Listen just because my underconfident and socially awkward bug lady protagonist joins a ragtag multiracial fantasy airship crew and finds a human bf among them who uses their tramp freighter gray market status to undercut East India Company type resource gathering firms and deliver anti-ship weapons to tribal lizard folk and the world is kinda shitty because they’re discovering capitalism and discovering how if you just pass laws against racism it doesn’t magically stop racism and also there are factory worker rebellions happening back home in the West doesn’t mean I have some sort of agenda
This is shockingly close to the novel I’m writing
Vaguely pseudo-victorian whateverpunk usually has themes of social change at their center given that the 19th century was full of revolutions and new political ideas and science and people finally figuring out that making sick people bleed on purpose is a bad idea
I’m sure anyone could look at either one of our stories and go “whoa just like Treasure Planet/Perdido Street Station/other vaguely similar thing”
Actually, mine is hard sci-fi but themes of social change are common there as well. but my book specifically has a female bug protagonist who joins a multi species crew and falls for the human.
correct me if I’m mistaken, but I think it’s a condition called “having read China Mieville syndrome” and I also suffer from it, I’m afraid
You got a patreon or something?
No I have crippling self-doubt and chronic pain that prevents me from getting my shit together enough to write properly

I saw you deleted this but I know you meant it to be supportive and I appreciate that
I gotta show up and say “I support it”.
I’m hyped! I want more gritty airship fantasy books. If you got any recommendations I am all ears.
For what it’s worth I would totally read this.
People keep telling me this but my brain is like “you’re a horrible writer and you suck and you’re unoriginal and nobody will ever love you and your death would release others from the burden of your existence” and tbh I’m sick of its bullshit

Heinlein has entered the chat and immediately received a ban
It’s perfectly normal to write a story where a guy who is totally not you has a harem of secretaries/submissives who serve his every need and listen obediently to his political opinions
Estrogen could have fixed her.
Mormon posthumous baptism except based
Listen, there is no shot that I Will Fear No Evil was written by a cis man.
book where billionaire has his brain transplanted into a woman’s body and struggles with integrating her identity and then is literally born again in the body of a newborn girl that integrates all prior identities character has had
I’m sure it doesn’t mean anything
Hold on let me look this up
[Looks it up]
OK yeah no way that was written by a cis man
Possibly the most egg book of all time
(looking at my story where a catgirl has magical powers and lives in a communist utopia) uhhhhhh
You can crossover with mine where the hunky vampires all went socialist because they see it as the only way to preserve an orderly eternity.
and mine where all sorts of animal like people fight capitalism (and the occasional other thing) (i have 2.2m buff dragon people with several meter long tails, they are way more cool then your hunky vampires) (i love my worldbuilding thing)

Look just because I’m trying to figure out the DnD equivalent of 9/11
My Lord, a second nautiloid has hit the castle walls
I like how the Disco Elysium writers did historical materialism in the world building. There’s the central conflict over the strike that sets the stage for the murder and Harry’s story, then you have the revolution/civil war and the coalition airships hovering in the background enforcing the counter-revolutionary order. So class struggle is at the root of everything else in that world. It’s like you can decide you want to tell a story rooted in a particular class conflict, then the dialectics of the class conflict help you elaborate the rest of the world, it’s an interesting approach.
Don’t mock my furrtocracy, pheasant (the lowest social class in Squirrel Hooters world)
… that feeling when like half your characters are over 2m … and are commies… doing a revolution…
i feel personaly attacked
Choose these:
-
Dominant fish women
-
Killing fascists with your comrades
-
Communism with a focus on intersectionality
Best possible combination ✨
where does a neurodivergent obsession with geology fit into all this?
Idk but I’m certain you could wedge it in somewhere and it’d be rad.
For maximum neurodivergent obsession with geology try Kim Stanley Robinson’s Mars trilogy.
Good books aside from the bad parts and how all the women are either aloof sex goddesses or neurotic bimbos or spock-ish engineers with breasts. Not the most skeevy books I ever read but mans never seems to write women well.
I like Hiroko and Nadia
The dominant fish women live in the center of the earth.

Embracing it is what made Eminence in Shadow so unironically fun to watch instead of just being edgy cringe

CW: sexual content
I honestly don’t know what kink I was venting when I came up with the idea of vending machines selling disposable fleshlights disguised as knock-off soda cans, complete with public health messages in place of the list of ingredients; where the idea is that after you nut in the can you can close it back up and then put it in a reverse vending machine to get sorted and sent to some sperm bank for use in IVF, epidemiology, medical research, demographics, and forensics
Like, that definitely feels like the sort of thing that would come from a kink, yet at the same time I do not think there is a single soul on Earth who finds the idea of nutting in a Mr. Peter and putting it in a TOMRA machine to be at all arousing
OK, TrashGoblin finds the idea of nutting in a Mr. Peter and putting it in a TOMRA machine to be arousing, more power to him

user reports: Seems kinda orientalist ngl
I think I’m gonna remove this
Here’s a question, how can an oriental be orientalist.
Do you really need it explained to you how being part of a group does not preclude one from being prejudiced or biased against that group, or from perpetuating harmful attitudes about it? It’s not like discussions of things like self-fetishization or self-hatred are new to “oriental” communities, “self-orientalism” is literally already a widely used term with nearly four million results on Google.
Hell, you literally struck through the words “probably in Japan” in the removed comment, that’s basically the Internet equivalent of “I’m just saying what we’re all thinking” — so I’m sure you already know on some level that “weird Japan” articles showing off things like used schoolgirl panty vending machines are basically just written for westerners to gawk at how “bizarre, hypersexual and loose in morals” their platonic ideal of the “far east” is.
Go ahead and please explain to the Korean how they’re orientalist from a white person’s perspective
Well, I’m not going to talk if you don’t want to listen, so maybe you want to schedule a tribunal with a jury of your peers first… [pops some Vicodin sassy style] [grabs a superfluous cane and gets up] [goes to leave the room] [walks right into the glass door] [opens the door] [leaves the room] [closes the door behind self] [walks off into the distance while rubbing forehead]
so maybe you want to schedule a tribunal with a jury of your peers first
You’re in for a bad time because my Korean peers are going to make my remarks seem as good natured as the Scots making fun of Welsh in comparison to the wild shit they’ll say about the Japanese
okay i have no idea how you came up with that
I mean, I could start with the bit over ten thousand years ago where some lakeside village by chance discovered that they could use the shit of the larvae of a moth fed on a certain type of normally poisonous weed to induce abortions and suppress their menstrual cycles, but long story short: I needed to figure out how to get a large quantity of ｃｕｍ to the sperm banks, without the sperm banks knowing whose ｃｕｍ it is, with the added restriction that people would not under normal circumstances simply give away their own ｃｕｍ for free.
I do not think there is a single soul on Earth who finds [literally anything] to be at all arousing
This is just an objectively incorrect statement
I’m planning a thing that I want to write and… yep, this is pretty much it
Unjust Depths is perfect, actually
Pretty much ngl. Something for everyone.
Ha you can scratch off line one for me because I know how to keep the horny out of my writing.
Are you sure you don’t have a kink for puritan no fun story?
Yep, I know my thingies and I know how to keep them separate from my work.
As the saying goes, you don’t eat where you shit.
it’s called edging and at the end of book 3 the MC nuts an entire gallon
good post!
But should you? Philosophical quandary.
An interesting question concidering the long history of people writing horny shit in their fiction.
Even the epic of Gilgamesh is guilty of having some horny.
The Epic of Gilgamesh gets away with it because it falls under political agenda
Booooo
