/lit/ - Literature

I did not like the Lord of the Rings books. I think the movies are pretty great.

I pretty much exclusively for entertainment, so I mostly read science fiction, fantasy and romance. I've purchased a large quantity of superhero prose novels for Christmas. I haven't touched anything related to philosophy since college.

I'm currently writing a fantasy romance novel about a tsundere warrior princess and an awkward but loveable knight. The princess is based on various crushes I've had over the years and the knight is an idealized version of myself. I don't anticipate any level of success. I think the only people I'm going to share it with are my therapist and a friend who also likes reading/writing.

I was sexually abused by my dad until I was 16 and I was able to move to another state with my mom. Because of this, I have a deep fear of sex and sexuality, which is why the novel is extremely juvenile. The characters just kiss/blush/hold hands, and nothing even approaching sex is even hinted at.

I'm nothing without my job. I have no girlfriend, no social life, and spend all my money on entertainment and useless bullshit. We're working on this massive project and if I don't get shit done soon, the entire district network could come crashing down. I've done overtime almost every day the last two weeks and missed two weekly appointments with my therapist, but I don't know if it will be enough. The thought of being a NEET makes me want to inflict harm upon myself.

My dad sexually abused me until I was 16 and my mom and I moved to another state. I'm finally starting to realize his treatment is a big part of why I'm a complete pushover. I'm absolutely terrified of my boss. He could say the sky is red and I wouldn't challenge him on it.

I'm writing a fantasy romance novel. It's extremley juvenile and I don't anticipate any degree of success, but I think it'll be cathartic to finish. I think my therapist and one another person will read it.

I accepted during my teenage years I'd die alone because I'm ugly as sin, terrified of women after years of humiliating experiences, and utterly petrified of sex because of years of sexual abuse at the hands of my father. I started reading and writing romance fiction to simulate the experience

When I was a kid, girls at school used to hug me at random and tell me they loved me. I eventually found out they would dare each other to hug guys they found especially creepy/ugly and I was a prime target. One of them also started a rumor I was stalking her because we both walked home and lived on adjacent streets, after which most of my friends stopped associating with me. I've spent around 500 dollars on custom girlfriend audios and started reading/writing romance fiction to simulate the experience

I sort of based it on Frozen, except in this case the Anna is a tsundere and the Kristoff is shy and awkward
