Creative Writing Thread

I figure we needed one of these. Nothing overly emo, plx.

I wrote this in English today. We were supposed to be inspired by one of the paintings in his room (that was only one of the possible topics that we could write about if we couldn't think of anything). It's a pretty famous painting.

Hopping along, we felt the pangs
Of unsatisfied hunger.
"This place looks good," you informed me.
I decided to oblige and to settle
for the dim beacon.
Seemingly simple, so far as we saw,
The waitress looked on us in
Hesitant welcome.
The man at the corner
Seemed to be happy
With his malted milkshake.
I wish we'd hopped farther.
Still though --
At three AM, anything tastes good.
Even if it looks like a shoe.

I finished a manuscript back in December. 100ish pages, 60000ish words, unedited. That's big enough to be our new profanity ®®®®®®. I'll send some copies out when I get my hands on it. Right now, it's in a desk at home, waiting for its first edit.

[Jabby]

Whatever the reason, anally raping my own three-year-old daughter was not as enjoyable as I thought it would be.

wat.

Harry potter gay furry fanfic? :V

[Psion]

Psion ®®®®ty poetry go!

I sat on the naked bed, smelling of pot and B.O.
and, taking off my socks
(grey and yellow, argyle),
I thought of you:
Barefoot, Mother Nature, sockless
And how wonderful it would be
for us to rub our dirty feet
together.

there's some stuff in there I like. But using "together" as a last line is really cliché.

I'm a knife...Knifin' around... cutcutcutcutcut

I didn't write that, but I wish I had. :(

Star Trek (J.J. Abrams-verse) plus Twilight furry BDSM fetish crossover fanfic obv, get with the times

no

It's a weird sci-fi horror yarn. A Gibsonesque what-has-science-done story with more of a psychedelic flavor.

[Hallways of Always]

Sounds interesting, but you still lost points for referring to it as a manuscript.
I didn't want to call it a book

Books have spines

You're a few years late on that.

Still, Aldous approves.

This is definitely some creative writing. :huh:

[Psion]

This is definitely some creative writing. :huh:

I'm pretty sure it's better classified as analytical writing.

That's not fair, I was a very ®®®®ty writer a few years ago. D:

Island is one of the influences I had in writing this, though, so it may be of interest to you

:D

I haven't read Island yet, but Shady mentioned it a couple of days ago.

[Jabby]

I like to think I could get into nearly any college in the US solely based on comparing and contrasting the Island and BNW.

Not like there's a table of it on the wikipedia article for Island, to which you don't even have to scroll down.

SCREW YOU NEW CRITICISM
haha i got this because the entire last quarter of my english class last year was devoted to that.

the previous three were mimetic, pragmatic, and romantic.

But yeah using Huxley's growth (and the growth of his drug intake) would make for a pretty keen analysis.

[Shadow]

oh

this reminds me

I tried a thread at WM where I would attempt to improv short stories based on user generated ideas to try and work on my writing, since I actually haven't written any fiction in awhile. Would there be any interest in a thread like that?
How about people misread the thread and then just post stupid spam in it.

You know, just like last time?

[mrs_bun]

Even counting me. :V I would be interested in this. And would also be willing to not be interested if that's better.

[Shadow]

You're kidding yourself if you assume that the average reading comprehensions and intelligences of the Source and WM are the same.
I was trying to knock the average user of WM.

pick up on this please

[Tidal Kraken]

I should have deleted the ®®®® out of posts in that thread.

[LegendShark]

In all fairness you were awful at explaining what the thread was about.

[Hallways of Always]

Do it, Shady.

[Jabby]

Can I join? And then we can compare our short stories? OMG IT WOULD SO FUN

[LegendShark]

I suppose I was a little ambiguous, but my theory is that the first retard posted incorrectly and everyone else followed their lead.

It was a forum full of lemmings, if that's what you mean.

[mrs_bun]

Wrong; the lemmings should have followed him, in that case.

THE ANALOGY ISN'T PERFECT GODDAMNIT.

[mrs_bun]

I think by not perfect you mean perfectly illustrates the problem (and by analogy you mean metaphor :V)

[LegendShark]

:V

[mrs_bun]

I meant that first part seriously, though.

[LegendShark]

I know.

And by :V, I meant... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwsosycSveI)

nvm pt. 2

[mrs_bun]

Lmao, that's good. Is that you, or from something?

it's me

[mrs_bun]

I like it a lot. It's clever, and then it seems like it's too clever for its own good, and then I feel like that's the best part. Did you write it for anything, or just kicking it around?

It was a paper for a class- we had the opportunity to do a creative project instead of a formal paper so I kind of blended the two together.
