ITT: Pitch your book

Do you think the book could be kino?

A preacher in a small town adopts a boy who starts having nightmares, which gradually cause him more and more distress. Boy's behavior radically changes and no one knows what to do about it, medicine can't help. Father decides to go on a sort of pilgrimage with his boy and the more faithful part of his church, looking for answers from God. Along the way, he gets terrorized by yokels and his faith gets tested even more until he snaps.

Isn't this a Harrison Ford movie?

it is?

A group of wealthy socialites are trapped in a New York penthouse during the worst snowstorm in the city's history.

It's a shameless ripoff of JG Ballard's High Rise, with a little Lord of the Flies and a lot of edge.

Is it a novella?

Gay and tranny ducks?

That could work. If your idea only included straight couples, then I'd be worried.

I convert a lesbian on a small corner of Yea Forums who I talk intimately with in the wee hours of the night, start texting her, talking to her, and eventually cuddling with her all day and feeling her big thick ass she exercises like every day.

Seriously she bikes and squats every day, that is one of the sickest asses known to man

Oh yeah I forgot the :3

Yeah, but barely. It's just beyond the read-in-one-sitting threshold.

A man wakes up with no memory of who he is.

He would be a true 'clean slate' so you could easily include your ideas on identity and socialisation

On a side note I plan to go *On the Road* if you will, traveling around the U.S and just hitting the road being funded by my family and having a few friends join me, the only difference between me and Kerouac's version is I will be off my meds. So if you can imagine On the Road written by a bi-polar dweeb than thats what itll be like, the only issue is I feel as if im imitating Celine but in modern day.

Nonetheless, I can't wait to visit Portland to see the LGBT cunts float around

2078, the genetic modification of humans had been legalized, but later caused crippling disorders, which will be passed down from one generation to the next and weaken the human race. To remedy this, the Genetic Security Authority is created. In vastly overpopulated Chicago, two agents are tasked with tracking down and capturing citizens with altered genetic code. Those who are proven to have altered genetic code are then "disappeared". But what will happen when one of these agents himself discovers he has modified genes? To escape his fate, he must discover what truly lies behind socio-philisophical movement called Amino.

Story follows a burnout loser who works as a plumber, he spends a week trying to get his cat out of a tree while venting about his life. He dates a trap but ultimately rejects her out of his homophobia caused by his own homoerotic feelings. His cat dies but realizes the world isn't about him and tries to comfort the trap whose life is worse than his.

Bukowski?

Never read him because I'm still butthurt over his "people run from rain but sit in bathtubs full of water" quote

A Hegelian dialect-style story told through the perspectives of several different characters. It would be a commentary on the progress of biotechnology and its presence in the workplace/ life at large.
The first character would be a new employee who works for a massive energy generation and distribution company. He has the company subdermal implant, lives in the company housing, buys his goods at the company store, and socializes with his colleagues and neighbors who belong to the same company. He sees nothing wrong with this, and as a matter of fact, the situation is his ideal work/life balance. He gladly takes on the long hours, the subtle degradation from management, and what would be an unsettling amount of intervention from his employer in his personal life, all because of his sense of duty and convictions that he holds. For this first part, I will go through his day to day life, illustrating the extent of his employer’s grip on his dealings, and the further molding of his mind.
The next perspective explored is that of a self described “anarchist” that is planning the destruction of a large dam operated by the company. His issue lies not with the environmental impact of the dam, but the continuation of the modern surveillance state that is enabled by the dam’s generation capabilities. This part of the story will follow his years long planning stage, and end shortly before his plan is set to be in action, at which point I will change the perspective back to the worker, or merge them and show how the two tales intertwined.

200 PAGES OF EDGY BULLSHIT
INSTANT CULT CLASSIC
FICTION IS FOR PSEUDS

I'd read this.

A group of rebels discover a derelict space craft that houses an AI previously used to wage war. The leader of the rebels transfers the AI to their ships, thinking it can help them win the war against the evil empire. The AI agrees, but unbeknownst to the leader, plans to help only long enough to gain sufficient computing power to take over the fleet and subsequently the human race, to subject them to deadly wargames much like the simulations the AI was forced to run through over and over (which combined with his isolation, led to an egoistic philosophy and an all consuming fear of death).

In the end, through interaction with the humans and especially the rebel leader and the self-sacrifice of the leader for his people, the AI is convinced to in turn sacrifice himself as well and finally overcome his fear of death. The rebels, now free, make a religion out of the events to honor their memory.

I know it's garbage, but for now, I'm having fun writing it.

Remove the second paragraph and rethink what happens with the AI. The idea itself is good enough if done well.

So it’s a Shakespearean tragedy were everyone dies because they could’ve just stopped their madness and didn’t?

>her

An epic describing how one man rescued a great ingdom from the ashes of a terrible defeat and returned it to glory.

To have any hope of success, he must first root out the secretive, malign influences that brought his country low in the first place...

You mean the ending? Why? What's wrong with it?

A story where progressive social engineers try and use algorithms to groom the world into the progressive left wing utopia they want. However, the way they go about it is creating an algorithm that seeks to maintain order because they believe their opponents are nothing but disorder. This results in an algorithm taking control and spreading across the entire world that actively fights against its creators because it sees what they want as disruptive and what their enemies want as stable.

The idea came from that one face recognition algorithm that pissed a lot of people off by labeling trans faces as their biological sex. I thought it would be funny to have a story where an algorithm goes rogue and creates a living hell for the people who created it but a paradise for the people who it was created to stifle

Swordsman journeying back to the village he grew up in, is pulled aside by imperialist soldiers. They almost fight, but a dragon attacks them. A mysterious and adept woman helps him hide. They arrive at the village only to find it razed to the ground. He investigates and finds out that his childhood sweetheart was the one that the antagonizing war band came for.

This would be pretty good, but with the political bent switched for something less topical.

Twilight but everyone has a horse dick

It's cookie cutter stuff, also you'd have to be really good to make a survival-driven combat AI sacrifice itself without some serious ass pulls. Maybe have it win by subtly manipulating the rebels and playing them and the empire against one another, only to see the desolate, resource-spent world it created for what it is, but only too late, and only then maybe realize that its philosophy was wrong, I don't know it's your plot but the ending you suggested is hard to pull off and imo quite unrewarding even if you do.

My idea is a variation of modern Britain with the significant difference being that other species of human have survived and co-exist with us - homo erectus, homo neanderthalensis etc. There's obvious opportunity for lots of race metaphors (inter-species marriages, species segregation) but I really want to explore what constitutes 'humanness' and whether our perception of what differentiates us from the animal kingdom is disrupted by the existence of other human-like beings. Haven't really got a plot in mind, nor a narrator. I'm not sure if I want to write as a homo sapiens or erectus, and how I'll approach the concept of family. I think I want to present it like a day in the life sort of thing. I'm gonna start it after I finish my exams in May

No.

Sure sounds like it.

You don't know who dies.

I would appreciate being compared to Shakespeare.

If they are to survive, then intermarriage is inevitable. All populations will have various amounts of mixing, and less intelligent man will end up in serfdom.

You might have groups analogous to the Basques and Saami, or the Irish and Welsh. You might allow Doggerland to survive to the present, with its own system of dikes.

Nothing wrong with shilling your own wares, so long as you don't spam it.

Going for a "dark YA" vibe, but is it too edgy?
>Starts out as a basic animal-can-talk thing where a girl who as no friends at school becomes bestfriends with a rabbit who lives in the woods outside her home, and she secretly feeds and nurtures the rabbit, sneaking to and fro so her parents (goingt hrough a divorce) don't find out & the rabbit is giving her adcice on how to talk to the popular girls and stuff but then when the rabbit becomes sexually mature it slips into her vagina and impregnates her with its rabbit milk and starts gestating inside her but she can't tell her parents because she's too afraid they'll find out and eventually the girl swells up like a hotair ballon and explodes sending rabbit maggots all throughout the school which in turn impregnate all the girls in her class and her teachers and suffocate all the males and this becomes a chain reaction so that most of humanity is either females exploding with rabbit maggots or males choking to death on rabbit tadpoles ('rabpoles') which is beginning to send the earth out of solar orbit until the protag shows up - a grizzly ex-cop who lost his penis in an explosion and so is immune to the contagion because he's neither male nor female

A philosophical and political treatise that will wipe the floors of this insane mess of a country. Will be incel bait but not actually aligned with incel ideas. Applied ethics and virtue ethics will be central themes. I'll likely only write if I pursue my PhD. because >muh ethos and credibility.

Story of a young man who discovers his great-grandfather's journals, which contains the detailings of adventures in another world. Enthused by this colorful description of a fantasy world, the young man follows instructions on how to find the portal and steps through into this fantasy land. There he finds himself in the fantasy world but not so much as his great-grandfather described. Instead of magical fairy lands and great kingdoms, he has stumbled into a world of neon lit cities where gatherings of different creatures have been stuffed to live our their daily routines. After finding this strange world, he tries to leave, but leaving proves to be difficult as being an unregistered citizen brings unwanted attention from a sinister force that identifies him as a foreign being. He befriends a goblin, and through circumstance the two try to find the young man a way out of this nightmare world. The further his journey takes him, the more he comes to realize this nightmare world is deeply connected to his real world back home, and eventually he comes to unite the many hidden peoples and creatures of this Nightworld from complete subjugation by way of the dark force that has built these neon cities. This grand adventure is marked by hazardous treks, kidnappings, war, rebellion, slavery, love, and great sacrifice, and by the end of it the main character comes to find that his great-grandfather was in fact a great catalyst in trying to find a way to free the peoples of the Nightworld from the dark force of the neon cities. Through some tragic fate, his great-grandfather was unable to fulfill his quest and was left to remain in the home world until the end of his days. So it was up to the young, slightly underdeveloped man, to step up to becoming a hero and fulfilling his great-grandfather's work. At the end of the story, he returns home to find that his own world has indeed changed much like the Nightworld has, but he is left wondering if it had changed because of what he changed in the Nightworld or because of himself changing through his adventure in the Nightworld. It's a sort of coming of age story that hearkens much of the dystopian, science-fiction, and fantasy stories of the early to mid 20th century.

The premise is too outlandish. I think if prehistory would be restarted thousands of times, assimilation of neanderthals and cro magnons would occur every time. Our large brains and height simply makes us naturally selected for. I would be on board if sapiens sapiens diverged 10,000 years ago into even more physically unique races, like 13 ft tall South Americans or East Asian dwarfs.

What, too deep for you?

For people that have a mental illness, be it severe depression/anxiety:

Keep a journal with every thought you have, every situation you encounter and also write down every emotion you feel.
At the same time start reading; get into philosophy, psychology, religion; be it Stoicism or Christianity, whatever you encounter.
You will inevitably experience some change and this will be reflected in your journal entries.
At the end, hopefully, you will beat your illness and this would also conclude the book.
Maybe you can finish it with a "10 years later" chapter where, again hopefully, you found whatever makes you truley happy.

This book would take several years to finish for obvious reasons but at the same time I think it will capture nearly all aspects of life: be it love, society or life in itself.

My idea is about a bike that gains consciousness and is purchased at a pawn shop by a little foster girl. Thing is the bike was owned and or used by a bunch of famous people. (Einstein, Tesla, a Nazi and other cooky people) The bike wants to return to Europe so that he can be ridden one last time by a now Old woman who used to own it years ago and that they have a promise to keep. This Foster girl helps this old rusty bike and rides it across Europe (before the jews flooded it with muslims and trash people) having interesting conversations with the bike and learning about the old world and the bikes travelsh and thus earning a better outlook on life.

The book ends with the bike being ridden by the old woman and the Foster Girl saying good bye. But as she goes home she stops in a country antique shop and buys a sentient Hat and this sets up the sequel (The trilogy book being about her finding a sentient watch)

As the story progresses, the main character notices more and more physical changes with the people in the town, until the preacher's final speech, when all who were listening and believed him turn into grey blobs.
