get this @UOC and read the two short story collections: http://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?p=3597768

formerly, epic fantasy. NOW, strictly the more literary stuff. Le Guin, Wolfe, Mervyn Peake, David Lindsay, ER Eddison, etc

Seed of Evil and Knights of the Limits

I've grown to dislike Le Guin

she's not bad, but there's a certain undercurrent in her stories

I just take it with a grain of salt. Hare to let my politics ruin a well told story

that with her recent shitlibbery has become distasteful

hate*

yeah, that's fair

Like how the white man for no reason goes crazy to justify killing him in World for World is Forest

I strongly recommend the short story collections I mentioned above

I'll grab it for sure

@UOC I RECOMMEND PLOTTING

I love short stories

THE WRITING ITSELF IS NOT HARD

imagination and consciousness expanding stuff

BUT AFTER YOUR 1-5K WORDS A DAY EDITING NEEDS INCREASE

I'm into that. My stuff always ends up very esoteric

nobody includes enough occult stuff for me since Lovecraft and those guys

I weary of the epic fantasy in a random alternate world thing

with a pointlessly materialist magic system

AGREED

TOLKIEN DID CONSISTENCY RIGHT

EVERYONE ELSE IS RANDOM INFLUENCES IN A BLENDER

SOME HIDE THEM WELL LIKE J.K. ROWLING

yeah seems like good writers bullet point the story out in advance and dial in details

and subplots and crap

I don't write novels but I have other writing I do, I have a few exercises I like for it

well as a learning exercise I'm just outlining books I think have good plots

try this sometime

@diversity_is_racism @Death Strike's Bat why am I banned for ever posting anime yet this guy is posting nigger porn and he's still here

"your niggerporn is fine... OH SHIT HE POSTED PIXELS IN AN ASIAN-ORIGINATED STYLE! OUT OUT OUT!"

@Deleted User 57835c2c I AM THE WORST SYSOP EVER. I DO NOT KNOW THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION. YOU WOULD HAVE TO ASK THE MOD IN QUESTION.

Afro porn is not anime.

okay

nigger dicks it is now

THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL BUT NOT APPEALING

The last chick is hot

DUE TO BEING FROM ANOTHER RACE

But she is mixed.

AND ANOTHER TRIBE
