Post apocalyptic future where we've "returned" to the dark ages, but there's 1 drone flying around from before the war and everyone worships it. The story revolves around various factions attempts to find and control the laser designator for it

I got one
I'm in a zombie apocalypse and I'm pretty much a badass with dual-wielded Beretta's.
Pretty much just Walking Dead but with me and my crush who loves me and has sex with me.
Also I'm a chosen one that can't get affected by the zombie virus and neither can my crush who is my girlfrien

A kid (me) writes a diary and his crush finds and reads it and instead of telling everyone she falls in love but doesn't know it's me because he always mysteriously signed off with "Yours, X"

Post apocalyptic zombie wasteland except all the zombies are women and the protagonist who is basically me is urgently needed because his jizz is the only thing which can kill the zombies so they weaponize his ejaculations until he falls in love with the princess of the zombies but can never consummate their love because one drop of his spunk would mean death for her. It's a tragedy.
>>
>>9547430
Okay, so one day I wake up in my bed but there's a naked chick next to me.
Turns out, she's me.

Now the story would deal with the whole thing how it really would happen. People don't just appear out of thin air. How do you face this legally? Where is she-me going to live? She's me, is she more me than me? What happened? Can't find out. Clearly, that has super vast implications on my life as a whole. Have you seen the series, I think it was Left Behind or something? 2% of people on the world disappear. Nothing else happens. But they made like 3 season or something exploring what effect it had on humanity. Now imagine this on small scale. Here it's not even so much as the type of the event (I got a double now) but rather that it happened at all.
Also I'm a normal man so what would happen if I was thrust into a female body? Body dysmorphia up to maximum. Also she-me would obviously not go to uni because like I said - how do you deal with this legally? She didn't exist up until now and is a completely different person outwardly. She doesn't even have any education - on paper. So her future is ruined. On the other hand, she's also free to do whatever. Also, there's the he-me who's going to be dealing with all this fallout. Jealousy, anger and misunderstanding abound even if it's just two mes. How do you solve all this shit? Can you even solve it?

I already wrote a bit of this when I was just starting with writing, but then stopped and am too lazy to rewrite it all.
It was at the time pretty fetishistic but all of the above was the center of being.
The possibilities are all there but I'll probably not return it in the near future. Because I'm lazy and I've got other things to do and write.

A Church in a great capital in 1000s Europe find a way to transfuse blood and cure any disease but only those inside the city's great walls are given access to keep the blood pure. The blood, however, slowly turns everyone who uses it into a rabies infested beast and only those who remained true to the "old faith" and didn't use the Church's blood remain human. They hunt the beasts and a Great War wages inside the city. Eventually a solo hunter finds his way through the Cathedral and discovers the Pontiff has his Deacons performing blood-beast ritual sacrifices to an unnamed deity in order to capture the knowledge required to become immortal. Lots of blood.

What I don't like about that scientist idea is that memetheoring about cloning has been pretty overdone, he'd have to be crazy do do anything like that which might detract or add to the narrative, and that he'd probably think it all through before even creating that clone. Not to mention that cloning doesn't really like that and this scenario loses the whole narrative of "something impossible happened what the shit and why"
Idk man.
>>
>>9547706
I literally stole what I thought the plot of Bloodborne was

It would still make a very interesting novel if it spoke more on the political side like World War Z's book to movie
>>
>>9547719
Cloning doesn't really work like that*

Though I suppose somehow creating a female version of himself that would also have to grow up before being implanted with his memories...
Well changing all this up just creates a whole new story and shuffles it a bit through the genres as well.

What my vision is a story with an impossible (supernatural? who knows?) starting point that, from that point on, is completely realistic and explores real problems and there's no sci-fi, supernatural stuff or other events like that anywhere. In the end, all efforts to figure out what happened, why or how are fruitless. Just like Left Behind. Though I didn't enjoy that series at all, it had an amazing premise that I thought I'd enjoy.

Or when you take Children of Men. There's also that unexplained event of women being unable to concieve. And the book/movie explores ramifications of that. Of course there's also that pregnant woman, but that's just a slight extension of the narrative, I think. They explore the world the infertility created a lot and I loved that.
Or the movie Blindness. In there, people start to go blind unexplainably. It explores what would happen after that in a realistic way with realistic drama, that is kicked off by that "supernatural" blindness and obviously is affected by it a lot.

So in a lot of ways I don't think a scientist creating a female clone of himself would or even could work in the same type of narrative.
I don't deny, however, that it could be very interesting. But maybe there already is a story like that. It sounds like something that would already be made.

A pet frog get raised from pond water tadpole to adulthood by a little boy and his mom makes the boy release the frog back into the pond. Fuck that, says the frog, and he hops back to the house (two day treacherous journey) only to find they moved. Using frog senses, the frog takes off on a cross-continental trip to find home. Using new friends (idk a bird maybe, maybe like a cat idk) and frog kumite, Froggo finally makes it to the house only to get stepped on and kicked into a bush by the boys cigarette-smoking father.
>>
>>9547723
Well you got the plot super wrong. How much of Bloodborne did you actually play? The Church STARTED the plague (the Old Yharnam Plague being a separate but similar incident) after Bergenworth swore off using the Blood and instead focused on studying the Eyes.

A genius high school girl, Jacklyn, makes a living by scamming, thieving and blackmailing. Instead of criminal, she views herself as a modern day entrepreneur with her company, Vice Inc.

The main character, Marie, is a teacher at Jacklyn's school. She cheats on her fiancé while drunk at a party, and ends up a tool of Jacklyn's schemes. Either Marie becomes the girl's servant and does whatever she asks, or else proof of her infidelity is sent to the unsuspecting fiancé.

At first Jacklyn's requests are rather innocent in nature, cook breakfast and lend the newspaper.
But when a teacher is murdered at school, Marie learns that her role in Vice Inc. is manifold...

I tried to write it but never finished because Jacklyn's character was inspired by my relationship with my grandparents and it got too depressing.

On the near future, a young man is cloned by a researching laboratory, we has chosen because his genome is considered "stable" enough for the requiriments of the project.

In order to experiment and finally cure most of the deseases caused by DNA deffects, the clone is breed to be a female with a rapid growth rate, in just a few months the young baby lass is a full grown 18 y/o woman.

Our protagonist falls in love with her, they secretly get "married" and start living a good and pleasant life together under the strict supervisiòn of the researching scientifics.

The main plot revolves around the moral conflicts of the two main leaders of the researching facility, one of the scientifics wants our protagonist to have a quiet life and enjoy his "dolce vita" with his wife and their future children, the other scientific wants to keep doing experiments with the couple, some of those experiments are moral ambigous but the vast majority are border line plain degenerated, in a vicious and canibal way.

In the future, clothing is mostly robotic and responds to a users emotions. As a result the need for conversation is pointless and people just let their cloths do the talking.
Story revolves around a male protag who works at a distribution centre. Despite the advanced technology it is used in an inefficient manner ie teleportation of objects from a shelf at the far back of the warehouse to the front, where it is then placed on a belt leading to the back of a truck.
Story focuses on the protags isolation and inability to show true emotion due to clothing getting in the way. End in his accidental death as he begins to enjoy this modern life.

A nineteen year-old woman that was abducted and groomed for sex slavery since she was 1 year old is unexpectedly free when the house she was held in suddenly burned down. For the first time she experiences the outside world, but as it turns out she is in the middle of a large, undeveloped forest and the house she was in was a retired millionaire's property. She and a recently-abducted seven year-old are the only survivors and they set out on a quest through the wild, experiencing the beauties of Earth. The only problem is that she is a heroin addict and goes through much agony throughout the first half of the book while the five year-old tries to help her cope with withdrawal by telling her about the joys of her own childhood, but it is the sorrow the older one has for the younger one's loss of her family that drives her the most to try and lead them back to civilization. Because the younger one was abducted from a campsite and is actually the daughter of a very seasoned survivalist, she has enough skill to keep both of them alive.

The Protocols of the Meetings of the Learned Elders of Idaho

A bright but underachieving internet sleuth with white skin and right-wing political views one night accidentally uncovers the secret etymology of the word "Idaho." The truth is that the word "Idaho" does not exist in any language known to man--like "Dasani," it is a completely artificial linguistic construction that was created by a power elite to sound blandly exotic and yet easily pronounceable to anglophone ears.

Suddenly the entire American geographical and political project is revealed to be a sham. As our hero learns more about "Idaho" and its purported history, its innocuous public image, its ancient past, it becomes increasingly apparent that the entire state is a mask for a shadowy oligarchy's sinister plot.

What's more is that there's another pseudo-exotic plastic word on the tip of everybody's tongue--"Obama."

Setting: Near Future, say 40-50 years from now

The overall tone of the work is humorous and at times satirical but it still has a "spirit" to it and isn't just meaningless jokes, the underlying messages will be both about the advent of modern technology (and how it affects us as a social species) & fatherhood as well.

It will be written in a slightly abnormal way, with footnotes & nontraditional structuring for the presentation.

The story opens with a man getting high smoking some weed & going out for a snack. He gets somewhere and realizes he left his wallet at home, and freshly installed in the location he is at is a "vending machine" (of sorts). However it does not accept money, instead, it will literally "suck" you off (enclosed sanitary environment with a disposable receptacle, we're not talking about a sentient box with lips or some shit) and your semen is the payment.

Years later he finds out he has a kid, who, was born out of the semen that was collected from this incident.

Basically the premise for the story is supposed to be ridiculous and humorous along with many other elements and events that occur. But the piece as a whole isn't meaningless laughs and instead conveys a commentary on modern (and future) society & how we interact with each other as people and learn to accept reality (and the ridiculous) and one another.

Probably sounds kind of gay when described like this but I actually intend to finish this.
I've started it however, as with most things I write, I'm no where near done.

So I guess we'll see

These are handed out by their Holy Stone Idol on their coming of age,and their culture allows no other action but to suffer their chagrin in stoic silence. An investigation and adventure later,it is revealed that the Voice of the Holy Stone Idol was provided by an angry youngster who was handed a particularly embarassing name. Suddenly,the warriors are free to choose their own names! And,of course,these turn out to be far more ridiculous than any they recieved before.

A guy decides to consciously 'delude' himself into thinking that he has written anything he reads. So as to not burden himself with conflicting works, he normally takes care to read as little as possible, to only talk or watch videos. But once he does read something he HAS (and this is a conscious decision he questions many times) to contrive how his background and history and whatnot has made him write whatever he had read, and make it coherent with his previous works. He doesn't write anything original until the climax of the story, and that is... predictably enough, writing this book itself.

Semi-biographical depictions of mundane things and observations, but written in a groundbreaking way that redefines the entire genre. It is absolutely hilarious but at the same time, heartbreaking in its reality. I am hailed as a literary genius. I spend the rest of my life cultivating an interesting and fascinating persona to ensure my legacy as an acclaimed author will be eternal.

A man faints while waiting in line to use an airplane toilet on a flight from Ljubljana to Helsinki. He recovers quickly but feels too ashamed of himself to walk back to his seat. For the rest of the three hour flight he stays there, sitting next to the toilet in the front of the plane, pretending to be too dizzy to stand up.

He gets talking to a flight attendant and they find a connection in the fact that they both lost a young daughter to a rare bone disease. They agree to meet again in Helsinki but they forget to exchange further contact information and they never get together again.

It is later revealed by the narrator that this departed daughter was one and the same girl.

There cannot be any other living creatures mentioned in the story other than plants.
There can be no descriptions of the character's emotions
There can be no dialog

There needs to be some more to it, but conceptually it's pretty freakin' neato. I second the anon who suggested styling it after Gravity's Rainbow.

I could tell that you had that idea -- you write poorly

The idea is garbage -- two survivors, a 19yo heroin addict and a 7 year old?
Why would there be more than one book?
What joys would there be in being groomed into sex slavery?
>quest in the wild
>only survivors of a fire
what equipment do they have? If its the wrong season then they die, it doesnt matter how much knowledge she has, and shes 7, thats not old enough to remember knots, plants, firemaking, fishing, trapping, and orientation.
Why would they breed a woman for sex slavery, then abduct a girl? Why bother having to breed them? Why would anyone give birth in the house?

I only included what the "message" will be so the plot summary isn't taken at face value of "hurr it's wacky humour xD"

I'm not going to so much force it into set pieces but let the narrative itself have the underlying themes and turning points that reflect a society overridden with technology & excess.

As it stands virtual reality (and thus virtual sex, obviously not to the degree of say the matrix but still) is nearly a marketable reality .
Yet 30 years ago proposing such a thing would have been laughable.

It's supposed to be semi-plausible and as a whole the world very much reflects our own. And what is seen as ridiculous by the reader is seen as commonplace by the society within.

And the fatherhood aspects that come into play also touch on how parenting has changed and continues to change in the face of the modern world.

Not going to be some sappy shit about righting wrongs and that kind of crap.

It's not going to be a fairytale but a balanced look on what is actually feasible in our modern world.

Hopefully that explains what I'm going for a little bit better.

The ridiculousness isn't in your face constantly making you think "what an odd story this is."
It's more subtle (hopefully) and hopefully will inject some humor, uniqueness in style, and just a little credibility to realism (as life itself is often times ridiculous).

And if you're still skeptical of the concept perhaps either a) you're not the right kind of audience for it or B) there is no right kind of audience.

I'm trying to write something that I myself would want to read, and to write something that I actually want to write.

Popular fiction is overdone and fame isn't what I'm searching for.

C'est la vie my friend
>>
>>9558660
A) is very likely, though regardless it sounds very tricky to pull off with the right balance even for the right audience, which definitely exists.

How far are you into with world building/general progression and how long do you roughly intend it to be?

A Japanese high school girl found out one of her classmates who was known for being emotionally listless was actually a military-grade prototype cyborg, having an arm that does a literal 'rocket punch'.

She tries to befriend her at first with an ulterior motive to manipulate her into controlling the school as an overcompensation to get back to her bullies and while in it have grandiose delusions of taking over Japan as some kind of an accelerationist technological singularity preacher.

Turns out the 'military grade' rocket punches and other 'high-tech' feats are triggered through intense 'emotional responses' such as anger or something. The Jap high school girl then end up going through this cyborg girl's 'repressed' 'emotions'.

I know it's almost a Terminator 2 knock off and was more of a Japanese light novel (young adult) series but lately I was thinking this could work as a Miike / Sion Sono inspired screenplay

Human beings willingly placed themselves in a gigantic computer simulation that allows them to experience any emotion they want at any time resulting in a chaotic wonderland of emotional stimulation.

Main character is an edgy bug fixer that has to psychologically trick rogue programs into returning to their jobs. Is not as wired into the simulation as hard so he is able to place his concisenesses into robots that also maintenance the outside. Earth is basically a giant dust-bowl and the machine is solar powered.

Its very obvious that there is no guarantee you are talking to a genuine person or a computer program. Its maybe three generations of people Humanity has basically lost all meaning.

Main character has to stop terrorists who can also leave the simulation. Finds clues to their existence, and their plan, in character quirks the computer programs have.

Med-fan world is dying. Plants are rotting, animals are going crazy etc.

The hero is a drug addict who constantly hallucinates while doing his favorite drug. He's an alchemist because only them have the right to own vials of the stuff. His parents are really rich and he lies to them constantly, saying that he's doing some really important research to get money to buy some more drugs.

Since he's supposed to be a great alchemist, his father asks him to investigate this whole world is dying thing. He gets a bodyguard, paid by his family. He has no clue what to do, but he decides to follow some random clues from his hallucination.

In the end it was God who was bored of this world and wanted to commit suicide, luring the hero to kill him (because God can't kill himself).

Well except that I'm not too lazy to write it myself (English is not my first language).

The point is that she's one of those borderline autistic savants, who could go on to become a groundbreaking scientist, a life-saving doctor, a philosopher, another Sherlock Holmes, or some such, but instead dedicates 200% to living a life of luxury and indulgence, unshackled by morality, and never doing a day of honest work.
