How much wacky unrealistic shit can you get away with in a novel if you play it right?
I want to write a novel that rigidly follows The Hero's Journey and takes place in a realistic representation of the modern world, yet I also want the characters to resemble fantasy archetypes as much as possible within the bounds of (pseudo-)reality.
Charles Robinson
thats called low fantasy, Lovecraft was a low fantasy genius, in basically writte fantastic situations on a realistic base, just don't fall on the "explanantions meme" you don't have to explain the fantasy to make it looking realistic, thats reatarded, fantasy has no logic or explanantion
Eli Morris
>thats called low fantasy Nah, the thing is, I want to stick to High Fantasy tropes without there being any actual fantasy whatsoever. Not low fantasy, not anything. The world is completely mundane. It can be unrealistic, but no fantastically so.
Do you kind of get what I'm saying? There's still a quest after something etc, except it's in the modern world and without any magic or whatever.
Joshua Collins
so... like Twilight?
Jonathan Carter
Not exactly, Twilight still has vampires and shit, right?
Gabriel Cook
>you will never taint that innocent face with your cum
why even live
Lincoln Wilson
I know right
Hunter Parker
Bump. I know you anons can help me.
Chase Wright
>posting incest baiting redditors
Cooper Lopez
pls no
Actually, what do you think would be the readers' reaction to sister-on-sister incest in an otherwise serious novel?
Zachary Powell
oh my good lord
Nathan Cox
That's a pretty good idea desu, but stop pretending you have an actual question.
>How much wacky unrealistic shit can you get away with
12, Dostoyevsky said you can get away with 12 wacky shits
Brayden King
Like Infinite Jest?
Asher Powell
No.
Ethan Murphy
...
Joshua Parker
Really? Never watched it. Fucking Shiyamaladingdong stealing my ideas.
Oliver White
>pls no What do you mean by this? >what do you think would be the readers' reaction to sister-on-sister incest in an otherwise serious novel? It's over a century since modernism, it wouldn't be that shocking.
Owen Stewart
>What do you mean by this? It seems that pics of Ella and her sister tend to get the >DUDE INCEST BAITING LMAO response quite often on Veeky Forums. I want none of that shit.
>wouldn't be that shocking. Well, shocking wouldn't be bad. I'm more worried about unnecessarily shocking.
Wyatt Cruz
>I want none of that shit. Then don't post incestbait.
Henry Diaz
It was so terrible
Sebastian Ward
>I want none of that shit.
I simply don't comprehend
Camden Martin
You should check it out. It's not exactly what you described, but it does encompass the 'fantasy tropes in the modern world' thing you were going for plus it's not that bad if you are able to divorce yourself from metatextual readings of the film.
Hunter Brooks
I don't know what you're talking about.
Asher Foster
The actual answer is as much as you want so long as you're not afraid of it appearing in the scifi/fantasy section. Though what you're talking about sounds like YA.
Mason Perez
degenerate
Ethan Wood
>what you're talking about sounds like YA. Well fuck.
What are you, a homo?
Joshua Bennett
>nondegeneracy is gay to the redditor
Jaxson Rogers
It's okay for sisters to be close user, pls stop projecting.
Jason Wood
>incestbaiting is the only kind of closeness between siblings
John Miller
No, but they are not incestbating.
Aiden Cook
Yes they are.
Luis Lee
Can we talk about something else pls?
Brayden Butler
Can you stop posting incestbait forever?
Robert James
No.
Robert Robinson
So you admit it's incestbait? Also, why are you such degenerate filth?
Angel Bennett
I admit nothing.
Caleb Brooks
post the pic of her and her bf :^)
Aiden Williams
Beautiful, cute women are my Achilles heel
Benjamin Lewis
Ok. Who are those? Sauces?
Eli Anderson
They're not together anymore.
Cameron Cox
Fuck off and never return.
Wyatt Powell
What you want is a road trip story where the roles of the mentor and helpers and gods and shit are replaced by chance encounters with regular people who serve the same purpose.
Within those boundaries and those of realism you can make it as wacky as you want.
Isaiah Mitchell
>implying you wouldn't even eat her poo of that ass?
Liam Fisher
Elizabeth Freya Liefkes and her sister Saskia Liefkes. Not sure about the .gif, some random whores I guess.
Jayden Young
That's actually a brilliant idea, thanks user.
Christian Evans
Seek psychiatric help.
Ayden Russell
is she with some chad now?
Noah Mitchell
Let's not be bigoted here, eh?
Lincoln Davis
Nah. She was with a normie, then a chink, then nobody.
Seems to prefer older betas hilariously enough.
Levi Murphy
a girl this attractive? not surprised. they're probably rich too. i've noticed when white girls date chinks the chinks are always loaded
Caleb Sullivan
...
Kevin Perry
>not accepting shiteating is bigoted
Matthew Ross
You should check out her Instagram. The dude is older than her and likely uglier than you.
Ryan Gutierrez
i know senpai. i've seen it. that's why im saying that he was probably rich.
Grayson White
There's absolutely nothing wrong with eating shit. Get with the times grandpa.
Aaron Brooks
They broke up though I think.
Cameron Phillips
she's living in singapore so she's probably gonna end up with some rich chink anyways. oh well.
Jason Sanders
This isn't "cute" anymore. You should eliminate all physical evidence that you ever existed and then jump in to the ocean and kill yourself. I'm dead serious.
Aiden Adams
Actually she's in Amsterdam right now, getting her degree.
Luis James
Cry more you closeted cucc.
Colton Thompson
instagram says singapore. but w/e senpai. she's a race mixing slut so she's dead to me.
Christian Evans
>posting creepshots
Gabriel Miller
>not satisfied by pushing perversions in our faces he is now projecting them on to us
Nathaniel Richardson
She has a completely open personal FB.
Kayden Hall
>being a stalker
Joshua Wright
It's not stalking.
Carter Evans
>Veeky Forums - /b/
Joshua Cook
Any amount you want, as long as it's related to the novel and done well. You have all sorts of wacky stuff in Cien años de soledad, and yet it's the best novel in Spanish - yes, even better than Don Quijote parts I and II.
Nolan Howard
Not my fault it turned out this way.
Chase Powell
Yes it is.
Henry Lopez
You're the one who started shitposting about degeneracy.
Connor Gomez
You're the one who started shitposting degeneracy.

Thomas Hernandez
>there are people who don't want to see cute sisters sharing a tender moment
Ryder Lee
>there are people who think they don't know exactly what they're doing
