Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dude, originality is only half dead.

The parts that are not dead, are the parts that end up with stuff like my s**t.

So your saying that someone else has thought up a story where nothingness flys through the plane of destiny of all the mortals, tears the soul out of the meditating mortal who rules over time and space in order to become a god of all things and attempts to take the hand of the spacematter automaton queen. While adventures abound of a poisionous mushroom man who fights the siren of the woods and the psychotic race of bird people.
A boarheaded man who traps an artist in his apartment and thousands of other monsters ravage the streets, while his stoner buddies try to just get on with life while the women he admires(who does nude yoga) totally rejects him out of the idea of purity.
An old man wanderer in the madness who comes from a society where everything is known, and was considered crazy for even thinking about leaving, finds a talking dog who apparently was traveling to the moon over the edge of the world with his master when something went wrong, and now they have to go on an epic quest with hundreds of horribly evolved death creatures.
And finally the tale of the wanna be astronaut who is taken captive by a baboon and beated into submission to be a pet and source of information for abomination parties, and then is forced to mate with another human kidnapped for these horrible creatures amusement.

Upon counless other things.

I really doubt, that anywhere until i spoke of them, that anyone thought of that. And that is not me trying to be cool. This is my subconscious thoughts poured out into a story.

And i do agree, you never find anything new anymore. Doesn't mean it isn't there.

In my opinion, in the standard that everything must be original makes it so absolutely no story is original, and nothing ever was.


Every story has characters, conflicts, and resolution.

Every story a character probably converses. Most stories at least talk about people in love, and others who hate. things happen.


There is a very limited range of characters, and in real life, most story arcs would have been taken, even before the written word existed. Crazy folk. Sure there are new gods, new explanations, and new scales, but generally everything is the exact same. Especially in the fantasy world.

I dunno, thats my oppinion.

Did I, Walter, Son of Walter, Joey Insanity, Joey, King of Himself, Joey, The Guy That Nobody Really Wants To Read All Of This But Will, start a philosophical discussion on a simple three word sentence?! The sentence that He, who is Joey, was simply 'Originality is dead'?

If so, awesome! Continue if it pleases you, I will not partake in it for I am to busy making a long-term role play creation thread in Barton OOC and reading to really give my voice.

If not, then ignore this entire post a redirect your eyes another few enter buttons ********' Lemurs.

Agreed.
Lemurs are my favorite animal. Not monkeys. Lemurs and monkeys should not mix!

Oh, got my long-term role play creation thread made!
If anyone wants to jump in with ideas or just to join another role play, then the link is here.

P.S. My Plot Idea is The Kingdom. Just a heads up.

P.S.S. Who wants to make The Lemur Lovers Fan Club?

No, but ive been super excited for a roleplay and spent hours making a character perfect for the roleplay only to have it rejected.

I was just reading a role play in Barton Town, only got to the rules post.
Would have gone farther but the creator said, and I quote, "i want no one liners or one sentences. I want semi-lit to literate posts. at least 3 sentences, even with writers block."

I'm sorry, I don't care if you don't even know how to read, if you can't get a full paragraph down even on writers block, somethings wrong. I don't care for length or grammar to much, it's the quality I want, but when I think of semi-literate, in the role play sense, I think of a paragraph to two paragraphs.

Of course, I'm old style so when I think of semi-literate I first think of three-five paragraphs, little grammatical errors, and then not complex, but descriptive posts. Then literate when I first started role playing was like, seven-ten paragraphs, only one grammatical error per post, and if you can't clearly see the post with your eyes open you're post is not ready for that s**t. At least that's what the person who taught to role play made me believe. s**t was scary to think about. O.o

I always thought the "lit rating" system was bullshit. I say write what your inspired to write, with no limit or minimums. I honestly dont care how long it is, so long as you tdy and make it gold.

The only readon the system is in place is so douche bags with no self esteem can try to put themselves higher than everyone else. Thats what I think. Writing is art, art shouldnt have boundaries.
