lets say i am writing a fiction and i planned the ending ahead (cuz i believe it s good by research) but somehow now my content is now locked to the ending so it has to be within its "logical" realm

kinda like fight club, which has ending defined in the beginning of the movie and the rest follows…

so…how do i,say, " infer" the content

from that ending, moment to moment, character by character and so on,…. so that my story can follow the end cohesively into a logical story and maybe also satisfying?

are there sort of tools, formats, that has been used to solve this since time beginning cuz .. idk literature is old?

Any fans of Vox Day here? His Castalia Library leatherbound classics series is vertically integrating, gonna build its own bindery.

http://voxday.blogspot.com/2021/08/building-bindery.html

Supporters of the crowdfund can order copies of the first books set to be made on the new presses, Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey, which will be specially branded Castalia Bindery. The Library quality books are set at $250 each.

https://arkhavencomics.com/product/the-iliad-library-edition/

https://arkhavencomics.com/product/the-odyssey-library-edition/

Better heeled classics aficionados and supporters of an alt-old tech reskilling can order the Libraria Castalia versions of each edition, in goatskin, for $1,000 apiece.

https://arkhavencomics.com/product/iliad-libraria-edition/

https://arkhavencomics.com/product/the-odyssey-libraria-edition/

The goal is to sell 500 copies of each book by the end of August to fund the Castalia Bindery. But there is no hard limit on the books until the campaign concludes August 31, so there are a few weeks to consider and save up before diving in.

Pic includes some of Castalia Library’s previous editions. The new bindery will allow an even higher standard for future volumes.

Mishima? I’ve read his Forbidden Colours. An interesting look at the homosexual underworld, and the contempt homos have for breeders. Mishima himself was homosexual (respectably married to a woman) but shows well how homos form a parallel society inherently antagonistic to familial society.

i guess this is all mostly about "good feeling" but im trying to write a story and naturally somehow with the ending defined like the graph, i naturally expects anything before the "end"

to be canon and refers to the end of sorts, but i could quite find any logical idea about it means i cant evn choose a single fucking scene to write that will allow the end to be an acconplishment of sorts…

how do i deal with this?

i keep writing everyday but this thing remain unresolved like i will get somewhere and retcon things which feels troublesome

help i need a model to help connect these plot points to the ending so it feels good to do

Can anyone point me towards a magnet torrent link to a penguin graded readers mega collection? I live in Vietnam and its impossible to get hold of the original books here.

I'm an English teacher and my students live to immerse themselves into the classics.

Alternatively point me towards a board for downloading books.

I've tried to find the li k ở line,but I'm being swamped by fake links

Thanks so much in advance 🙏🏼

> Can we talk about how drastic a shift Dune: Messiah is from the first book?

Is that the second book? I couldn't keep on reading it, got bored with it quickly. Recently started the prequel to Dune series and those have more of the same feel of the original Dune. Gurney Halleck's backstory and the Ixian resistance story are pretty good. The baron is an out and out monster who keeps on getting away with it. I don't understand how everyone turns a blind eye to his atrocities when he does it all in plain sight. I think it shows how everyone in the Dune universe is evil, except maybe Alucard & Emmi and the Ecazi rebels I read about who didn't accept the house system (and whom the Atreides helped to crush).

>he can't possibly fuck it up right hahahaha please christ as long as Jared Leto isn't Piter or something….

That is to say he'll play either the 40-50 year old Duke Leto Atreides in this new movie or Paul's son; the twenty year-old Leto II in a Dune sequel that may roll out in 2040.

Dune managed to put me off 80 pages into the second book, in no small part due to the preface written by Herbert's son. The guy seemed to have minimal understanding of how Dune played out, and hearing that he actually wrote shit after his father died was a guarantee of infuriating mediocrity. The first book had its moments (dinner scene in particular sticks to mind) but Herbert drops the ball repeatedly, and I got shaken out of the story by this particular moment:

>The Emperor’s smile was calculating. “Anyone accepted into the Imperial company is a member of my entourage.”

>“You have the word of a Duke,” Paul said, “but Muad’Dib is another matter. He may not recognize your definition of what constitutes an entourage.”

And then I couldn't continue even past the few chapters of Messiah. Now I'm thinking I should do what this guy >>13750 did.

Ironic since I feel bored every time I check this board and see that your exceedingly bland post is still the latest. It's the epitome of normalfag banality, taken to an even lower depth of embarrassment on account of the overwhelming likelihood that it's meant as some "ironic" or "post-ironic" attempt at humor.

Hey /lit/

I'm an erotica author who write a lot of taboo stuff, and as I've been seeing success in the erotica market in the past few months I'd like to consider branching out. The stuff I've been putting out there is pretty fringe but within Amazon guidelines; I know that some authors who write stuff like, say, incest, will post their stories to Smashwords, which is more forgiving of extreme content. As of right now it's not really a problem because my stuff is pretty in line with the two big retailershowever, in the past I've written more than a few stories involving underage characters, and I'm sure there's a market for this content somewhere. Nobody mainstream will accept and publish such works however, and when I search for information about the issue Google shames me with a big warninglike, Googling the phrase 'underage characters in erotic fiction' comes up with a big fat whining warning about depictions of child abuse being illegal, yes, of course, obviously. But this is FICTION.

Naturally in the process of this Googling I came across United States v. Fletcher, a 2007 court case where the defendant entered a guilty plea in a ridiculous obscenity charge brought against her for maintaining a website of fictional stories, text only, no pictures. The contents of the stories sound like they were very shocking (more shocking than my stuff, small consolation to me) but obviously that's no excuse for the charges brought against her. She was an old lady at the time, too, which makes it very sad and absurd. It sounds like this prosecutor wanted to make an example and from what I can see it worked because everywhere I look in fiction communities everywhere if you even have the audacity to write about a character who's, I don't know, seventeen having a sexual experience that's depicted as erotic, you'll be banned on site and your work thrown off whatever website you put it on. Never mind that if you write the same scene at a 7th grade reading level and call it YA an agent will snap it up in a heartbeat. Never mind that de Sade's Justine was twelve at the start of the novel and so was Dolores Haze. Never mind THAT IT'S FICTION. FICTION FICTION FICTION. It makes me want to scream.

Is there ANYWHERE I can publish, sell, advertise,Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

ASSTR has a lot of child sex stories of various sites like loliwood. I suppose it all depends. They tend to cater towards actual pedophiles, rather than some racy story involving a girl or guy 1 to 2 years under 18. If it is a fan fiction, you can always publish it on various adult fan fiction sites. Hell, I print out some of the ones I like, and even have a printed out copy of a underage kim kardashian lesbian incest story with her 10 year old sister.

Bump, I would like to know this as well, since I have reached success selling erotica on the 'Zon and would really like to make money off my true passion, of which I've written free stories of on ASSTR (and even got some fanmail).

Wondering how I would even get paid writing shit like that, I'd probably be too afraid to have it attached to my real bank account. Maybe just make a webpage and ask for payments in Bitcoin?
