This, basically. I'm probably one of the most successful actual witers on this board; I've gotten multiple short stories and over a dozen poems published across various venues over the years. But I'd never namefag here in any meaningful capacity unless my reputation was sufficient that I thought I could get away with it.

I figure if I ever hit it REALLY big, like GRRM or Stephen King big, I might expose myself on here from time to time. At that point my reputation would be sufficiently impressive that association with 4chan wouldn't be able to dent it. But unless and until that day ever comes, there's no point in being a "4chan writer." You're just asking for trouble, and it's hard enough to get published these days as it is.

Darn it.

How the hell am I going to get my book published now?

These are definitely miserable times for the Church, it's as bad as anything during the Renaissance or the pornocracy. My consolation is that if the Church could bounce back from those low points it can bounce back from this one, too.

Any good books that can make me miserable or even more sad? So I can at least have a reason to be upset.
