why this pasta here?

Why bring modern politics?

Does my movie count?

>near future earth
>growing anxiety over AI development leads to a multinational moratorium on developing learning computer programs due to fears of military use
>some rich billionaire CEO uses his personal wealth to covertly build an alternative human entirely out of prosthetics and cloned genetic material
>the only computer components are simple enough to be grandfathered in the law and help regulate sensory information and body functions enough that the body is streamlined enough to function
>through some plot contrivance I haven't entirely nailed down, the developers have to prematurely awaken the android to avoid it being discovered and possibly destroyed
>the android, in a semi-conscious retard state, is put under the care of a career criminal who has no evident ties to the corporation, under threat of being exposed if he doesn't comply
>initially it's just a statue, but as it starts to come online and learn, the creator of the project uses the situation as a field test, demanding more and more information from the android's caretaker
>meanwhile the caretaker, who is avidly disgusted and afraid of the idea of machine life, walks the line on whether he can kill it or get over it's alien status
>the whole narrative acts as a dissertation on the nature of both artificial sapience, questions about determinism and free will, critique and satire of contemporary conceptions of artificial intelligence, and a whole slew of other shit
>envisioned ending has the criminal unintentionally shooting the android due to his inability to face the existential questions it raises, both as a nod to the Stranger and as a pastiche of the "robots head explodes when exposed to a paradox" thing
The narrative obviously needs a lot of refining, but I'm focusing more on the thematic elements. There's a lot I want to cram into the story if I can.

I don't know, but I think it will end in a suicide.

Stop, that's retarded

Why not STARTING with a suicide? I bet you never tought that, pleb

Pretty bad my dude

It's like a ridiculously unnecessarily convoluted episode of the twilight zone

>A penguin falls in love with a cardboard cutout of an anime girl dressed like a penguin.
>Based on a true story.

>main character is an undersecretary as part of the human envoys. other featuring characters include Victorian British gothic rat-men from the huge caves under the world, Anubis-like "egyptians", various other humans from other kingdoms, orcs, elves, etc. etc. basically every fantasy race, government system, or real life ideology that could possibly exist is represented in a group of diplomats, honour guards, etc, numbering ~1,000

>asshole dragon-god is set up as a red herring but is actually secretly trying to prevent it using the negotations without revealing it
>main character gets sucked into this "ancient evil" subplot while also being stuck in negotiations
>over the course of the novel he finds out he's actually the forgotten prince of his kingdom and heir to the world and the chosen one etc. etc. destined to battle the ancient evil
And so on.

I'm not pretending it's anything deep, I just like writing comedy-of-manners stuff and I like fantasy and I'm interested in politics, so I put them together.

Sorry it's not "the world hates me and then I killed myself" like most of the shit here.

Yeah, honestly I think it would translate better as a short film or something, just because Louisiana in the 1960s aesthetics.

Yeah, I thought of it while I was on salvia. Or more or less I remembered it when I came to.

It's pretty fucking bad my dude

I'm not even sure if this is intended as a joke but I would read the fuck out of that.

Sounds interesting

it's retarded enough to be a masterpiece

How come?

Because it'll hurt his penis

These both sound really interesting, are you guys posting somewhere?

Mademoiselle Reisz?

Noway someone already had my idea :(

sounds cash man.

It's a fucking /a/ meme you dips

DELET THIS

Substitute ratty Asian guy for paternal substitute and u literally have my novel

Fuck

already 100 pages in baby, see you at the finish line ;)

>cyberpunk crime mystery
>set in the four Asian Tigers (Hong Kong, Singapore, Taipei, Seoul)
>follows an augmented Private Eye out investigating a murder case for HKPD (who are overwhelmed with cases)
>plot goes deep into the cliche corporate paranoia politics of the genre
>all throughout the story however, an increasingly disturbing series of events that follow the prediction of Nick Land's 'Meltdown' will start to occur
>later murder case is swept aside as the book turns into a horror-scape of accelerationism and AI bringing about the 'end times'

I just want to scare cyberpunk/steampunk-kitsch plebs and possibly darkly enlighten them.

>MC is a straight-laced guy with a crush on his neighbor

Okay

>"angels" vs "demons" backdrop
>too many fucking characters, mostly humans and through a human perspective
>too much fucking plot, it'd be like giving you a brief run-down of every individual story of the Old Testament, ever.
>Towards the end, you discover that the demons are actually just monsters, the angels are fallen angels, and that those obscure creatures that humans call "elves" are an endangered species of sentient beings, remnants of a once highly-advanced race that had decided to terraform the now-medieval world they live in, and let humans, angels and lesser fauna and flora breed freely, but that their civilization degraded on this planet because the angels wiped them out, and that afterward the demons showed up and almost wiped out the angels and humans. Also, their home planet was wiped out by a cataclysmic meteor shower event.
>the current leader of one of the angel factions is actually an amalgamation of one of the "elves" and a fallen angel that gave his life-force to save him from a human-borne pathogen that his immune system couldn't handle. He currently plays god by trying to cultivate humans whom are one of the two necessary ingredients to controlling the angels. He also had a bad history with the other angel faction, who control their own human nations in attempt to topple him. A lot of bad blood involved.
>every nation is trying to survive against these fucking demons
>an actual God-backed angel comes down on his own behalf because he wants to redeem the aforementioned leader of angel faction.
>human, angel, and elf characters dying left and right.
>other humans are trying to just move as far away from the nations that are besieged.

>a motley group of courageous, reluctant, and unwitting men and women manage to reach the demon leader and rip out his brain.
>demon's body is a parasite with its own brain that is trying to find its head-brain, manages to find a certain former antagonist half-demon half-man character to reluctantly serve as its brain, by hooking itself to him.

>that aforementioned angel faction leader is reprimanded, but only after a lot of main characters are killed in a four-way showdown.

>Fantasy setting
>Goblin lives his life, trying to keep his place in a goblin society.
>Humans loom on the fringes, threatening their survival.

Holy shit this is garbage of the best kind

Thanks user that's exactly what I was going for

That last twist is incredible. It's great sequel bait as well as being retarded

I'm not sure if I actually want him to make it to Syria or just get stopped at customs

>secret group of christians and neoplatonists send a man back in time to witness the dawn of consciousness

>humanity progresses incredibly quickly ane convinces itself of manifest destiny, destroys alien civilization as they are far more powerful

is this the worst thing ever guys?

i get the impression that you understand very little about biology

I hope this gets published.

thanks! i can't write it because i'd need to study linguistics of proto-language, anthropology (not the meme sociological kind), more religious texts, etc. to be half as competent as the idea demands.

i wonder if this problem is a major concern for authors—that they need to study non-fictional works in order to fully realize their stories.

>tfw just came up with an idea for my magnum opus
>far too good to post on Veeky Forums for criticism in case it is stolen

i guess ill be doing this one myself

>tfw you post your idea and nobody even responds
At least it won't get stolen, r-right?

>there, bored and looking for any sort of meaning for his sordid life, he scours the prison library for philosophy
He wouldn't be bored in prison seeing as he'd be getting the everloving shit beat out of him everyday. Prison isn't friendly to pedos.

I take it you've never been in the system before.

I stole a couple of lollipops in another life.

I was locked up in a blue state. The system there had plenty of havens for SOs. And some of the places they are actually the majority. It's all about how good your behavior is. The only places pedos can't go to are low sec camps, which are off-limits for them and lifers.

>And some of the places they are actually the majority
Interesting. If you don't mind me asking, what did you do to get locked up?

this premise actually sounds kind of cool to me as long as you can tighten up everything after (and including) the plot twist, which seems a little loosey-goosey.

idk if this one is intended as a joke, but yeah, this would be a definite purchase for me. would read, 100%.

>Fantasy
>Backdrop is a land with a history of a native people being driven from their lands by an invading kingdom
>Main character is a descendant of the natives, attempting a hermit's life after a disease took his sister
>Is approached by his people's "conquerors", asking for his help
>The natives had inherent abilities, his is something of a clairvoyance/dowsing combo
>He's basically key to locating the leader of a rebel faction and discover his plans
>Agrees to help at the price of of riches and a title
>Put into a small team with the function of efficiently getting through rebel bands and traversing the hostile landscape
>Consists of a master swordsman and his student, a wizard that specialises in manipulating the weather, a beserker, another native with healing abilities, all led by a disgraced nobleman's daughter

I'm putting a lot into the lore behind the natives and the things they left behind, make them more mysterious. I really want to emphasise how they're key to most of the conflicts and revelations in the story.

how were the natives driven from their land if they had wicked esp

This sounds like something I'd write

Here's one I'm working on:

>Boy grows up in an isolated post-apocalypse town on the edge of a region known as "West"
>Its a little bit like the Zone from STALKER but more trippy and less bleak at times
>An old man comes and lives with his family, basically becomes his grandpa
>Grandpa gives him a manhood complex, maybe molestation or beatings or something
>The Zone starts to expand right after the boy reaches manhood, swallowing up the boys town
>The boy is the only survivor
>The boy ventures into the West for reasons he doesn't really understand. Over the course of tbe book he gets raped, fights wild animals, accidentally kills a kid, and kills a bunch of cultists and nudist savages. He also gets a cool dog that he almost beats to death after a bad mushroom trip.
>He gets all fucked up mentally and physically as he goes. By the end he's only going on because he's convinced there will be some kind of revelation at the end of his journey that will explain everything and redeem him
>Eventually he reaches the center of the West. Reality breaks apart and he meets the heart of the West. Book ends abruptly.
>It is hinted at that since the West is infinitely complex and both hates and loves him, the boy is sent back to his village and is his own grandpa. This creates an infinite cycle in which the West gets to keep him forever, but he is trapped perpetually in his journey.

I finished the first draft yesterday. 30,000 words so far but I'm going to edit in additional events and flesh everything out so it'll probably end up at like 50-60k. It's not nearly as edgy as my summary makes it sound.

Fuck I meant to say "the West expands" not "The Zone" I'm a fucking idiot

it would be a fantasy novel
wrinkle in time core

>Welcome to Sandland, something akin to North Africa, the Middle-East, and the American West
>We got cowboy mercenaries riding dinosaurs with magic and guns while kangs fight pseudo-WWI in the backdrop.
>We got little dino-people to the south doing magic shit
>We got some biblical exodus shit to the north; mages and shit.

It's a concept more then a story, but I defiantly want to expand into it a whole lot more.

It was mostly a numbers game, also partway through the war, a few folks kept dabbling in magic they couldn't handle. Namely shit that involved spirits and things that could fuck with reality. So they had a large invasion force to deal with AND "fires" that were going on in their backyard.

Sorry it took me too long to reply. Just got off work and was tired.

>antigone set directly after the American civil war

That actually sounds like a comedic masterpiece

Go on.

>Context is years before the start of the story woman discovered she was lesbo and took her youngest son to Southern California while abandoning her oldest due to the fact that he's a Mexican asshole like his dad.
>Youngest also turns out to be homosexual. Washes up with the river beaten to death.
>Oldest has to leave his adult ass life in Northern California to play peacekeeper between his macho dad and his hysterical mother while also looking into why his brother got beat to death.
>The answer to the mystery is meaningless and kind of obvious and at the end of the day his dad and mom learn nothing.
>Entire story is about how the brothers turned out. In a violent and hopeless environment the older brother became a self assured by necessity adult living a quiet life and the younger brother living in a loving environment that encouraged him to do whatever he wanted crashed and burned horrifically.

>Disillusioned youth starts a psychedelic cult focussed on crafting sublime experiences
>Begins to pursue further hedonistic experiences in the attempt to feel connected to the universe
>Still working out the rest

At the moment all I know is that it will be set in a small coastal town, the kind of place people come and never leave. I'd like to work in some surreal, almost magical encounters, such as a seer who haunts the industrial area and a junkie that claims to see into a parrallel universe

Sounds like garbage trying to be profound, tone it down some.

>character is trying to find a girl he saw once.
>everything is cyberpunk and a bit weird
>everything is a comic exploration of the nature of "identity"
>other character is lost and being chased
>spends most of his time questioning the nature of reality and if he can draw any meaningful conclusions from his experience
>third character who sort of contradicts all of it just in the reality she inhabits and appears to cohabit with the other two despite it being impossible
>her situation is equally strange but she doesn't really question it, just gets on with life.

Do you remember that guy who posted on /b/ that he was planning to go and kill Osama Bin Laden, then a few months later got picked up by the police in Pakistan or something, he'd gone out there with a sword?

It's a work in progress. I really have just started working on the actual plot around a month ago, before I had written a short story with a vaguely similar plot, except it was a different time period and the main plot revolved around the entity figure.

But anyway, thanks man!
