《What's This Fiction ? A Very Incomplete Project.》Will you please ?
Advertisement
Writing is a choice, a decision, a will. You choose to write, then take the actions required for you to write.
Then you write. A story in particular or anything which passes by your head, or using a precise set of instructions, or your life, or whatever.
It doesn't matter how long you write, how much time it required you, the length, the depth, the style...
What matters is that it is a way of expression and creation, as any art form is.
As such, I'd like to express my gratitude to all those who have read it. And I specially call out to the two persons who followed this story and the one person who gave me a rating.
I have no way to know who they are, just as I have no way to know who has read this story. As such, I can't call out to specific names or usernames.
I have some ideas about of who they might be, of course, but it only concerns me anyways.
But I'd also like to issue a complain to you all.
Why don't you all comment ? Having returns on your story, ideas, corrections and criticism are a critical way of improving a story and encouraging it's writer.
I won't beg for those things nor ask for them. I am in no way a mature writer and this is not a mature "story", either. If it is even a story.
It is a melting pot of ideas, a channel for my imagination and desire to write.
I won't ask nor beg for comments or reviews, or ratings, or followers, or favorites because you all are free individuals, and you know those things are here and you're also free to use those features, or not.
Those things hinge on your own decisions, choices, wills. What I'm saying is I'd like to have comments.

Not even reviews, just comments. I have always interacted with stories and their authors via the comments section, as such I hold it close to my heart. Ratings ? Reviews ? Followers ? Favorites ? Private Messages, even ? Those are good things to have, but they aren't essential to a story. Not a true way for a community to interract with itself and the author (or translator). They give viewability and tiny ways of interaction and criticism to the story, at most.
Meanwhile, comments are generally things of a few words, lines maybe, sometimes paragraphs for the truly brave or truly foolish. A few lines or words condensate your meanings and intentions, and is a less intimidating read for the common commenter.
But, it's really just they allow for everyday internet interaction and communication. Which is why they're my preferred way of interaction, just leave your little words here, and know some people have read it, maybe that it'll at least be of some use or amuse them. Or at least show your support. (Or pride as being the first to comment, I don't judge.)
I don't really fear cluttering here, so far I have had exactly 172 views for an average of 34 views per chapters, and just a few chapters which are at most 1 or 2 pages each. Not a very impressive score, and not one which would net me much comments, I will admit.
I still would like to have some.
I really don't understand how some writers write pages upon pages in just a few days or even hours, it's almost impossible for me, it doesn't flow that well.
The words don't just suddenly transfer from my head to a white sheet, and my inspirations do not suddenly pass from ideas to a complete chapter.
Meaning : Writing is hard.

Meanwhile, I'm weak. That's why I need people to support me, doing it by my lone self is a complex task, and not that fun. It's interesting because I haven't maintained a coherrent line of ideas for a story since ever, but damn does it require work.
And work is my bane. I hate work.
So I'd like for it to feel like just another fun thing I do on the side, like reading, commenting and playing, do you all understand ?
Interaction is a key feature for this.
I know I'm laying it thick here, but I have had this want bottled up for a bit too long.
So yall damn better comment, or I'll beat yall to a pulp. No, less than a pulp, the only thing left of yall will be the basic particles composing you all, yall will be reduced to mere particles.
I'm willing to act on my threat. I have ways.
What ways ?
Well...
I am the one who writes here, am I not ?
I have total control on what I can do, and what I cannot.
Oh, on the subject of writing, I do actually have things I wrote for this story, in the style of the short few lines or paragraphs I wrote of little ideas that I had (or totally improvised, depending on which). But I have reserves about of them.

Prophecy Approved Companion
Qube is an NPC in an AI-driven VR-RPG who avoids her scripted death and blithely continues following the Player, trying to make sense of the normalised nonsense of Fantasy RPGs and accidentally glitching out the world in stranger and stranger ways as she seeks to be the very best Childhood Companion ever. It’s a loving parody of old school RPGs, high fantasy, and every gamer who has ever thought “what happens if I do this...” BOOK ONE COMPLETE. BOOK TWO ONGOING! Updates Tuesdays and Fridays. This is essentially a first draft, so I welcome grammatical corrections etc. Discord: https://discord.gg/XGr5DTN Cover by: https://www.instagram.com/pengwen.l/
8 503ROACH- rising pestilence
A weary mind awakens in an unfamiliar body, lost, confused, scared, and very far from home. He doesn't know where he is, he isn't sure what he may become, and his stomach growls hungrily. But he knows one thing. He must feed and he isn't too bothered on how, only when. Through his struggles to survive trying to take his place in this world. It, the world will be forever changed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My first story here so let's do it! hopefully with flying colors. (This story is not about an insect that goes on an edgelord, death rampage, so those who came for that, know now what you are reading and stop rating down thx, still, some murder and mayhem is involved) Feel free to critique, I will be checking on reviews and comments every now and then to see what others think of my writing and how I might adjust it in the future. (although I'm also doing this for fun so don't get your knickers in a twist if things don't change to your liking). (Know that even if you comment/review that doesn't mean I will respond or that I will take your advice, after all, I too have my own preferences). A chapter tends to come out every fortnight, however sometimes it may be sooner or later, It depends on how lazy I'm feeling or how busy I am. Ps. A friend of mine drew the cover art, appreciate its homebrew goodness. PPs. serious readers may want to read the author's notes as well. PPPs. If you rate down please say why, I want info, not merely ratings that don't tell me anything, preferably in comments, so I can try to best satisfy my audience, or at the very least understand their reasons.

8 139The 48 Laws of Power in Practice
Discover how power works in the world, through true stories and real-world applications. In the game of power, we all play - as either conscious or unconscious players. So we can't afford not to know the rules. The ** chapters have the most outrageous content. In each chapter, I will be summarizing one of the laws and how it can be applied to current events and pop culture. Some of you have told me the stories are what you enjoy the most. They are real, raw, and anonymous so that others may learn from my mistakes. There will be cringe-worthy stories of self-sabotage, but perhaps also some unlikely triumphs. Some of the details are changed to protect the innocent, (or perhaps guilty). "The 48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene illustrates truths about power, through philosophy and lessons from three thousand years of history, which still hold true today. There is a lot to learn from each chapter. I encourage you to go on this journey with me by reflecting on how each law might apply to you. Together, may we learn from the past and take control of the future.
