FAKKU Writers' Lounge

So I read it today after the exam...

Oh dear. I hope you were left unscathed after reading it!

Spare my soul, spirited writer, for I forfeit before I even bother to start.

I also read mostly for the sake of entertainment, that's why I couldn't really stand the writings that bore me to death, or those that I find too hard too understand because apparently the Authors were somehow under the influence of hallucinogenic substances when they tried to be deeply philosophical =D

nah, quality reading is only subjective opinion really. it's just the list I've found on random after browsing the works by Italo Calvino, I don't know how to put him on a specific genre since well...his works do break the boundary of genres! The same could be said for Franz Kafka, I couldn't really put them inside a peculiar bandwagon except for the absurdist fiction niches~

Not exactly weird, it's just...not the cup of tea for everyone, but for someone who desires to read something new would be very welcome for exploring this specific mindfuck genre~

that aside here's what I found as follows:

it could make you sympathize with a cockroach.

apparently you could make a living by landing on a moon and took the moon's milk away by tossing it into your rooftop! that is, after undergoing the rough process of cleaning before you could sell it!

there were tons of weird ass cities in a world where there's a well inside another well, for example

...

well I don't know, I haven't read them all that much because I'm really lazy

I can't wrap my mind around those sentences especially the ones about moon milk and rooftops. Again, this is what one would expect from writers like them.

That said, don't be a spoilsport Pacifica! Every writer has to go through this!

I think I somehow understand why you and some Authors were outraged by what I wrote earlier on Xenon's thread hahaha...

That to be said, these writings are fun to read, but be careful not to let your mind explode by the things they wrote lol

No no. I am not angry. In fact I quite liked what you wrote.

ah okay =D I think it would be safe to say that I might continue writing in this manner =)

^ Yes you are!

I already said my disclaimer that I wasn't outraged by your guys' submissions, I just wish some progress had been made but Leo technically took us back even before my initial post, technically speaking.



Actually, absurd is more appropriate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absurdist_fiction

Wiki: "While a great deal of absurdist fiction may be humorous or irrational in nature, the hallmark of the genre is neither comedy nor nonsense, but rather, the study of human behavior under circumstances (whether realistic or fantastical) that appear to be purposeless and philosophically absurd."

Essentially, you got the idea. I suppose the Boring Boy started out absurdist, but it's up to all of you to give it purpose because although absurdist literature is good for monologuing short-stories, I wouldn't expect them to make enjoyable collaborations.



Just do it, Rise. Seriously, the heroine is your ideal female to write about, looking at your track record. Do it. DO IT!

That ain't the heroine you think you made.

I was also thinking that at some point something has to change about the boring boy and his boring life. At some point, something has to get not boring or else why would anyone care? But reading your post just gave me an idea. Shiro may think his life is unbelievably boring but that doesn't mean it actually is.

just some inspiration, if any of you guys are interested ^__^

I breath life unto the collaboration once again! Though... Now the direction of the story is pretty all over the place.

I made a blank slate with a somewhat tsundere impression, you can make her as you like, but like it or not, it really is your specialty.

Added another entry though at this point I think we're just trying to one up each other with strange situations.

now it's getting even stranger. a triple-layered-dream? oh my goodness xD

But I simply don't like where the flow is going.

That is just abuse of the 'its a dream' kill switch! The reason why I introduced the idea of a dream is because the story can't continue! Not because of the fact that Yui and Shiro are hermaphrodites but rather because High has a written a happy ending for our characters!

Not to worry, surely that can be resolved somehow. May contribute to the thread either tonight or tomorrow.

happy ending? I guess not, there's also a possible conclusion they might be tortured to near death by tentacle monsters! the outcome is not always happy, it's just yourself being too optimistic xD

it's not that hard to follow my train of thought in my posts there, you just have to read between the lines a bit =)
