>alien lands in the old west
>recruits gunslinger to carry out its deeds
>three cowboys get roped into trying to kill both or at least save as many innocent lives as possible until the army arrives from the east

the story is from the point of view of the cowardly middle cowboy who lacks the bravery of the elder cowboy and the recklessness of the younger and wants to run but feels compelled to stay

i don't know if it should be a novel or a screenplay. probably the latter but i feel like a lot of the protagonist's insight will be lost.

Hopefully it won't seem so obviously didactic as that. But I think it's a story worth telling. It's something I've experienced in my life. And I'm not sure I've seen much of it in literature. It hit me after reading the Karamazov brothers, and I think my main character will be similar to dimity, impetuous, misguided, etc.

I was born and raised in Russia. If an American tried to write something like this, it would look like Metal Gear Solid at best in terms of not being fucking incomprehensible gibberish.
Writing for a Russian audience has advantages: those here that can read have few illusions about how the world actually works, you don't have to put on a show by pretending there is "good" or "evil", or any kind of a moral high ground for anyone. Also, no qualms about overt sexuality, atheism or violence.

Anyone who is so creatively sterile as to try and steal other people's plots will never write anything of note; even if he gets half a complete rough draft, he will inevitably turn it into unreadable dysentery through his own incompetence.

It is an absurd grotesque tragic comedy novel screenscript named Faggot where character actively seeks means to dehumanize himself and ascend nature via writing an magna opus of high literature but ends up writing the very famous fantasy fiction. In the end he forgives himself and tries to forgot his past.
