    Default If King were to write a fictionalized version of your life

    what would it be called?

    This has probably been done before, my apologies if that is the case.

    sorry dude.

    but if he did that for me, it would be a flop. Even the SK name wouldn't sell that thing.

    well this is different than the other thread i think. the other one is about books he has already written.

    this would be a new book. hmmmmmmmmm, imma have to think on this
    I have many leather bound books.
    I'm kind of a big deal.


    Changing the plans that I’ve been setting on, I’m scared by the way that my life is getting gone

    If everyone keeps this difference in mind and follows it, both threads will remain; if not, they will be merged.

    Why King?
    If I have a theory as to what a fictionalized version of my life by some other writer would be called, would that go in this thread?
    I'm sorry; just saying that this seems like a pretty complex concept for a thread.

    I kind of agree. I don't think King would enjoy writing about my life. Its not scary. Danielle Steele on the other hand...

    Mine has already been written, it is Lucky Jim by Kingsley Amis.

    If this thread proceeds along these lines, it will have to be renamed and moved to another forum (nothing wrong about that, though).

    Mine would be a strange mixture of Bridget Jones,Narnia and Alchemist.

    The title would be something like 'Lost Way Home', preferably by Neil Gaiman.

    Right, so do that everyone because that's what I intended. In fact I looked at the other thread and said "hmm how can I switch this up!"

    Mine would be about an English school teacher (me) who realises that if she concentrates very hard she can make her favourite students write down the good answers in the tests.
    She has a favourite student, a very shy girl Lindi who has a very nice heart knows everything but always gets stressed when it comes to writing a test. She has only low grades. The teacher tries to help her all the time but it's way too late when she realises she has given much more to Lindi than she wanted... she didn't share her thoughts with her. She transported them. She transported many of her memories and feelings, too. The teacher can remember neither her favourite poems nor her mother's face. Lindi starts to get insane and think she is the teacher and the teacher stole her life. Horrible and bloody fight starts between them. And who is who?
    Neither of them is sure anymore. They together are one whole person and this must come to an end.

    Roland would have understood.

    If Franz Kafka could be resurrected, I think he'd better be the one to put me into fiction.

    Huh... I am crazy about Kafka but being in one of his books. I couldn't take it for long. Not as the main character.

    I think mine would be about an office woker who is working Saturday overtime, alone - or at least so she thinks......... I always think empty offices are really spooky.

    If I was in a horror novel i would be the person who all the shit is happening to and my stubborn other half wouldnt acknowledge the spooky goings on and just keep telling it's all in my mind or something.

    I don't think he'd like to write about mine. It'd be a regular student's story with travelling added

    Right but you get it. That'd be entitled "Student days" or something cheesy like this
