The FUK'd Movement is a literary style unclearly defined. Amidst the alcohol and pizza I have attempted to define it for all:
Relevance:
I cannot stress this enough- make it fucking relevant! If it doesn't qualify the story or character, leave it out. Because the only thing it's for is to quantify word count, and fuck word count. Don't waste your readers time with bullshit.
Tell Don't Show:
I don't necessarily mean this in the classical view of show and tell in a story, but in a modern aspect of narration. There is nothing I hate more than reading a story, like slogging through the cellulite at your local diner. I want the narrator to tell me a story. Without a strong narrator voice the story deteriorates into a list. I want to be in the mind of someone as they speak to me.
Characterization:
The character is the greatest part of a story- loving or hating them. Too often characters are predictable cogs with opinions. In true characterization the author propels the character to a level of science. Bringing the character to life is the greatest facet of the story. This is accomplished through narration.
Description:
I could give a fuck what a character looks like unless there's some relevancy to it. Nothing I hate more than reading along and the momentum is stopes just to take out time to tell me what color their hair and eyes are. Fuck that! Just tell the Goddamn story. Who the fuck really cares what color someone's eyes and hair are?
Colloquial:
Language is always changing and words disappear and change in meaning as well. We don't speak like some Shakespeare cock-sucking fag anymore, not even close. This goes with narration, keep the vernacular common. Write how you speak. Fuck showing off those million dollar words- it just makes you a douche.
Story:
Above everything the story is the most important; adhere or ignore any previous principle in favor of the story. The story is the only thing that matters. Spend less time concentrating on editing for mass appeal and more time on honing your story.
