In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Also, nerds are awesome and make great protagonists because they don't break suspension of disbelief when I read about them. Still, if it will appease the class, write in a scene in which 7 eats 9 before blinding itself after seeing 69 in on its kitchen counter.

Hahahaha >_>


Nah, the thing that makes me really sad about this is that it's almost completely killed my desire to write anything.  I just don't feel like it, anymore.

Write a story about what happens after the happy ending.

*Hint-Not happy things.

Is that still one of the 'personal stories'? Because if so, then they just said that you are neurotic, incapable of love, and that you should bone your professor. Not the most polite thing to say to someone, I'd think.

Yeah, this along with the comment that the character is boring and flat, and no one is interested in her  ::)  "Why would we want to hear about an intellectual nerd?  That's BORING!"

Thanks, guys, I figured that one out a few years ago.


In more seriousness, I'm going to write an outline for something else.  They can't seem to handle the fact that the story a. involves math, period and b. doesn't have any sex or violence.  So, I guess I'll write out the fairy tale version or something, and give a billion points to anyone who can recognize it once I'm done.

Here's a suggestion: write a really cheap plagiarization of Conan, complete with an evil sorcerer and a busty princess to rescue. Tell us the results.

(Mind you, this is not supposed to be even remotedly creative or original. Rather, I'm curious as to what their reaction will be when you take their sagely advice and come with a dime-a-dozen pulp story)

And fill it with gay sex metaphors.

Just because.

Rather than metaphors, leave a suspicious undertone. Kind of like the 300 movie did.

Fantasy is always easy to write. Just come up with a generic fantasy world and start writing about it. In my opinion, horror is also easy to come up with a story, but harder to write (there's only so many ways you can describe somebody going insane or being killed).

Never forget the gay sex metaphors though. Every story has to have them, even if they are unintentional (they never should be, and Freud would probably have something to say about that :P)

Someone in the class is writing a story about what seriously sounds like a generic harlequin novel plot/cheap spy thriller.  It's been received with rave reviews.

Right, now I know what kind of class this is :P

Procure a copy of Twilight, rename the characters, get good reviews.

Does it hold interest?

If I have learnt anything in all my years on the internet, it is that everything will have a audience. This in no way relates to the first question. I don't know why I posted this.

The Gaywich Horror? The Gays in the Gay-House? At the Mountains of Gayness? The Gay on the Doorstep?
