A Novelization

'Ira Le Jon' for the interesting man?

 

How long has he had tulpas for? When did he start?

 

(in the story I mean, it would affect how he came to know of tulpas)

 

In the story, he would be the equivalent of a user who first discovered them via /x/, in the beginning of the movement. Then he would have migrated to /mlp/ (though I think I'm going to gloss over or change that part, for copyright reasons), and finally, here.

 

By the story's start, he has six full tulpas, the oldest having been sentient for three years. He's also respected within the community, though he's never written a "guide", per se.

 

In most ways, though, he has moved on from the group, and only remains to offer advice and occasional thoughts.

 

Also, why Ira Le Jon? Is there a specific reason, or is it just because it sounds cool? Because it does sound cool. :D

[Shui]

He could actually predate the movement, if you like. I knew about tulpas before it, though I hadn't made one, and we have a few users on the forums who either made tulpas not knowing what they were, or followed the ancient Tibetan way, which has been known in the Western world since the 1920s.

Simple Latin/French pun 'I am many'. Just as is mine own (Donna Nobillis 'the noble one').

I know I'm late to the game, but I wanted to provide some words of encouragement, and express my interest in reading whatever you [have] manage/d to squeeze out.

 

I would give permission to use me and/or my story, but there are a few major impediments: 1.) A fictional, illustrated adaptation of the account is already in the plans. 2.) I haven't shared it (in its entirety) on these forums yet. 3.) Copyright issues are a real threat.

 

Nevertheless, I think it might be a topic worthy of discussion, depending on your preferences and proclivities where writing is concerned. It's certainly a unique, if quasipsychotic, tale of tulpa.

Forgive my ignorance of proper Latin, but wouldn't "I am many" translate to something like "ego sum pluram," or "ego pluribus"? I get that "LeJon" is "legio" (although in Roman contexts, a 'legion' generally denoted war and military), but I'm lost on "ira". All I'm getting is, "I are a legion".

 

It's unnerving to me that the name I heard for my first tulpa, which initially seemed like scrambled drivel, was eventually revealed to be an almost perfect contraction of two Latin words that translated as "to have clarity/purity".

You're not "late to the game" in any respect, don't worry. This is going to take a long time under the best conditions, and I've been busy/procrastinating/forcing during most of my normal writing hours lately.

 

As for your story, I must confess that I'm not familiar with you yet. I'll look into it, however.

 

Also, I'd like to announce that I'm adding the first draft of the first chapter to the first post. Commenting privileges are universal, but if they're abused I will close them off.

Please. Indent. PLEASE. (Sorry, it's realllyyy bothering me.)

Also, there's no need for a space after every paragraph... you ever look at a book? (Wait that's a stupid question.) There's only spaces to separate certain sections of a chapter, not to separate each paragraph.

 

But otherwise, DAT WAS AWESHUME. I commented a few times, but they're minor things.

 

1. The entire tone seems very analytical, straightforward, and serious. With that in mind, it kinda caught me offguard she called Gabriel by his first name the moment she met him. I expected a few "Mr. Sterne"s before she started that. I dunno, that was just me probably. Though the host would probably call him Mr. Sterne... I'd think.

 

2. You forgot a quotation mark. That's all.

 

{I loved it! It was intriguing and a wonderful illustration of a man with imposed tulpas! ^w^ It flowed nicely at a consistent pace and didn't lose me for a second!}

There's nothing to look into, save for a few scattered fragments. I'm extremely hesitant to share anything about my account on here due to personal reservations and the boards' notoriously poor reception of its proffered subject matter. It's still a solid tulpa experience, albeit one conducted in ignorance of this (or any other related) community.

 

(EDIT: The most informative tidbits are here, here and here, although the last link is an unnecessarily discursive semi-debate.)

 

If, for whatever reason, you're interested, I can note you once I've posted the first part (with images!). Or I can provide a significantly truncated summary for your critical assessment.

 

As for your link, I'll definitely be reading as soon as I can. Just glancing over the format, I have to agree with Zer0 on the merits of indentation, but I don't think the paragraph spacing is a problem for digital media. I would consider the classic paragraph style for printing only.

 

That's just aesthetics versus function though. Obviously the real devil is in the details of your delivery.

This is actually the old way to do it. Paragraphs used to alwaysw be separated by blank lines. I think it was the printing press that made people want to conserve space with indents instead of blank lines. Now, on the internet, we have infinite space to work with, so a lot of people are going back to the old way. I personally write most of my drafts in internet-style and only go back and change them to indents for the final draft.

Agreed. Really, as long as you used paragraphs, you're gold.

Yeah I know (I'm not just saying that either, in case you think i am just to stop from sounding stupid >.>; I dunno, I felt the need to clear that up), but it bothers meeee jakhdakljsdlkas. At least indent, seriously e.e; The blanks I can deal with since it's a draft, but they're blocks of freaking text and it looks weird oAo
