>MORE LIKE GEORGINA
okay. that, I can (maybe) work with.

Jennifer was a great girl, but she had one of those perfect older sisters. So no matter what triumphs or accolades she could ever accumulate? Her perfect older sister stole all the limelight with her star power. Still, walking in those bigger footsteps wasn't a bad thing. It made her almost as successful at most things, again as compared to her older sister.
Now Georgina, the older perfect sister? Just went boy crazy at her ivy league college. Jennifer is heading there in her wake. What she finds out about her sister once there, and what she thought she knew about her perfect older sis? Will be gone forever.
The thing is, though. Her perfect older sister? Has developed a quite spicy sex life in her time at college ahead of Jennifer. As long as she keeps her grades up? Why shouldn't the little sister keep following her older sister's lead. Maybe Jennifer really could stand to be...

...more like Georgina.

>tranquility base
Citizen kane-like story told from the perspective of a journalist (female) who is covering the fall down of the moon hotel (literally). She goes there and meets the owner. They wander through the empty halls and every scene is that dynamic between the bitter present and the past when the hotel was created and popular.
I want to write that one day tho

>>24566305
oof

terrible start, none of your are playing it right

>>24565431 (OP)
Terry Seherbius, a computer engineer who started to develop schizophrenia, creates a program with the help of his auditory hallucinations. This program (named Antigone) creates seemingly random strings of letters and numbers; however, Terry is capable of forming clues and coordinates from it to help localize missing people. Terry decides to anonymously aid in finding people with the help of Antigone. However, things take a turn for the worse once the program starts revealing the location of bodies from individuals targeted by a cult formed by the upper echelons of society.
Now Terry must expose the members of the cult and the conspiracy behind them before they frame him from all the deaths and disappearances tied to the cult.

And for my fake title
>Weeping Star

>>24568381
sounds like the ‘list of seven’ with bodies instead of books mixed with pi (the movie) cool premise, bro.

weeping star-
an unnamed chemist publishes a paper on a forum for a complex chemical reaction they theorize could be the key to understanding how life on earth was catalyzed. a young man by the name of Amir Amani finds it and decides to try and reproduce the experiment in his garage where he’s found dead, his body half-decayed, by authorities after going missing for a week. soon, multiple reports of a strange flesh eating disease erupt across the southern United States where more and more corpses are found ‘decayed’ but without any smell or trace of organic material around them. scientists discover too late that the disease is actually a long feared ‘grey-goo’ type nano machine chemical that has been unleashed upon the world. the future of humanity lies in their ability to escape earth and find a new life in orbit or elsewhere in the solar system.. or galaxy.

my submission is:
>pisslord

>>24568448
Pisslord. An adolescent desperate for validation and attention witnesses a murder. After debating whether or not to go forward to the police he ultimately decides he won't be believed and it is better to attempt to blackmail the killer. After successfully leaving a ransom note and directing the killer to leave ten thousand dollars at a dropspot, the protagonist is apprehended by the killer when he later goes to collect. The killer is surprised to find his blackmailer is a foul mouth teenager and instead of tying up loose ends decides to 'dirty the hands' of his blackmailer, involving him in several petty crimes. The book follows some of their misadventures, moments of philosophy discussed by the two, the killer increasingly seeing more of his former self in the teenager, and culminates in the killer preparing the protagonist to kill someone on his own; only to decide it better to die at the hands of his own criminal organization than to implicate the teenager any further.

In the shadowed recesses of Appalachia’s dead-end valley communities lay more than just hopelessness and abandon. When the sun sets below the hills casting long shadows, Hell’s communion rises….

>Clouds Break Upon the Shore

>>24569224
sounds like final fantasy yaoi fanfiction

>>24569228
…….it was a worthy thread idea, but the board IQ is too low.

>>24570155
It's quite time and day dependent. no lifers dead bumping inane chatter threads are not always the rule here.

>Clouds Break Upon the Shore
Nathan Morgan is a captain on the Mercury, an East India Trading Company clipper. He and his first mate, Louis, are tasked with covertly returning vital information regarding the raising stakes of the first Opium War back to London from Canton and Hong Kong.

Nathan and Louis pick up a Chinaman in Macau and add him to their crew. Utilizing the Chinaman that the crew calls Jack, Nathan and Louis obtain 30 pounds of raw opium to sell back home in London.

Docked at Bluff Head, under the shadow of the Devil's Fist, the crew loads their cargo onto the Mercury. Nathan is entrusted with the intelligence by the occupied British military in Hong Kong. Nathan notes the British abuse of the Cantonese people but can do nothing.

Back aboard, opium safe inside false bottoms in the tea chests, the intelligence sewn inside of Nathan's jacket, they chart course from the South China Sea, through the Sunda Strait into the Indian Ocean, around South Africa, through the English Channel to London-- a necessary but dangerous voyage.

Tensions rise in the cramped quarters and a monsoon threatens to dash the Mercury against some lost islet near the Cocos. Will Nathan wash up on some forgotten shore, flotsam and dugongs on the horizon? Or will it be mutiny born of some slight against Jack the Chinaman?

Follow the crew of the Mercury in this maritime thriller

> New title: Hollow Tree
In a strange fantasy world, an army of religion-magic-wielding conquistadors land on alien shores to claim their riches for their King and Church. They are opposed by a confederation of forest-worshipping aboriginal tribes. The locals and their shamans put up a fierce fight, but thanks to the efforts of conquistador theurgy and brutality in battle, they are destroyed and their settlements are sacked. In the aftermath, an ambitious junior theurgeon looking for apotheosis accidentally achieves communion with a branch off the aborigines' sacred tree, and, to his surprise, finds what he thinks is his own god, who, it seems, only cares about both sides killing more of each other - not necessarily the conquistadors winning. The theurgeon barely survives the communion, but leaves determined to sail back to the Old World and deliver his findings to the Church for clarification.

New title:
> Asset 75

>>24568381
the concept up until the clandestine cult of elites is really interesting. i could get behind the cult aspect if it was done right though. 7/10

>>24568448
i was on board mostly until having to flee earth. 5/10

>>24568689
concept could be good but without some extra detail, its hard to suspend disbelief. 3.5/10

>>24569224
good tease but i need more detail 6/10

>>24570973
mine, so skip

>>24571306
really intrigued by the strange doors and the world in it but i feel like you could do something more interesting than just 'control' over paradiso. 7/10

>>24571363
i like the idea of the god being a) not necessarily either side's conceptualization of what a god should be and b) not benevolent, arguably malevolent but even more arguably neither, more self serving. would like to see some internal and external conflict in regards to what this means to the conquistador and his church. 8/10

>Green Terrarium

Are we really just two niggas doing this? Has op even read our blurbs?

>>24574997
Nah I'm here too, using this to write AI books.

>>24574997
I would contrubute but I can't think of a good plot. I've got a mountain of titles but I can't use them unless I can find a way to compose a blurb to precede it.

>>24574997
im here with you. im always here with you.

>>24574444
might read this depending but its a little derivative just from the blurb 6.5/10

>>24574931
funny twist on the band of heroes trope but could be a little too humorous for my tastes and i might drop it 7.5/10

>Green Terrarium

An entomologist and botanist, Agata Baldwin-Hernshaw, oversees the hermetic sealing of rare plants and bugs for transit across the country. Cutting edge technology for its time in 1833, this new method of transporting such fragile cargo is very lucrative. So lucrative, in fact, that many would like to sabotage Agata or else steal her Wardian cases entirely, along with the blueprints she's drawn up for them.

Agata notices that she consistently is tasked with sealing St Ignatius beans, but whomever is shipping them is paying a pretty penny to do so. She keeps this to herself until a series of murders, by way of poison (and two kidnappings assumed to be connected), makes headlines in London. She battles her own dissonance, especially considering the crimes have involved people she'd been familiar with.

A friend of Agata's, Mathias Griffin Wright, a brilliant but struggling artist who uses laudanum a bit too regularly, comes to Agata frightened, as many of the victims of the killer the news has dubbed "The White Warden" are involved in the artist's realm. Agata notices Mathias is a bit more off than he once was and begins to suspect him as The White Warden.

Agata leaves a Wardian case unattended and plants begin to sprout inside it.

The White Warden begins leaving menagerie's of bodies, macabre art installments, across London, tame, slightly romantic at first, then the most gruesome scene, one in which The White Warden has grafted parts of one body onto another, spurs Agata to act-- she tries the police but they ignore her beans. She decides she'll investigate herself and her first suspect is Mathias... if she's wrong... she won't think about that yet.

>Such As Men Do

>>24576562
Just write the first thing that comes to your mind. That's what I did with the three (3) blurbs I posted
(Also, in case you're a brainlet. You're supposed to write the blurb based on the title the above leaves, not based on your own title)

>>24576763
>Such As Men Do
An anthology of short stories about men's work and sex lives from the perspectives of the women they love, whose feministic ideals and misunderstanding of the male mind provide a unifying undercurrent of dramatic irony. sounds like dogshit ik

>The Grave's Portion

>>24576858
wish there was a little more detail but i could see this really working, like a series of Mad Men vignettes 8/10, would've probably rated higher with more detail

>>24576885
I didn't want to dwell on it at first I'll be leaving my job because my female coworkers complained to management about some shit I'd said. But now the idea rather intrigued me

>>24576920
try writing it

more people need to get in here and add blurbs and ratings, i don't wanna flood my thread with just my own posts

>>24576920
Did you spill your spaghetti about some redpill shit like a sperg?

>>24576937
Can't even fucking remember, it was just banter. Mostly anodyne shit meant to be ironic or non-sequiturs.

>>24576936
Maybe I'll give it a shot later. I mainly writer SFFslop so it may take that form, idk. I might be too busy crashing out anyway, but if I get anything written and the thread's still up, I'll post some.
Good thread concept btw. Today, OP was straight

>>24576973
i stole it from another anon but happy to bring it back

>>24576936
I don't like to rate other people stuff
