The Classics of Literature Rewritten by OccultHawk
 
Given OH's dismissal of my writing, and his already avowed distaste for the kind of exposition favoured by the likes of Dickens and Hugo (I think the actual quote was "Stop ****ing around and just tell me the story, ****!" or something typically Hawkish) I thought it might be fun to explore how he would have written some of the classics of literature, leaving out all what he would consider "the boring ****" and distilling each novel down to its barest essence.

OLIVER TWIST (CHARLES DICKENS)
An orphan boy finds he's fallen in with some bad guys, but he has rich parents so he's all right in the end.

ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND (LEWIS CARROLL)
Some dumb blonde thinks she's having adventures underground but it turns out she's just been dreaming, stupid bitch.

ALICE'S ADVENTURES THROUGH THE LOOKING-GLASS (LEWIS CARROLL)
Same ****, except instead of falling down a rabbit hole she goes through a mirror.

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (JANE AUSTEN)
Some bird isn't attracted to some bloke, then she is and they get married.

NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR (GEORGE ORWELL)
Some guy tries to stand up to the system. The system kicks the **** out of him.

THE WAR OF THE WORLDS (H.G WELLS)
Guy goes forward in time but ****s things up and gets stuck there.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL (CHARLES DICKENS)
An old guy is real mean, but then three ghosts pay him a visit and he becomes good.

Feel free to add your own.

This thread is best paired with coq au vin to balance out the bitter notes.

MicShazam 03-11-2018 01:28 PM

So OccultHawk doesn't like purple prose or long descriptions of environments and characters, or what's this about?

grindy 03-11-2018 01:48 PM

**** you all.
I lol'd. A little.
Go Troll!
Hope this takes off.

Exactly. He complains about Dickens waffling too much, so I thought I'd envision how he would have handled such literature classics. IDGAF, it's all a bit of fun. He can dish it out so I'm sure he can take it.

You’re a quick study. That’s easily the best **** you ever came up with.

I need a breather before I try to retort. You just pulled off seven genuinely funny jokes in a row. Every one of those rewrites is a bullseye.

Trollheart 03-11-2018 02:52 PM

THE LORD OF THE RINGS (JRR TOLKIEN)

A TALE OF TWO CITIES (CHARLES DICKENS)

grindy 03-11-2018 02:58 PM

Naked Lunch (William S. Burroughs)

The two boys were laughing and stroking each others pricks, droppers with clotted blood stuck in their arms, as hordes of black centipedes crawled inside their *******s.

OccultHawk 03-11-2018 03:00 PM

The Grapes of Wrath (John Steinbeck)

or...

A man wrote a rambling book about hating Jews and then became the greatest Jew killer of all time. You really can grow up to be president.

Uncle Tom’s Cabin (Harriet Beecher Stowe)

A strong black slave gives his cotton pickins to older weaker slaves at great peril to himself but instead of respecting him they made his name synonymous with being a sell-out. It’s probably due to illiteracy in the African-American community.

Really? You don't see how he's an authoritarian who would totally make dissenters disappear in the middle of the night if he had the power? Sometimes I forget that you're a right wing dunce.

Trollheart 03-11-2018 04:18 PM

Five Go (Whatever, they're all the same) (Enid Blyton)

Four privileged white middle-class kids and one dog go on adventures and outsmart smugglers and criminals, back in time for tea, cos this is post-war England, bitch!
