Who wants to help me write my breakout novel · 4:03am Jun 15th, 2015

Seeing as I'm unable to continue writing fanfiction for this site - not necessarily from lack of want, but because I haven't proven to be a very good author on this site, and readers always seem to want to read something else - I might as well work on something else. Sorry to those of you who wanted to see the continuation of Hawkeye Delicious and Terminus, the creation of Markiplier Saves Equestria, and other stupid cringeworthy ideas I had for stories; it looks like those won't be happening anytime soon, if ever.

It's okay, though. You've still got plenty of apparently better writers on this site that will entertain you with their stories. I'll most likely fade into obscurity, remembered only for my freakouts, my feuds with famous authors, and my silly profile pictures.

Ah well. Not everyone can be famous. Or even liked.

But in the meantime, unless by some miracle I find the spark to start writing pony stories again (and people actually read those stories), I'm going to work on a bigger, more serious project: my first novel.

Man, I've been going back and forth on this shit for years. Hundreds, maybe thousands of ideas, drafts, outlines, most of them scrapped or abandoned. I tried every genre, from horror, to fantasy, to post-apocalyptia, but nothing seemed to stick. I kept getting distracted and depressed because I never felt like any good would come out of the shit I wrote. So draft after draft, idea after idea, went down the drain.

Now I seem to have found a story that I can work with and actually continue. For how long this will last, I can't say. I might wake up tomorrow and say "Fuck it, I don't want to do this shit anymore." It wouldn't be the first time.

In the meantime, it seems to be sticking. And I'm happy, because this may be my most ambitious project yet. Although that's not saying much, given the shit I've written in the past.

But that's not all! Now, you can help! Sort of. Well, first let me give you a few details.

For my novel to be good, and in order to get proper perspectives on different issues, I need:

1) A young post-college millennial suffering from depression and ADHD
2) An overworked, middle-aged businessman
3) A black British nerdy kid
4) Two adolescent lesbian lovers
5) An old fundamentalist Christian woman
6) A college mascot
7) A white police officer
8) A registered sex offender
9) A biracial Hispanic/Caucasian woman
10) An old homeless black man

Now obviously, this will confuse most of you. But it will make more sense in the overall story arc. And while I can fulfill some of these requirements, I'll obviously need others, preferably all from Atlanta. But since that's an extremely unrealistic expectation, I figure I might as well just ask for moral support, that maybe, just maybe, I can actually write something that a lot of people will read.

Or maybe a few people will read it and it will lose all notability like most of my crap.

We'll see.
