>absurdist comedy about a funeral as told from the perspective of the coffin.

easy voice for this one, feel good about it

>>2856354
>An esteemed hat maker with an obsession for button collecting gets accidentally involved with a conspiracy revolving around terrorists and his mother.

couldn't figure out a way to introduce tension or ambiguity well, but hey that's why i'm doing this!

>>2860328

whoops here's the text

>>2860080

on it now

>>2856332
>nothing

and

>>2856564
>'!'

cheating to do both of these at once? i write you decide. fair and balanced.

>A little boy and a little girl become best friends as children, but the boy gets into an accident, has his soul/consciousness/nervous system/whatever transplanted into an android body with a new face and partially wiped memories.
>Years later, the girl finds the boy again and has no idea who he is, but they become friends and he always talks about these obscure memories he has about the girl when he was younger and not a cyborg.

one of the more fun ones so far, and hey no dildos! which is always a plus.

>>2856303
didn't have the heart to go on

>>2856307
skipping this for now unless you can translate into more sensible english (and unconsumated sausage, what?)

>>2856319
saving this for tomorrow, going to sleep for now (i wake up in four more hours) and i'll resume again then. cya tomorrow lit!

>>2856288

couldn't quite stick the ending to this one, unfortunately

>>2856303 is next

>>2856435

it should be pretty obvious where i got the idea from if you've ever read Oryx and Crake

>>2856284

afraid that the ending of this might be seen as a little too similar to the one i just did

>>2856288
i like this one, let's see where it goes

>>2856358
unfortunately i lost all of the writing i've done since last winter in a hard drive crash about a month ago. this is actually the first time i've written since. :/

>>2856281

Surprisingly hard to write, guess I know for sure I'm not into that now. Good luck getting me that bonus.

>>2856284
up next

>>2856275

done. i probably rewrote the description of the sandwich about six times, just couldn't be satisfied with it unfortunately. hope you like.

>>2856281

working on this one now.

the one last may was a success I think, so let's try it again

anything goes

>>2624776
>There are lots of really hot women, from all different ethnic groups (but not black) and they happen to be locked in a room by a sadistic kidnapper and forced to have sex in front of a live audience or else they will be murdered one-by-one and the corpses are left in the room (make sure at least 2 are murdered, maybe the black one and some south asian).
>They are reluctant and hate it at first and continue to hate it but purservere and find that the h8 makes them even more turned on and they rip into each others backs with there n8ls and the blood mixes with the dead sluts blood and in the background you can hear the hooting and hollering of the live audience jacking off and panting and you can see the h8 in da grls eyes and da smell of da ded bodies all naked and mootil8ded on da ground.

well this is gonna be a short-lived thread if this is all I get to work with

>>2624752
>A college girl goes home for the weekend to find her younger brother is throwing a party. She meets a girl there that she finds interesting, as she is sort of standoffish. They end up having sex.

alright, here's why this is hard to write

1. her younger brother suggests he's in high school if she's in college. otherwise why specify? if he's younger by only one or two years then it's not all that interesting of an age dynamic and again, why specify?
2. if it's a high school party that ends in lesbian sex obviously it's a beer/pot scene not a confetti/cake scene. which means parents aren't present.
3. "to find" implies she didn't know the party was happening. why's she coming home then? did she not know her parents would be there?
4. no one in college wants to party with high schoolers, much less hook up with them. why's she hanging around and not visiting old friends?
5. the lesbian is stand offish, which means the college girl must have initiated and pushed the conversation. again, what's her motivation here, she's around a bunch of high schoolers.

of course, it's the writer's challenge to try to overcome these obstacles, but if you've tried to write it seven times and failed, I think you should start questioning your central premise and think about if the actions (and subsequent motivations that they suggest) you've dictated for the characters are really all that plausible. obviously you know what you have in mind better than I, only trying to give some advice.

working on this one >>2624752 which incidentally also covers this one >>2624746

>Orson Welles: Spy Smasher
I don't really understand this one so if they give me a little clarification it'll be up next

hello again /lit/! I personally thought the last one was a lot of fun, so let's see things go this time around, yeah?

same caveat as last time: how interesting the results are depends on what you give me to work with. go!

and with that I'm afraid I am done for the night. Sadly tomorrow I must begin preparing for exams, and that means that this thread is likely done. thanks /lit/, may we meet again soon!

>The deceased spirit of Nancy Lammeter from Silas Marner reflects on her religious beliefs and the effect they'd had on her life.

I'm familiar with neither the novel nor the character. Sorry to disappoint.

>>2599007
>A babysitter is snooping around her employer's house and finds a disturbing photograph...

getting a little annoyed myself for ending stories in the same manner so often --

>>2598923
>science fiction: two men are stranded on an alien planet when suddenly a beautiful woman emerges from the dust storm.

While writing I forgot about the word stranded, sorry. Anyone else notice the word association recently? first I'm writing about boners then I'm writing about space boners and now I'm writing about space.

>>2598804
>a man gets an erection in space

>>2598699
>A man is recollecting his rape to the police, and during, realises he is a homosexual and he loved every minute.

well, this is what you wanted, right?

>I disagree with the conclusion. It seems you were building upon a theme here. Hopelessness to begin with and reaching into despair, which the ant on a mobius strip captured well. Yet, in the end all he wants to do is forget.

Well, I'm all for "after you've written what you've written you should shut the fuck up and let the readers think what they will," but for what it's worth I think the ending IS one of despair. He's praying to forget because that's what he wants, because he knows it's going to haunt him, that he's going to relive those moments over and over again.

I think a large part of what makes the despair so poignant, too, is that it's their own fault. The second paragraph establishes this idea of them feeling like outside forces are shaping their destiny and that they're helpless, that is, things are being done to them, they aren't actually doing anything. It makes them fall into a kind of paralyzed inaction that prevents them from reaching any kind of real closure. THAT'S what is keeping him trapped in a cycle of regret.

But, once again, I really really really don't like artists trying to force some kind of meaning into their work after the fact (let alone while they create it) so take from this only what you like and leave the rest behind.
