I am understanding post-apocalypse stories are very common on here. I am personally a fan, for a post-apocalyse theme contains the things I enjoy in a book: Suspense, destruction, betrayal, survival, and death. I would like to toss around ideas for anyone that might try to write a storygame for post-apocalytic. Questions that are personal can be sent via private messages with me.

Well you seem like a font of wisdom.

How would you recommend incorporating goats into a post apocalypse setting?

Goats would probably be common in apocalyptic times, assuming they still snack on paper and aluminum. They also eat poison ivy and poison oak, which could be helpful if at some point if you were to get stuck in an area full of unidentifiable plant matter. Their horns and agressiveness could also provide good protection from enemies. And yes, I have read an apocalyse story were the people ride goats.

Interesting, I see. And how common do you reckon incest would be?

I assume the last half hour has been spent dutifully researching.

Yes.

Ah, incest. Although I've read more stories with no major romance whatsoever, it does appear in some post-apocalyptic themed stories. In those types of stories, the destruction is more severe, and the plot is extremely graphic. I myself have written some type of it in one of my books.

I have in the plans for a post-apocalyptic humour game set 1979 London called London calling similar to fallout but more focused on the dark humour. Have you any idea or advice?

 If you want a lot of dark humor, you should include plenty of victims if unfortunate events were to happen. Dark humor is often used by dark people, and considering it takes place in the past, I recommend dark clothing and suspicious characterictics. Taking place in London is a good oppurtunity for brawls and fights, as it is a large city. Gangs would be assumable here. Most of the British-located books I read are written with a British accent.

Oh, and if I am to read your book, I would like to see a car chase involving a double-decker London bus. :)

Do you think there would be a valued place in a ruined and dangerous post-apoc world for a specialist in English medieval and Renaissance literature, with a particular subspecialty in narrative poetry?  Assume this person could read Anglo-Saxon runes.

I presume an old cathedral full of mysterious runes describing the apocalyse, as if it where written in the stars by ancient wizards. Any old building would be presumable, involving riddles and poetry describing the future,while the entire time, the building is threatening to fall down and enemies are on your tail.

This Skah guy hasn't even read Ground Zero yet, smh.

Here I was thinking he might be trying to be helpful, but turns out he's just spreading ignorance and misinformation, which is far worse than doing nothing.
Featured sci-fi. Ground Zero. Read it.

He couldn't dare to start given advice on Apocalypse settings HERE. Without even read Ground Zero.

HE REALLY DID. HE SHOULD BE PUNISHED WITH -100 POINTS LOL

Hmm, I seem to have summoned an angry mob.

Oh well. *hands out pitchforks and torches*

"Yeah, you summoned an angry mob AGAINST MY FRIEND! Chill out. He literally joined yesterday. He doesn't have leisure time to read because he goes to a boarding school. No wonder he left this place." BEFORE TAKING OFFENSE, KEEP READING!!!

And don't even THINK about attacking me.... I'm brand new here. I'm just the messenger. The above sentences are quote on quote of what he wanted me to say to you guys.

P.S. Pitchforks and torches? He has an extreme obsession with werewolves and might not like that...

HE COMES TO A FUCKING WRITING FORUM TO GIVE ADVICE IN a theme he is supposed a master. And he didn't have read ANYTHING about the topic at all. Sure we will all bow to him retarcy.

.

I'm sorry your friend is such a thin skinned faggot.

I didn't know, OK? So don't take it out on me.

My advice is first to make an account defending your friend read what he did; because if not you will end in the middle of his shit.

I'm mildly disappointed, but not surprised by the ragequit. We frequently find that autists of that level are brittle and unfun creatures who expect everyone to constantly extend the kind of courtesies and patience that they themselves refuse to show to anyone else.

Be sure to tell him I said that. Quote unquote.

@titaniumcat

Since I see you've started a story, if you're serious about writing it you need to be careful not to use the same school network or share devices with Skah. Because I'm just rolling with this "friend" thing for now even though 95% of the time it's bullshit. But I see Skah online and I have a suspicion he's typing up something regrettable right at this moment. And if that happens, you don't want to be on the same IP.


Or you might just be him, I have a reputation of giving noobs way too much benefit of the doubt on things like this. But I don't believe it matters in this case because if the meltdown came that easily, it will again no matter what name is being used.

Mm, nah, I'm not him. I take insults a lot better than Skah, and I probably would've not done something as crazy as pretending to be an insufferable know-it-all. I have a hunch that "regrettable thing" is for me after seeing these responses. I may as well should stop being friends with him. He goes to a boarding school and I go to a public school, so we don't share school devices. And even if he does get mad at me, I always can just stop talking to him. It's not like he's going to fight me. I could beat him easily. (Don't tell him I said that.)

Anyhoo, I take my writing pretty seriously. Most times I just type and type and don't respond the anything for nearly an hour. So, if I'm on and I don't respond, I'm working on my story. I hope you don't judge me because I'm (was) friends with him.

This is a much funnier turn of events than I could have hoped for.

I feel proud for being part of a site that destroyed a friendship with this much efficiency.

I know, right?

Lol fag

Are you guys Mormons btw?

I am. Skah sure isn't. He's an Atheist.

Darn, I was going to recommend Love SICK to you but it looks like you're 14. Only the older and cooler kids can read such things. Oh well.

Lol, Skah really is a a massive bitch if he’s more thin-skinned than a furry Mormon.

I'm not even sure why Skah left in the first place. Nobody insulted him until AFTER his friend showed up and told us that he left because people were supposedly being "mean" to him, when in fact everyone was pretty civil.

Oh well, faggots gonna faggot.

Neurotypicals just can't understand.
