An empire of pacifists is conquering the world, and they're doing it without armies or battles. They essentially have a supernatural way of purging violence from people's minds that has to do with ascendent consciousness. There is only one group that can really stop them, a race of savages able to enter into an animalistic trance which completely blocks out their higher faculties, rendering them immune to the quelling, which depends on linking with the consciousness of the person.

I'm not writing a book, I'm writing a postmodern happening on TOR. Taking the aspects of /x/, sociology of religion, skepticism, deep web folklore, and wikileaks to whole new levels.

The premise:

On an onion blog I am an unidentified American detective writing about a network of elites, the crimes they have committed, and their mystery religion. So I'm not re-hashing the tired tropes of lizardmen/reptilians, I'm making use of actual sociology of western esoteric traditions (from scholarship like the SUNY series in western esotericism), and trying to mimic police report writing quirks as much as possible. Part Norman Cohn, part The Wire, and part X-Files.

two ideas that have been floating around for a while... if anyone else wants to do them, please do, though they probably won't seem that attractive to anyone who hasn't spent as long thinking about them -- just a general thing i've noticed about fiction.

one is a re-telling of the french revolution through the eyes of someone who is almost entirely unaffected by it; perhaps some invalid of society who hangs out in the sewers, not because of social oppression of the ruling class, but because he just prefers it. i think it'd be an interesting subject to revisit with a non-victorian outlook.

another is essentially a bible fan-fiction where gabriel slowly realizes how in love with mary he is, culminating (?) to the tragic moment where he/she must inform her that god is planting his seed within her. i'm thinking a modern setting might do it some good. and though i'd try to avoid this as much as possible, it would draw inevitable comparisons to twilight novels and supernatural romance in general.

pic unrelated.

I once considered rewriting the Bible in a form which conforms properly to later Christian mythology.

So, for example, the Holy Grail would make an actual appearance, Satan would indeed be described as rebelling against God in Heaven, he would be the snake in the Garden of Eden, the fruit of the tree would indeed be an apple etc. etc.
