Whats good story technically?

A million dollar best seller perhaps. Like how does each pages collectively adds up to the sales number

Anonymous 07/26/23(Wed)18:43:20 No.5166

A good story connects emotionally, psychically, and intellectually. It should be absorbed rather than consciously consumed, like viewing someone else's dream.

>>5166 yea but is it million sales tho

How does stories or fict quantify to 6 digit traffics? How does the market measure and then promote and attract such number of sales of a piece of story content?

REST IN PEACE THEODORE JOHN KACZYNSKI, AUTHOR OF "Industrial Society and Its Future" AND SIXTEEN OTHER BELLETRISTIC EXPLOSIVE-EPISTOLATIONS o7

Anonymous 06/12/23(Mon)09:06:25 No.4954

Which from his books is objectively the better one?

Anonymous 06/12/23(Mon)17:07:20 No.4957

The Industrial Society and Its Future will forever be his great classic. The Anti-Tech Revolution is essentially an expanded version of that manifesto but he rambles a lot in it. It does have a great btfo of transhumanism though. The System's neatest trick is also great. What's sad is that he was working on another book which he hoped would be his masterpiece before he died. Hopefully they'll publish the unfinished manuscript.

The ending of Don Quixote is weird, isn't it? He comes to his senses just before he dies, but no one is happy about it. In fact, they seem to be more bothered by it than they are by the fact that he's dying. The last chapter has this uneasy feeling throughout it, like the last episode of that Dinosaurs show when the snow starts falling at the end. There's a sense that this isn't right. I wonder if, despite what the Spanish critics seem say, the romantics were right when they said the book is really about the struggle between the passions and ideals of the individual vs. the wicked constraints of the world. I mean, if Cervantes was just trying to attack fantastical stories and the people who read and write them, why was his very next novel, The Travails of Persiles and Sigismunda, which he began writing at the exact same time as Don Quixote, a fantastical story played straight? That would make him a hypocrite. Am I just coping by reading too much into the book because I like fantastical stories and I don't want to admit that I'm being mocked?

Anonymous 02/08/23(Wed)20:35:39 No.4402

It's been about a decade since I read it so I dont gave a lot to contribute. My initial thought was that there was the wpisode where it mocks those that copy him. So I thought that him dying was tying a knot so that no author could lift his character. Then I read what you said again so I think his death was to show that its ok to die and its all about the ride on your horsey and where that journey takes you.

Anonymous 02/09/23(Thu)21:57:29 No.4406

I thought about it some more but if I recall people thought he was a goofy knight back then so it added realism or some shit to make it legitimate

I read up on this a little, and it seems like the anonymous author who wrote a sequel to the first part of Don Quixote only did so to spite Cervantes. Apparently they were political enemies or something. I haven't read it, but supposedly the guy mocks and degrades the character far more than Cervantes ever did, to the point of cruelty.

Anonymous 05/23/23(Tue)08:07:37 No.4784

Don Quixote was a nut, but… kind of cool as nuts go.
A nut who wakes up too late is theoretically laudable… but ends up neither here nor there, and awkward for everyone. At least, if he does not have great sense of humor to handle this.

Books on how to talk Anonymous 04/07/23(Fri)03:02:31 No.4665 [Reply]

I know this sounds retarded but I need books on how to talk with flow and to speak in an organized manner. Whenever I talk I either side track or I either talk about something and then I blank out and can't remember about what I'm talking about since my mind is already thinking about something else or I'm thinking too much on the words to use. How do you fix this, I need to learn how to speak like a normal person.

Where do you find pdf/epubs/etc. of books online? I only know of archive.org, gutenberg.org, b-ok.org and libgen.is. Are there any others?
Also, discuss books about pirates and anything related to them.

fadedpage.com has a lot of public domain literature, even classic 1920s/30s pulp fiction and weird fiction; H. P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, Henry Kuttner, C. L. Moore, &c.
8ch used to have a /pdf/, but it was mostly political stuff.
The Internet Archive has a lot of pulp magazines and short story collections as well, but be sure to download what you need ASAP. They remove anything that breaks copyright, even if it is a long-out of print magazine.

Here is a short story named Pirates by E. F. Benson: http://archive.vn/jZDbV / http://web.archive.org/web/20190803022543/http://www.steve-calvert.co.uk/public-domain-texts/e-f-benson-pirates.html
No actual pirates appear in the story though, the title refers to a childhood game the protagonist used to play. Not even one of his spooky ghost stories, but a sweet, melancholic ghostly tale of an old man reminiscing about his childhood.

From what I heard, vol3 "gf" has uterine cancer.
The word on the street was that her uterus was so badly beaten by BBC and Big Colombian Cocks that they are going to have to remove it. Vol3 is okay with that, he says she had a nice time with those lads and he never thought about having kids anyway.

Well in screenwriting you have the "protagonist"
what I like to call the "smart character"
And of course the "antagonist." The "dumb character"
And if you're going to have the dumb character DARE
to speak to the smart character
the trick to making sure the smart character sounds smart
which you need
Is to write their response first.
So, let's say the smart character's response to something is…
"I have an MBA from Stanford"
"I memorized the sonnets before I knew how to shit sitting down"
"and I have the first lady on speed dial"
"why don't you ask someone who thinks the Swiss invented the cuckoo clock"
Nice, right?
But it doesn't make any sense
