I just had an idea. What about a comedy of manners set in a dystopian future? Would anyone here read that?
Haha... hell yeah. I'm thinking The Importance of being Earnest meets 1984. Talk about being offbeat... the reader won't have a clue where the narrative will turn next!
So awesome. Manners are important. For example: "A fella... a quick fella... might have a weapon under there. I'd have to nail his head to the quarter-panel."
That sounds like an incredible idea, actually. Do you intend to write such a thing? For our eyes to read?
"What are they doing?" "What?" "I said 'What are they doing now?'" "Goddamn I am getting so sick of answering that question!" "You have the fucking rifle; I can't see shit! Don't bitch at me because I'm not gonna just sit up here and play with my dick." "Okay. Look. They're just standing there and talking, okay? That's all they're doing. That's all they ever do, is just stand there and talk. That's what they were doing last week; that's what they were doing when you asked me five minutes ago. So five minutes from now,when you ask me 'what are they doing?' my answer is gonna be 'they're still just talking, and they're still just standing there.'" "...what are they talking about?" "You know what? I fucking hate you." Man, I'm really in a referential mood today.
