ye I've been working on it a while now
my book is about 17 year old ricky he moves to the metropolis of Rodane City, Indiana (like a neo-Chicago) as his parents can't afford to live in the suburbs anymore. It's his first time going to a public school, as he's been homeschooled his whole life, and he gets bullied continously, he gets thrown into detention for doing nothing, and is bored out of his mind in class because it's tests upon tests upon tests. He eventually makes friends with some punks after they help him fight off his bullies, and show him life is much more exciting than just school.
I feel that Ricky, I feel that
Then the school starts to really crackdown on them, and they decide to runaway to a run down part of the city, and start a squat. It's difficult at first, but they become quite nortorious in the neighborhood. So much so, the police attempt to burn it down, and one of their friends die in the fire.
oh shit
ACAB my man, ACAB
Thus sparking riots across the city, and an anarchist revolution ensues.
WOOOOO
The revolution drives the cops and swat teams out of the city, and the fascist government altogether. It ends with the gang paying respect to their fallen comrade.
The Irish revolutionary is somewhat of an Anarchist in my book, somewhat of a libertarian marxist
That's a pretty awesome story
That reminds me of the Danish "BZ" culture.
thanks man! I've been writing it for four years, since junior year of highschool
I feel like I wanna get a red and black star tattoo
i've only finished recently
I can tell you put a lot of work into it
it's awesome
You gonna publish it?
maybe, YA is still pretty hot on the market, and dystopian books are going to explode
i'm thinking of starting a kickstarter or gofundme so i get my book into libraries and schools across America
obviously once it's done
yeah, i'm not really sure how that whole process will work, but i'll cross the bridge when i get there
would you like to be my alpha and beta reader? I could really use the help after I edit the first draft
@danman1950 why don't you make an author reading podcast with commentaries and suggestions ^___^ in here
@Firefly of my book?
yeh
that would be nice
and fun
I might want to start a youtube channel
where I explain political topics and stuff
like a commie crash course
@dontchewglass I like a live discussion
it would be, but the editing process would probably take even longer. And usually I need people who are experinced book readers and writer to make suggestions
@dontchewglass we do the same exact thing on our channel
@danman1950 which channel?
Red Star Videos
Is there an invite?
it'd also look good on college applications if I did something educational and creative like that
i made this on differing psychological perspectives on fascism https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5n8kbBSqu0
does having a youtube channel count as an extracarricular?
