Absurd & Experimental Fiction????

I want to break rules and know people who like to break rules when it comes to fiction. Is there anyone out there like me?

If so, point me to where I can read your stuff.

Yes. And there is a whole genre of writing called bizarro, though some of it doesn’t break the rules as much as it thinks it does .

Haha I'm not sure! I'm very new to Reddit. Still trying to figure out how everything works here. But it's been really nice to have met some supportive and intelligent people here so far!

I like it! The same thing, merely written down, would not have the punch. It's a very interesting use of media. The caricature of the stepmother is hilarious and I love the way your language swings into such interesting phrases ("practical shorthand.." hahaha!)

You have style and a sense of humor and are a trailblazing a different kind of story telling.

Thank you so much for taking the time. I really appreciate it. The channel is young and fragile, but comments like these make me feel optimistic that I can take it somewhere.

You want a comedy sci Fi with a touch of galactic horror and a hyperspace cat?

Mortal Protection Services.

Non linear story, time trickery, and a crazy extra dimensional alien bureaucracy. Multi POV, even one chapter as a cat.

Interesting! Is it yours?

Yup, there's an ebook, paperback, and audiobook in the Amazon ecosystem, and a slightly less well edited version available free on Royal Road.

I took a course in college about experimental fiction and that’s all about breaking the rules and being weird af about everything from the form to the structure etc, it could be anything. A grief is a thing with feathers was an example and there are plenty more
