A virgin who befriends the dirtiest, seediest, sluttiest whore you could ever imagine. They both enjoy horse riding, and visiting town shops. I'm more interested in the dynamics through the relationship rather than the plot.
A short story compilation with a central theme of urban, millenial life. It's a mix of social critiques, feel good stories with lessons to be learned, and sad feelfests
And at that moment, I realized the world was ripe with potential... Nothing escaped me, for I was calm finally. I rubbed my temples. I was tired, again, as I always was, but I took nothing for granted. That would be careless. I stood atop my two feet and pulled my body forward. I was proud, and shaken. I was still breathing too quickly, and I had to sit back down immediately. I couldn't take it anymore; I was gripping my own arms, cradling myself, rocking back and forth as if I was a lone person, the only person, and I clutched myself as hard I could. Squeezed myself tight, until I was out of breath. And then I laid to my side, exhausted. I was green in the face. I could feel myself turning green.
I looked in the mirror and I saw green. My entire composure was beat; I was hunched over, glass-eyed, and long-gone. I was a goner. I was so green. I looked at myself real good, and I couldn't really stop. Every fixture of my face was falling off, I could barely see myself anymore. It was a real horror. But I had a good time, looking at all that nonsense. It was.
Took a while, but I gave myself a good look again in the mirror. And I fell right in, right down to the bottom. Took a good five minutes to get my sense, but I fell straight down into my bed. Landed head-first, fell over backwards, and let my feet fall off the side of the bed while my head rested on the bedpost. It was a small bed. But I laid there, my head in the mattress for a good ten minutes. I didn't want to really move, nor did I need to really. The fall was so long, I thought I was dead. But unluckily, I was in the same place as I started.

The LOTR of our time, albeit a combination of Sci-Fi and Fantasy.
Yes, I'm a retard; but I've written 19k words so far and it's too far gone to give up. I've come up with enough material to get me hitting 100k words at least.
Nothing to lose and everything to gain, frankly. I have a shitty call centre job, so who knows; this is just one way I'm hedging my bets.
The main reason I started writing was because so much 'good' Fantasy (and successful books in general) are so fucking shit in general that I'd felt like a hypocrite for a long time; on account of trashing them whilst bringing nothing to the table myself. I'm writing the sort of book I'd love to read; if I'm alone in that, then fine. I'd rather not go with the flow when I think it's terrible.
My prose is pretty elaborate/eloquent; I've been playing around with an idea for something more modern, prose-wise. Something to do with the 80s; have had a lot of nostalgia for it, lately.
I don't really post my stuff on /lit/ because everyone's a critic and my work always gets trashed. At least I'm honest about it.

A few tweaks/queries I'd make:
1) For I was finally calm.
2) "I was tired, again, as I always was" - Can you be tired again if you're 'always' tired?
3) "I stood atop my two feet" - You stood on your own feet? Plus it's kind of implied that if you're standing, it's on your feet; unless this character tends to walk on their hands.
4) "pulled my body forward" - I don't think people really think of their legs/feet as 'pushing' or 'pulling' their bodie. "Moved forward" would probably suffice.
5) "rocking back and forth as if I was a lone person" - I don't think 'lone'/solitary people are known for that. Disturbed/frightened, maybe.
6) "I clutched myself as hard I could. Squeezed myself tight, until I was out of breath." - Both sentences saying the same sort of thing. You could probably mesh them, or omit one.
7) "I was green in the face. I could feel myself turning green." - You were already green. Again, you could probably mesh these or omit one.
The rest seems alright. I'd probably tone the green back, and specify just where the mirror is in relation to the bed.

Doing a bit of world building. Mankind finds a way to kill all the gods. The magic that the gods were made of/isolating from the world washes back in, waking all the old magical races.

I kinda wanted to go with something low stakes and gradually build up to something climactic rather than start off with the protags as chosen ones and have to consult DBZ for advice on how to raise the stakes.
In fact, the setting starts off with the Heroes of Legend already established and an active force in the world, alongside the leaders of the bigger guilds. I originally intended for there to be some sort of commentary on the strangely static nature of MMO questing with the bigger Guilds and their influence on events, but that kinda fell by the wayside.
A missionary trapped in a city under siege. Him and the indigenous King he was send to work for spend their last week within the Palace debating and sharing things that feel they need to say before their demise.

I have an entire notebook devoted to the meta-meta plot. Pre history, the evolution of the races, the gods, how magic works under different circumstances, ramifications of the magic washing back into the world so suddenly, stuff that will never come up in the stories except in the most subtle of ways and that none of the characters will ever be aware of.
Right now I am trying to whittle down my options for the fae. I want to avoid the traditional summer/winter courts while keeping their hierarchical power structure. I like the thought of every dewdrop fairy paying a tithe of power up the line in a magical pyramid scheme to empower the high lords and ladies of Faerie. I am going for a triumvirate, I have it narrowed down to 4 choices.
>Basing the courts on the food chain cycle
Plantoids/insectoids/mammalians
>going for a less taxonomic structure and instead basing the court on a simplistic model of the nutrient cycle
elementals/consumer-producers/decomposers
>a throwback to the seasonal courts in whitewolf's changling, with the adendum that the winter court is dead

>Where ther others are cycles and any court could be slightly more powerful than the others for only so long the last idea is a much more rigid hierarchy

now im working on a story about a guy who drops out of high school. he finds a tree in the woods that he sleeps next to and finds himself in a different world. he wakes but continues to go back to the tree. again, just the hook. its really about his personal struggle and relationship with an underage girl he meets.

Slowly he comes to realize the West has become corrupt and weak and the degenerates did really have it coming. He sets out to find the radicals, not to catch them but to join them, for he sees their justice is true and pure compared to the state's fake justice.

I'm writing a novel about fractals. the global security state. technological singularity. Consumerism. God/love. Gender and the disintegration of the family unit. A dickensian mystery/melodrama. a kaleidoscopic globalisation novel with a fucked up complex structure think Pynchon or oulipo/ georges perec. Mostly im focusing in the lives of everyday people: New Jersey housewives, gangster-ish politicians in 90s Russia, various vagrants, fuck ups and destitutes from all over the earth, peripherial weeaboos, metaphysical engineers constructing fractal based-superweapons. interns at a cult-like tech startup led by a an exentric 'millenial' CEO with messianic delusions, orphans, suburban jihadists, etc.

Pretty unoriginal in broad premise; following a century of peace, there is a war between space colonists and the people of Earth. Focuses on the political and technological realities (with a little bit of handwaving due to being largely speculative) of such a situation. It has quite a large cast with lots of subplots going on, all surrounding the rivalry between two commanders on opposite sides of the war. The story will follow military commanders, officers, enlisted, civilians, labourers, politicians, and even a secret society.
I plan to kill about half of the main and supporting cast by the end of the story, including the two main commanders. I've written about 10k words so far.

Cuckoldry fanfiction of a Rick Riordan novel
High fantasy setting.
MC is an elf, but a genetic freak. Instead of short and slender, he's a giant, growing larger than even humans, hitting about 7 feet tall and 400 lbs of muscle by the time he's the equivalent of 17.
Elves are racist xenophobes, so they kick his ass out (at the equivalent age of ten) after a training accident leaves his training partner dead. He lives with the northern barbarians, learns their ways, and sets out when he figures he's a man, and is tired of seeing his friends die. This is when the story starts.
The story chronicles his journey to the coast, getting attacked by a demonic presence that wants something from him, hooking up with a mercenary band, being captured and used as an oar slave, breaking free, getting caught up in the struggle of some island dwelling sea elves, and fighting to liberate them from their mainlander oppressors. He discovers that the demon that attacked him followed him, and he defeats the mainlanders, causing the demonic presence to flee. He returns to the mainland to track down the demon that has been hounding him, and builds up an army to defeat the forces (of which the demon is a part) that are keeping his homeland under siege. He meets up with the slain king's daughter, they hook up in a political union, and later fall in love.
The rest of the books in the series will chronicle the king's daughter, two of their kids, and eventually the demon himself. There will be side books that will have collections of stories about the various side characters; all in all, at least eight books are planned.

>The Meadhall was now silent, save for the occasional creak upon an overladen bench. (Their King) had ended on a curious note, and nobody could say for certain if his question was rhetorical or not. Glances were exchanged and eyebrows raised; though he did not, however, leave them wondering for long. Quaffing the last from his mead horn, he tossed it aside with evident exasperation. The vessel landed heavily upon the wooden boards beneath; its loud, resounding thuds soon drawing to a close with the clang of ringing gold. This chime, quickly fading, gave way once more to that awkward silence; and his audience, already ill at ease, found no comfort in his words as he resumed.

I'll see what happens. Hit 20k words yesterday.
I hate sounding arrogant or blowing my own trumpet, but a large part of why I'm writing is due to how bad most popular books/series are, in my opinion. I'd rather bring something to the table, rather than being all talk and no action.

I am writing a story about a boy walking home from school after a bad day (he's been bullied), it shifts back and forth rapidly from stream-of-consciousness to vivid descriptions of scenery and what is going on around as he walks home. I'm also writing a story about a man on a road trip with a little girl (through some mountainous area), which I'm having trouble with; the characterization of the girl is pretty poor (actually barely existent) but it's important to the story; I want to have a palpable relationship between man and girl, but so far I only have good description of scenery and a few thoughts from the man (existential type stuff, you know).
I have been told that the writing in the latter story is at publishable level (by a number of people), but it's just filling it out into an actual story that is difficult.
a set of journal styled letters from a friend to another beyond the grave, both being different aspects of my personality, and footnotes to explain the stuff happening in the journal entries.
it's a weird look in the mind of a mentally ill NEET and his friend trying to understand what lead to his early death.

Also I'm writing a blog type thing on tumblr. It's basically a writing exercise.. http://generousbirdcollection.tumblr.com/
a short story called "Wow I'm So Meta". The protagonist attends a protagonist lookalike party where each attendee is to act out the whole story of "Wow I'm So Meta", but since only one person can accurately act out the whole story at any given time, they try to kill each other, which is obviously already part of the story. From the original protagonists POV we know that he hasn't read WISM, but then begins to read it and tries to get to the end of the story he's already in.

Writing a shitty absurd story about a post-nuclear war semi-cyberpunk world with depressed and lonely protagonist roaming through dusty streets meeting different people in different places and having pseudo-deep dialogs. I think to end it with him joining some rebel movement that has a machine that can redesign the universe to an optimal form (think I'll call it the Leibniz Machine to sound cool) and he'll think he finally found true friends etc and then they will tell him that the only way to activate the machine is that he ( specifically) will commit suicide when attached to it (him dying won't matter much because later the universe will be reformed to no recognition). And he'll have to do it soon because humanity is about to extict in a near total war or something.
Then he'll feel used an betrayed and will eventually commit suicide in his apartment's bathroom when the world is nuked.
The only thing I'm writing currently is a magical diary mostly concerning a thought form that suddenly appeared in my head in 2014, but also my pathetic attempts to do basic level shit like meditate, use rune magick, or practice the lesser banishing ritual of the pentagram.

i like this idea.
Jesus freak girl's crush/unwitting future husband confesses that he's a tranny. She rats him out to get him into corrective therapy. As revenge before leaving, he introduces her to her father's gay lover.
She decides to leave home with him. A bunch of other shit happens. They run into someone who's very heavily implied to be a CIA officer tasked with manipulating pop culture. He explains that he's trying to get everyone to hate themselves, and each other, so that society will work better.
Sounds kinda convoluted seeing it all written out like that. Trannies are all creatures of profoundly neurotic self-loathing, so it seems like a natural association of character and theme.
It's very misanthropic. It's about the horrors of corporeality, and how terrible the physical component of existing is. I think I'm going to have to do a bit of work to focus the theme.

It's a biblical contemporary novel about the conflicts between loyalty, faith, and survival, taking place in pseudo-reality and spanning over seventy years, with a wide range of realistic, torn characters (some fictional, some real) throughout connecting in strange ways, all having a part in a plot bigger than them.
It's an exploration of many themes, with synchronicity, destiny, faith, and truth at the center of it all.
It tackles many contemporary themes such as national security and freedom, religion, terrorism, conspiracy, loyalism, centrism, the dangers of Zionism and Masonic belief, morality in concordance with law, conservatism versus liberalism, government order, among many more.
It's not done yet. It will never be published because "muh hate speech".

What is a biblical contemporary novel? What hate speech?
>>7786454
It's biblical in scale, it has contemporary themes, and is a novel. It's anti-Jew.

>>7786633
Okay. But don't congratulate me now, it's only a concept.

wow, a racist fucktard and you're too lazy to even write a fucking novel.
you have no redeeming qualities at all, do you?
>>7786752
I mean it's not finished. It's far from finished since I estimated it to be around 1000 pages and I'm only on the first 100 pages done.

It comes out a whole lot more nohomo than that, really. Trying to play more against the elves, which are normally portrayed as enlightened, elder races, and bringing up their xenophobia and lack of acceptance.
I started writing about the stories of people aboard a Space Cruise. The cruise isn't policed well and it eventually becomes a place of corporate warfare

The portrait of Fedorian Gray
I'm writing a screenplay about a college senior who tries to master the art of lucid dreaming so he can rehearse philosophical arguments in his sleep and ace his philosophy finals with the extra revision, but a series of encounters with the pompous Dream Derrida shakes his world to its very foundations and prevents him from acting in the real world.
I'm writing a novella. The very basic plot of the story is loosely based on the film 'Seven Samurai'. When I say based on, I mean that the only thing in common is that there is a town that will be attacked by bandits and the villagers go to hire Samurai to protect them. Everything else is original.
I'm using the themes of sin and virtue as the main thing. Each of the seven Samurai will represent a Sin, and the contrasting Virtue. These are the 'seven deadly sins', from Christianity, and the 'seven virtues', from Christianity and ancient Samurai code.
I've got someone from /gd/ who was nice enough to make some mock up designs for a front cover, but I have yet to decide on a proper title for it. The current title will most likely get me sued for copyright infringement or something if I try to sell the book. For reference, the current title is 'Seven Samurai'.
Could one of you guys help me figure out a title?

I am debating to myself whether or not to write a post-apocalyptic novel or a low-level science fiction novel, with social stagnation. A small part of me want to link both both together
>>7787842
they can easily go together if you want them to
>>7787847
I know but I am debating if I should let the parent go first (post-apocalyptic novel) or the child (low-level science fiction novel with a small blend of a fantasy world)

Writing a book about the nature of good and evil, In a fantasy type way
Short story cycle about an internet community frequented by lonely young people in different parts of the world with their lives being depicted gradually with brief pieces of conversation appearing between each brief story between the protagonist of the former story and the protagonist of the successive story. Some meet IRL.

1. A fictional mythological epic where the "modern" edits tell the real story. For example, a conspicuous paragraph espousing a philosophy markedly different from the rest of the myth, or a strange jump in narrative when the protagonist starts getting friendly with [slave race]. I have no idea how the fuck I'd go about this, let alone making it interesting.
2. A (short?) story about a King who sits in his throne and watches his castle fall down around him. Peripheral characters have short arcs before all falling into ruin. It ends when the King kills himself, the blood on his throne making it beautiful for the first time in years. It's shit.
3. Pure self-gratifying masturbatory spy thriller. An old spy is contacted by a missing lover from the cell he joined in the revolution decades ago. Very character driven, he learns too late that people and relationships matter more than ideals and principles. It's even shittier.

That sounds like it could be fun.
