Trippy edition. What's some good reality-bending or psychedelic SFF? Dick is the obvious one, of course, but there must be others.

When you guys talk about Rothfuss, are you literally just talking about two books in an unfinished trilogy started in 2007?
This is the guy who has so much hype?

Meh, I can appreciate his work for what it is and enjoy it. His writing certainly isn't perfect, but it certainly isn't bad. I think it's caught a lot of attention because he can tell a fun action/adventure kinda story, not because he's necessarily a good writer by any means.
Someone who works at overlook leak the ebook of The Great Ordeal already.

>I think it's caught a lot of attention because he can tell a fun action/adventure kinda story, not because he's necessarily a good writer by any means.
It caught a lot of attention because it's a basic fantasy adventure wish-fulfillment thing that was able to disguise it's weird self-congratulatory tone as depth for the most part.
As an straight adventure type story it would suck major dick, but Rothfuss crams in just enough made up platitudes, and pretentious highfalutin jerking off of the protagonist to convince readers it has some sort of literary merit.
Are there any good books about mecha?

One thing, as a waggler, that bothers me. Is the lack of disturbance towards the treaty of Versailles in novels. Seriously, it's like nobody considers it. Especially given how little of a choice the germanic people had in having their empire crushed and their unwillingness. It's disheartening fall-of-Constantinople horror shit. It was demeaning, dehumanizing, it fucked up our national identity and perhaps even the world forever. It broke Großgermania in microfractures. It was just, awful through and through.
But I don't like how it isn't explored, a demeaning and dehumanizing slitting of the throat of a century-old legacy is a concept I don't that's ever been handeled well or properly. Maybe it's me, it's a deep seated shame of not defeating the Entente, that men's desires for victory in the past, or just their mindless liberalism in the present, override our own rationality to see that the Allies winning WWI would've made the world a better place, making you feel like you don't see in them what they see in you.
I don't know what I'm saying. I just wish the 2nd reich wasn't constantly written as "Oh yeah WWI was a pretty morally grey conflict but democracy won and so the good guys did XD", and not facing the willy waggling disturbing bullshit dealt with is. Or how we're forced into believing that a world where democracy is so pervasive is more desirable than an alternate world where bloody dictators never rose to power and extinguished the fires of hundreds of millions of souls, and for some people, and for many people, these horrors will become a relic of the past. I just wish we won lads

I want to read some more Lovecraft, but I've read a lot of the more famous ones and they're all very much the same.
My favourite is the Dunwich Horror. I've read Call of Cthulhu, Colour Out of Space, Statement of Randolph Carter, Doom that Came to Sarnath, Cats of Ulthar, Nameless City. I think I also read Mountains of Madness and Shadow Over Innsmouth, though it was ages ago so I'd be happy to reread if there was a recommendation.
Can you recommend a good Lovecraft story that's not the same as every other story?
>>8146995
All of his stories are the same, sorry.

>>8146995
Read Clark Ashton Smith.
Are there any SFF novels where the setting is culturally like modern earth, and technologically like modern earth or at least near future, but takes place on a wholly imagined world? The only example of something like this I can think of is Pokemon.
>>8147112
I'm only reading Lovecraft because I have a huge anthology of his works and I finished my book last night and I'm not getting my next book until tomorrow.
That said, money is also a factor. I hate reading off a screen so I actually have to buy the books.
>>8147116
I get you. All CAS's stuff is online on eldritchdark. I had to print it out before reading.
>>8146252
It doesn't help modern fantasy readers associate length with quality, I wouldn't be surprised if "The Name of the Wind" received literally zero proofing or editing, it certainly didn't receiving any copy-editing, they're entire pages of unnecessary text that are in a completely different style from the rest of the book.
>>8147120
It's 10c a page at Officeworks or 11c a page at uni (18c for doublesided though, so really 9c) so it's really just cheaper to buy the book.

>Something where I can't read the list of characters and divvy them into good guys and bad guys. Something where I don't fear the hero dying, but falling. Something where the villain might be convinced otherwise, instead of being killed. Something where "good" and "evil" are functions of time, knowledge and interest; where you aren't good because you're from this country, or of this blood, or in this company, or fate's own, but because you make good decisions. I'm not that interested in personified good vs. evil, or grimdark evil vs. bastard either.
>Progress isn't evil, nature isn't gentle and good, the golden age isn't in the past, the ancients weren't wiser or stronger than us, the prophecies are not true, there is no guiding hand and the wise old sage has unfortunate blind spots re foreigners; the Dark Lord is defensible, and the young courageous heir of the kingdom set on fighting the Black God is an immature racist martinet.
>Make something new the fantastical element --- say a medieval-ish world with gender equality, or gays, or transsexuals. Take the people that we can assume have always been there, and give them a part. And maybe wings and green skin too.
>Take the old assumptions of fantasy and shake them up. They come from medieval literature, written by religious men who liked songs dedicated to hereditary tyrants, where Good God's partisans were destined to perfectly prevail and the evil hordes and their families would all perish in a fire. Meanwhile, outside the palace there was an undescribed historical cesspit of oppression, disease and ignorance. Don't take the old aesthetics, the old ideals, but think things again; don't write "all orcs are evil brutes" without thinking what that sounds like in the real world, today --- you could say that of plenty of nations and continents decades ago, but now we know that's an awful lie, and easily a very unfortunate fantasy to explore. (Being a race fantasist isn't bad like being a "race realist" is, but if you're careless the distance gets short.)
>Write a medieval democracy, and don't have the monarchist slur that it can't work because commoners are subhuman morons.
>Write lady knights (social justice warriors?), and don't have the muttering of gender muscle averages to muddle your individuals.

Trying to write a robot character.
Is using "we're so advanced we're trying to emulate humanity" a poor excuse for writing a robot like a human? (And therefore, make him a lot easier to write)
Would you believe a hyper-advanced machine intelligence merely wants to imitate its creators, to such a degree it will crack puns, laugh, and get "robot-drunk" off organic oils? Too much?

Most of the people who are into are that progressive shit only believe it because they have been told that it's morally right (right side of history etc). They are usually historically and philosophically illiterate, so they fail to explore the consequences of their "utopia" in any meaningful way, and so you end up with shitty message fiction.
Is there any place I can reliably find definitions for some of the words in The Book of the New Sun. I'm just over 150 pages into the Shadow of the Torturer and there are quite a few words I don't understand and can't find good definitions on with some preliminary searching.
>>8147277
That's because they're made up. Read the afterword, it doesn't spoil anything.
>>8147270
The series is The Demon Cycle and The Painted Man (original title is The Warded Man, no idea why it was changed) is the first of 4 books.
The Warded Man
The Desert Spear
The Daylight War
The Skull Throne
>>8147281
I know it's a series, I was just using the name of the first book for convenience's sake.
Nevertheless, is the series good?
>>8147276
Are they also literacy illiterate? I refuse to believe you can be a fantasy writer and not be well-read.
>>8147287
Not read it yet, it is on my to read list after I get through the ASoFaI books.
>>8147284
They are though, and he literally admits it in the afterword. He takes similar 'real' words and makes new ones that resemble those.
>>8147292
Which is different than making up words in what's meant by it.
He also doesn't even modify a lot of the words at all.
>>8147257
>meme
It's the dinosaur anon, I'm not the dragon shill.
I'm enjoying it so far.
I thought it would be a goodie two shoes book, but it has cussing, people using drugs, threats of rape, innuendos of rape, women talking about their hemorrhoids acting up so they are afraid of getting buggered again, genital mutilation, losing your virginity, suicide. All the good stuff.
GRI APPROVED
>>8147289

>but it has cussing, people using drugs, threats of rape, innuendos of rape, women talking about their hemorrhoids acting up so they are afraid of getting buggered again, genital mutilation, losing your virginity, suicide
Does it have any artistic merit outside of that or is it just another ASoIaF?
>>8147274
He doesn't read, I don't know wtf he is doing in the General in the first place.
>>8147305
I mean you can get everything from the context.
>>8147310
That's true. I feel I'm not getting the whole picture though.
>>8147301
Why does Rothfuss rate everything 1 or 5 stars?
>>8147315
That's not because of a couple of words.
>>8147315
It's meant to be illusive, but it comes together later on.
>>8147304
not him but,
>Does it have any artistic merit outside of that
Yes
>is it just another ASoIaF
No.
Not even close. It may be called "Iron dragons daughter" but it is not in any way standard fantasy or anything you would imagine under that name.
>>8147316
I don't remember. I only remember being amazed at the absolute lack of any classics.
>>8147304
It's there for a purpose, I'm just condensing.

Any books similar to Berserk?
Any Sci-Fi that deals with the undead? Zombies, ghosts, vampires, etc. I'd prefer something that straddles the line between the scientific and the spiritual.
>>8147380
Similar to Berserk in what way? Protagonist similar to Guts, similar tone/atmosphere, similar attitude towards magic and the occult?
>>8147263

None of these are sci-fi, they're literally fantasy
>>8147449
Not that anon, but I think zombies teeter on the line between the two. 2bh I would argue that the fantasy analogue for zombie is "undead". It's more about semantics than anything else but still.
>>8147414
Colin Wilson, who wrote the famous philosophical treatise The Outsider about the role of the outsider in literature , also wrote The Space Vampires, about energy eating space beings
>>8147456
Yeah no on second thoughts you're right.
>>8147428
>>8147449
I'd call Dead Space Sci-Fi and it deals with Undead-like things in a way that straddles the scientific and the spiritual. That's the sort of thing I'm talking about.
>>8147325
Well people never talked about it before I started reading. It was just the shill telling everyone to read without explaining why. I asked if it was GRI APPROVED and he said yeah.
Maybe you're mixing up books.
>>8147466
Frankenstein's monster is either a ghost, zombie or vampire as much as the Holy Roman Empire is any of its ostensible characteristics.
>>8147472
I'd still call him undead.
>>8147472
You think that simile is clever but it's just tired as hell since 1757.
And why wouldn't Frankenstein be a zombie? The "science" that brings him to life is quasi-magical.
>>8147477
The method of his creation was detailed in a quasi-scientific manner so it's Sci-Fi, soft as it may be.
>>8147478
>is quasi-magical.
You can apply this to a ton of acclaimed sci-fi classics, the Foundation coming to mind. The book tries to root its premise in theoretical science so it's Sci-Fi.
>>8147480
So Sci-Fi then.
>>8147475
Their totally is though. A weird future cult plays a major role in the story. I know it's bullshit, but characters are believers, right?
>>8147423
Is Georgie boy black? Look at his nose shape.
>>8147470
I've no idea why you responded to me or what your point is. I said to finish the book before saying "would recommend" since it can turn to shit towards the ending.

>>8147493
There*
>>8147483
This looks cool.
>>8147429
Why? What's your reasoning behind this?
I already have Way of Kings. If other readers are anything like me, after I read a series and enjoyed it immensely, I look up the author's other works.
If people read the blurb and like it, read the book and like it, they will look for his other works.(unless they are lazy entitled faggets who like to be spoonfed)
>>8147513
You could've just said Mistborn is shit.
>>8147513
Because it's a list of shit books and Mistborn is shit.
>>8147497
You said "people say it turns shit close to the ending half", how the fuck is that if people don't discuss the fucking book?
>what is reading comprehension
>>8147510
Your criteria is way more strict than mine, then. The way I see it is if there are religious or spiritual characters who interpret scientific things as magical or miraculous because of their worldview, then that is a spiritual element to the story.
>>8147523
Why are you even here?

I've read lots of fantasy, and definitely most of the /lit/ suggestions. I really like the Joe Abercrombie stuff, and Sanderson's recent books have been great. What is trending currently? I need some legit suggestions. I currently live in Japan and don't have many English bookstores close; I'll have to order online, but have no idea what to get!

all I remember is the twist at the end is something like, the protag and the other characters were artificially created mini people living in a world created by scientists who were observing them
>>8147825
Well it's clear from the autism devoted to superficial plot elements and there are almost no titles of quality to lend credibility to it so...
>>8147815
Female power fantasy is popular. I don't recall reading any cutesy female protags, that sounds like something a man would write. I'll keep an eye out though.
..and just double checking, you did get that only the first category is specifically woman focused?

>>8147820
>>8147825
It's not intended as a meme. It isn't a "I recommend the priceless gems" list. As >>8147832 anon says, I merely grouped some books together based on some superficial similarity. Some are great, some are mediocre, and two or three are terrible. I intended it as a fun "who knows what you're going to get" contrast to all the other lists. We get people asking for recommendations based on silly things all the time, so I made this. It certainly could be better. Once I finish Malazan I'll have more time to read stupid books.
>>8147858
The category I made includes only female writers.
>>8147553
Read the comic book Orc Stain.
>>8147858
Oh, you meant the author in your picture. She's Japanese though.
Would it be wrong of me to write two stories set in the same universe, one after the other? As in, I write on now, then write the other in a month or two. Then I simply mash the two stories together, with it going chapter A-B-A-B etc
Does this method work? not really /sff/ I know but I'm writing a /sff/ book so hopefully they'll be some input.
I Promise I'm not the anon from last night asking about exposition.
>>8147969
It could work, if you know how to pull it off; Two Towers and the first half of Return of the King were written like that, after all.
>>8147905
If you think "laughing at you for being pathetic" is liberalism and feminism you have another thing coming for thinking that people in the east are any different, or better. lmfao

Do you want me to meme you again pregnancy anonette?

What am I projecting lmfao

>Best way to get cucked to hell and back. Nah, I'll just keep fucking them until I find one that sticks.
Experience teaches otherwise. If you are fucking around you won't find a decent wife, you'll marry someone as crooked as yourself.
>>8148133
I'm also reading Return to the Whorl, I'm still trying to pinpoint what he's talking about if he has a central theme at all.
>>8148144
That you'll marry someone just for sex (or pregnancy in your case)
>>8148152
I'll probably marry my girlfriend. But it's mostly because I'm in love with her actually.
If anyone is willing to download these mammoths feel free to do so, I'm attempting it but I went over to /t/ and someone compiled science fiction books from every decade, the best apparently. Feel free to see what you like!

Hey there, I’m putting out the call for writers of all skill levels to submit their work to our budding very short fiction magazine: The Bard Quarterly. As the name might express, we’re going to be publishing four times a year, beginning with issue #000 on September 1st, and continuing for as long as there’s interest. You can access our cheap-ass free website via our fb page:
fb.com/thebardquarterly/
or just follow the links in the image.
The dot-points:
>we want very short fiction (~750 words)
>we pay
>we give feedback even if we say no
>it'll be in free pdf format
I'll check the thread again in ~24 hours to answer any questions, but it's all on the website.
>>8148133
Is pregnancy anonette cute?
>>8148206
>The Bard Quarterly
Isn't that name already taken?
>>8148206
Sweet, I might write something just for the feedback.
>>8148210
I'm not posting my face eve so I guess not.
>>8148206
Sign me the fuck up senpai
>>8148206
Cool! I'd dust off some the better stuff I've written.
Has the guy who has written Worm given any updates on the edited version ETA yet?

>>8148265
Hey, that's fair. For all you know I could be a double chinned tranny.
But it'd be better than being the being that reads the genre shit in these threads that you pass off as readable literature.
It could always be worse.
>>8148319
Those aren't bad choices. If you ever see someone talking about Dune or Herbert it's probably me. It's one of my favorite works. But for every good example there's equal number terrible.
>>8148306
One thing, as a narcissist, that bothers me. Is the lack of disturbance towards my haters in /sffg/. Seriously, it's like nobody considers them. Especially given how little of a choice they had in being such insufferable worms and their parent's unwillingness to go on with the pregnancy. It's terrible horror shit. They're demeaned, inhuman, fucked up creatures. They break my ego in microfracutres. It's just, awful through and through with no positive elements.
But I don't like how they aren't explored, demented and subhuman trash I have no choice but to be forced to interact with is a concept I don't that's ever been handeled well or properly. Maybe it's me, it's a deep seated fear of not being understood, that men's blissful ignorance of my qualities, or just their mindless "memeing" in the present, override my own autonomy and emotions towards myself, making me feel like I don't see in myself the perfect human being that I am anymore.
I don't know what I'm saying. I just wish you maggots would stop constantly posting "Le epic pregnancy copypasta!", and not facing the grimey slimey disturbing bullshit you are. Or how I'm forced to deign myself by those believing its acceptable to have my stupid ideas criticised, and for some people, and for many people, this appears to be the case. This was even more prevalent because of those fucking dinosaurs lmao.
>>8148328
How am I a narcissist lol
>>8148328
When I read narcissist I thought Marc was posting this, but his posts make sense, I have no idea what the fuck I'm supposed to be reading here.
>>8148328
Also, on my phone, when I get back home I won't have internet, someone please save this, it's a top tier pasta. It'll be our second one.
Someone also repost the first one so people can save it.
>>8148337
what?
>>8148328
>This was even more prevalent because of those fucking dinosaurs lmao.
>>8148345
Can't you tell a good pasta when you see one?
>>8148350
Pasta is a good synonym of spam
>>8148351
It isn't.
This pasta has the navy seal potential, local to these threads maybe, but still top tier.
>>8148356
It's always possible for you to go back to the cripple's shit site.

What even is r/fantasy. Is it everyone you disagree with? There's a lot more to the source of it than you can blame on reddit, or tumblr, or whatever out you can find in the future. People just have different interpretations of reality. It all depends on how destructive it is.

anyone has any recommendations regarding HFY?
specifically im looking for space fantasies but maybe not directly really big space operas of epics.
something about advanced civilisations making contact with humans or interplanetary wars preferably with not so humanoid aliens like bugs or reptiles.
