Story following a group of slackers fighting for an insurgent group in a Second American Civil War.

They all work behind friendly lines, doing menial shit like guarding check points and sorting ammunition.

Inspired by a documentary I watched following young Afghan National Police officers who neglected their duties to smoke hash and fuck girls lol.

A book about collective struggle of Chuds and Beckies. Chads only wanted to fuck Stacies and Stacies only wanted to fuck Chads. This condition marginalized Beckies and Chuds. Being left with horrible situation, Chuds and Beckies finally had sex. It turned out that their offsprings were intellectually superior due to the high IQ of average chud (depressive people tend to be intellectually superior btw, Schopenhauer told me so I guess).

With their intellectual superiority, the next generation of Chuds and Beckies began to plan systemic invasion and colonization to the territories of Chads and Stacies only to take revenge over humiliation, and degradation.

A western style xianxia/wuxia story where the core theme is that the Chinese are an inhuman race of genocidal, amoral bugpeople who will do anything so long as it benefits the individual. The cultivation system will be a deliberate bastardization of the cultivation system used by many chinese novels, in fact, it will look unbearable to anyone who has actually read a chinese xianxia/wuxia novel. The names will be a complete hodgepodge of vaguely East-Asian sounding names; the tropes will be distortions of the already distorted tropes present in many western-style xianxia/wuxia novels, and if I'm competent enough as a writer, the entire story will look like an overt example of cultural imperialism against the Chinese.

Upon it being recognized (no matter how many chapters it may take) as such, I will respond to their comment in badly translated mandarin, making them think that I'm a white man pretending to be Chinese in order to escape any criticism. I'll continue writing the story from then on but become more blatant with the anti-Chinese propaganda, mimicking the jingoistic nationalism present in many Chinese webnovels, up until the backlash makes any attempts at writing impossible. Then I will respond to every critic's comment in fluent mandarin, refuse to elaborate, and delete my account.

I have no idea why I even thought up of this scheme other than to LARP as a false flagging glowie.

A book showcasing the difference between some prepped up university student in the US and a hard working Mexican national, in the end saying that they're both retarded people that shouldn't even be breathing. The student being arrogant and having his worldview be supported by small things he consciously decided to take in as a consequence of his inability to fully consider the full scope of an issue, something that most sheltered people who have their voices heard are prone to, and the Mexican also being displayed as an opportunist whose only intention is to feed from the relaxed immigration ever more prevalent in America, a person that at first, would be considered to be the one the reader should have identified with and been on the side of, but later on proving to be just another person whose limited abilities to contribute to an ever changing society regardless of his roots, also shouldn't be pitied in any way. That's basically the gist of what I'm trying to get at, but I think that eventually I'll start trying to branch out into different types of subjects using the characters I've created.

A realist novel: it's about a woman who gets job at a shabby local-government-run art museum in a bleak, vaguely Northern Europe coastal town - but that's not important.

The idea that I liked is based on her coworker at the gallery having a mute, autistic brother to whom the narrative focus switches for the duration of certain chapters.

In the brother chapters, he's wandering around town, around the grey dunes and sandy woods, the 19th-century public gardens and the secret 17th-century grottoes. And he's solving a series of puzzles that are exactly the kinds of things you'd get in a 90s point-and-click game. LucasArts-style, Grim Fandango-style.

Like he finds the wheel for the old pump, fixes the pump, and now the fountain springs into life. He steals the zoologist's key, he sneaks in and takes the rare bird eggs, he trades them to an unethical hotel chef for a map of the tunnels beneath town. It's described in close detail, his actions neutral and mechanical - almost like reading a walkthrough, but with slightly more vividness, I would hope.

And the developments that unfold through the brother's problem-solving form the backdrop to the main narrative, and also indirectly cause pivotal plot points in that narrative. The woman sees the fountain is now flowing, so starts eating lunch on the stone benches around it, where she meets a zoologist freaking out about his bird eggs... etc...

The ending of the main plot would center around, and be instigated by, the ending of the brother plot. Like, he finally solves all the puzzles and uncovers some old treasure from the mad baron who founded the town, and it [somehow tbc] causes a crisis for the art gallery, and brings all the tensions to a head.

The title would be Goblinhome. 'Goblinhome', the start of the book will tell you, is the literal English translation of the name of the town (the real name of which, or even what language it's in, is never given).
