Damn Creative Writing class. I'm supposed to do a short story draft by tomorrow. As if being sick & extremely exhausted was not enough, I honestly don't know what to do.
Oh, sure, I had a couple of ideas. A prequal to the shit I'm writing now & a story about medieval politics & a crazed, destructive wizard. Problem is, I can't really use either of them. The story is supposed to be self-contained, & my other idea came from an RP (which we* jokingly call "collaborative fanfics") of Final Fantasy Tactics, so yeah.
*=Forum with me, Harley, & people you don't know.
So, the short version is that I need some ideas. Failing that, I need some ideas on how to make one of the ideas I already have workable.

Harley told me he once ripped off the Jenova Project for a homework assignment, actually.

Pick up a copy of JD Salingers "For Esme with love and squalour" Then plagiarise the shit out of it changing names, modernising things, throw in an Ipod somewhere. If you can put in a reference to JD in it as well.
If you get caught, just say it was an experiment in post-modern reconstruction, like a tarintino film noting that you payed homage to the author in the story.
If you don't get caught your english teacher is a semi-literate cracker and you should make fun of them

If you just need an idea, I'd just pick something, and make stuff up as you go along. Okay, so this kid in the woods is a Ninja.. he's running from Bears... The bears are super-intelligent because of a chemical spill.. See, something like that. |

Davedan: Your. But really, I'd rather not plagiarize shit. If I didn't have a problem with it, I'd just go with my 2nd idea.
Purimpopoie: I might be able to do that.
The good news is that I'm excused from school tomorrow, so this won't be as much of a rush job as I thought it was.
The bad news is that I still have a million other things to do. Oh, & I'm still sick.

Wow - pedantic crackers aren't you. I suppose that last line was rather heavily pregnant with unintended irony though

For teh funs: Create as much disturbing scenery as you can. You'll either get told to do it again, or you'll get a huge A.

Okay, so I went with my idea that was basically a fan fiction, & I presented it as such. I'd rather be honest & look like a jackass then dishonest & look like a plagiarist. The story itself resides here: www.writerscafe.org/writing/Lithp/487165/I think I might make a topic for that site alone. Anyway, yeah. Not sure if anyone wants to read it, but I thought that I'd give you the opportunity, since I asked you for ideas to begin with. |
