It's about an aging author who quits writing to spend more time with his family. He discovers that his family is actually far more interesting than he thought and he gets to know all of them a lot better. But then he gets the anxious feeling that he has to document these experiences by writing about them or they'll slip away. "Just live," his wife tells him, but eventually he cracks and he writes the book you're holding in your hands right now it's called Song of Eternity.
It begins with the big bang and follows a single hydrogen molecule for six 1,000 page volumes. It's called Song o

You'd think, right?
Two men in a WW1 hospital. The one next to the window (1) starts telling the second (2) who has been blinded by gas about everything he can see outside. All of the trees and birds, young couples etc (2) becomes insane with jealousy and wants to see for himself. (1) has a heart attack and begs (2) to ring for the nurse, (2) allows him to die.
The doctor takes off (2)'s bandages,"you'll have to stay with us for a few weeks longer but is there anything we can do for you (2)? I know he was your friend"
"I want to be moved to (1)'s bed please!", finally as he is wheeled over to (1)'s bed he sees nothing but a blank wall.
I think it's tragic but also hilarious. It was a story my dad used to tell and idk if it has already been written.

fug. I'm only 2/3 through the meme trilogy as well that was the last one.
A young teenager sleepwalks into a career as a child actor thanks to the influence of his artsy parents, landing a starring role in the next big YA movie franchise. His character is gay and success turns him into a reluctant LGBT icon. He struggles with the responsibilities and expectations that come with being hailed as a role model. As he grows up in the public eye, he is put under pressure by producers, his parents, publicists, etc to maintain an ambiguous public persona and stay closeted about his heterosexuality.
Ideally I'd like to go all out and try to say something interesting about identity and perception but I'll probably half-ass it and write it as a relatively light-hearted satire.

It is the near future, science has invented time travel to destroy religion, which it perceives is a lingering blight on the world against reason. They are really using the F.E.D.O.R.A system, which is a new form of virtual reality unbeknownst to the public alongside aerosolized drugs to sell people on falsified trips into the past, showing off key events like the crucifixion of Christ just without anything supernatural occurring and juxtaposing these against dinosaurs and shit to further undermine religious history. They are widely successful and religion is all but eliminated from the world. 1 person takes one of these tours into the past and notices a graphical glitch, realizes what is going on, is deemed an insane pariah.

The former alpha dog swears revenge and he starts to organize a coup, which our hero dog discovers too late and is attacked and left for dead in the woods. Some homeless people who live in the woods take care of him for a while and feed him while he gets his strength back, determined to return to the police headquarters and regain his position as top dog.

They spend a year together, in love, but one night he returns to the woods from a day out scouring the neighborhood for food and discovers his lover having sex with another dog.

The dog flees out of an open window but not before he catches a bullet in the leg. He hobbles his way to a vet, but it's too late. They decide the best thing to do is just to put him down. As the anesthesia takes hold of his body, he sees God. God sticks out his finger and touches Adam's paw.

Starts out in a post-apocalyptic world for the first two chapter, until the third chapter when the main character wakes up in his house with a surreal feeling. He gets involved in something he's not supposed because he talk to some random chick who to him seemed pretty crazy. Then somewhere in the middle of the novel, it goes back to the post-apocalyptic world where he can barely remember anything. Only to be woken up again and dismiss it as some kind of nightmare. He protects the chick, but gets heavily wounded and wake up in the hospital and talks to the girl. In the end of the chapter it goes back to the post-apocalyptic world where the character finds a colorful picture in an otherwise grey world, with himself and a group of people.

I wrote it in high school as a part of longer series of stories about sexuality in Middle East in various parts of history. My favourite part was about Palestinian boy who became suicide bomber because his Jewish lover left him for a girl and joined the army. The boy had a voice of Allah in his head who told him to write new Koran chapter on homosexual love. It was funny to imitate a holy book style writing about butt sex.

I think I've seen you mention this in threads before. Awful lot of talking you're doing instead of writing. Where's the rest of the story? It sounds like you only have a clear idea of the beginning. By that question I mean: how far have you gotten? It was not a request to post the rest of the plot.

Young squire tries to honor his family by killing tyrant of nearby town, finds help in an old hermit. Turns out hermit and tyrant were once Patroclus/Achilles bros, but they fought over a shared love, and when she choose the hermit, they went their own ways. Love ended up dying by robbers and when the hermit failed to save her, the tyrant decides that he will take it upon his self and protect the people he cares about, but over time his mind has degenerated and his rule has become more and more brutal.

Dumb. It's cliched. Nice name though.
Fantasy comedy set in the dark ages, full of explanations of fantastical archetypes attributed to non-fictional reasons in a narrative written as a historical document. The whole thing is narrated by an arsehole armchair historian convinced that everyone wants to hear his life story - so he reflects upon events in the narrative with past experiences of humiliation and arrogance. Looking like it might get published actually, but there's a long way to go yet. The blurb starts with:
"The decline of the western Roman Empire is attributed to two things - the relative absence of historical source material in the aftermath, and the progressive demonisation of buggery. Set in a time during which Spain wasn't Spain, Portugal was only half Portugal, and the spread of Christianity owed it's success to the increasing popularity of the 18-30 holiday..."

A future setting where when you're about to die you get sent into space. As you "drift" past the moon a set of massive analog televisions replay significant events from each year of your life. The story revolves around a girl named Echo, who know body particularly remembers, as she begins her drift. She is a solemn normal human that you can relate to. Happy at moments, sad at others. She goes through ups and downs throughout her life "stories" with much philosophical and retrospective wisdom as she views upon them. She wants to relive some moments and would love to alter or otherwise forget others. Towards the end she comes to a realization that all the goods and bads are in and of itself who she is and wouldn't change a thing in her life. They're to essential to her essence and being. She is happy that she was never known to many and overall accepts death as a welcoming conclusion to living knowing that she is exhausted.
Have had some re writes and huge changes to the original idea.
Was originally from the perspective of the televisions.
>that was over in less then 2 weeks of writing
Have been thinking about changing her name to some more human. (Maybe Rachael). Echo is a very ham fisted name for the story.
About 70 pages in. I would pay somebody to murder me so I can stop. I feel like I'm to deep in the whole.

An american and a british guy become friends while fighting in ww2, the first is what you could call a Clark Kent type, coming from nowhere, Kansas, the other is a mysterious type that seems very intellectual. The story is about their friendship and how the american discovers the british guy to be Gilgamesh, a five thousand year old sumerian demigod. Gilgamesh is in his own mission trying to recover a powerful artifact the Nazi have stolen from a cave, which, if activated, could bring civilization down. It's set in a very innocent, funny mood, with quips like a Marvel movie. It's essentially about male friendship.

Care to elaborate? Already wrote down like 50 pages of this shit. it's less broad satire and more like watching a metaphysical B-movie VHS on DXM and cheap Mexican weed, that's the feel I'm going for. the takeaway is that humanity is basically doomed and everyone has different ways to deal with it.
