After killing the man who usurped his father's throne, the heir to a kingdom has to reconcile his own sins and estimation of his worthiness to rule with the reality of a world that largely disregards his preconceptions of law and honor.
For the setting, picture the aesthetics of Burroughs' Barsoom stories, but set on Earth ~1500 years after an apocalyptic war.

Interesting so far. Is the protagonist's preconceptions different from his kingdom, or is it just that his kingdom and him are different in their notions to the rest of the world? If it's basically him and not the kingdom, how did he come to have a different code compared to his people?

When he was young, his father put great emphasis on the importance of law and codes of honor, as one might when raising an heir, but then Dad got stabbed in the face and the 10-year-old prince was banished into the desert wilderness to die (which of course didn't go to plan). Between that and 15 years of exile, most of which contained very little human contact, he's still stuck with a child's understanding of the "absoluteness" of those traditions. He was never really exposed to the reality that sometimes people ignore what is Right in favor of what's necessary or simply convenient.

A boy meets girl but society stands in their way

[Anonymous No.20599064]

In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, an autistic loner protagonist enjoys the month-long power outage and severe infrastructure damage and their social consequences in his New Jersey coastline town. An increase in general social cohesion and neighborliness during the day gives way to his participation with organized bands of looters in ransacking the town at night. He also meets a girl whose house was destroyed, and despite his autism, her recent traumatic experience and general state of fear render her vulnerable to his clumsy sexual advances.

Based on a true story and dedicated to my uncle Ted.

Fantasy scifi hybrid with slowly collapsing empires in both genres

[Anonymous No.20599100]

The story of an animal trafficker who sees the capturing of exuberant exotic creatures and the selling of them to the über-wealthy as a form of art on its own. Told entirely in poetic prose that often describes beautiful nature or meditates from one philosophical musing into the next, most of which dealing with themes of man's relationship with animals, the material world, god, music, art, naturalism and more, verging into truly schizo moments of transcendentalism, gnosis and pantheism.

an indigent kill the president of Colombia

[Anonymous No.20599204]

A half-breed who may or may not be a rape baby scrapes together an existence by leveraging his size and capacity for violence, which leads him through various social milieu. He feels that this is tarnishing his soul, and is self-conscious that he is regarded by many as a monster, so he seeks to redeem himself. While serving as a scout in a civilizing mission, he witnesses a senseless and cruel barbarism from the men following his trail and decides instead to save the primitives from genocide.

Setting is fantasy, close to low renaissance in setting, so the stasis common in the genre is upended. With that is the recent development of gunpowder, so even the basic conceptualizations of heroism are being challenged.

So basically, it's biblical end times and this one guy with amnesia is found by an angel and recruited to kill the anti christ's father. it's also post-apocalyptic because most of humanity is in these matrix style bliss machines. anyways, the guy recruits a tactical squad made up of catboys including this on russian catboy who is referred to as a faggot by the angel from earlier.

by the end of it, the main basically gets killed via suffocation, but since it's end times nobody can truly die because revelations 9:6. So he is taken to eden and rebuilt into a super soldier and his head becomes made of marble stone, because his head was crushed. it's also around this time his memories start coming back and it turns out his dad was the one who put humanity in all the bliss machines. the catboy squad turns evil and while the russian catboy is inserted into a agony machine.

Actually, that sounds bitter. Your nitpicking is correct, thank you. My excessive, and at times clearly improper, use of commas is something I have learnt to recognise and repair when revising. I mention Americans because anything I wrote professionally was in that country and besides my general, non-american spelling, I had seniors who would circle the commas.

It's a pair of fantasy novels told from 2 perspectives at once, for a total of 3.
One is that of a young man, who after causing a mine collapse that killed his father is forced to flee his hometown. Accompanied by his half-elf aunt, he is hunted by the Empire that ruled over his homeland (and the entire continent as a whole). He eventually finds refuge in a tribe of Orcs, over a thousand miles from his home. His actions in their settlement starts a chain of events that sets him on the path of leading a rebellion to topple the Empire.
The other 2 perspectives are two brothers, both part of the Empire's most powerful family (aside from the Imperial Family ofc). One is a wannabe tinpot dictator, intending to sieze power in the Empire for himself, and overthrow the increasingly politically weak Emperor (who can shapeshift into a dragon but dragons are reviled by the common people, and nobility, of the Empire.)
The other is his elder brother that, while a military genius (the best in centuries), is a metaphorical Kool-Aid-drinker for the Imperial narrative and propaganda. He views The young man and his rebellion as an existential threat to all civilized peoples, that must be destroyed at any price.
Since it wasn't conveyed, the Empire's predominant Ethnic group is lizardfolk. The upper classes are almost purely reptilian.

This guy who suffers from hypersomnia (he's always drowsy) questions what "living" is, because he always feels like he's constantly "sleep-walking". He has vivid dreams, and he sometimes doesn't know whether something has actually happened or whether it was another one of his dreams - as dreams and life mix together in his memories. Sometimes he wakes up from a dream, and then he is actually inside another dream.

He finds little value in the pleasures most people indulge in, because everything in reality appears the same to him. He has a hard time empathising with other people because his life is so different from everybody else's. A lot of people also just see him as a retard because of his drowsiness, and because hypersomnia is a rare condition nobody can understand.

It's a story about him trying to figure out what he wants out of life, considering his condition and the fact that he essentially views life as one great big dream. He gets caught up in a bunch of gambling, because the adrenaline rush makes him feel like he's actually "living". While he actually makes money off of the gambling, he ultimately ends up losing it because the drowsiness catches up to him and impairs his ability to think rationally.

Oh yeah, and I'm thinking of him trying to take Modafinil for his condition. The problem is that I have never taken Modafinil before, so I don't have a proper understanding of how it feels. I'm considering getting some imported cause apparently customs don't care, and the research I've done on Modafinil is sorta vague on how it feels.

I might have him experiment with other drugs, I'm not sure yet and I've hit a roadblock. I don't have confidence in writing about drugs because I'm not a druggie

[Anonymous No.20599835]

>>20599822
It might ruin it since it completely treats the condition. Modafinil is basically the “patch over your shitty genes/parents and feel how normal people feel” pill. It works on everything from sleep disorders to depression to bipolar to schizophrenia.
The easiest druggie arc would be having him start with success with adderall, then start taking it not as directed and spiraling and getting brain and cardiovascular damage.

[Anonymous No.20599854]

There's still going to be some people that get bad reactions to it, but I suppose if I do that I'd be pushing it to far as a story about some really unlucky guy. I wanted to avoid the Adderall route because I thought it might be too predictable. I'll do more research and get ahold of some Modafinil first.

Set in a decimated, poverty stricken America. World is wracked by conflict and ecological collapse. An impoverished factory worker ends up in debt to a shady agricultural company that deals in slavery and human trafficking. When they discover he won't be able to pay them back, they force him on a mission with contracted mercenaries due to his skills as a mechanic who can work on their weapons and vehicles. The catch is that his debt stems from financing his best friend's medical care.

From there, the plot revolves around the gradual degradation of the protagonists morals, as the mercenaries are mostly cutthroat sociopaths that are willing to do anything to get paid, while the protagonist is willing to do anything to clear his debt. Thus he ends up sinking down to their level, doing whatever depraved actions they deem necessary to further their mission. The protagonist attempts to justify his actions throughout the novel by telling himself "this is all to save my sick best friend", while knowing deep down that he is on a selfish mission to free himself from his responsibilities.

We've actually reached the point already that if our industrial capability were largely destroyed, we'd have a very difficult time of regaining our current status even if knowledge were fully preserved, because the most easily-accessible oil and coal sources are depleted. Gone are the days of crude oil bubbling up out of the ground of its own accord. There's plenty of that stuff left, but reaching it requires a substantial pre-existing industrial base.
That said, society in the book has recovered quite a bit, though it exists in a world with a thoroughly ravaged ecosystem and poisoned oceans. Resources are scarce, fertility is barely sufficient for population growth, and the war wiped out more than 99.9% of the population. Most of the occupied world is feudal, with some freehold cities scattered around. The upper classes are fairly well educated.
Humanity at large is actually in a very good spot, but moreso in space than on Earth. The space-dwelling portion of humanity is highly technologically advanced, more populous, and generally thriving. They have a policy of strictly limited communication and intervention with Earth. Their culture is transactional and highly honor-bound (they are everything the main character was raised to believe Earth society was), so in exchange for the oxygen and nitrogen they skim from the upper atmosphere, they consider themselves obligated send down "gifts" of machinery that seem almost magical to the people on the surface. People on earth regard those from space (who they call Olympians) with near-religious reverence, and know basically nothing about them except that they sometimes come down to distribute wondrous items and frequently refuse to speak while doing so. The main character's father (and his dynasty) was one of literally three people on the entire planet who could radio up to the heavens and expect a reply.

Mecha vs angels
Not anime inspired, not videogame inspired, not an "action" story.
The story follows a secular group of young adults that find their spirituality in a time where earth is "ruled" by a parochial race of interdimensional beings called "Watchers".
Watchers resemble biblical angels and are alluded to as being such.
The group grow spiritually as they discover the religions of their ancestors and combine them with the high technology of their modern human era to... eventually... destroy the watchers and reclaim humanity as a sovereign species.
The story will include elements of Judeo-Christian mysticism, Western Mythology, Hermeticism, Gnostic tradition, and ultimately serves as allegory for man's unceasing strive towards truth.
Any interest? I've got the first two chapters started(about 80 pages).

Plot: Paranoid schizophrenic fiction about a guy running from the Demi-urge. He has an intense obsession with metaphysics and ontology but he struggles to find a consistent phenomenological system to justify his beliefs. Confusion is prevalent, making way for constant contradiction. Intense moral hangups. An ouroboros of identity crises, webs of cause and effect. Torn between both worlds of the unconscious and waking life, he spirals into confusion often. His free will, his subjective perceptions.. his moment to moment, unconscious everyday behavior comes into question.

After dipping into the occult and a secret mystic order, he further descends into madness.. Rituals.. gangstalking.. otherworldly beings.. his last hope to ascend or escape, may also be a hallucination..
