HELLO THERE. It's your friendly neighborhood Writer, just here to leave a pile of rules to establish a level of standards for those who want to enjoy the board.

  • Division of shit from lit: No flimsy, short, barebones posts that are undeveloped and thoughtless. If you're going to write something, write something. Posting an outline of a story or some ideas and looking for critiques or advice is totally acceptable, though.
  • No smut: I had to think about this for some time. Tasteless fap material is not welcome in /lit/. This isn't your personal jerk-off board. Don't write stories that are sex-centric. Sex is a natural human act so it can enhance a story, but sex itself is never by any means a story. Although, if you must, post it in /ot/. If enough people post their smut there, hell, you might get your own smut board.
  • Content: What is/isn't allowed? The works posted do not have to be related directly to Yume Nikki, although a majority tends to me. I believe as far as writing/literature goes, most anything can find its way here. Talking about books and literature is encouraged, as well!
  • Labeling of NSFW material: Some people don't have strong stomachs or don't like sexual content to your writing. If a post or chapter of a story contains some, please label it as such.
  • Level of maturity: Sure, some writers may not have the technical finesse or prowess of people who have been writing for a while. Still, as long as the fledgling writer is trying their best, don't insult others and instead offer advice. Otherwise, posts will be deleted and you may be banned. Repeated offenses will incur increasing penalties.


That's basically it. Read, write, have fun. :D

Kasuga is connected to Baudelaire not just by his obsession with the latter's primary work, but in a deeper more symbolic sense, he represents Baudelaire himself.
His attraction to Saeki as an "ideal love". The traditional muse, the "angel". In the way he narcissisticaly imposes these preconceived notions onto her, a normal girl. Refusing to see her true self
In his relationship with Nakamura we see Baudelaire's attraction to the darker, perverse love that Baudelaire often wrote about. Mising feelings of desire, passion, fear and annihilation.
"There are women who inspire you with the desire to conquer them and to take your pleasure of them; but this one fills you only with the desire to die slowly beneath her gaze."
-Charles Baudelaire
Kasuga's feelings mirror many of Baudelaire's. The feeling of alienation from his peers, the persistent desire to go someplace far away, the constant, overpowering feeling of guilt and self hatred. But the most meaningful is his connection to the Flower of Evil.
Nakamura is the titular Flower of Evil. For Kasuga, the desire for meaning outside of normalcy. Finding beauty in the perverse and "ugly". Extracting art from sin and suffering. She awakens all of this within Kasuga, mirroring how the Femme Fatale muses of Baudelaire would awaken new eras inside of Baudelaire and his poetry.
How will his Baudelairean journey end? For Baudelaire himself, he felt that he was damned for all eternity the moment he was born. He died an early death, destitute and unaknowledged…

In any case, I need to think about it more, and I do think we really, like really really, need our minimal C compiler.

Practice! Any time even a small piece of a line pops into your head and sounds good, write it down and try right there to grow it out like a seed. The few words sprouting through your subconscious are attached to some concept you can expand if you get right on top of it while it's fresh.

Other times I write down an idea and then ruminate on it for years before suddenly finishing it.

There is another time that while driving down the highway I took the names of a few different exits and used those words as the basis to grow out a poem, and I really liked how it turned out. You can pull ideas from anywhere.

The more you practice the more you will understand your personal sense of literary aesthetic and how to appeal to it more effectively.

Honestly, this is really good advice. Read Letters to a Young Poet, very insightful tidbits in there

I just finished reading Nausea by Jean-Paul Sartre a week or so ago, and I read "The Double" by Fyodor Dostoevsky out of a collection of some of his works that I bought; it seems that the next work of his in the collection is "White Nights," so I'll be reading that soon.

Additionally, I started reading A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn earlier today, as I'm rather ignorant of history in general and wish to learn more about it. I'm only one chapter in and I'm already fascinated.

What about you, Uboachan? What are you reading/have read recently? Recommendations are welcome.

I am reading Houellebecq's Platform. So far it aligns with my own inner monologuing fairly accurately, especially since I got back from my stay in Phuket a while ago, so the descriptions of the subcontinental humidity sticking to the skin like film are fairly tactile in my mind. Of course, his digressions on sexuality are sometimes specious, but generally correct, and it's probably better if there's less venom in his writing and a greater emphasis on detached pessimism with a few concessions to female sexual nature. If I were to write something of my stay in Thailand I imagine it would look pretty similar (though I'd shirk the intimacy, reading it makes me feel like a young boychik leaving the shtetl for the first time and being confronted with tatted whores waltzing down the streets).

I recently finished The Part About Critics from Bolaños's 2666, and am about halfway done with The Part about Amalfitano. It's a colossal book and I am a very slow reader, wich is making me a little bit frustrated, but it is very good. I'm reading The Scent of India by Pasolini in parallel and enjoying a lot too.

I started reading 'an introduction to philosophical analysis' by john hospers because i wanted to try to regain my attention span, i haven't read a full book in years and i want to think about things more, i figured this might help provide a framework to help me understand and consider ideas in other books i think i'd be more interested in.

I keep coming to a point where I just do not understand what's trying to be conveyed in this book and hitting a feeling i get similar to seeing other people's interpretations of art or knowledge or joy of a particular subject: my internal world is small, sad, dull and grey compared to others

wake up!! we are about to enter tribulation and the Christian church has completely mislead you, you need to repent so God doesn't pour his wrath out on you
we are required to keep the Sabbath (Isaiah 56, acts 13:42-44)
and to abstain from pork shrimp shellfish (Isaiah 66, acts 15)
Paul specified in Galatians 3:19 that sacrificial law ended meaning we are still bound by the holy covenants
we still have to keep the ten commandments Matthew 5:19
in Ephesians 2:12-13 it says we are grafted into Israel meaning the prophecy and covenants given to Israel still apply to us
and Isaiah 11:11-13 says that you are apart of the lost sheep of Israel
christmas easter halloween are unbiblical idolatry, christ wasn't even born in December and these celebrations come from paganism such as yule, saturnalia and ishtar
The trinity is an unbiblical idolatrous doctrine (numbers 23:19, mark 10:18, Matthew 26:39)
the messiah's name is Yeshua not Jesus read John 5:42-43 about this

stars played hide and seek in your hair
like a comet that ends its course, exhausted
sit down in the sky and rest breathless
draw with your hand a smile on the sun's face

you washed your head into the river
fishes hid out in your hair
they ate all the stars
now it's dark forever everywhere

Bring forth the tides,
the lust, the rhymes,
the manners we were taught,
the little thrills,
the haunts, the chills,
we sought,
whether beauty,
or betrayal;
is that beauty, not?
forever stay the light of day,
or e'er for naught,
yet still I'd say,
bring forth next day,
the love, the loss, the rot,
not one of these, forgot.

I started uploading my story as a webtoon project and I'm sharing it with you Ubuu.

It's about a princess of an evil empire that exterminates anyone who opposes them or practices a different religion, she sees this as normal as she was raised that way, but one day she meets a girl preaching a different gospel who recklessly challenges her views.
The situation is closely monitored by a powerful spirit of revenge and death who travels through time trying to keep others from becoming like her.

If you think this sounds interesting to you, chapter 1 and 2 are up!

PROPHECY- The Punishment Of My Evil Elites

"The WEF has got to go, My son. It is evil. I will eradicate it from the Earth. Its leaders are evil; they want to destroy the planet. I will eradicate them. I will destroy them all. The evil elite will be destroyed from off the face of the Earth. I will destroy all who want to destroy humanity. They are evil. Expect their elimination. Tell all they will be destroyed. I will depopulate them from off the planet. They have to go. Tell all that they will fail in their attempt to start World War 3; I will destroy them; they have got to go. A blight they are, destroying humanity with evil drugs, vaccines, and all manner of wickedness. Their technology will not go far; I will destroy them. Their AI machines will fail their objectives; all the works of Satan will fail. They give themselves unto the Devil; destroy them I will. Their wealth will fail them in the end, fail to rescue them from the evil calamities coming. The LORD has spoken. Amen and amen. Distribute far and wide."
