I honestly think every story has been told and all that is left is experimentation. Joyce realized this too.

This isn't some barely grasped, esoteric knowledge OP. Ever heard the old saying "there's nothing new under the sun"? Yeah, all stories have already been told.

the next big thing will be honest storytelling from a post truth perspective, its a blank slate

Advances in technology and changes in the cultural focus of the masses (what's in) opens up new things to be written.
But yes at core if you mean the human condition, or what it means and feels like to be human. All bases have been covered and now it's mostly changes to style.
I agree with you.
Also when big wars happen, people start writing differently and better imo, so we have that to look forward to.
It's why the best writers are from far in the past, wars were happening all the time back them and it wasn't just controlling drones on a screen.

Aphrodite and Ares were lovers for the same reason cupid and psyche were.
As thought rhymes with fought. It's typological. Better fights lead to better thinking and writing is thinking (and feeling)

(Was this a good schizopost? I'm trying a new style of schizoposting. Pushing the envelope. Please leave feedback)

try harder with your bait

Are you even an internet child if you didn't have a cringe TVTropes phase
At least I was never so bad as to write troper tales

i know i am biting with this but how does deconstruction relate to tvtropes?

Nah, I'm doing something new. My characters, in particular, are new.

>ver heard the old saying "there's nothing new under the sun"?
Ok, but didn't that saying get penned long before there were cyberpunk stories about things like satellite deployment, giant mechanical men, and internet misadventures?
>>
>>25495653
>things like satellite deployment, giant mechanical men, and internet misadventures
you mean like magic, monsters, gods, and magical realms to be tapped into?

>Kafka's The Metamorphosis without the bug
So it's just about a hikikomori?
>>
>>25495682
No, I mean the real physical satellites, robots, and internet shenanigans that happened after that quote rather than all the silly imaginary demon nonsense your water logged brain is trapped thinking about.
>>
>>25495503
I honestly think every experiment has been made and all that is left is to tell a good story (with a good style).
>>
>>25495503
I've found plenty of ideas nobody wrote about before. I made sure to ask any and all AIs to search in the confines of the internet and they all told me my simple ideas were never done before. That being said, they're more suited to plays and I don't wanna write plays.

Just write the most stupid bullshit you can think of then call it post-modern
Waiting for Godot is absolute tripe but because of expert marketing it's hailed as a masterpiece

You’ve never read him.

My story has never been told.

Sorry you're too much of a bug to see the clear historical/mythopoetic inspiration for all of these, chump.

>>25495704
Jesus christ you are a retard. Utterly non-existent pattern recognition abilities, 80iq at most.
>>25498061 is right

It's shit, like all postmodern garbage

>>25498575
>le postmoderne
you know not whereof you speak
>>
>>25495508
just because something is repeated over and over again doesn't necessarily mean its true it just means people like repeating themselves.

You niqqas really don't write stories based off spontaneously generated images that spring up from the depths of your subconscious?
