Dear Original Poster,

You've really knocked it out of the park with this one, bravo, well done! Fantastic prose and profound phonetics. I love the musicality of it all, the short staccato turns to a swelling storm that simply saunters on to become one dashing crashing crescendo of a climax. The story takes just enough of your attention that you don't see it coming, the linguistic upppercut with enough punch to disorient even the most proficient of professors.
If you'd like to exchange contact information I would love to chit chat about your work in more detail! you can reach me at 1-800-69 or 69@doctorOfLove.com

Best,

What if i publish on amazon under a pseudonym? Then when it fails no one will be able to trace that failure to me and conventional publishers will still be available as an option to me.

Please give me your insight.

Isn't it more ethical to make citizens pass a test before they can freely vote?

You wouldn't let people drive without passing a vigorous driving test. I think it's pretty dangerous to let just anybody vote if they don't understand what their vote means and its consequences.

I'm thinking of writing fanart bait.

Maybe it's putting the cart before the horse, but I want my book to produce a rash of Tumblrite fanart of the characters.

How should I go about this? I get the feeling that Dickens would be man to look at for "fanart bait" inspiration. If only he had written in the age of Tumblr.
