Stories I'll Go To Hell For Writing

His tampon truck gets hijacked and basically it's a big chase story with a tampon truck. I'll have to rewrite it a bit to add a horror element...

LMAO.

warning: my reply may contain things... not good. as always, i strongly suggest you just skip my post, but now in particular. it's a side of preyer you might not like. or love, i don't know how weird you are. if you're the kind of person who claims to be 'crazy' or 'insane,' hey, great, but you're probably far from it in all reality and might want to just skip this reply in its entirety. (no offense to people who claim these things, it's just been my experience that on average people who say this stuff are pretty tame storytellers.)

NO limits would be better, except for those where people eat babies or just go in for nothing other than shock value. lest ye all think i'm not still plunking away on my challenge, i am (though smack dab in the midst of buying a business makes it hard to do the 4K words a day i was doing), and it's got a part that's definitely one i'll have to explain to God, i think (which is almost par for the course sometimes. yes, i'm bound and determined *never* to be published).

oh, i think i could write some things as long as i can use any damn language i want. i'm just blown away that here, on a writing board, i find one of the most stringent language filters just about anywhere. you'd probably find a few people who still think vampires drinking menstrual juices straight from the source is original and/or shocking.

i was just kidding about the warning really, i just wanted to stave off anyone who might be offended somehow by the menstrual thing. i really didn't believe people would be able to resist reading this far if there was a warning attached, lol.

you're going for a certain gross-out and shock value here, eh? as long as you insist that there's an actual story involved and not just some rough draft ramblings, i'd be willing to consider doing a story. and as long as every other story is about a vampire. man, those are almost always lame....














enjoy,

preyer

let us know what you decide to do with it, eh?

My husband also is determined to never be published. The book he is writing...well...I'm pretty hard to shock, and sometimes I just wince at it. He'd kill me if I gave anything away, but he has brought in just about every touchy subject known to the Western World and sliced it wide open. The creepy/interesting thing is that he is actually giving a logical balance to it and believable reasons for why his *hero* is misunderstood.

I'm dying for him to finish it!

i did something like that once. got about 3/4 of the way through it when i accidentally erased major chunks of it off my old brother WP. it was called 'sex cop,' and it was my intention to make it the worst book ever written. bear in mind this is coming from a guy, moi, who says i'll never do a photo for a book unless i'm naked in it, not because i'm particularly hung and want to show off (or am I?), just that that's the kinda guy i am for some reason. at the end, there's some silly justification for why gawd comes down and does what needs to be done (though it's not a DEM ending, per se). more power to 'im, i says.

*grins* sex cop. The mind wanders........

at the time, oh, about 13, 14 years ago, it was a kinda cool idea (or so i thought at the time) to have the future be pretty damn idealized so crime was at a minimum, though it was illegal to genetically create living creatures simply for sexual purposes. besides the worst acts of sex with freaks i could imagine, it was incredibly violent. everyone who could afford it went around with penile implants that rotated, vibrated, did a 'wave,' etc., while the bad guys were gassing a stadium full of orgy-goers just to get the good guys. those are the tame ideas, trust me. (chick with four boobs is sooo lame. i went out of my way *not* to have any of that b/c as a pervert well on my way to degenerence, i'm better than that.)

that was back in my 'anything to shock' people phase. not that i didn't practice that a little before that and certainly don't shy away from it now, that was my tour de force of profaneness and vulgarity just for its own sake. *but*, i did try to infuse a little story in the mess.

I dunno about any of those subjects condemning a horror writer to Hell...Well...condemning -any- writer to Hell, actually.

Isn't the goal of writing to blow open preconceived notions anyway? Okay...it's for entertainment too, but you get my point.

Me, on the other hand...-will- be going to Hell, because I've taken a break from writing my original novel (which is horror), and writing a fanfic.


Now -THAT'S- reason to be condemned to Hell!

well, if george lucas only knew what i did, he'd condemn me to hell, i'm sure.

i've done my share of fanfic. hey, it's fun. of course, me being me, i had to go overboard. i've read some really good fanfic. no good harry potter fanfic, but a few decent star wars. i've had my best luck with indiana jones fanfic. in any category there's a terribly disproportionate ratio of good to bad approaching something that looks more like lottery odds. you don't tend to find many decent writers who knock out a solid fanfic.

I've got a friend that writes some really good Harry Potter/Buffy crossover fanfic. Oh, and as if that wasn't enough, it's yaoi, so there's all kinds of stuff going on between Spike and Draco Malfoy. And Angel and Sirius Black. And Spike and Angel and Draco and Sirius...

It's pretty hot, actually.

crossovers aren't my thing, but cool. if it's any good, it's only a shame there's not money to be made writing it. maybe i've just not looked at the right places, but 'potter' especially seems to attract bad writing, probably due to the age group of the core audience. it's funny, but with as much as you hear about HP being why so many kids read, nothing is ever (at least i've never heard it) mentioned about how it spurs a lot of kids to write, also.

Harry Potter/Buffy?! I dunno...at least there are -some- similarities (ie the supernatural element...although one is more magic than the other).

Try Cowboy Bebop/Fullmetal Alchemist. (Talk about being completely opposite of each other)

I've seen alot of CBBP/Trigun crossovers (most are bad), which makes alot of sense, in a twisted way.

I'm going to be really evil, and attempt a three-way (crossover! Get your head out of the gutter), in November, for NaNoWriMo. Picture CBBP/Fullmetal Alchemist/ ST:TNG.

Yes, I am losing what's left of my mind...why do you ask.

WIP? What WIP?

*snickers*

Well, if it's any consolation, the end of this month means putting the fun stuff away, and working on the WIP, then participating in NaNo the next month....and then -back- to the WIP.

If I keep going like I have been this month though, the WIP will actually see alot of progress. And if the progress is really good, I might just "accidentally" forget about NaNo. Which will make the WIP fall under the category of "the fun stuff".

I did do something worthwhile recently, though....I withdrew 'Helen's Eyes' from Gothic.net (they were having alot of site issues), and mailed off a hard copy to Analogue early this month.
