worldbuilding
- The author’s sexual fantasy
- The author’s power fantasy
- The author’s political fantasy
Then there’s Orson Scott Card who apparently missed the point of his own books
But the author accidentally added an extra ingredient to the concoction–
Chemical X
Chemical X is the author’s unresolved trauma. Usually psychosexual family stuff or uncomfortable allegories about an ex.
Chemical x was the author fetishes, which are distinct to the author’s kinks
My book has none of this! The main character is just an engineering genius that gets rich and creates an army of women with no clothes but their underwear. They join him in an assault against an authoritarian government so they can reshape their country in a way that takes care of an oppressed population and removes the parasite class of corporate ownership, returning the means of production to the people!
Totally Unique!™®©
I’m interested but ditch the underwear idea, I’m thinking you should go just miniskirts
But that would eliminate a core part of
the author’s kinksworld building for this story!:P
Miniskirts can be underwear if that’s your kink
but you can peep under a miniskirk… ok I’ll read your first draft but if it doesn’t work, I’m going back… wait, what kinda underwear we talking?
Unless that book is set in a warm climate, put some clothes on those poor women!
“The author’s kinks”
The protagonist is an engineering genius so the women are always comfortable! It’s… Super Underwear… Yeah… That’s it.
:P
Missing the vital fifth(4th really) element of author trauma
Where do you think the kinks came from?
It really is the final touch…
i thought we call that “write what you know”?
TIL I have a time travel kink
Leave Ayn Rand alone!
Advice everyone she ever knew took to heart.
But where do the giant spiders fit in?
Christopher, my son, did I ever tell you the full story of Shelob? You know, the monstrous spider - descended from the vile Ungoliant! - which I used to read aloud of in our Oxford meetings of the Inklings? Well what I didn’t mention back then was Shelob could also transform into a totally hot babe: all pale and dark and wan like Rebecca in lvanhoe or what will later come to be known as the goth subculture. In fact she looked very much like the pornographic actress Stoya who will be born 13 years after I die. Christopher, I will be entrusting you with my estate. If there is ever a videogame adaptation of my work you must make sure they get this Shelob right - make sure she is what the Anglo-Saxons would have called a hæða ecge, a real sexy bitch.
Middle Earth: Shadow of War turned giant spider Shelob into an attractive-by-western-standards woman because… reasons. Whatever you write, you can’t do any worse than that.
That’s actually more justified than you’d think in terms of Tolkienisms. Shelob is more or less a spirit figure as akin to demons as the Maia are to angels, and there’s nothing more Catholic-metaphor approved than lust being used by secret monsters to entrap horny dudes.
Kinks, politics
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
DMs butthole?
Oh, so that’s how you win DnD.
Most people try snacks but sure if they’re into that
welp, fuck you for letting me know that is an element of our actual, real world lore.
god, Damnit, lol =P
