>captcha: induced jorev

In a dystopian future, a young girl named Kierb is plucked from the streets by The Cult of Jorev, which worships a powerful (male) psychic from the ancient past who once ruled over a golden age for the downtrodden human race. Kierb is told that she is the reincarnation of Jorev, and trained in the use of her natural psychic capacities. As the training goes on, however, Kierb notices strange changes in her body; her period stops, and her voice starts to crack and lower. When she learns that the cult plans to forcibly transform her into a new Jorev to use as a figurehead, she flees to the safety of the urban sink, barely staying one step ahead of the ubiquitous cult. Kierb must come to grips with her dymorphic body and her changing personality in order to destroy the cult for good and escape the fate of becoming an induced Jorev.

Idea that's been floating in my head for a while...

Very similar to Watchmen. This guy who was a lawyer back in the 80's lives in this world that essentially is full of heroes, some with powers, some without. Back in the 80's he basically eliminated all of them, either by holding them by trial or straight up killing them. The story is narrated in modern times by the lawyer (also the antagonist), who basically tells his version of the story, and also takes care of some unfinished business.

I like it, but I think the plot needs to be more dynamic. [Sorry in advance for not giving a a number out of ten.] I don't know what you've read, but the books that tend to stick with me usually involve many other conflicts as well. I know I'm being vague, but I genuinely think if you only consider what you've read [Watchmen included], you'll clearly see what I mean and for me to say anything beyond that would be to write your story. The idea itself as a central idea sounds like it has great potential to me.

I'm fully aware that I was vague, and didn't provide a number or even a tl;dr

Whatever. I'm anonymous, so, if u mad, fuck it.

A research scientist synthesizes a drug that when taken, makes everyone in the world "invisible" for the duration of the trip. That is, the user experiences everything else as normal, but other people cease to exist during the effects of the drug.
The drug has a very sudden come-down; suddenly people appear again. They don't mention seeing the scientist disappear; he was still in their world.

The scientist, being somewhat disenchanted with human interaction, begins using more and more of this drug. For longer and longer periods of time he works in a perfectly silent, one-man world. He finds himself building a tolerance and taking ever greater doses of his drug.
Over time he begins to notice his colleagues paying less mind to him. They don't talk to him as much and seem to notice him less and less. He grows increasingly unhinged, and eventually synthesizes and self-administers a massive, groundbreaking dose of his drug. People disappear for hours, then days. The scientist has no idea how long the trip will last, and so continues to work in peace.

The story closes with the scientist tinkering in his lab, without any living being in existence to bother him. Suddenly, the door behind him slams.

We just finished reading the Scarlet Letter in my English class, and now I have to write a poem about a character in which the character tells what they have lost, gained, and retained throughout the novel.
I chose to write about Chillingworth. Instead of a straightforward, mundane monologue, I'm thinking of writing a narrative poem in which Chillingworth begins to dabble in black magic. By doing so, he would invoke the "black man" of the forest that is mentioned throughout the story. He would confess what he had lost to the devil, and the devil would help him seek his revenge.
It seems a bit far fetched, but I think, if I can actually pull off a narrative poem, it might be rather interesting. What does /lit/ think? Would it work, or should I just stick to the rubric she provided?

Well its shit right now. Just the rough draft is finished. I kinda did the kerouac thing. First thought is best thought. I literally wrote it in probably an hour. its 4 pages at the moment. I get into these autowriting modes when i go through prolonged period without sleep. Usually write pretty interesting stuff durring those time.

Heres a couple more ideas for the hell of it.
Story called the compromise im working on. It's about the compromises in life we must make as we mature and become more disillustioned as are childhood aspirations are met with the cruel limations of life. Main character starts living more and more reckless all sparked by itentionally speeding through stop signs at sites where he is unaware of oncoming traffic.

Also movie idea stoner zombie comedy.
Comet crashes in graveyard. Comet has radioactive bud on it. Zombies rise. Smoke weed. Get munchies. And go into town and eat the people. Killer Munchies.

There's a guy who takes a shit. He usually rates his shit on a scale of 1 to 10 based on factors such as odor, solidity, splashback, burn or lack thereof, number of wipes required, time taken, and general feeling after the shit.
He has never before taken a perfect shit; the shit is always lacking in some aspect. But one day it happens. A sold, odorless, and satisfying dump is released which falls into the water like an Olympic diver. A clean test wipe shows no more are necessary. Glorious. Tears come to the man's eyes. Under his breath he whispers, "a perfect 10." He wipes his ass one more time just to be sure. The paper is white as a cloud on a sunny day. He leaves the stall and takes off work early that day to peacefully reflect on the shit it took him 42 years to produce.
The next day the nature called once again. He knew this shit could not possibly be as satisfying as yesterday's. He had previously eaten Indian food.

There's a guy who takes a shit. He usually rates his shit on a scale of 1 to 10 based on factors such as odor, solidity, splashback, burn or lack thereof, number of wipes required, time taken, and general feeling after the shit.
He has never before taken a perfect shit; the shit is always lacking in some aspect. But one day it happens. A sold, odorless, and satisfying dump is released which falls into the water like an Olympic diver. A clean test wipe shows no more are necessary. Glorious. Tears come to the man's eyes. Under his breath he whispers, "a perfect 10." He wipes his ass one more time just to be sure. The paper is white as a cloud on a sunny day. He leaves the stall and takes off work early that day to peacefully reflect on the shit it took him 42 years to produce.
The next day the nature called once again. He knew this shit could not possibly be as satisfying as yesterday's. He had previously eaten Indian food. He held it in until the tightness in his colon passed. That night he thought about how such a satisfying shit will never pass though his anus again and it was better to quit life while he was ahead.The man hanged himself. Later on the coroner examined the man's hanging body. It was nude and rigor mortis was begging to take hold. Something was off, however.

the protagonist cries. the effigy lights up, his hands raise in the air as the flames completely engulf him as oil drums shower torrents of flames into the heavens. the effigy slowly falls apart until one arm is raised in a last stand of defiance, and falls to the earth. he moves close as the the fire dies down to safer levels and feels his entire life burn through him. he concieves an idea to liberate mankind through technology. he is no longer against the grain in reguards to capitalism, but rather embraces it. He concieves a plan to work within the capitalistic world and develop a system based thinking backwards from The Multivax. He struggles with making it a reality until he finds a way of combining modern trends in a way so powerful that it turns the entire western hemisphere on its axis. Education becomes free and open, the concept of intellectual property is shattered, entire industries start moving over to open platforms

Every afternoon, a 15-year old girl (We'll call her Daphne) stops by at the library to read, and stays until closing. One day she's confronted by an employee at the library, a 22-year-old man (we'll call him Max), about the book she's reading. They discover that they share the same sense of humor and taste in music, and quickly become friends. Every day, she shows up at the library, and they talk for hours. However, Daphne is not truthful. Thinking that he'd reject her if she told him her real age, Daphne tells Max that she's 19. She develops the character of this older Daphne as she talks with him, and she almost starts to believe it herself. As her relationship with Max becomes more and more intimate and sexually charged, she finds it more and more difficult to hide the truth, but also more difficult to tell the truth. They've already gone too far for her to let him know. Meanwhile, at home, Daphne struggles with the relationship she has with her mother, and her lack of motivation in school. The rest of the story is about how the tension in both of her lives build simultaneously, and how she tries to juggle them. In the end, Daphne breaks down with the pressure, and tells Max her real age. Although he is not terribly bothered by this, she believes he is, and leaves never to see him again. The situation with her mother continues.

With the Earth's resources depleting and water levels continuously rising, humans have fled to the seven orbital habitats now circling the Earth. However, levels of importance were established as space was limited, and many people were left to live within the slums of the ruined cities.

Micah, a young man travelling from city to city via the cross-channel highways, is in search of a mysterious girl known as The Parasol Girl - a elusive Crosser (person who can attach themselves to electronic signals and teleport, usually short distances however) who can attach herself to satellite signals. Soon enough, he finds himself thrown into the acts of the terrorist group - Liberateurs du Ciel - a group of Crossers who claim to be guardians of The Parasol Girl.
