>Greatest music
>Mozart

top kek

>>9932752
No

>>9932752
I think you wrote that question backwards.

Is there any music that surpasses or at least matches the greatest poems? I don't think there is.

I also find it strange that you included Beethoven and Mozart after "greatest music" as if they apply?

>How the FUCK do you come up with original ideas? Everything I think of has already been done.

its simply really. firstly you need to understand that all of the ideas are come from are destined to be repeated much like history. and quite so as it is the continent exploration and Japanese hermits chanting the lotus supra. times not unlike the present will reconcile you with the sad fate that your work is not original but there is a problem. and that is this: if you look at all the other work you you will realize it is only as unique as you permit it to be. so for instance if you wish to name a character don't, it is who the reader will think of it is in his imagination, then if that is unoriginal it is not your fault.

If you can't come up with original ideas, just turn them on their heads:

>the two continents are so far apart only few can travel between them, but both continents are still important to the story
>the undead are actually the good guys
>the old order was actually established to protect the world against a greater evil (and not the undead, btw); your rebel wizard is knowingly or unknowingly being used by this greater evil
>make your dwarves scholarly but stubborn, and live above ground
>make your elves the dumb savages, who wield magic but are unable to control it well (leading to chaos when they attempt to use it)
>your pseudo-orcs are not mindless conquerors, but are just migrating because they're escaping an even greater evil (see point about the old order)

new york shit isn't literature

New York trilogy is absolutely fantastic and one of my favorite books

Everything else I've read by him has just made me wish I reread NY trilogy

>>9925683
So many flyovers on this board. Any time NY is even alluded to they have to cry about it.

Different subject but one of the many things I hate about Rowling is her use of passive language.

> sat down behind her desk, frowning

Just say

> sat down behind her desk and frowned

It's seen by a lot of people as a hallmark of bad writing, yet she is lauded as an example for children.

>>9932792

Wow, it's almost as if writing has no "rules" and you can make anything sound good if you're a practiced enough writer.

I bet you think you also think you always have to show and never tell?

>>9932792
There's a difference in meaning though.

The structure is fun and Nab's prose is enjoyably extravagant as usual. I don't think Shade's poem is great poetry, but it's perfectly fine as a vehicle for the novel.

Not really. Fantastic book though

I think Shade's poem has some very good parts. It's not amazing, but it's pretty good, and when you tie it in with the rest of the book it becomes incredible. The way the two communicate is just great. Kinbote's notes are also interesting in an independent fashion.

Read Die Wahlverwandtschaften.
Or how about Faust?

>>9925864
>or how about Faust

I'm waiting to read his magnum opus, as I want to read his other works first.

>>9925880
His autobiography Dichtung und Wahrheit might also be interesting.

Against, & on top of an old iron radiator I seize her, & kiss her. She is startled, but she’s a sexybeast. I fondle her large firm tits & French kiss her, pushing my groin into hers. She is taken aback I have no fear. Within a minute her hubris fades as her taut, muscular body melts to my smaller body’s rhythms & commands. After pulling my pants, underpants & her panties down, & her skirt up, condoming myself, I fuck her hard - tonguing her inner palate. She rips into my back with her claws, wraps her muscular thighs around me & squeezes. Her squeals & grunts tickle huzzahs & shock from the listeners. The pain & pleasure of me pounding her against the iron radiator is something she’s never felt nor dreamt of. All resistance fades. The only difference between black & white chicks is black chicks’ pubic hairs are more abrasive, like rubbing your groin against a Brillo pad. Such thoughts mean little as Marvella is off in the moment as our loins shudder against each others’. She is not a black stallioness, nor I a little white dick, just another woman in the thrall of a man hammering her, dominating her will. I come. She has radiator prints embossed into her back. I drop her on the floor next to the radiator as she catches her breath. She smiles at me, her legs spread & pinkness slowly oozing my semen out. She wants more. I want another pile drive, to see how far this animal act takes us. She’s 1 of the best fucks ever - her body’s beckonings indicate she reciprocates - but I’ve proven my point! I whip off my condom, pull up my pants, & walk through the door with my load showing in the rubber’s tip as proof. I’m a hero to white boys. I’m a pervert to white chicks who mocked me, but now regard me a priapic anomaly worth inspection. Marvella’s pals rush past me, to see what happened. They help her to their table, where she catches her breath, & some black guys feel like cuckolds. A white boy did for her what they could never do. They won’t forget that - some are J-Liners. The buzz that day is our tryst. Marvella & I never do it again - in fact, we never speak. Only furtive, but decipherable, glances are exchanged. Marvella’s body was marvelous - strong, sexy, her gluteus muscular. The rich musky scent of her sweat, & her eyeglasses crooked across he face as she lay on the floor, begging for another ride, stick with me:

MARVELLA RIDES THE BIG IRON PIPE

O, yes she was a sassy steely stallioness,
that bitch - with iron shanks - who in the lunchroom ranked
on me. Said she, “You white boys jus’ can’t gimme mine!
You tiny! You queer!” Yet she liked my small white ass

as I made objections to her point, and then begged
to show her mine. Marvella said, “You little boy,
I'll snap yo’ skinny ass in two!” Her iron legs
then tried. But it was futile because she enjoyed

my eager hammer pressing steel into her spine,
on the old radiator, dark in the stairwell
which led to the lunchroom, which cheered all of her squeals

as I pulled down hard on her glistened buns of steel
in such awkward positions. She loved it brutal,
as I gave her my best, yet never was I thanked.

I asked what that had to do with this room. Tonio said that some faggots could not get any men to like them enough to let them stick their dicks in their assholes so they would come to Tonio’s. Was I supposed to let a faggot stick his dick in my asshole? Of course not, Tonio assured me. Instead the faggots would stick their dicks through the holes & the kids would just lick & suck on them for a few minutes & the faggots would pretend it was a man’s asshole, & sometimes even non-faggots who couldn’t get women would come to get their dicks sucked through the Glory Hole & pretend they were sticking their dicks in a woman’s hole, which was called a cunt, I soon learned.

So, all I would have to do would be to suck dick for a few minutes? Sure, said Tonio, that was it. He told me I should watch the other kids before trying it. Basically the kids, about a dozen in the room, although Tonio took care of 3 or 4 times as many (they would rotate nights), would see the dick & then pretend it was a lollipop- sometimes licking the dick tip gently, & sometimes, as it got bigger, wrapping their whole mouth around it.

The walls would sometimes shake on the other side as the faggots seemed to love the dick-sucking. You could hear them curse & scream with pleasure- sometimes so loud that the music that usually emanated from the club could barely be heard at all. After about 20 minutes of watching the oldest kid, Tilda, a blond girl, got up & told me to give it a try. I sat in her seat & waited for the next dick to pop through. It was quite a wait. I guess Tonio’s was slow that night.

Expansive and well-researched. Great exposition on the battles, and uses Bonny's own correspondences as the fundamental primary sources.

Are you Japanese?
>Yes
Just do it.
>No
You're fucked, weebs are only mad jelly at you while normies couldn't care less, meaning no one will buy your shit and you've ruined your reputation for noting.

Can you write in Japanese?
>Yes
Just do it. There are LN contests all the time for aspiring writers in Japan. You don't have to be Japanese to join.
>No
You're fucked. The Japanese can't read English and no one in the west will publish you.

Do you know someone who knows Japanese?
>Yes
Then have them translate your shit and try your luck by the aforementioned method.
>No
You're fucked.

I want to try writing one since it looks so easy to produce action/adventures in them, but I'm afraid to detetoriate my skills doing so...
