Greentext the plot of your new novel

Good concept. Ending leaves me flat

I am writing a whole novel about a single act of anal sex. I am on page ~230 right now.

can you send me a copy of our draft?
sounds hot af

>be nice to eachother
>communicate more effectively
>have a civilization that actually works

that sounds like it could either be extremely interesting or extremely uninteresting, depending on your skill as a writer. post an excerpt

N-no. I am keeping it private.

I am afraid that descriptions of smell, taste, touch etc. are putting the pornographic part into the background, if that's what you wanna read. I spend several pages describing each thrust or lick or fart sometimes.

please don't bother

>rurall/mini hospital
>lesbian junior doctor meets lesbian senior doctor
>(three years of age difference only because age play is top 3 overrated meme in lesbian community)
>senior doctor is hardworking sassy bitch who hasn't accepted her degeneracy completely
>junior doctor has accepted it, very dependable at work, but her childish manners give her a bad image
>junior doctor is part of an unforeseen and non-preventable event (which she actually manages excellently) that causes a patient to die
>but the stress of the event itself and rumors about it making her infamous at the hospital get to her
>senior doctor reaches out to junior
>cue physician "professional and self development" and "degeneracy acceptance" fueled by ethical and professional discussion and lesbian sex
>they do become a couple eventually but the road ahead isn't very straight (huehue)

The story is thus a combination of a severe lack of lesbian fiction in my language, and the fact that people somehow love reading and watching doctor stuff

Yes. fuck happy endings

We want to see it even more so now user.

>fart

Farts are perfectly acceptable on Veeky Forums

>Set on an off shore oil rig

sounds interesting user

Thanks, my mum is helping me :)

>suffers deaths all his victims would have had
>can alter events that lead to the deaths
I assume this refers to the bus bomb deaths but if he can alter the events towards that then in all the earlier lives he wouldnt have altered them and the bus bomb would have killed them. So he wouldnt manage to live to die the other way.
And if its just altering the normal deaths then what does it matter he still dies for each of them.

Cyberpunk novel

>MC is a fugitive ex-supersoldier
>genetically modified
>years ago his parent military organisation was absorbed by a rival one, MC was the poster boy for them with shittonnes of medals
>became disillusioned with the new management, started a full-scale rebellion
>ended up getting nearly everyone under his command killed in the process, including childhood friends
>in the aftermath he escaped, but lost all conviction for his cause due to the crushing grief and regret
>lays low for a few years and ends up in Shanghai working as a freelance merc for the criminal underworld (under a new identity)
>all is good until a heist goes south and he loses his full-face helmet in the shootout
>CCTV captures it
>face is fucked up from the war enough that facial recognition software won't work
>however, the operative investigating the botched heist recognises him from the war
>full-on manhunt ensues, MC must escape the all-powerful organisation out for his blood

It's basically a vehicle for some cool actions scenes, some cool technoporn (anyone in a combat role is either gene-modded or outfitted with combat prosthetics, or both) and some grisly-ass violence. Even though it's cyberpunk, it's basically all military. No hacking, and no 'resistance' movement. Corporate warfare by proxy gangs and sabotage is the name of the game.

I had 12 chapters written 2 years ago before I realised that I had almost no plot and I'd started in the wrong place. It's matured since then, and I'm just starting to get it written on a consistent basis.

Wish me luck bros

Good luck bro.

Would read as cyber-anything gives me a chub. Guilty pleasure.

Good luck.

sounds boring desu

good luck user.

No, the modernist era is a bit further back. You came to the post-modernist one. Try again.

Dude, I'd read something like that

Do you know very much about science? Because the consequences of modifying the fundamental forces would be absurdly drastic. You can do away with that first point.

>degeneracy

Sounds good but I'd start from the point when he's in Shanghai otherwise it'll drag out too long.

Roast me, e/lit/ists.

doesn't this already exist? i know it's a bit different, but "fling on a roadtrip through the sierra" is basically y tu mama tambien wey

I thought that at first as well. Maybe he means the bomber lives each victem's whole life leading up to the bus bombing, possibly to become the sole surviror in their respective timelines.

Yeah, the main book takes place in Shanghai. Everything before that point is told either in the prologue, really short flashbacks, or passing exposition.

What country is this taking place in? If it's a fictional one, people might not be emotionally invested in it. It it's a real one, you need to be realistic with the political relations and ramifications.
The end sounds far too simplistic for such a complex premise. Total war is always a last resort. Realistically, if a military power wanted to destroy an enemy located in one area they wouldn't bomb it flat. Cities have resources, especially one with a prominent manufacturing sector such as you've described. They'd be more likely to blockade it until the populace got fed up and staged a coup, deposing the leaders and making a deal to end the blockade. People lose allegiance pretty fast when faced with starvation.

Jesus user don't come in here with that high fantasy trash

The country should be based on Vietnam and its culture. The story maybe some sort of "what if American has won the war". I am just simplifying the plot. It should take the gang more than ten years or something to create their root, more than twenty years to be able to do arm trading and ten years more to plan the revolt. No 2 must have some sort of hidden plan (develop agricultural lands, guerilla war tactics, etc.) that is suppose to be success with most of local's approval, but for 40 years, 3/4 people really do not care or think it is a nuisance. Only some of them agree with the plan when the others betray or do things to stop the revolt. Also, the government should do something like "devide and conquer", which basically isolate the country's land. Plus, the gang should be able to free the land for a while, but not breaking the borders of that "divide and conquer".

You are right about the gorvenment's tactic: they should bomb the land, building and do something something. Maybe the end will hint No.3 is heavily wounded, but successfully get out of the border.

I think I will have to do make the character as complex as possible, having many forces, wishes that drive them arround. I should make them slowly change as things happen. At first, the three OG feel terribly bad about their action and its sequenses, no.3 should want to kill himself but could not and then decide to quit, but no.1 successfully think and persuades himself thrn no.3. Maybe we will have the three are the ones who stop an other revolt by the veterans like themselves and it makes they think a lot about people and the country, slowly change from "brutal to survive" to "brutal to greater good".

Fuck it if my writing confuse you as I make lots of grammar mistake and typos. I am at my company and typing by my phone. I am not a native English speaker either.

When I am home, I will find my notes and post something more. I did like 20k words drafts and notes for important things, but have never tried writing because it is more time consuming than lurking Veeky Forums.

>Simple farmboy gets godlike powers
>Spend the next few million years slowly understanding them, as he has no idea he had any powers at start
>Wanders the galaxy (jumping situation and genre as I write what I want, with pointless badass action littering the plot)
>(Actually does have complex meta arcs with resolution, if anyone reads long enough, length is projected to be crazy long)

About to start my fifth restart on this, have changed tool sets many times as it breaks things, now trying an Emacs setup I made just for this.

It still needs a title and a pen name.

This is actually the first novel idea I had, which I'm only posting because I don't intend to develop it as it is shitty edgy YA genre fiction.

>MC is orphaned street urchin that pickpockets something very valuable belonging to mafia leader
>eventually gets tracked down and caught, but mafia leader is impressed by MCs resourcefullness and decides to take him under his wing
>MC grows up becoming an infamous assassin in the criminal underground
>rival mafia creates elaborate plan to assassinate MC by using another street urchin girl as a distraction
>assassination fails
>MC noticing the similarity between girl's situation and his as a child and decide to take care of her
>MC doesn't want girl to have the same life he has had, so enrolls her to be schooled in a legitimate trade
>time passes
>girl meets guy at trade school, they have some chemistry but she doesn't get serious about it
>guy, being spoiled and used to getting his way, tries to force himself on girl
>in the struggle, girl manages to kill the guy
>PLOT TWIST: guy is mafia leader's son
>mafia leader captures MC and girl
>being very butthurt, he slowly and gruesomely kills girl infront of MC
>MC snaps, triggering awakening of latent magical power, goes completely postal and kills everyone

That is the first of five arcs in the story. I'll continue the rest if anyone cares. It doesn't get better, but at least it has flaming zombies.

What I'm writting is different, I believe, both in tone and theme, even if the setting is the same.

These sound interesting

you made me laugh out loud :~)

Reminds me of Flight

I hope you're not using the /x/-style "LETMEINNN" burning-blood-scented wendigo.

Because out of all the bullshit /x/ is responsible for perpetuating over the years, that's what I take the most offense at.

Kinda like Predator but with an /x/ style twist.

very good, very spooky. throw in some well written characters and I'm buying

Sounds like a modern, more childish Oliver Twist.

I'd recommend you watch the film "Leon the Professional" if you haven't already. Some parallels there. I won't spoil it, you'll understand if you see the movie.

I'd also recommend changing your MC status from "infamous super assassin" to skilled, well known assassin to alleviate some of the Mary Sue you've got going on. Maybe there could be some inner turmoil about how the MC is by and large well know not entirely for his skills, but his association with the mob. So basically, MC piggybacks on the mobs infamy.

Not a bad idea for a YA novel, but I encourage you to try to rout some of the cliche. At least some.

Good luck.

Can anyone recommend some books with subtle supernatural/strange elements? Not outright fantasy or something of the like, but rather subtle oddity in the world? Something like The Metamorphosis, where there are very strange events that are either generally discarded or accepted by people although acknowledged as strange? Or even sort of urban legend like?

I've got an idea but I'm not sure how to go about the formation of the world and setting. I know the emotion I want to display and/or elicit, but I'm having trouble imagining it in any way but vaguely.

Sound slike the plot of dog soldiers desu

I haven't actually seen that but having watched the trailer and read the synopsis I think mine will be tonally and narrative-ly different enough to stand on its own.
I want mine to be quite agoraphobic, but Dog Soldiers looks like more of a castle-defense style horror.

Short story concept working through
>Ancient Egyptian child dies
>Ushabti made
>Ushabti guides him through the unique and mysterious ancient egyptian afterlife, subtly raising ponderances about the very nature of existence and self awareness.

Needs some tweaking. Very deus ex machina plot armor.

Keep in mind it is not in bad taste to kill your MC when there is no feasible way to help them reach survival. How much do you know about your demon?

Fantasy novel
>Muggle painter comes to town looking to paint the perfect scene
>A little girl becomes interested in her works
>Little girl's best friend(also a little girl) becomes jealous
>Novel ends with little girl A leaving town to explore the world

> muggle

What is this, Harry Potter? I'd recommend using a different word.

Also, that's a very bare-bones synopsis.

Could be good. I like the exploring the world part. Made me think of His Dark Materials.

Will there be a sequel?

>modern fantasy world
>no elves or orcs or shit, just humans with magic
>work at police department as consultant involving magical cases
>because you're too bad to make money with actual magic in the industry
>bunch of people confess to the same murder, describing it perfectly

>later have a memory in a jar sent to police department
>watch it because why not
>relive memory of that murder as viewed by the murderer
>fucks you pretty up
>no real evidence tho, so...
>watch again and again to try and "remember" little details which would indicate a location or the identity of either murderer or victim
>find real location later
>start having murderous thoughts
>but you're the good guy
>more memory jars

>ritual to gain lots of power
>...
>now if you'd just complete your ritual and easily pin the blame on someone else...

In the actual thing she'd just be called a talentless member of society but for the sake of brevity in greentext, it was easier to just say muggle.

I've already thought up a lot of other plot details for what would happen years later when the little girl's grown up and her best friend leaves town to search for her or whatnit but I felt it was best to just concentrate on writing out what I already have first before worrying about trying to pen a multi-volume story.

this is a very good idea but will work a lot better with a happy ending where he succeeds. it wraps up far better

Cool, cool. Sounds like something I'd read for fun. A nice adventure story, with s om fantasy in the mix. Pretty interesting.

Speaking of fantasy, is there magic? What kind of fantasy are we talking here?

Anyway, hope it gets finished and published. Let me know when I can read it.

Short summary:
>an attempted coup in the United Kingdom ends in chaos and the downfall of its society

Less shorter summary:
>monarchy had been disbanded a while before through a fairly peaceful process, but a prominent section of society felt strong opposition to the idea that Britain was losing its identity in favour of becoming a standard republic so that section of society and some associates in the military stage a coup to bring back the monarchy but fuck it up completely and the country descends into third-world anarchy

I haven't thought too much on the exact system I want to use yet, sadly. I wanted to have the little girl be good with water magic, and the best friend with plant magic, to show the best friend's reliance on the little girl symbolically, but other than that I haven't worked much out.

It's actually quite encouraging to see someone on an anonymous image board actually reply at all so, I'll do my best and get it finished soon.

Is that girl Mexican? I thought Mexicans were ugly but she a qt. She's a shtiskin but what can you do about that.

This sounds pretty fascinating. Who would you say are your influences? Bolano maybe?

The thing that makes Naked Lunch and Fear and Loathing is that the authors lived that life, and it's quite apparent in the books. You haven't and it's quite apparent in your post.

The Matrix already did it.

>girl have sex and finds out she has curse
>some time after sex partner die in violent way
> then two storylines:
>1 a partner tries avoid dying because finds out of the curse
>2 the girl turns into a racist anti immigrant and tries stopping immigration fucking niggas
>finnally girl marries a transgender that would eventually kill the first guy

true story

This sounds pretty good, like it would make a good Veeky Forums tier novel.

This is cringe worthy, my friend. Like the fantasy of an edgy 15 year old.

Ya lo terminó?

It actually is super Bolano-inspired, but also with Borges, Gaddis, Marquez, Flann O Brien, etc

Thanks dude

Y'know, you hear so many ideas on this site that you think are brilliant, then the thread dissqpears and you never hear about them again. I wish there was a way of keeping tabs on certain projects in threads like this.

What are you planning to do with this novel whhen you finish it? I'd be super interested in reading it once its done, but even if you do manage to publish it, I doubt I'll ever find it, just cause there are so many books out there.

It's only just past the fully planned stage now and I'm waiting until some real life shit cools down before delving into writing

I'm a terrible writer though so it might be a while, but if it gets published ever Veeky Forums will be the first to know

I wouldnt even wait till it's published. It sounds like the kind of book that might take a long time to publish, since Veeky Forumscore is so niche nowadays.

I'd post a thread when its finished (and then another one if it gets published).

Alrighty, fair enough
Thanks for the enthusiasm dude, wasn't sure if the concept was cliche but now at the very least I know the book will be a disappointment as opposed to an outright failure

I love it. Would definitely read. Great idea, honestly.

Strongly disagree - The ending is what really makes it.

Does it have a name?
