I don't want to argue with the reasoning, but damn this whole evening felt like having Land over for dinner but he'll get mad if you mention computers

also this. but it's literally personal preference too. he screens so much edgy shite for work, he's developed intense disdain for it and wants nothing to do with it in his free time, during which this favor will technically be done.

oh well, here goes my sjw reboot of the hungry caterpillar jej

>uncle is high-tier bigbrain at one of the biggest publishers in the country
my advice: don't lend him any money

>>12349150
thanks for the hearty kek. but no, he's a fairly good lad, no triple parentheses and pretty much just a glorified office drone with an impeccable eye for writing that normies will flock to like geese.

Are you such an edgelord that you just need sex and violence in your book?

>>12349738
I think it's a matter of
>don't do X
>can only think about X

nothing to do with edgelord, but some of it can and will naturally develop as plot advances.
like, he's not about "don't show me a graphic two page description of MC inserting his benis in a baginer", he's at the level of "don't let me even remotely know MC and Female MC's romance extends beyond a tongueless kiss once every fortnight".

someone give this man a Nobel

Send him excerpts of blood meridian (ones without violence) and tell him it’s a novel you’ve been working on. When he says he likes your prose and allusions and whatnot ask him if he wants to read the whole script. When he says yes send him a copy of Blood Meridian on copy paper like a manuscript
