Good thing you clarified, I thought you were writing about Russia going into civil disorder in one of my ongoing gunboat games.

"Country in civil disorder" -- as in dystopian future stuff, which is all the main stream right now? Tell me about this - I've very curious.

Not quite dystopian. It's about a nameless country in which there is a lot of rioting, heavy handed police and a dictator. From both sides of the conflict there are good and evil deeds and the question it's really raising is whether rebellion is justified? Can a dictator be good or at least be unaware? Are the rebels better than the dictators? Those sort of dilemmas.

So my main character is a student who is pro-government and doesn't really realise what's going on as he has a good life. He has influences from both sides. A side story is a cop that is chasing down the rebels and realises that he is in a dictatorship slowly discovering shady things going on in the police. There will also be rebels who commit questionable acts.

I'm not sure, but I think the rebellion is ultimately going to fail.

How interesting. I am writing about a country called webdipforum in which there is a lot of rioting, heavy handed police and a dictator.

The outcome is in a sequel, which will be finished some time next year.

"Haiku a day"
+ a book named I Love You ... not kidding

Did you plan on publishing? Or just a little project for yourself? Also what's your website?

Cool thread! I'm writing a couple things:

1. Editing my senior thesis from college before the end of the year to possibly attempt publication.

2. Finishing/editing a giant "personal philosophy" manifesto I wrote in 2011. It's like 100 pages.

3. I've been writing a sonnet or two a week, because I've always wanted to try to improve my poetry writing. I can post a few if anyone is interested (I'm not saying they're good, though, so)

4. I have been feeling the need to write a tract on anticonsumerism. It's been a primary focus in my life lately. Probably because I re-read Walden this summer.

5. I want to write a short story but I feel out of practice with fiction. I have a list of ideas I want to do later but only when I've wrote a few to get my fiction writing ability to a level that would do the ideas justice.

Mine is about 200. I'd LOVE to read yours.

Sure, if you want to see it in its unfinished state. The nuts and bolts are there. Just needs polishing and an appendix or two. PM me email?
