Loose Canon Submissions - East Asian Material

[Platypus Enthusiast]

Ok mateys, so we at the Third Council of Olive Garden have begun thinking about putting together a second edition of the Canon. But we have restructured the way we're doing it to make compilation easier and more organized. So anything written in the spirit of Confucian, Taoist, Shinto, later Buddhist literature can be submitted here. Think like master-student dialogues or wisdom literature. But if you have something that doesn't quite fit that model, then by all means, go for it. Also, if you want a "historical" basis for your work, check out the Torahtellini Part 1 (4:6-11) here: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=20389 And if you want, check out the First Edition of the Loose Canon here http://loose-canon.fsm-consortium.com/the-loose-canon/ for reference.

Just fyi, the official name of this collection has been changed from 'East Asian Material' to the 'Dào Bǎo Jīng' which translates to 'The Canon (Jīng) of the Way (Dào) and the Satiation of Hunger (Bǎo)'

We could really use some material for this section. Think Confucianism, Daoism, Zen. Maybe some koans?

PE, i'm doing something along these lines, and have the first couple of chapters down in another thread (The Great Dark Age), with the rest following in sections. It feels a little like a European story at the beginning, but will slowly evolve into something with more of an Eastern feel. But with pirates! I'm not sure exactly what's going to happen, as i'm writing it on the fly, but hopefully it will collect a few tenets of Eastern philosophy along the way.

My story of 7 chapters is now finished, but i've changed the name to Penne and the Art of Pasta Making. Hope you like it.
