Here's the excerpt from my erotic satirization of famous novels.

>A creaming comes across her eye. It has happened before, but never so stately, or so plump. Sitting in her room, she gave me head, even though I already came - all over her body. On second nut, came the running of the bulls. A wave of my period-colored handkerchief was the signal. She was mounted on all sides, and I sunk to the back of the room, standing cock in hand. The virile man I was, I was hard again, tingling my prostate as I stroked to the midnight rhythm of bestial thrusts.

This fat autist NEET wrote a novella, which is more than you shitlords will ever write. Enjoy a few extracts.

>

“Yes and here comes Anita Sarkesian, Zoe Quinn and Emma Watson carrying uzis as Hilary Clinton rides up in a tank and a couple of keyboard warriors shout impotent rape threats,”

>

"Cassie nodded “Smart guy, more than just a cock and balls I see. Well you probably know I’m hot at artificial intelligence and computer science already but I like to read outside my field. I’m very into sword and sorcery, mythology, psychology, philosophy. What do you know of quantum mechanics?”

Jeff’s jaw dropped and he stared."

The Bam-Kursh stepped out from behind a red British post box. “Hello there, Charlie.”

Charlotte glared at her. “What do you want?”

“To give you a job.” said the Bam-Kursh. “You took out the SLF hunting the Farsh-nuke, without killing them. You summoned the Farsh-nuke. You created Cassie the Cattle Girl for me. You created friendly generalised artificial intelligence. You are a genius and you’re ruthless and you are useful.”

Charlotte laughed. “Why the fuck would I ever do anything to help you!?”

“Because unlike the Farsh-nuke I’ll let you embrace your darkness and since he isn’t here anymore I think maybe you can put this to some use.” said the Bam-Kursh removing a copy of Cassie from her pocket. The young woman had a blindfold obver her eyes and wore nothing but a carefully tied bow.

Charlotte removed the blindold and Cassie’s eyes looked into hers imprinting on her.

“No rights, no regulations, no paperwork.” said the Bam-Kursh “And just this once, as it is you and your most treasured of students, no fucks given if you rape her. Have fun. I’ll be in touch.”

The Bam-Kursh was gone by the time Charlotte’s Cassie realised hjust what exactly this meant.

Charlotte giggled as she watched her muse squirm. “I win.”

There once was a guy who told killer jokes but people didn't get the jokes and thought he was a REAL killer not just telling killer jokes and so when they found out and attacked him he said to them angrily "hey go away this is just a small part of my life that I have moved on from and you're acting like it's this big epic thing and it's literally just not ok you drama queens?" but it really took quite a few goes to tell them this because people are very petty and mean spirited and once they have a target for their insecure hostility it is very difficult to get then to back off even when presented with really good evidence that their own justifications for their own behaviour are not based in reality or in truth they will just keep attacking and using delusional coping mechanisms to believe it is the right thing to do.

In the year 2104, seventy years after famed physicist Shigeru Suzuki formulated his elegant theory proving the hard deterministic nature of the universe, Todd Melby was born, bringing into question, at least in my mind, the hitherto universally accepted theory. It's not that Todd had any inexplicable physical properties. Quite to the contrary, everything about his appearance suggested that he was a most unremarkable man -- that is... until you saw him dance. Oh, the grace with which he moved his body, those grand gliding steps across the dance floor, the perfect control over his limbs, his constant air of dignity as he danced -- I can see it now! A deterministic worldview cannot sufficiently explain such majesty. The only explanation is magic, but somehow even that seems to fall short. To see Todd dance was to get a glimpse into heaven.

Trivial conversations overpowered my keen sense of hearing, as I attempted to navigate around the crowds of sheeple on the street around me, celebrating yet another vain holiday.

I actually think a lot of these are pretty good. Several times in this thread I found myself saying "I'd continue reading" because I was intrigued. I think it's interesting, because trying to write horribly often seems to produce more compelling results than trying to write well. I think it's because when you try to write badly, you're often hitting on something that strikes a nerve or elicits an emotion, which "good" or standard writing often fails to do.

James sprang up from his bed with a jolt. He had just realised it was finally the right time to get even with the people who have harassed him ceaselessly for the past year. He loaded his shotgun, smiled to the mirror and said; 'it's about time someone took out the trash'. He put his trench coat on slowly and left the building in a sunny mood. Today those 'popular' kids were going to learn what happens when someone with some actual balls becomes as intrusive and ill mannered as them, but this will be no mere slander, gossip or lies. Today James am become death, destroyer of worlds. Was it worth all the false accusations of unrequited affection or hostility? Was it worth seeing your best friends brains blow out of his skull, so you could pretend you were superior to a stranger? This is what happens when you try to turn life into a big epic fantasy. You could've been a decent guy who got along with all types, but instead you wanted cliques, gangs, narratives and delusions pertaining to the existence of a more complex and intelligible society than reality is capable of supporting. I guess some people just have to learn these things the hard way. You'll probably know to keep your hands to yourself from now on though right? Next time you wanna say some shit like 'Johnny is a freak', or 'Sally totally sucks', you might think first and say something accurate like stating their hair colour or height. No more soap opera bullshit. No more stories and no more characters. It's time to bring back the state of nature. It's time for some natural selection.

>I actually think a lot of these are pretty good.
Whenever these threads appear they're always filled with people posting "good" writing looking for validation because expectations are lower and because their excerpts are going to be compared with the actually shitty stuff that's the point of the thread and look good by comparison.

"Moti- MORTIMER!"

Hey! You! Yes, you, my dear reader. Do I have your full attention? I do? Good, I wouldn't want your mind to wander -- not when I have such an important tale to tell. Now read on, but be careful. Hidden throughout this book are booby traps and words leading nowhere. Be sure to follow the main story arc. Along the way, on the outskirts of the main story, you'll run into jesters and, worse, dog-people. They only want to lead you astray. They'll try to convince you that I'm the corrupt one, that I want to entrap and confuse you. But you shouldn't have to worry about them too much. I trust you'll be able to distinguish my voice from theirs. Okay, now let's begin our journey together. First scratch your nose. You scratched it, I hope. Only by following my directions will the proper story unfold. If you don't scratch your nose, the story you're about to read will be very different. And, trust me, you won't want to read it.

I awoke from an unpleasant sleep in the late hours of the afternoon, looked out the window at the colorless suburban scenery, winced at what I saw, and opened my laptop, whereupon I refreshed the first page of 4chan's literature board. After browsing page one for roughly a minute, shaking my head at some posts and raising my left eyebrow (I'm unable to raise my right) at a few others, I came across one of my favorite types of threads, a "write a terrible opening to a novel" thread, where I wrote what is perhaps the worst opening to an imaginary novel that's ever been written... or so I assume, because dozens people on /lit/ replied. But perhaps they liked it. Whatever the case, it sure got a lot of attention. And in case you haven't already guessed, the post you're currently reading is the opening of the imaginary novel to which I just referred.

A tiredness whispered across my shoulders as I referenced another book for no reason I could discern, my thoughts gone again to that hexadic library in Argentina I think and how this poor offering would be there whether I published or not, and I wondered how many times all these words had been repeated across the infinite cosmos just as I wondered who else gazed out as I did at that ghastly sea, and I made some tea and put a cube of sugar in it, and felt like I was moored in a little boat at the mouth of the Styx.

As the pendulum bobbed back and forth in the fish tank, Mr. Simons squeezed the blackhead on his nose and took a drink from his sippy cup; it wouldn't be long before he needed to rub his feet down and whittle the corns on the pinky toes, this was what he always loved to do on Friday nights, sleepy laughing like a funny little laugher man.

Krantz always knew he would kill the man who had stalked him. Even though he still went to school and kept up appearances, he knew it would be his destiny to end the life of his obsessed tormentor. In the months leading up to that day, he had seemed to have become more calm and collected. He was more pleasant to be around and was less opinionated. Everyone assumed that this meant he had come to accept the unfair nature of the world we live in, and that he had let go of the aspects of his life that he couldn't control. In reality his aloof behaviour was simply a symptom of his one eyed focus. His heart was no longer stirred by trivial interactions or other petty events. He had his mind on greatness, all of the time. Krantz had become godlike.

Eyes open, thoughts flooding-I see not the ceiling which for years has been over my head every morning with its unrecognizable patterns of crumbling stucco, but I feel the weight of my body, the familiar pains of my injuries, and the regrets that I still hold onto of mistakes made, although they were made years ago, they have still significantly formed the pathways of my life which now lead to branches of failure, but not before drudging through bleakness, and depression, over-indulgence and self-destruction, and already I want to die.

"Yo, Taxi!" Yeller yelled.

As the two duffel bags hit the ground, two servants ran to pick them up. A taxi accorded itself adjacent with the douche bag, its door swung open.

Two 20 dollar bills floated from Yeller's nipple-pocket to each of his servants, each laughing at their own thoughts of the orgies to be had at the cost of those bills. The thoughts played repeatedly and Yeller was out of sight before their dumb gaping mouths quit their gaping.

The car was blocks away, and Yeller had just finished his instructions when the driver cut him off.

"Look, man, I dunno what kinda soft-handed ass-wiping you're used to, but this cab don't carry that Charmin shit"

Yeller wasn't used to being cut off.

Looking at Cassidy's body from behind the police tape Skyler didn't know, but could somehow 'feel' the truth: that she haven't been at the club working, that she would never lower herself like that, that whoever did this to h--"sir--" the stern tone of a police officer pushing him away from his love derailed his maglev train of thought-- "I need you to step away from the crime scene" --in shock still, he made a mental note of the police officers face, somehow knowing then, that nobody would be spared his wrath.
