I post on /lit/, an image board on 4chan.org. What do you think?

>>8356950
Only the very end when he is killing himself is. The rest is told in a minimalist style. The book starts in media res when the guy has rebuilt his life, the emphasis is that his life is very average, boring and unsatisfying. The reader does not learn until the end first that he lost his old life and then lastly that he intends to kill himself on the hiking trip. For most of the story the hiking trip is implied to be a normal get away from the stresses of a banal life, the hiking trip is shown to be the 'goal'. I'm maybe 70% done with it but not sure if I'll ever finish it.

The Hot Fuzz thing was just a (bad) joke. It really doesn't fit at all with what your story sounds like. It seems interesting, but I'm honestly not sure how you'd want to end it either. Just running away doesn't feel quite right, but I've no clue what would make it better. Has potential, though.

I'm thinking that if I make it less about him running away and more about the organization that runs things from the shadows it could work. So less so that he's running but just that he's being absorbed into this kind of black hole of corruption.

I've got a veritable mountain of technical and plot details figured out, but I've rewritten the first chapter 3 times now, and I'm probably going to go back and do it again before I get any further (I haven't written much fiction for a few years now, and I'm pretty rusty.

A "Europe Central" style series of interludes, shotgunning perspectives across a planet devastated by a thinly veiled stand-in for World War I.
Basically its an excuse for me to retell my favorite anecdotes from the last two centuries of warfare via prose without needing to stick to the facts of what really occurred, and to have an excuse to delve into masturbatory and autistic worldbuilding.

"Have you ever heard that our brain can fill the gaps?" I answer without stuttering. Beneath her line of sight, my legs tremble.
"Yeah?" she asks without interest. "You-"
All of a sudden her eyes widened. Her cheeks blush bright red and bring colour to the dull room.
"Pervert!"
"I work with what I have." I said while sliding a side hip on her hospital. "Will you give me the full picture?"

Yes, my character is a virgin who tries to pretend his condition isn't an illness. He's actually insecure but can magically have some game with sick women. He has a fetish for anything that is more fucked up than he is.
>>
>>8358531
A little awkward and seems almost r9k-esque.

If he's insecure, the tone should be a little more arrogant. "without stuttering" sounds too modest.

None of that makes any sense. More holes than plot.

That's also retarded. Why would Old Earth not just change their genes back to the original ones, or end their eugenics plans to bring the religions back, or just fucking ask the rest of the universe if they can buy some fresh gametes?

>>8360082
Someone with tech around the level of early industrial society is able to create and quick-age a human clone, one thing we can't do today and another which is basically impossible?

>>8360126

Y is the one that does that, the guy that delves into the occult, and keep in mind they started out with illusions, so there isn't really any reasoning as to how that clone can be there logically.
Tbh this was just some weird ass dream I had. Thought it had some potential.

I still don't think that really makes any sense; it has the same holes as The Prestige, which it's similar enough to that people are likely to say you ripped off.

For real: It's shit
You probably thought you were vert clever and all thinking of that plot but the truth is: Every teenager who has played a couple of JRPGs from the late 90s thought of the exact same shit.

That whole "God is in fact evil and it's not a fantasy setting but really a Sci fi world"

It's every edgy teenager wet dream. In fact, I thought your plot could give a really cool fiction if well handed until I saw the "It's gon be d33p!"

California, 20XX AD

a 52 year old divorced former CIA operative with mild PTSD is contacted by Ashton Fuck, mildly autistic tech billionaire, to steal ultra potent experimental marihuana from a military research facility.

it's unclear if we are dealing with a PKD-like reality warping catalyst, the secret to eternal life, God Himself or just really good weed.

drugged out Stream of consciousness section in which Ashton Fuck reflects on his shitty childhood, Randian individualism, failure to connect with fellow humans, confused gender identity, the human condition as inherently unstable transitionary stage, existential hollowness. dude's kinda fedora/cringe and he knows it, hates himself for it.

Meanwhile, Yung Vova, a pro-Soviet trap rap performer from St. Petersburg, Florida attempts to infiltrate the US music industry as part of a KGB psy-op plot. His handler is a mescaline Eurasianist crackpot who has deluded himself into thinking the whole scheme is of crucial world historical importance. Southern California=Lemuria=Pan-Turanian Urheimat

The barebones of this story. Little bit of /d/ and /lit/ together
>militia leader of a village desperate to save it from orcs raiders
>mysterious people offer to do it in exchange for her being his slave in mind/body
>transaction completes and she becomes his slave
>Master turns out to be travelling around motivated by intellual, artistic and cultural curiosity
>Slave acts as his bodyguard/sex slave(/d/ tier)
>Master's personal goal to cleanse himself from spooks and be free
>his previous slave sacrificed herself for him (he considers his slave to be part of him)
>finds death terrifying and fears it and struggles with the crippling nature of his freedom
>as a result becomes detached, cynical, selfish,bitter, melancholic with the slave being naive, optimistic, empathetic and contented with her servitude to him
>Slave struggles to understand master's plight much less help
>they join a coup coz master finds it intellucaly interesting
>one scarifice life for the other at the end of the coup
Idk who dies. If the slave dies, she dies happy and implores her master to be happy for the rest his life, talking him out of his fear of death (idk how). He does and goes in search for a new one.
If the master dies, he dies happy being free from the fear of death. However the slave is convinced he didn't want to bear the pain of another slave dying for him. His suffering rubs off on her as she struggles what to do with her newfound freedom.

I do have a ending where both don't die but it seems super cheesy. Plz give me your thoughts and critique thanks

Most of what I'm seeing here in this thread has no breathing room for any of the stories to naturally shape themselves out. I don't know if that makes any sense being put so vaguely.. but things like >>8362224 and >>8359209 all read like there's a claustrophobic cookie cutting sheet telling you what CAN and CANNOT be in the story.
The plot should be a natural movement created by the themes and ideas that you feel are urgent to express to others or even just get out of you

>>
>>8362477
How would you distinguish themes from fantasies?
Daydreams are so fucking envy driven and raw that they need to be dug into and expounded out of.. I think that is the most difficult part of good story telling. Being able to go in depth as to why someone would fantasize about these sorts of things and how one could derive personal, or even, universal meaning out of these longings.. Again, sorry for the indirectness (kinda what I'm criticizing as well, so look at me), I only post while I am drinking

>the whole concept of warfare is centred around the use of deception, manipulation, espionage, use of secret agents, secreter double agents and secreterer triple agents, draws heavily from Art of War.
>war takes years only because the planing takes years. Actual combat is over in a couple minutes as all plans and powers get unleashed in an instant
>there's almost no use of actual soldiers when with careful planing over the years a group of mages can win a war in a moment.
>the nations in the setting develop unique traditions because of this
The "plot" is more of an exploration of the world. Each chapter deals with different characters but they eventually meet up towards the end. There's no greater than life scope, no grander plot, just the futility of war and how it renders everything else senseless before it, how war is a whole different world in itself and how it is the ultimate contest, and ultimately how the humanity needs war in order to draw what's best and also what's worst from it.

An operator at a Tennessee wastewater plant is struck by lightning. He falls into a pool of sewage and his body is never found. Soon afterwards, adult humans start to climb out of the sewers of Chattanooga. Every drop of cum flushed into the city's system transforms into the human it would've become if it had fertilized an egg. The waste people bear a striking resemblance to their maker.

It's supposed to be a sort of fuck you to atheist fedoras who masturbate to rationality. It's about how a truly rational being might end up embracing everything they hate.

This sounds as if you have a very rudimentary understanding of both secular schools of thought and organized religion. It sounds like a teens story masquerading as worthwhile Science Fiction.

No you don't see them at all, you see a minuscule facet of them, the book would be much more interesting if instead of being another "point and laugh at the nonmentioned fool" story, it showed more of the humanity that those kinds of people ultimately possess and possibly even why they come to hold such belief.
>>
>>8365352
Oh there would be plenty of that. The final act would feature clergy and non believers both facing crisises of faith (or lack thereof) and struggling to come to terms with the universe. The whole point is that people who are "Wrong" often have very good reasons for being so.

When I said "A fuck you to fedoras" I meant. "A character who represents their ideal ends up having to do a lot of things they would hate." Idealy they would identify with the hero(s) and expand their worldviews.

Funnily enough, it does take inspiration (of course) from Berserk, particularly the more morbid Medieval imagery it uses (I'm a big fan of actual Medieval art and I love Berserk's fantastic take on some of the same concepts, pic related). My protagonist isn't quite Dr. Guts but she's rude and apathetic enough. I've been writing for a long time but I always tend towards these kind of very visual stories. I hope it translates okay.

i don't see how it's similar beyond both being from the perspective of the evil side's perspective

overlord is a guy who becomes his MMO character who gets transported to a new fantasy world with his NPCs

mine is a human villager who tricks the horde of zombies who overran his village into thinking he's one of them and then seeing just how far he can take it when it ends up working.

>tower begins to fall, cop guy slides along floor and shoots window and goes through window and jumps into neighbouring building

>some more setpieces happen as a result of him killing supervillain because the minions come after him
>there's an airplane fight scene and a scene where the cop is transported into a different dimension and has to kill the Overlord
>book ends with cop getting superpowers

My book is designed to be a movie, so that's why there are so many setpieces. I'm not in it for the money, I just think that what happens in my book would be cool to watch as a movie so I'm writing it in the hopes that someone picks it up and makes it a movie.

I'm a bit late so you will probably not read this, but you should watch Near Death Experience. It's a french film starring Michel Houellebecq, really similar to the story you describe. Anyway, I think it's kind of cool.

>>8356939
Isn't it the plot of 50% of the novels ever written?

>>8357650
Please tell me your novel is going somewhere. I think it's great, for a sci-fi book. Do you think of it as a comedy? It could be a really dark comedy.

I'm currently writing this:
>france, 80's
>man has a steady life

>suddenly, he can't fall asleep
>insomnia for days
>he goes to the movies
>finally falls asleep
>go to the movies all day all night, just to get a few hours of sleep
>loses job

>becomes crazy because of insomnia
>kill self

I'm not sure about the ending tho. I feel like it's not saying anything.

>Back at the camp
>Drifter regains consciousness thanks to settlers.
>Drifter doesn't remember how he got injured, just that he was headed for the small town.
>Drifter notices his pistol is missing.
>Settlers return it to him and sheepishly admit it was so nice they couldn't help firing it.
>Settlers explain more. They were kicked out of the town by the new government. With nowhere else to go, some founded a settlement hidden in the forest. They hope to one day take back their town, but have less chance than ever thanks to the town's new commander.
>Drifter shows interest in when the new government and commander took over, but doesn't show interest in the settlers' sob story.
>Drifter thanks the settlers and then heads for the town.

>Back at the town school
>Today is the day the girl gets kicked out of the school.
>She gathers her things and is met by the mayor and other town officials
>The mayor explains that he heard about her troubles and had arranged for her to be pulled out of school, with the intention of taking her to a better place where she could meet her potential: city hall.
>The town officials drive the mayor and girl to city hall. She looks out the vehicle and marvels at the nice building.
>Inside, the mayor and officials take her to her new private room where she unloads her things.
>They leave her to explore and get settled in, but will return tomorrow to show her where she will be working.
>She spends some time outside on the well kept grounds and some inside having a big feast.

>Drifter arrives at the town
>Guards realize he is an outsider and shadow him.
>Drifter stops at a saloon for lunch and a room.
>Guards confront him, tell him they are weary about outsiders after an attack by bandits who claimed to be helping a friend
>Guards describe how they had the bandits pinned, but then the bandits used a weapon they will never forget to get away.
>Drifter says he's just looking for work.
>Guards laugh, then sucker punch him and say that his kind is not welcome there.
>Fight ensues.
>Drifter gets the best of a couple of them, but the rest beat him up and throw him out.
>Guards settle back inside the saloon.
>Guards notice that the drifter dropped the very pistol that owned them the other day.
>Guards rush outside to try to find the drifter, but he is gone.
>Knowing he couldn't have gone far, guards call out to him, telling him they'll return his gun if he tells them where his friends are, and that it would make a nice trophy for the commander, so if he didn't come for it now, he would never see it again.
>Drifter doesn't take the bait.

>Later that night, at the camp.
>Drifter shows up with a peace offering.
>Drifter has decided to join their cause.

>Back at city hall.
>Girl looks up at the stars from her private room
>She gives thanks for her good fortune, admits her worry about living up to the expectations and finding a friend, but promises to do her best.

I've wanted to write a story like it since 2005 or so, the plot came more into focus after the 2008 election and more so after coming to /lit/. A woman teacher runs for president on a semi-far leftist platform and out maneuvers the Clinton campaign at every turn despite their massive and obvious cheating. It's kind of incredible how life nearly imitated my art. And yes, this book, if I could have written it into something good, and it had caught on, would have landed me in some hot water. Don't be so naive.
But, the timing is all wrong now and I'm still not confident enough to tak on the project. It was going to be released free anyway.

I assumed as much, well about the intentional pointlessness at least. Seems like short story material, rather than a novel.

I got a few tips: Try to not present the character a straw man, but as a product of terrible expectations and influences. And add some shit about self imposed suffering and the artist never being satisfied with his work, thus isolating himself because of his insecurities which he sees as morals.

>Looking at the Drifter, she sees someone who is homeless, someone ashamed of his lower class status and his form who hides behind a large colorful poncho, someone whose eyes, despite a steely gaze, show a desperation to be accepted by her kind. She sees a loser who she can easily use, so she decides to play with him.
>She turns on the charm and goes for his weak points.
>Ignoring his spiel, she warmly invites him to take a few shots and offers him her gun.
>The Drifter accepts, but proves to be a lousy shot from that distance, yet he keeps his steely gaze.
>She giggles at his bad aim and invites him on a trip across the lake. Maybe he would hit something if they were closer to the targets.
>The Drifter accepts again.
>In the air, the Drifter's colors shine brilliantly in the sun.
>She marvels at the view for second before joining him.
>In the privacy of the air, she tells the Drifter that none of her kind look that good, and then she playfully leaves him in her dust.
>The Drifter's expression changes for a moment.

>These activities apparently convince the Drifter to join her band.
>Infighting appears in the group, and she finds out the Drifter is behind it.
>She is impressed that the Drifter wasn't completely broken, and she pulls him aside to confide in him.
>She tells him a story about her gang's main target, a high ranking Council who she blames for the problems on the planet and accuses of running the world through a puppet governor.
>Drifter is shaken by her story.
>The look on his face tells her she's won the game.

At last, the two threads we started off with meet!

Flashback Part 2:
>The gang moves to a lodge, where there are also some innocent lodgers.
>The tension within the group has taken a life of its own and grows exponentially without the Drifter's help.
>The leader believes the Drifter is still behind it and can't believe he is outplaying her.
>It makes her lose her mind a little bit, and unexpectedly, it also turns her on.
>Not willing to lose, she confronts the Drifter one more time, this time to break him with sex.
>A huge fight breaks out between her gang's members.
>She doesn't notice and kisses the Drifter.
>Having been broken, the Drifter kisses back.
>She and the drifter make their way to somewhere more private.
>The fight gets out of control.
>Police bust into the lodge.
>She finally notices that something is going on and leaves the Drifter to find out what.

>A while later, the Drifter walks out of the lodge.
>The whole gang had been rounded up outside and cuffed, including her.
>She is glad to see the Drifter uncuffed and figures he had been mistaken for an innocent lodger since he was new.
>She asks him, with a warm smile, to grab a box from the lodge, before the police can find it, to keep it safe for her.
>Before the Drifter can respond, the Governor appears and congratulates him, his most trusted special agent, for another successful mission.
>Drifter can't bring himself to say anything.
>She looks at the Drifter in complete disgust. The warmth had all gone.
>She is carted off by police. The Governor accompanies them.
>Alone, the Drifter returns to the lodge and finds the box. He looks inside. There's a distinctive, powerful looking pistol.
>He picks it up.
>End flashback.

In the present:
>Back in the small town, in the Commander's office.
>The Commander inspects the distinctive pistol he had been given by his troops.
>There is a knock on his door.
>The Mayor enters.
>The Mayor explains that in light of recent troubles he has found him a helping hand.
>Commander is slightly offended at the notions that there are troubles and that he needs help.
>In walks the girl the Mayor had pulled out of school.
>She cheerfully says hello.

>ghetto nigga travels back in time by accident
>loses memory from a blow to the head, becomes knight because that's what people think he is
>gets pulled back into the present and fights crime on horseback
>meanwhile, due to some shit that had gone on earlier (the reason why people thought he was a knight was that he'd arrived in the kingdom before another knight who was expected to make a speech unifying the nearest kingdom, and he fucked the speech up because he was high as fuck), the course of history had been radically changed
>he suddenly remembers what his old life was like and how the world was different
>teams up with a scientist to travel back through the course of history and change everything he fucked up
>scientist just turns out to be a schizo
>nigga gets put in prison because he burgled a house

The whole thing is a metaphor for the ridiculous nature of existence. I'm expecting to win shitloads of awards.
