005. and i'm terrified it's much too late.
i'm sick. ugh. also writing more 1D fic, what is my LIFE.
finally, an original idea! (and by original i mean not-fanfiction, not that this idea is any kind of revolutionary.)
(oh god this may offend people. i don't know. i should never discuss religion ever i am sorry. i did cut out 90% of the personal bullshit, though, which is nice.)
note: i have written this before. it was, however, the product of a super angsty jasmine who was very angry at the world, so i sort of disregard 99% of the draft.
What I wanted to write, though, was the story of one guy's life, with each scene taking place in a church. We never learn the guy's name, and the entire thing is told through second person POV. Each scene would be him at a different place him his life, from the beginning, being baptized, to his ultimate end and disillusionment in God.
The problem, I think, is that I can't really write about that in a biased manner. It has to be told by the guy; it has to be his story, because my views are shaped by the fact that I'm a seventeen-year-old girl who's never been particularly devout and neither have her parents. So the ultimate end has to be a conclusion of his story, rather than what mine, perhaps, would be.
Does that make sense? Here, have some bulletpoints.

- i really like the idea of his beliefs changing with time, and the churches capturing that. there's a sense of timelessness about them, especially the old buildings, and tradition that i don't think is found in many people who practice the faith (generalisations, etc, i know, but it's true with a lot of people).
- i like second person. fuck yeah, second person. it's better than first, at least. i have an irrational hatred of first person writing except in certain well-written books.
- also present tense. fuck you, traditional writing styles.
- i don't know if doing the nameless thing is too fight club-esque or not. i don't know. well, maybe not fight club, but too contrived. i want him to A) be an every man and B) have all of the issues happen internally. there aren't many characters other than him.
