Basically you come here talk about what your writing or something like that
Oh, cool! Thank you!
So what are you writing?
@ASongofJoy some people post work here too, typically as a PDF which then gets pinned to the channel usually by IsobototheHobo
Interesting. What kind of fiction do people here write?
Idk. I’m not much of reader outside of chat text, required reading for work, news, and very occasionally a couple chapters of a book. Rare, books.
Ah. Got it. Thank you!
There's poetry, there's fantasy, there's regular fictional stories as far as what's pinned
there's some fan fics of the SFW variety
How about works that have been published?
Yep. I've posted one or two.
Cool!
@ASongofJoy Hello, welcome to the server. I usually hang out in here or in <#801170149855723540> . If you write anything, post it here, I'll be happy to give it a read.
Alright, so Six Five.
I had an idea based on something that actually happened to someone close to me.
Y'know how I'm always talking about Post Trauma? Reason I know so much is because something happened to someone close to me. I read up on it because I wanted to understand what had happened to her.
Alright, so the real life version of this is: A woman close to me was having problems with her relationship with her boyfriend. I figured this out through my sister, because my sister and I knew her growing up. One day she like totally cuts me out of her life, I wanna know why. Just out of the blue, this woman won't respond to texts, calls, anything.
And so I eventually after a year of this I say like "Y'know, I've offered that whatever's happening in your life, you can trust me. But you still haven't gotten back to me, so I'm ready to just delete your number and forget you ever existed."
hey trow, im done. Whats up?
So my sister calls me up, and she has my friend's boyfriend with her, and they offer to meet me at the coffee shop to discuss exactly what's happening.
Boyfriend got suspicious when he heard my friend was making up lies about where she had been. He starts asking her questions, but she adamantly maintains that she was where she told him she was. He asks the phone company for records on her cell phone, and there are naked pictures of her with two other men. But there's something wrong in the pictures. She won't face the camera. Every time there's one of these pictures, it looks like she's hiding her face on purpose. So this doesn't seem to be...something where there's total consent.
So the police get involved. Turns out, these two guys were sexual predators, and they had actually dug into psychology to intentionally provoke PTSD in the people they went after.
holy fuck
They used psychological techniques to lure women to places where they would be vulnerable, then used PTSD to make sure that they would black out once these things started happening.
Remember how this woman adamantly insisted that she hadn't been lying?
yes
She wasn't lying. Her brain would not let her remember the trauma.
So it made up memories as to where she had been.
damn... I believe it, but holy shit.
tell me they copped thos fuckers that hurt her
They did. They found DM's and messages between these two guys and some websites online.
Explaining how to do this to people, how to identify the people who would be the most vulnerable to these kinds of techniques.
damn. psychological "warfare", for lack of a better term, is so fucked.
Right.
So I had an idea for something in the story. But I'm not sure it's believable.
care to run it by?
I'd love to hear it
So, you know much about WH40k?
Well, basically the universe is a blend of Science Fiction and Fantasy. Anyways.
brb
aight, sorry, my teacher was asking me some things
didn't mean to ghost you
