Thanks friend. Deathauthoranon has a few imitators answering questions for him but I will do my best to share my (actual) piece when I see it.
I'm just a Straight, balding white male that turned 35 on the 28th (happy birthday me woo) that has a gothic streak. I'm really boring if I'm not embellishing everything.

No you're not damned forever. I had Viking Publishing call me back way back when when I was actively requesting agents. Take it from someone who actually did the walks; if you want to get an agent, email them. If not, they will not seek you. If you want customers to find your books seek them. Advertise. If not, they will not seek you because they do not know you exist.
That's the easiest way to put it. Now the hard part of course...is plotting a course of action.
Oh and knowing the right people obviously helps a lot. An author with an uncle in the Authors Guild is obviously going to have a leg up.
This industry is a fight. So fight.
