road, and have a pretty self explanatory picture for the cover.

I know, right? People make fun of fanfiction, but it's great practice and honestly, a lot of fun.

Well, it's like this...

In the original story, it's this whole stupid convoluted thing where the MC gets hit with a slapstick time travel device, except he wakes up ten years later in his own coffin. As it turns out, there's like this guy, who like "connected" with all other multiverse versions of himself, so he's super powerful and knows everything and he took over the world and ten year later MC devised this stupid fucking plan that I didn't understand because the whole arc took 16 volumes and it was boring as fuck and super convoluted.

Basically the main cast gets dragged into the future to kill king bad, and they succeed, I guess, but it was the typical shounen shit where there's like, a bunch of random battles, and nothing makes any goddamn sense.

I hate the whole arc, so naturally, my first, spiteful knee jerk reaction is to rewrite the whole thing.

My version is this-
MC gets hit with slapstick time travel device, wakes up ten years later to find out everyone he loves is dead and the future is a dystopian nightmare. King bad is still king bad. MC cast is in the future because there is no one left. They're it. If they can't kill king bad everything is fucked, forever. They're the last shitty pokemon after Lance has stomped all your best pokemon.

The problem is, is that it's still so fucking convoluted. I streamlined the "why" and the "how" but I have no idea how to set up "what" they're going to do now.

First they got to save the guy that brought them to the future (because he had to work under the bad guy to have access to the tech he needed to pull off this goddamn plan) but what now? How do I keep going without this whole thing devolving into a goddamn shitshow like in the original?

I try to do plenty of research with whatever I'm writing. Get's the facts first, then bend them how you want, and all that.

I'm not sure about chasing danger, but what did you mean by reliving peoples lives, if I may ask?

Cause in my head, I was imagining him listening to people tell stories at cafes about how the person who died on that spot used to do this and that, or how a widows husband used to clean that part of the road for the city.

Things like that. Just kind of taking in these people who used to be alive, and trying to write their memories down and preserve them in some way.

>>11186673
Always a good way to do it. It would depend on the character, but if a roadtrip can solve his problems at home then they must be at least in part him or his mental state. Maybe the accident gives him a rush and he intentionally visits these places as a way of putting himself at risk again. Maybe the stories he listens to are how he gains insight on his own life, spending a day or two in their shoes. For your example maybe he spends the day cleaning the road and intentionally avoids or exposes himself to whatever hazard befell the people he's learning about. Like a medium for memories, documenting how someone lived and died, before leaving his own flowers or memento at the shrine and moving on, learning what he can about himself.

Do any anons have places they upload their writing, finished or otherwise? I just got Wattpad and am finally moving my folders upon folders of writing to actually started/polished versions

The story would be centered around a homeless man. He starts on the streets. African American. Not a racial thing but because those are the type of people Jones preyed upon. End up joining up with evangelist that show him a family that he never had. The book would start out hopeful. And spiral out of control to the jungles of Guyanna.

I'm pretty sure you have the option to set it to public, and then provide a link.

Otherwise, the only only other sites that I know you can write on and have other people read it is like fan fiction sites. Or if they aren't fanfiction, they quickly get dominated by it.

Not that you can't find jewels in every pile of shit.

Hell, I'm probably going to get banned for this comment, but one of the best stories I've ever read was on Fimfiction, and it was called Background Pony.

Say what you will of me, that story had me bawling like a fucking infant.

I try not to judge. Oddly the only (good) fanfiction I've ever read was of fucking Repo! The Genetic Opera. Wattpad seems to have a ton of fanfiction but a few serious writers dominating the main pages at least.

I feel like a good writer can weave a story from literally anything. And considering that story has about 80,000 reads on it, I would say that's a pretty good indicator.

the best fanfiction site is ao3, so that's where the serious writers eventually gravitate to, especially if they're still writing. There are some great pieces on ff.net, still, older pieces in particular, but different sites draw different demographics of writers.

Hmm, Roadside Bloom sounds a little boring though, I don't think I would pick that up if I were browsing books.

Well that's the thing, a tagline or novel idea is just that, it's only the execution that matters. There are some books that have a shitty sales pitch that are executed super well and there are books with really cool concepts that are utter dog shit

A short story. A group of soldiers in the African front of WW2 kill of a tribe in the western Sahara and find some sort of artifact which the tribe were worshiping. The artifact appears to have some sort of mystical properties and the group of men deliberate on whether or not they should hand over to their superiors or try and activate it
