Thinking of retooling an old short story I wrote to get back into the swing of writing, which I haven't done properly in years

Honestly uni fucking ruined my writing ability. I keep burning myself out on essays, and even when I have the time and energy to write something else it comes out technical and boring bc my philosophy department is Anglo-autistic

And that's it for the second story I had in mind. I have one image for the third story and one for the first. Not going to post unless more interest is expressed though.

>>12291788
Thanks Harold Bloom

>>12291794
Yeah basically. It's about a post-post-apocalypse where dragons have inherited the earth and stage a combined debate/duel argument every hundred years or so to decide how to administer the affairs of the human race and what ideology to apply to them. So most of the storyboards are just alternate endings where various "bad guys" win and apply their ideologies (anti-natalist, IE killing everyone, neoliberal accelerationist, etc)

>>	Anonymous Wed Dec 26 18:22:26 2018 No.12291812 >>12291804 So you just want to ripoff Drakengard?

>>	Anonymous Wed Dec 26 18:23:17 2018 No.12291817 >>12291812 I would be more than happy to just rip off Drakengard, if that was the ultimate result of what I was doing. I don't think the similarities are more than cosmetic though.

>>12291816
That's a good question. It's not actually explained until the fifth story. Immediately after nuking the world, the surviving government of the primary aggressor state realized that it was unlikely humans would be able to survive, so they started working on genetic modification, but there were setbacks. In this context, the concept of creating a successor race with the cognitive abilities of humans gained a temporary but fleeting foothold, which was enough to introduce dragons into the world.

Well, that argument was pretty lame, but I liked the setting part with the descriptions and ideas. Looks promising, looking forward to it, I mean, if you still want to make it.

I do. I have no idea how to retool it into a novel series though, and I'm too retarded to manage to make even the first one as a game. Pic related: as far as I've managed to get trying to make it as a game. I'm schizoaffective and I lost all my books due to homelessness so it would be very hard to write at this point at all. I had kind of hoped I could magical charisma someone else into doing it? But I will certainly continue to do anemic things like writing sporadic arguments or storyboards, and maybe eventually that will snowball into actually doing something.

Have you tried /agdg/ on /vg/? They usually have people that adopt ideas guy or newbie coders. My advice would at least try there, if you still interest in making a game. Otherwise, you can keep practicing, who knows what may come out of it?

>>	Anonymous Wed Dec 26 18:48:17 2018 No.12291950 >>12291940 Thanks, I'll give it a shot. And yeah, definitely going to keep reading and trying to think and occasionally writing. I just don't know how much of what I originally had is anything I have left to leverage.
