>>3926667>what did i missI deleted my own posts. I'm writing an adventure/horror story about a robo shota. I was asking for opinions about what people want from stories about robo boys, but it's a very complex story to describe (sci-fi, and a big part of the appeal of the story is revealing the sci-fi premises to the reader in an interesting way) with some tragic/spooky aspects to the premise (murdered prince has his soul put into a robot body), I am feeling ill and touchy, plus was dealing with IRL problems (broken washing machine), and the first reaction was this
>>3926642>>3926644So I just deleted the posts.
Too exhausted for 4chan acrimony.
Feeling very "misunderstood artist"
>>3926660It's inspired by Silent Hill, but it's just a novel, not a videogame.
I could definitely write it so he wears shorts and goes barefoot at points. A lot of the horror is psychosexual, I've come up with several varieties of monsters already that the characters will have to face, that represent different repressed aspects of the boy's subconscious - some of these monsters are related to repressed memories of his kidnapping/murder, while some are based on fears everyone might find relateable. There is a lewd psychosexual aspect to the whole thing.
but I do want this story to have a certain je ne sais quoi of like ... actually being a good story and not just fetishes. In the way that Alice and Wonderland and Lord of the Flies are like actual stories about children, or Astro Boy and Mega Man is generally considered socially acceptable.
I don't want to use the "literature" word, because it's not like its high brow ... in fact I might even want to simplify and censor parts of the story so it's appropriate for children (there's Children's horror, like the Goosebumps novels, so it's not impossible)
But I do want it to be like an actual story.
I was sort of asking for more innocent story ideas.
