I have no original ideas of my own. None.

Sigh.

What do people read books about?

I am not even shitting you. I have no idea.

Liar.

:D

[amand_r]

No seriously. If it was just porn that would be cool, but my plots are either nonexistent or overly complicated.

[queenfanfiction]

*thinks your plots are juuuuust right*

I'd tell you what I read about, except I don't think that would help much. (Anything in English, Latin, or music notes. Fr srs.)

[reddwarfer]

I read about good and evil and fighting and guns and swords and lightsabers. But mainly about good and evil.

[amand_r]

Well, I would think so. But that leaves a lot of wiggle room. Louise Erdrich good and evil? Anne Rice good and evil? Hemingway good and evil? where's the plot in all of this?

[reddwarfer]

Plot I like best: Bad guy does bad, bad things. Good guy tracks down bad guy and kills him without compunction.

[xtricks]

Meh. No on has original ideas. The Greeks used 'em up *shakes fist* Hoooomer!

[copperbadge]

YOU STOLE MY RESPONSE *shakes fist too*

Mandr, if recent bestsellers are anything to go by, people read books about vampires and lawyers.

Someone oughta write a book about vampire lawyers, but it might be a bit too on the nose.

[amand_r]

seriously, man, all the places I'm looking at are like, "no vampires, please."

[copperbadge]

I'm sure there are tons of people out there with awesome and totally original books about vampires. Vampires who sparkle.

What kind of stuff do you want to write? Genre, lit, romance?

[bk7brokemybrain]

Everything ultimately comes down to sex.

[amand_r]

Well, that's the one thing that's not the issue. The issue is all the other stuff. a murder? a scandal? killer bees? what makes a plot?

i'm fairly certain you should have seen this coming, but
THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!

[amand_r]

Everyone's done it already. Like, I'd be hard pressed to find something I could write about that would interest me. :(

[kwanalicious]

zombie sexpocalypse?

[amand_r]

IF SOMEONE HAS A PLOT FOR THAT, I'D BE GLAD TO HEAR IT.

OPENING FROM MY NEW BOOK: "HOW THETA THETA CHI SURVIVED THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE":

The moment Bambi came into my room and I could see that her lipstick was red, I knew something was wrong. Bambi's a spring, hello
