BS Concept

[InTheCafeteria]

I don't know if I've ever expressed this before, but writing for Brother Scorn is, at times, rather difficult.  Possibly moreso than I make it seem.  As a character in and of himself, even lacking a true physical description [by design] or clear motives, he's gradually become much more strange and almost convoluted than when he started.  This is likely especially apparent in my newest installment, "Cobble Stone".

Basically, I guess what I'm saying is that even I don't really entirely know what's up with Brother Scorn, and this is part of what makes him difficult [though still incredibly fun] to write for.  You kind people here at indyfluency have led me to believe that you seem to have perhaps something of an affinity for him.  Also, you're all very talented writers in your own respects.

I'd like to know what people think of me allowing some of you to try your hand at a BS installment.  I'd very much like to see other takes on him, instead of simply having him exist through my interpetations alone.  That's not how I see him anymore.  After all, he's affected countless people's lives, so there should be nearly countless different views of him to match.

Opinions?  Is this a stupid idea?  Would you rather I just keep it to myself?  Or do you maybe have a couple ideas in mind, and you think you'd like to try your hand at it?  I would not set up any boundaries.  Any medium, any form, any situation or premise.

I'm curious...

Nah, that sounds really awesome! I'll probably write one sometime.

[neoeno]

That would be way awesome. And you're right, Brother Scorn is awesome in a way only Brother Scorn could be.

I'm actually including collaborative series in IF2.

[ironypills]

That sounds like a good idea.

Although, truth be told, I already have.

Awhile back, when I commented on one of his pieces about my old Spite stories, I decided it would be fun to write one with both of them in it. It was really bad.

Sort of like freddy vs jason, but .. not?

But anyway,

That sounds like a good idea.

Milk: Awesome

Neo: Great, I was actually just about to try and suggest that as a possible feature for IF2.

Irony: That sounds incredibly awesome.  I'd like to read it, actually.  If not that, maybe a redone one?  Again, I'd really like to read some Spite stuff.

I am not reecogniising spite, enlighten me/us ironypillz0rz.

[ironypills]

I told inthecafeteria about it!

Awhile back I wrote some weird little Spite pieces, I had almost forgotten about them until I finally got around to reading BS.

They are kind of similar, except BS is more kickass.

Anyway, I went back through them, and tried rewriting some.

If anyone ever feels like doing this, please, feel free.

I wanna see.

I always get annoyed when Brother Scorn: is three short paragraphs consisting of 2-4 sentences each.

You input is greatly appreciated.

I like those actually. I mean, the longer stuff is great, but it's nice to have shorter ones also. There's a metaphor on the tip of my tongue (fingers?), but I can't quite think of it. Ah well. Anyway, my vote is that variety of length is good.

Short=sweet is what you're looking for. Nanaimo bars are good. Ever have a really massive one? then you vomit.
Not that brother scorn makes me vomit! He rocks at any length. But short is nice.

I've just written a Brother Scorn. InThe Cafeteria, say the word and I'll take it down if you don't like i, but it's kinda funny.

[TheMilkman]

I just wrote a Brother Scorn, too. It's cleverly titled "brother scron".
