Considering the amount of emails I have been receiving lately, I wanted to start this off with a bit of a disclaimer
This is a story. It is based in truth but it is still a story. How much of it is true and how much isn’t is entirely up to you to decide.
When I started Uni a year prior to the story, I began using a journal to help keep track of all my assignments, classes, homework, etc. This persisted when the events of the story happened and it ended up turning into a sort of diary… no homo.
Fast forward 7 months and after going over my journal one night with a few drinks, I was struck with an overwhelming urge to try and weave it into some sort of narrative. Before I even knew it, I’d written over 45,000 words. I essentially wrote everything up to day 3 in a single night.
Now keep in mind that I am a science major and until this, the extent of my writing thus far had consisted of very formal reports/investigative papers and maths assignments. This was the first time I had ever written ‘fiction’ so to speak. However it became an immediate stress release for me. Honestly, I just began typing from my heart, drawing on my own memories along with my journal as a reference point.
I had to tweak some parts of the timeline, swapping something that happened on one day with a different day for example, in order to ensure the days flowed together nicely. I couldn’t have one day hitting 20,000 words of intense feels only to have the next day just involve sitting on the couch playing vidya… My aim has always been to entertain, not give a perfectly historically accurate recount of events. I also never set out to prove anything.
With that aside, there are two things I want to point out in relation to how this story is structured.
- Firstly, none of the pictures are real; they are just there to give a visual representation of events. WordPress is fairly relaxed when it comes to adult image’s however I have removed any images that could be deemed as a breach of the WordPress Content Policy and replaced them with a link. So when you get to a part of the story that would otherwise contain a considerably naughty picture, you will find this:
<WARNING: EXPLICIT IMAGE – CLICK TO VIEW>
(opens in new tab)
Clicking it will just bring up the image in a new tab. WordPress is happy, You’re happy, I’m happy.
- Secondly, this story is riddled with obscure cultural references and meme. Many of you won’t have a problem with it. But there are an increasing number of viewers that are coming from outside the chan culture and quite frankly I’m getting tired of constantly having to go through the Editing Google doc and decline all the grammar and spelling suggestions to correct things that are intentionally the way they are. So to help people understand the jokes that might otherwise fly right over there head or get passed off as horrible spelling, I have hyperlinked the first occurrence of each to a knowyourmeme page with a detailed explanation. Look for the blue words. Their clickable!
So perhaps my story will provide you with some sort of insight, maybe it will motivate you in some way… Hell you can read the whole thing with your dick in one hand if it floats your boat. I just hope you enjoy it. I have certainly gained a lot personally from this in an introspective sort of way, along with a new found passion for story writting.
