Screw literature, I wanna write some best seller genre fiction. I'm sick of being a penniless bum 10 years after graduating. Help me out /lit/, what are some novel ideas that will draw in the plebs?
housewife porn
rich powerful attractive man falls in love with some mediocrity of a woman and makes her safe, adored, wet and loved
and maybe spanks her ass like daddy used to from time to time

Pseudo rape literature masquerading under some vague notion of a story aimed at the 14-70 year old female market in which the reader can easily self-insert themselves into the story.
I wish I wasn't trolling.
It will sell

Write like you are writing a video game, like Sanderson.
Have complex artificial systems that don't enhance anything thematically, but are 'cool'.
Gay rights and them being oppressed is also the way to go. All the rest of liberal dogmas are welcome too.
Power fantasy, so having an amazing at everything bland katana wielding protagonist with a dark past.
References to pleb shit people like.
Avoid complex prose, but make it forcefully flowery.
Make teenage girls feel like they are far more special than they actually are.
Aphorisms like John Green or Nietzsche.
plebian is all about the material world projected onto fantasies

like star wars 7:
nazi-isis-space-ungry man child as villains
VS
multicultural republican resistance as heroes
remember to push hard the naz part, cause nazies are the only remained villains that can't generate the "sympathetic feel" into the audience
Mystery fiction is the way to go. Here, I'll give you a freebie
>Ex child actress gone wild dies in mysterious circumstances
>Official investigation concludes it was a suicide
>Unconvinced sibling hires PI to investigate
>PI is dealing with some traumatic past event that he must face and overcome at some point
>PI discovers the existence of a Hollywood pedophile ring which abuses young child actors
>PI becomes targeted by Hollywood big wigs
>Must overcome corrupt system to bring culprits to justice
I seriously think people would eat up a pedophiles-in-Hollywood type story. A documentary come out awhile back that implied there was a pedo ring in hollywood. It's on peoples minds, and the concept is intriguingly sinister.

So basically a book about Miley Cyrus? You should've thrown in the bit about a body double.

A long string of 80s references. Don't even make a plot; Just list stuff you remember from the 80s. Then at the end have the most stereotypical fedora say the most fedora things.
How do big sellers become big sellers anyways?
How many dicks do you need to suck ?
>people on /lit/ look down on bestseller
>people on /lit/ think they can write a best seller but just have too much "integrity"
>people on /lit/ don't realize bestselling authors are smarter than they could possibly imagine

So 50 shades of grey is an old trend? Glad to know, it's finally dying.
>>7649009
Yeah, but it's so stupid and dull that noone will recognise if it's used.
>>7648771
Better yet, make it 1770's references. Crazy fellow, that ol' Benny Frank!
Marxist Sci-fi, college liberals eat that shit up.

Mieville is running out of work to rip off, soon he'll have to write original shit and that's where he fails.
He ain't got shit cornered.
>>7649112
curious can you list his works and tell me what he ripped off? i only read one (embassytown) and it seemed original enough to me, at least by pop lit-sci fi standards.

It's pretty funny how so many anons seem to think they could easily make millions writing bestsellers if it wasn't for their artistic integrity.
the fault in our twilight
It's a dystopian novel with a girl with cancer who falls in love with a vampire werewolf who is a millionare and dominates her
Write about gay wizards in America, but with a twist: the protag is a black woman.
>>7648560
sorry but i seriously doubt you can write something you hate and have it turn out good enough to be publishable. you probably won't even bother to finish it.
>>7648560
>what are some novel ideas that will draw in the plebs?
