And that's the problem... because free will doesn't exist :^)

What's it going to be then, eh?

It's obviously 'book minus final chapter > film > book with final chapter'

Efil hands Alandra a piece of Taffy.

ALANDRA
You want me to eat it?

EFIL
Just try it.

Alandra chews it and swallows it.

ALANDRA
What's up? It's fine. Why are you acting so weird?

EFIL
What? Dammit. Wait, wait, wait...

Efil pulls out another piece of taffy, breaking it in half and handing one to Alandra.

EFIL
Here.

Alandra eats her half and so does Efil.

ALANDRA
Yeah, it's fine.

Efil chews it and frowns.

EFIL
God dammit, what the hell?

ALANDRA
Nothing?

EFIL
Nope.

ALANDRA
Woah, seriously?

EFIL
Yeah, I've been trying to find something that I can taste but it's, like, not working! Dammit!

ALANDRA
Calm down, Jesus. When did this start?

EFIL
Just when you left the room.

ALANDRA
Did you eat anything weird today?

EFIL
Nope, just some Pizza from Manning's around five. And leftovers from my sister's party.

ALANDRA
That's crazy. Hey try this.

Alandra hands Efil a large block of fudge which Efil wolfs down in the matter of seconds.

EFIL
Nope. Nothing.

ALANDRA
Okay, I got you.

As she says this she trots over to the cabinet and opens to door, pulling out a huge wooden bowl.She grabs a box of brownie mix from under the counter and a can of sugar pouring the entirety of each into the bowl. She adds water and starts to run around the room grabbing boxes of sweets and throwing them in.

no, I wrote the full thing but it's a bitch to format on /lit/.

I wonder if /lit/ accepts screenplays

INT. Under the Sun candy shop, Manning, Alberta, canada - Night

EFIL, a redhead aged 19 is sitting down behind the counter of the store, leaning on her elbow, with her thick rimmed glasses barely hanging on her face.

To her left sits ALANDRA, aged 20 with long curly brown hair who is partly obscured by the cash register as she swipes through her phone.

ALANDRA
Hey Efil, I gotta go to the bathroom. Can you watch the register? ...Not that anyone's gonna come in this late.

Efil
Yep

Alandra walks to the bathroom.

Efil yawns.She looks at a jar of taffy. She attempts to twist the lid off but struggles so she takes part of her sleeve and twists it off.Taking one out and unwraps it, plopping it in her mouth.

As She is chewing it, her eyes widen and she looks around then spits it out, she takes another taffy, after chewing it she frowns and spits it out.

Efil takes another one and starts to chew it, which causes her to frown again and spit it out.She moves to the rock candy jar and starts to eat that, which causes a similar look of distaste.

EFIL
What the fuck?(mumbles)She sticks out her tongue and starts to wipe it, squeeze it and then she looks down worried.The toilet flushes and Alandra comes back.

ALANDRA
I miss anything?

EFIL
No. I mean, yes. Hey, try one of these.

>certain standard isn't literature, it's just writing
who's standard?

>>8665953
who ever said literature needed to be of lasting merit? Then why do people here discuss Harry Potter or other meme books? Also merit is subjective.

Why doesn't /lit/ consider fanfiction liturature? It seems particularly classist, especially when Bob Dylan and other musicians are also literature now.

One could argue that the King James Bible is fan fiction. So why isn't a story about sonic and tales fucking considered literature?

This is not a troll post, I'm genuinely interested.

It's good, hell it's great but it's not a masterpiece

Nietzsche is the worst philosopher of all time. He's more poetry than actually saying anything substantial.
