looking for commentary/feedback on this. it's a rough idea and i am already in the process of writing a different book, but lately i have been wanting to turn my attention to this

Agreed. It sounds terrible and each successive post is worse than the last. Like an autistic version of that one Sean Connery movie.

OP here, I've been making these threads for awhile (I'm usually the one posting scantily clad chinks). I'm noticing there seems to be a trend of sci-fi and human condition type plots in these threads. Can someone explain?

thoughts?

the life of a trans woman to suicide

The last remaining chapters are when all hope is gone all characters left from her life and all she can see is the despair that came with the mistakes that will be a monument to her life as a boy who was confused

So she goes and lies about being someone else entirely, to some anonymous underage girl over skype. She lives a life as a woman she dreamed she could, a real woman. With a relationship, plans, a degree. Everything she wanted to aim for but missed. And each day alone she crafts the story of a woman she'll never know, the empty longing for both her mother daughter like relationship with this friend grows, and the longing to metamorphose into the person she dreams. They fall in love, they masturbate together, they feel like pieces of a whole.

Except it ends in suicide.

And the young girl never speaks to the woman she loved again.

A bit pinnochio-esque.

i feel like i already read it

'Thank fuck!' Michael thought. 'Thank the fucking lord'. He'd been at this Party, an event he didn't want to attend, for close to six hours now. His wife (who he hated) had pleaded, sulked and goaded until he contemplated killing her and then himself for the fifth time that month.

That was usually an indication for him that he'd better dial back his emotions and submit to her will.

He'd just dialed them back to ten though. He had eleven up his sleeve, the control he had over the power to really frighten and offend his esteemed guests is what gave him the strength to sit and listen to they cyclical sharing of verbal fecal matter.

But now was the time to escalate, now he was going to turn it up to eleven. His mum had always told him when he embarrassed himself in public (an almost daily occurrence in childhood) that he needn't worry, that he'd never see these people again. Well now nobody would ever see these people again, they'd be gone, kaput! They would be physically unable to talk shit about him behind his back if he fucked up again, their judgemental glances would be completely overshadowed by that of death.

His temper never left him, not really. However the inverse of his mothers statement seeped into his psyche; he could never really relax around people he was forced to see again and again, over and over at the behest of sexual partners, dominating friends, work colleagues.

He spent his whole life suppressing the urge to do something crazy; to should expletives in the cinema, to brain the woman from accounts who talked incessantly about her ugly cabbage patch doll kids. Many a company meal was spent with him quietly eyeing up the hotplates his over priced food was served on and wondering if the fat on her face would bubble if he struck her with it, or if he'd have to hold it in place.

But Michael never did anything because that's what he does. He's an anti-person, a person without will. His stream of consciousness, his every hope, dream and ambition was on the tip of his tongue. He'd feel passion, rage, indignation like you or I but he'd keep it to himself, he'd make futile efforts to re-distribute it. He'd pound the street jogging until physical exertion overwhelmed emotional pain, he'd get into arguments in shops about minutiae, he'd cry sometimes for no reason but that wasn't much to worry about, he'd read a book on his last holiday that said that crying was good for your emotions.

It never really gave him any catharsis but he'd assumed that crying was, like everything else, something one needs to practice. Maybe it's tiered, like meditation, maybe if he cried frequently enough it would clear his physical static. Michael hated crying though because it embarrassed him so it's unlikely he'd ever get very good at it.

He felt like crying now though, he wanted to cry. He wanted to sit at the table and weep. For the first time in a long time Michael held the keys to his spirit and he was going to open it. But not yet. He was still enjoying the control. Eyes slowly moving round the table like I spotlight, politely nodding to his wife, her repulsive friends and the histrionic queen with a laugh that could melt lead.

They all looked the same to him. The conversation was almost identical to the one they'd had the last time they'd met. And the time before and the time before. They were all wearing more or less the same clothes, they ordered the same drinks and similar food. They all whooped and cheered when the teriyaki hotplate was brought out like they'd never seen food being cooked before. Michael knew they had because they'd come to this shit, overpriced fusion restaurant over seven times in the past year.

Michael hated Fusion cuisine because he felt that if you merge cultures you lose the essential essence of the flavour. There's something metaphysical about each cuisine, a whisper of spirit from the country of it's inception. When you combined, both cultures become one and the same, they become poor imitations of each other and they cancel each other out, they become spiritually void.

He'd expressed this to his wife on multiple occasions but she'd rolled her eyes like he was a petulant child. He'd taken it because that's what he's always done, he's always just taken it on the chin. Tried to be a stoic like Marcus Aurelius, whilst being treated with the respect of a beggar. He'd rationalized that having this conflict would make his ability to remain stoic stronger, that letting the slow trickle from the poisonous river of invalidation just wash over him would allow him to become some kind of ubermensch. Aurealius incarnate, invulnerable to the petty judgements of man.

It hadn't. It had left him weak and afraid. Alone, surrounded by people. He wasn't even allowed to cry. He didn't allow himself to cry because being mocked was more frightening to him than denying his own catharsis.

But he was going to cry now. So he did. He cried like a cartoon character, like a beau waving goodbye to her war bound fiance. He had only really seen crying in the movies so he tried to imitate that. 'Goodbye my love!' he shouted. 'Goodbye! Write me, will you? Write me when you get there! I will wait for you! Keep your locket by your heart, it will keep you safe!' he had made himself laugh, sitting there laughing and crying. All eyes on him.

His wife gave him a hushed warning; 'go to the toilet and sort yourself or I'm leaving. You are embarrassing me'

This only stimulated his emotional ejaculation, he began so holler and whoop, shouting torrents of abuse at every pudgy faced cunt sitting at the table

Everything brought him joy, every previous source of shame was inverted, every titter , every 'sir I think you should leave' projected him further into a frenzy

And then he fell silent, calm. Placid.

His thoughts turned inwards and he thought of his premonition. He fantasied a lot because he was a fucking loser but this one had come to him out of the blue.

His esteemed guests were putting on their coats to leave, furtively looking for social shaming directed at them.

'You're all going to die tonight' Michael said calmly.

They stopped briefly to glare at him then they unloaded their emotions on him; cursing, shouting, swearing.

It was Glorious! An evening of catharsis!

But Michael was tired and he wanted to go home. So he picked up a hotplate to test out a theory. He wept and wept and wept. The conversation stopped.

All eyes on him. All eyes on Michael.

His wife muttered something in his ear about embarrassing himself and he started to laugh.

He started to laugh and laugh, laugh like he'd never laughed before.

He felt pure ecstasy, a torrent of positive and negative energy flowed out him like a puncture in CERN.

Sobbing and laughing in a restaurant full of disapproving faces, he began to think of the revelation he'd had earlier. His premonition.

This made him laugh harder, he was howling! Howling like an animal with tears streaming down his face.
I'm a psychiatric nurse so I'm really interested in the mistakes people make over and over again in relationships. Thought I could do a dark, magic realism groundhog day sort of thing. Thoughts?

I really like the idea. But you're doing a lot more of telling than showing. You should be describing the party/Michael's actions and letting the reader draw assumptions about his psychology and thoughts rather than just describing his thoughts. Would make for a much better read.

Ah cool, thanks for the feedback. This was more a rough draft to kind of get a clear picture of Michael in my own head, how he'd react to certain situations etc.

You're completely right though, I just read it back and I don't have any sense of the party or the guests. Will have to have a look at it again and try and be a bit more subtle.

For sure man. Good luck with it, I'd love to see it develop

This sounds like it'd do better as a short story

>tomboy starts attending a new boarding school
>always wears signet ring given to her by a prince
>aspires to become a prince herself; acts boyish, wears the boys' uniform
>the members of the school's student council all wear identical signet rings
>they engage in sword duels with the winner gaining "possession" of a young woman, the "rose bride"
>In the first chapter the protagonist will

Not going to waste 40 minutes typing out the entire plot. Patricians see where it's going.

This is so awful I actually want to read a sample.

I am not a native english speaker btw and I am not writing it in english.

>young married couple digs hole in back garden for swimming pool.
>the day before buying it, a burglar breaks in, they kill him, and use that whole to bury him.
>the novel is about A) how they get rid of the body B) how they deal with the murdered burglar being on the news constantly as a disappeared person, with his mother crying on talk shows about her missing son.

Forget a novel, I'm such a failure even my short story is going nowhere. Here's the plot of that:

>kid lives in suburbia with demanding and controlling parents
>can't connect with other kids and only finds solace in his room with the comfort of games and books and solitude
>looks out his window at some kids riding bikes down the street and is struck with a feeling of helplessness
>years later he finds himself in a similar situation in a one person apartment
>no prospects, smart guy but can't socialize with anybody, shit job
>peeks through his blinds at some kids playing basketball and has a sense of deja vu

Oh wow! The human condition guys! its not like that's an incredibly broad concept that most literature tackles anyway as well as other more focused issues.

fuck, replied to the wrong person

>time and space is collapsing
>history is folding over itself
> everything is mixed up
>Dude realizes it's caused by a singularity in time.
>people are communicating freely throughout time
>He's going through out time, killing dudes who are causing it

Why wouldn't they just tell the police they killed a burglar?

Nice autobiography loser

white privilege alert

>horny demon sneaks into a convent and fucks a bunch of nuns

Who's this fluid druid?

because it is a third world country with a legal system very different from that of the USA, with no common law, juries, or states with different criminal laws.

you are allowed to kill in self defense, but proving that it was self defense is very hard (you can only kill when you are under attack, feeling threatened is not enough), if it is decided the criminal intended to escape and you shot him, you go to jail.

many people who kill criminals go to jail, or are detained and face long trials, while becoming news channel celebrities "the carpenter who shot the thief in xxx city will testify next monday..."

And the possibility of revenge by criminal friends of the dead burglar, or even the family, exists.
Most people who go through something like that, end up having to move to another neighbourhood or city because they fear that revenge.
Or they move because they find out the criminal lived in a shanty town 10 blocks from their house, and you could meet their family-criminal friends in the supermarket.

the situation is very unfair for the protagonists, they did nothing wrong but they are fucked.

The only people dumb enough to post their ideas are the ones who come up with shit like that.

ah...thanks for that wordy and very uninteresting explanation and description of your shit smelling country's legal system. You could have just edited it down to the very first sentence.

I have a vaguely similar idea that I have a full draft of now.

>low fantasy as fuck

The idea is to try and take some of fiction's biggest no-nos and show that, yes, it can be done. Because that's always fun to do.

This. These threads are really just a breeding ground for people to steal the ideas of those stupid enough to post them.

>it's another Veeky Forums is so convinced they're the next great writer of the generation that they think that everyone is out to steal their ideas episode
Most people generally write about what they want to write, user. You probably think that if you submitted a manuscript for publishing one of their more famous authors would steal it and pass it off as their own.

No one writes thinking they're going to be as famous as they turn out. Not Mark Twain, not Stephen King, not Tolkien, not Martin. Nobody.

Nice try but eat a dick.

You wot m8?

Change prostitute to colleague or some girl. A heartless prostitute is as boring as a prostitute with a heart of gold. Just a heartless woman is more painful, more real.

is for

There is Cynicism and then theres a plebby version of cynicism that gets cured by pussy and that's what the average joe thinks it is

Not enough detail in the greentext to mention, but it's apparent from when the characters meet each other that they share a kind of half-bitter/half-romanticised worldview, although in the prostitute's case this is her being good at her job and sussing out what appeals to her client.

The point is that the protagonist thinks that it is real, and then realises that he's just been paying for a commodity. That's why the sex worker character works. If the protagonist merely has to go through an abortive affair with a colleague, there's no ambiguity or complexity to it, he would just come across as a petulant spurned partner. That he has been conned - both by the sex worker and his own delusional attitude - provides the novel with what I think is a certain depth.

no makes it boring, makes him dumb m8. you can write a colleague as an exploitative whore as well. makes it more painful, more real. makes man less dumb less boring m8 do it m8. he realises the colleague is nothing but a heartless whore, it's better m8 trust m8

You should've spelled that out more clearly because that can't even be called cynicism anymore. Pessimistic romanticism maybe?

I might be a shit hack writer but I have enough self-respect to not write a basic "femme fatale hurts nice man" story. That's a two dimensional story. I'm not saying that one can't write evil female characters, but there's nothing interesting about them unless one makes the effort to add nuance and ambiguity. I'm not going to write some bullshit r9k story about a nasty bitch screwing over a nice guy just to pander to dudes who blame all their romantic problems on women.

I suppose I'm using the old "behind every cynic is a repressed idealist" trope. The protagonist affects a world-weariness and wry cynicism but is perhaps, under the surface, yearning for something hackneyed and romantic.

>I might be a shit hack writer but I have enough self-respect to not write a basic "femme fatale hurts nice man" story.
that's exactly what it already is tho

Not him, but making her a hooker turns the whole thing into a cartoon. Maybe make her a telemarketer or something?

She's just trying to make money and stay alive. Is her making the best of her situation grounds to call her a femme fatale? I think you're assuming that being a sex worker and wanting to make money from your job is pure evil. I think it's complicated.

I don't agree. One of the reasons I chose Seoul (other than being able to use a hyper-modern setting to create an atmosphere of alienation) is that it's full of sex workers, just like Shanghai or Tokyo. The same with making him a stockbroker - a stockbroker visiting a hooker is a completely realistic (and commonplace) scenario, had I given the protagonist a different job it would seem less plausible, or as you say, like a cartoon.

I like the telemarketer suggestion a lot though. That's very good. For the sake of realism I might make that the hooker character's second job, it's more true-to-life that a hooker would work multiple jobs than be only a call girl.

i thought this took place in korea and the colleague in a late capitalistic system is also trying to make the best of her situation

>I think you're assuming that being a sex worker and wanting to make money from your job is pure evil. I think it's complicated.
what

but since u brought it up m8 in places like seoul where you have other chances you go into prostitution to make more money than you do in other jobs or to make extra money.

I don't know where you work but fucking your colleagues doesn't tend to improve your job prospects, even in brutal places like the financial sector. I said that the protagonist is sent to Seoul on business - screwing a guy who's only there for a business trip won't improve your lot unless he's the CEO. Also, it makes her look more conniving if she is seeking out the prospect of a social-climbing-fuck. I think that that turns her into something of a caricature.

no but screwing a guy who'll be gone and squeezing him for all he's worth would be.

you read all that social climbing into it i didn't suggest that at all m8

You only need to "squeeze a guy for all he's worth" if you're poor. If she's a colleague that seems unlikely. Your views about women seem a little skewed towards them being exploitative bitches...

kek

every single fucking post i made you inferred and assumed a whole bunch of shit. thank fuck i don't know anyone as obnoxious as you in real life m8.

you on the other hand seem deadset on not allowing a character to have any traits at all except "just being". z

Sounds more like a framework for a good idea than a good idea. It could be good or bad. We need more detail.

As someone working in Asia I can already identify with the feeling behind your idea. I think it could be a good yarn if you write it well and if you're authentic with how pathetic this kind of lifestyle is. What inspired it, user?

I think this is a very interesting concept, and I'd read it for sure.
