I'm working on a short story now basically picking up where FAHRENheit 451 left off. WHEN It is ready I'll post it for constructive criticism. IN THE MEAntime I'd like to read any **** any of you ****s have **** out.

Interesting idea.

I'd take part in this thread myself, but I don't really like sharing my work online, unless it's with family, close friends and such. I dunno really. I'll just stay on the fence for now with this one anyway.

It'd be cool to see what anyone else has though.

I''ve been working on a story I came up with, which was initially inspired by a dream I had.

It dosen't really fit any kind of genre description, but it takes influences from film noir, westerns and exploitation. There are also fantasy elements (hard to explain) as well. And there's a lot of black humor.

It's about a high school girl who can best be described as nerdy and angry at the world, and often indulges herself in fantasies.

Which I dunno, makes her a little similar to.... somebody you know.

Anyway, she gets caught up in a bizarre sex/murder scandal involving a friend and a teacher, which leads to both a tragic loss and her being wanted for murder.

This abrupt chaos that comes into her once mundane life drives her insane, but at the same time excites her, while running from the law she assumes a new indentity, drastically altering her appearance through plastic surgery (funded by robbing banks with a few accomplices) becoming an ulter violent vigilante, and she basically becomes a parody of hypersexualized comic book and exploitation film heroines.

Well that's a short summary of it. There's a lot more plot elements to it though, I'm not making everything up as I go either, I already know what the climax will be and everything, though I expect to get more ideas as I go along.

I haven't thought of a good title yet.

I write constantly, but nothing linear or cohessive.

I think most writters are going to be concerned about plagerism and such. I think it might be a fun idea (to avoid that concern) to review other works. We tried doing that before with books, but it was a train wreck because people have things going on.

I think we could do it with short stories (like Flash Fiction and whatnot) or poetry. Let me know if you'd be interested in something like that.

Just a thought, but how about uploading our doc files to mediafire and exchanging them that way? It can be like the music trade thing we've got going on.

I think it's a great idea, however there is the whole fear of plagiarism. There's only a select few people who I will actually sent my word documents to, the rest either get them as .pdf files or in the form of links. I'm all for a Writing Thread, perhaps done the same way as the Art Thread in the lounge.

Yeah, I posted the first two chapters (which is really all I've done so far) of my story on DDD but I've reworked them since then, you know how you write something, come back to it in a few months and realise it's crap so you redo it?

Anyway, I do agree that you shouldn't be careless about putting your stuff out on the internet just so anyone can see it, because if someone plagiarizes your sh*t, what can you do about it? Absolutely nothing, you don't have a copyright on it, sh*t is free for the taking on the interwebs.

I'm not boasting that my work is really worth stealing or anything, but you never know.

When I find time to write I usually end up planning a masterpiece but then never following up on the idea.

In my breaks in the coffee shop I've sketched up an idea of a young troubadour walking so far that he ends up in a magical part of the world that no one has yet discovered. I haven't laid out the plans for characters etc, but I know that it will involve a character based upon a blind man who I served yesterday that, even though he was blind, still managed to somehow stare at me as I cleaned up tables around me. He was fascinating to look at with his trilby hat and tatty blazer.

I've written maybe 5 short movie scenarios since I entered Filmmaking University. I'm working on one now, and this time in English, so I guess I'll be able to upload it here if it turns out to be somehow watchable.
