Dude definitely does NOT deserve to be published though.
it looks like it's been further changed? hilariously, the link on the main site now goes to wikipedia's page on "cease and desist" rather than the page containing the manuscript
also how he was clearly just waiting for someone to notice his mastercrime
and yeah I guess the hacking is over
/insert joke about the st louis cardinals
what's the endgame here? becoming the enfant terrible of letters and everyone has a good laugh?
also that's not blackmail, it's extortion
getting someone to read his book
NONE OF HIS FRIENDS WILL READ HIS BOOK, OKAY
"“an acid western, half-Cormack McCarthy, half-Hunter S. Thompson.”\
this sounds like hell on earth
oh keep reading to his email
So a little backstory… I spent five years in an alcohol-induced haze writing this novel and then got to the end of it and started approaching publishers and agents.
it does not sound like he has edited this novel,
My book is about three fucked up brothers who are being chased across America so that one of them can be reconnected with his estranged family before he dies. Oh and they’re being tracked by a fallen angel.
The novel is a depressing, fragmented, disorienting melodrama, but it does have its bad points too.
querying is miserable and novels are hard to sell but also this guy is bad
he's aiming for this "look at me I'm so wacky and post-modern and yet also sad " thing but it doesn't work because he's clearly some on some super narcissist 2 shit
it's like he has this idea that he's Good At Writing so he doesn't obsessively self-edit like people who are actually good at writing
and obviously he hasn't worked with a good editor or he would have learned to do that
tbf he'd clearly need to pay a good editor and why do that when you can just pay for some other author's website
anyway this led to me and my friend plotting our YA vampire romance novel
the protagonist is a plucky nun but she's not like other nuns
the antipope is also a plot point
we're working the antipope in
also I just registered antipope as a dw username… how is antipope not taken
if the pope and the antipope shake hands, do they explode
are you going to rp the antipope
i don't know what i would use this for it's purely my love of the antipope title
