I am in the process of making a webnovel about a breadoholic praying mantis that has to deal with a shizton of weird and paranormal stuff like a ghost, cannibal, killer bread, demons, and more.
THE CHARACTERS
>Manny P.(Pain) Baker
The main character of the series, Manny is a breadoholic mantis that lives in the Breadhouse. He is mostly calm and friendly in nature, but gets manic over bread and the making of it, making loaves of it daily and owning tons of related items. He is somewhat unmoved by all the unexplained phenomena that occurs near ‘his’ house, but does get spooked a bit during these incidents time to time. He is a homebody only leaving the Breadhouse for times when the Homeowner is not available to bring more bread ingredients to him or if resolving anomalous incidents call for him to leave the house.
>Unnamed Homeowner
A secondary character that shows up during many chapters/episodes. He is the owner of both the house in which Breadhouse is located in and Breadhouse itself. He is rather helpful and kind to Manny, doing things like bringing him bread ingredients and making tools and weapons for him to use. But this stems mostly from the fact he is unaware of Manny, and thinks his dollhouse is haunted and/or cursed, and seeks to appease it to prevent harm to him, regardless of him being paid in bread by Manny for his deeds. His face has never been shown, with a hand being all we or Manny is shown/given a description of.
>Parry D.(Du) Pwayer
A recurring character that shows up from time to time. Parry is the pastor friend of Manny that tends to help him when certain incidents become too much to handle on his own, especially ones involving spirits or things of that nature. He is good-natured, but sometimes slightly rags on Manny for things like his bread obsession, occasional lack of courage, and his unwillingness to leave his home for things other than bread and fix his weird issues. In addition to being skilled in dealing with many supernatural matters, Parry is versed in many non-spiritual skills like ninjitsu, guns, rodeo, and martial arts. He also seems to do well in more mundane things like cooking and sports.
Ask me anything about my WIP story(within reason) to help me flesh out my story. If I ever get to the point of writing it, I will let you guys know and link you too here.
How do you plan on staging the part where menstual blood flushes out of the girls vegana and all over the stage and then crabs come and eat her flesh?
I know this is a troll, but I will still answer. No, their will be no havings of periods. I mean human/humanoid girls/women are pretty rare in the story, I mean I think the only humanoid woman(or maybe more so teen girl) I planed on putting in the story is the ghost of a doll(maybe action figure), that doll was female. Might change down the line, so you might get more human(ish) females.
Their are no flesh eating crabs in the story, well not yet I guess, I might change my mind later. I do have MANtiseating living bread as a monster. The closet thing to crablike in the story is this head monster with the limbs of a crab, but it mostly eats bread.
Are there any breads that eat Mantises?
Have you attempted an I-Ching divination to write your book?
Yes there are living loafs of breads that try to eat mantises, well mostly try to eat Manny to be honest.
No type of magic/witchcraft/occult was used consciously by me, although the title 'Manny The Mantis' does equal 666 so idk.
Even though you only throw me crumbs here, OP, I would loaf the story. Maybe you'll be awarded with a literary prize for it and get to fly Pan-Am to the award ceremony!
Anymore questions anons?
Does the homeowner live in a giant bread house? Is the bread house in which Manny lives a replica of the homeowner's house? Is the bread house made of bread, and is Manny going to eat it when the hand fails?
No, the UH lives in a normal house. Also nope, the Breadhouse is shaped like, but is not, a loaf of bread. Manny is the only one bread obsessed. The Breadhouse is more of a cute unique item for the UH, not a sign of enthusiasm for bread.
If UH stops helping feed, then Manny will just venture to the kitchen to get more supplies as he does rarely
Really, and I mean really, stupid question, but could you do a story after this about a bus that is a Vampire? Dracula Bus, if you will.
Perhaps, I was a Magic School Bus fan as a child, so I might like to make a story about a blus(blood+bus).
Welp, please give me more questions if you have them.
You can ask about things like characters, monsters, and what not.
Come on, I know you anons are curious.
I like your thread but I don’t have any questions, sorry.
Thanks. But fr, not even one?
Is this your first novel?
What themes have you/will you explore in other novels?
Selfbump, hopefully an anon with questions come along.
Will the novel be a post modern deconstruction of capitalism or more a meta modern reconstruction of feudalism under corpostates?
Neither, seeing as There are only 3(returning) characters, and the main one lives kinda in the middle of nowhere IG. If anything, it will showcase addictions, faith in the Christianity religion, and a bit of conspiracies here and there. but maybe there will be something about tech bad at the end, maybe...or maybe...tech good? Oh, well there is a Nazi wienerroach trying to take over the world basically in a chapter, make of that what you will.
just because you can doesnt mean you should
you are creatively bankrupt and lacking in aesthetic sense
How so? Do explain.
