Aspiring authors thread

I don't know man. Even though I do like writing (haven't done it properly in years though) this doesn't feel very /tg/ related. At least the novel portion. That seems like it should be on /lit/. I understand the place is a shit hole, but still.

lit rejects genre fiction of any kind and author threads have been part of /tg/ for years.

Traditional gaming and fantasy trilogies go together like DnD and 5 sweaty nerds with way too many free weekends.

Mixed feelings but I am told that this is a grand 'ol /tg/ tradition.

That said, OP made a very wise decision in posting at 5:48 EST. That means that simply by being awake, I am the smartest person in this thread.

Didn't notice the Smut thread was gone...
Ahh well. Hope this goes well for you OP.

Yeah it took me by surprise too, there were quite a few anons showing up every weekend to fill up 2-3 threads with ease.

>hope it goes well
It should, /tg/ definitely has an active writer base just looking for that precious feed back. At worst it'll be a place to read mediocre love can bloom short stories.

Anyway, here's a really rough thing I started based on a prompt. I'm terrible at writing teens, so I could use some help in the department.

And yes, the main character should be a creep. The story takes a horror bent before long.

It's a good start, haven't really been given enough to reviews your characters dialogue but the "creep" part didn't entirely come through.

Best butt seems a bit strange for a teenager to notice, I would go with pointing out something he liked about it. That also comes off as slightly creepier, especially since the kind of story you want to write will need campier teens than the kind you would see in the standard tv show.

I did how ever really want to continue reading, can't wait to see how it comes together.

>picking a part of the butt for him to fixate on

That's actually... very good advice.

I'll keep at it. I have other stuff worth posting but it's all under different names on the net.

If these threads don't manage to stick please start one for your work when it's done so I can check it out.

I've already got a blog and I'm not yet vain enough to center a thread around myself.

You'll probably see my handiwork again somewhere on /tg/.
