I'll never manage to write anything

[FeralSmile]

I can't do that, because that will spoil the plot.

There IS no plot if you've given up entirely on writing, right? What is there to spoil?

[JaxRhapsody]

Yall still trying to help this vapid fuckwit?

stop feeding the emotional vampire.

Fair point. But... I'm the only person he's responded to (in the short history of his account) with literal anger; I feel ok about replying, knowing I'm just opposing what he's doing.

I think you'll need more than a few shots if you're planning on trying to help this troll.

Nice work, today.

Doing something small like a poem.

In order to do something.

What a good idea.

Thanks. All honesty, I woke up one morning with that in my head, wrote if, submitted it... and forgot about it lol.

Oh my word! You’re right. It’s Colin.

I get names by selecting names from google 'most popular names' (year) Since I usually have an image in mind in my stories...

My Allie characters are tiny blondes
Cassies are busty blondes and alpha women and not short
Jennifers are mid height small to medium chest
Julias are busty with dark hair
Amber blonde with small bust
Brittany's are usually cheaters but may have or may not a good point or two about them. Usually somewhat alpha
Madisons are remorseless sluts

Plot twist @JohnSm123 is the plot.

 

[StillStunned]

Plot twist @JohnSm123 is the plot.

Plot twist: the novel he's writing is about interactions on an erotica writers' forum. Now if only he could think of some names....

Oh, I know how to hit someone with deadly force. Is there any other kind of force that counts?

I've never hit anyone with any kind of force, so I wouldn't know. I don't think I've really seen it first hand either. What struck me about that scene is how Vito finished with the gunshot in the mouth. I assume he must have heard about it from other people in his neighborhood?

 

[SimonDoom]

One could just name everybody John, like in Buckaroo Banzai: John Smallberries, John Big-Bootay, John Whorfin, etc.

stop feeding the emotional vampire.

Just in time for Halloween.

How specific is your plot that character descriptions will spoil it?

Come on, just be brief and describe them without plot points.

Hay now rein it in before you stirrup trouble.

Hay now rein it in before you stirrup trouble.

I'm going to hurt you in excruciating and delightful ways.

 

[theWollstonecraftWoman]

I thought you meant the other kind of 'quick blow.' Yeah, the butler with a mallet would probably be quicker, though undoubtedly less satisfying.

I'd bet, real money, the butler would be very satisfied.

The man was a loud-mouthed braggart, demanding tribute without continuing to earn his position. If we're talking about Godfather II, which I think we are.

 

[MillieDynamite]

It's okay, I do that shit all the time. I usually love your comments, wither I agree with them or not, so a misplaced one now and again ain't no big deal.

Oops, sorry. This got posted in the wrong thread.

Yes, that was true of Fanucci, the guy killed in Part II. But ultimately, the message I see in mobster movies and TV shows is that they are all criminals (including the Corleone family) and none of them earned their positions. They went out and took what they wanted through violence or the threat of it. They can't even trust each other. And their impact on the rest of society is a negative one.

 

[MillieDynamite]

You nailed it, which makes you wonder why everyone pulls for the bad guy in so many stories, TV shows, and movies.

It's not quite that we pull for them, but they are just so - interesting? How did they get that way? Is there a little of them in all of us?

This started as a joke about putting John's thread out of its misery. Somehow we wound up here at post #123.

I thought he was writing a medieval fantasy. I don't think there'd be any Jedis in his story, but then again, you never know. Could be Princess Leia is also a time traveler, in addition to doing an incredible job of filling out a bikini.

Medieval times was a long time ago, right?

Let the hate flow through you...
