why did you feel the need to post this to an anime hentai-jerking board? Do you enjoy the idea of coming across as "le sensitive sincere holy man" to a bunch of 4channers? Does it make you feel cool?

>>9878240
Can we get a /Chr/ containment board for you fags?

>Op realized that in his Mona Lisa's face he saw the grace of a god and finally understood how someone could be mistaken to be created in the image of a god.
>he turned around to see if the overweight people were still preoccupied with their meaningless meandering and wiped the mustard off his face and quickly applies it to his 3 inch penis which was being hidden from view by his over-sized brand new limited edition novelty "how to read books" book.
>through hard breaths and contorted thrusts of the body he finally finished himself off and cleaned himself with a towel, he turned back towards the body guard after cleaning himself to return that same Mona Lisa like smile only to find a look of horror on the face on the Life Guard, he turned around to see everyone around him was spaghetti, they had all turned into spaghetti every last one of them, they were slipping and sliding through a giant pool of tomato sauce and waddling unerringly in a rhythmic fashion.
>bewildered by this spectacle OP tried to pinch himself to wake up, hoping he had fallen into some kind of sleep and was having a nightmare, but as he tried to feel his hands he realized he could not, and as he looked down, he saw that he was also spaghetti
>and then OP woke up, and realized he was a faggot

Identify as a trans and you will be a hero

You should dress like a girl whenever you write something

You probably wouldn't understand it anyway

very Indepent comment, thanks

Some prose writers are interested in prosody....others aren't.

Sebald, for example, puts an awful lot of work into the rhythm of his sentences.

>>9877934
well that sure wasn't helpful at all and had no reason for being posted whatsoever

prosody is kind of overrated when it comes to good prose imo. I like a strong sense of diction and sentence structure.

The Way is True, but currently unpopular because being a centrist is considered "immoral" by the political extremism of modern culture.

Have you read the Iliad? I'm not liking it at all at the moment and am wondering if I'll bother reading the Odyssey afterwards.

>>9877673
Odyssey is a lot more fun to read than Illiad honestly. You're not a bored Greek king wanting a feel good story about ancient family feats afer all.

>>9877673
How far are you into it? The Iliad is amazing but the first few chapters/books test people's patience.

no but OP is still a Faggot

Post sexy book covers, Penguin are the best for book covers.

Tolkien

>>9877358
Tolkien was an anarcho-monarchist.

I saw this in dialogue once, I ripped the book in half on the spot

Unquote.

frogposters should be "beaten to death in the streets"

why do you like that guy's stories? personally, I find them corny. explain yOURSELF!

Bump. I am interested in this myself, anon. I have some ideas but they are not nearly as straightforward as simply telling recommending a book that has "Lovecraftian" elements.

you could try more machen, also bierce then robert w. chambers, laird barron, anything that references carcosa in the title. robert shearman and ligotti if you want more contemporary feeling stuff.

This

>A man cant leave his town due to contrived coincidences. This goes on for years.
A good premise, but it would need to differentiate itself from the Truman Show.

>Some vigilante hero, except he picks on people for the smallest crimes like jaywalking and tries to murder them.
This could be funny – it depends on what you do with it. Played too straight, the vigilante might just come off as a boring minor villain.

>Story about a fucking loser fixing his life via sacrificing his true hobby.
This is too little to go off, since it just sounds like a vague generic lit-fic premise.

>Thief enters man home, they suddenly change identities and no one realizes.
What, like a Freaky Friday thing? A literal interpretation of identity theft? Can the thief steal abstract concepts like identities?

I'll say the fourth
