I want to write a novel that will be heralded as the modern/future day Game of Thrones.
Face it, /lit/, no matter how much you hate the fat ass because of his weak prose, the plot alone is something that will forever push us writers to not write plain and obvious boring stuff.
I'm currently thinking of themes I want to include. This is what I have so far:
>Machiavellian Politics
>Dystopianism
>Metaphysics
>Aliens
>Alternative history conspiracies
>Morality
>Space colonization
>Consciousness
>Secret Societies
>Mind control
>Jews
Those are some at the top my head. What else can I include to make it crazier?

Trump 2016
who do you mean by us writers? people with shelves full of stephen king and rehashed fantasy and scifi books.

This would be a part of alternative history since he won't win.
There have been various information agents that have posted on /pol/ warning us so. I'm not one to blindly believe some anon poster on 4chan claiming to have knowledge but their predictions do seem to fall inline with the current geopolitical climate.

I mean ever since I read/watched his stuff, most other shows and fantasy books are boring and pale by comparison just in the lack of character depth alone.

Retarded idea, just take a greek tragedy, change the setting and write dat P R O S E

I can tell you're not a good author already, so even if you did write this book it'd be overstuffed and shallow with your said themes alone, let alone whatever you want to make it 'crazier'.
I know a lot of bitter writers who think they're better than everyone else get off on telling other writers their ideas or shit on /lit/ but I didn't ask if this was a good idea or not.

90% of that shit is stupid already.
Politics, dystopianism, aliens, morality, colonization and secret societies are good enough already.

Focus on plot and character development. Buttfuck retarded lists of words like consciousness and aliens aren't going to get you anywhere except maybe 15 pages in a word document

>Jews
I think you might have something here...
>>8264128
think of themes all you want but unless you have the talent you're just going to make a work of shit. u post on /pol/ tho so i doubt you have any discernible talent

>fantasy books are boring
Maybe you are ready for the big boy books.
Sounds like Dune.
