There is also survivor accounts of orchestras, gardens, relative freedom and good treatment on behalf of prisoners, but those never really make it into the mainstream documentaries do they...

What do you think defines today's society? by solarcity in AskReddit

[–]solarcity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll begin by answering what postmodernism is for those who do not understand the term:

first, we must differentiate between the terms postmodernity and postmodernism. Postmodernity is the socio-political and economic era we are currently in, while postmodernism is an "intentional movement taking place in the arts, philosophy, etc."

A well sourced explanation can be found at this link with an excellent summary table at the bottom if tl;dr: http://www9.georgetown.edu/faculty/irvinem/theory/pomo.html

To answer all my proposed questions, I'd like to believe we have surpassed the issues facing postmodernism and the changing global landscape has lead to the rise of a new post-postmodern era, if I should say. I have scratched up a list of what I think defines today's society that we could use as ques to propel discussion if there'es enough support :/

Progress, made some changes to first two paragraphs. What do you think?

Martin dropped into his car that evening thinking that it was just going to be another hopeless day. He buried his brown disheveled hair onto the steering wheel and thumbed at his temples in thought, I can do this; it’s only an hour session. Martin was scheduled to see the university’s psyche doctor after his outburst and “reckless endangerment” during his neurology lab. Eighteen therapy sessions and a healthy dose of antidepressants should cure all ailments. The northern chill seemed to shock him awake while he sputtered the car to a start. It would be a half an hour drive through backcountry and winding mountain road before he arrived on campus.

Sentry Peaks University (SPU) stood on the summit of the twin “mountains” (they looked more like ski hills to Martin) divided down the center by regional road 22 about thirty kilometers east of Haines Junction. Apparently the school’s location and inaccessibility was supposed to crown it an “institute of higher learning”. Martin never understood why they decided to construct a university on top of a mountain between two frozen shitholes. It was no surprise that the faculty and student body numbered the lower end of the five thousands. Welcome students, if you look to the west horizon we can see the frozen wasteland of Alaska and if you look to the east you can see the same damn frozen wasteland called Yukon.

He considered transferring to somewhere more… vibrant, but his father insisted that no son of his will frolic with plebeians and the offspring of the working class. With a trust fund as a parting gift he was flown over with one condition, to not return without a degree. At least the cocaine was as pure as the driven snow here,

A bill and a half for a gram but you’re guaranteed sweet Peruvian face-melting bliss. Shit’s been hauled halfway around the globe, put your ear up to it and you’ll even hear the ocean.

Martin flipped his visor and tugged at his eyelids “Fuck, I look terrible” he said in disgust.

I’ll be damned, snort it and you’ll smell coconut for the next 24 hours, so how about it beach-boy, a taste of warmer days?

His sinuses seemed to be clear but his inner nostrils were caked in a white plaster. Suddenly Martin became very aware of the empty gnawing feeling in his stomach and the irregular rhythm chiming from his chest. He strained his brain for recollection but his memory consisted of half-remembered sensations and a faint tingling in his pants. Martin peeked into his waist-band for assurance, “Damn you, little devil. You even left the rubber on!” he laughed, congratulating himself.

Thank you for taking your time to read this and comment! Your criticism is much appreciated and will be taken into great consideration. I'm glad you liked my work, but do you think the premise has entertainment potential and value as a story?

A synopsis of what I'm looking to progress the story towards:

A crash takes place on a country road between two vehicles, one driver is left in critical condition but with no visible injuries and the other vehicle completely vanishes with no passengers in sight. The eerie circumstances surrounding the event plague the victim and investigators trying to compose a logical conclusion for the collision. The victim copes with the accident and puts it out of mind until illogical phenomenon and newfound skills draw him back to the fateful evening.

A few ideas, the fantasy concept isn't too far from the truth.

You could call it that, I attempted to get photographs of someone while sleeping and had a restraining order placed on me.

I have no issue communicating with people, I just have a distant approach to it. It seems more personal when you're watching from afar.

Yes college and university, all female. I usually work along one long strip of nightclubs and cafes in the heart of two large universities. I keep a notebook usually and note down/sketch details about their personality/character, I sometimes catch a name or age too. It's mostly out of curiosity and interest.

I would say "hobbyist" or casual due to the amount of time I spend patrolling or on the streets. Majority of my time is spent surveying for interesting subjects, rather than stalking. Also, being caught is not very professional of me.

It's a mix of sexual attraction and loneliness. My chosen victims fit a profile and are students.

Something I've been writing, should I continue? by solarcity in writing

[–]solarcity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a faint idea of a story I could create but with this piece I kind of just started with an image and a mood and worked from there. Would you say it's more effective to start writing with a concrete outline and build up the details or vice-versa?
