She looks like she has shit feet

>>14648375
This. Footlets should be exiled to ice floes

>>14648370
your first mistake was submitting it to randoms instead of your bros. post excerpts, fag

>>14648382

>>14648370
Why does she not wear hijab? People suspect the worst in these girls...

>>14648375
>>14648379
Ew. Incels can miss me with their foot fandom.
>>14648370
Maybe you should believe women.

>>14648370
her face won't age well, i'm telling you.

>>14648370
Is that Dinklage's daughter?

>>14648385
I liked it, desu. I’m interested to see where it’s going.

>>14648385
lol no way Gogol influenced you, Megan

>>14648370
What's your email?

>>14648370
if everyone got what they deserved we'd all be smears on the ground

OP is acting like that which he claims to hate and farming (you)s because his "magnum opus" wasn't respected. Imagine thinking your magnum opus comes at 30. No (you) for you OP, until we get an excerpt. Until then, the girl's opinion stands unchallenged.

>>14648626
Fool my first novel was read by one of the top agents in NYC. He gave me his personal email for when I have a new manuscript. This little girl's remarks were devastating. She rolls her eyes to the back of her head. She sips from the coffee mug. She lets her tongue hang out her lips joking with her sister. Those same senses were the first to experience my greatest work and react with total brutal ignorant dismissal. There is no cuckery in this world so stinging.

>>14648370
I don’t believe you’ve written anything worthwhile, if you had, you wouldn’t be the type of person to be surprised or demoralized by a teenage girl not liking your work. Grown, educated critics have dismissed the work of brilliant writers, you’re surprised she didn’t like your stuff? Cheap bait.

The girl's opinion stands. Sorry your writing is trash compared to a 16 year old's YA vampire novel.

>>14648370
>Google "booktube"
>this girl pops up first
>she's from Langley, BC
Lol

>>14648737
The fact it is by a no nothing teenage girl is way worse than a professional critic. I have got trashed by critics before and even had a nasty exchange with one. But nothing is worse than the appalling disgust response of a teen girl laughing at you with their friends. It is a living nightmare being the first response of your greatest work. Suicide fuel.

>>14648763
She is a stupid airhead who trashes the work of Shakespeare and rates John Green novels 5 stars

>>14648385
It's way to postmodern to be influenced by Gogol but it's interesting. Expected compleat crap but got pleasantly surprised.

The girl's opinion stands.
>>14648850

Don't tell me what to do fagget

>>14648765

HAHA holy shit, that's funny

>>14648370
Considering this is not a larp, why exactly would you want to appeal to the masses? Do you want to end up in the same category as the person who wrote that vampire YA?

>>14649245
you might not realize how little writers make. i'm 50/50 on if this is a larp. "award winning" is possible because it includes gems like the duluth librarians association gold medal for best debut novel set in minnesota.

>>14649270
No, I do know that writers don't make much money unless they are someone very mainstream. But if you were to appeal to the masses then wouldn't you be basically whoring yourself out for money?

>>14648370
why do you care? g-d, a thread died for this

>>14648370
>I've hired a teenage girl and forced her to read my shitposting-induced elucubrations.
Exquisite. You are all wrong thinking he did it to get any critique. OP is a man of sophisticated taste, he only wanted to mentally abuse the poor girl. His manuscript is now infused with her tears and is guaranteed to get pretty much every minnesotan library award on day one.

>>14649293
i think there's a way to write with popular appeal while still putting forward your ideas and keeping your voice. it's like writing a villanelle, you're constrained by the form but that's the test of your creativity. after you establish your name and don't have to drag your ass into a day job anymore you'll have more freedom to push boundaries.

>electing to get BTFO by a total pleb

There is no sane reason for you to be feeling torn apart because some stupid twat thought your book was boring. This type of insecurity is utterly ridiculous, OP.

I think >>14649344 is right on the money in assessing the overall situation at hand here. Get a fucking grip, OP.

>>14649300
>>14649245
the thought of dying and not be received at all would be frightening. I want to do what Dickens or Hugo did, not that I have their talent, but create universal works with great craft but also have all my autism.

>>14649344
maybe a little of that. I had the thought 'wow this is the greatest thing she will ever read. does she even realize it?' she didn't.

btw she ended up messaging me just now saying if I contact her again she'll call the police. so

>>14649455
Jesus Christ, anon...

>>14648370
Enjoy explaining hate speech to the RCMP, OP.

>>14649455
Tell her if she doesn't give you a satisfying critique immediately that you are going to shoot yourself in the face in front of her house.

>>14649455
You fucked with the wrong booktuber fandom, foot freaks

>>14648370
She looks like she got chunky feet with swollen toes

>>14648626
>Imagine thinking your magnum opus comes at 30.
Daily reminder that DFW wrote Infinite Jest at age 32.

We can all go kill ourselves now.

Also I see what OP is trying to do but the style isn't lucid enough for me and it seems somewhat forced. When I read Bukowski the degeneracy seems 100% genuine.

>>14649473
STFU, I swear Canadian incels are the worst, yuck

>>14648370
She's unattractive so I don't see how her opinion matters

>>14648385
horrible

>>14649497
Lol do you need a magic system, cuck?

>>14649478
"We don't need more Bukowskies." - Bukowski

>>14649508
I don't disagree, but from what OP has shown he appears as a low rent Bukowski, so if you're gonna do it at least do it right...

>>14649455
Well, at least you are ambitious.

>>14648385
Is that excerpt yours? It's actually pretty interesting.

This is a matter of personal preference really, but I think you'd be better off without those time stamps. A more streamlined approach, something like Kokoro by Natsume Soseki, would work better, I feel.

But let me get this straight. You hired her, as in paid her money and all, and she refused to do what she was paid for?

>>14648385
Very whimsical and feminine, OP. Do you have a bio-puss? I can almost smell the zesty dapples of woman on your finger tips

>>14648370
>magnum opus
>took three years to write
Not even on her side, but this part of your post just left me picrel

>>14648385
Shit like this is why I read classic lit. Synthesizing everything that is aesthetically repugnant about modern life into words just makes my skin crawl. It sounds so fucking bad, like pure, distilled drek, more horrifying and grotesque than any of Huxley's imaginations. I can't even weigh the writing fairly because I am so biased against the very subject matter. If words could make me puke, I would. So maybe it is good, I don't even fucking know anymore. I just want off this wild ride.

>>14649549
While I don't despise such pieces of writing as much as you seem to, I agree with what you are saying.

>>14649455
OP, if you really want your name to live on, then you should write something that stands out, something unique, not something that has been written time and time again in the past century.

>>14648370
Dios mío, la goblina del norte.

>>14649549
THE FUTURE IS NOW, OLD MEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JUST ACCEPT THAT OUR HORRIBLE EXISTENCE CAN ONLY BE MATCHED WITH PROSE JUST AS TERRIBLE DESCRIBING OUR TORMENT UP TO A POINT WHERE SELF-DIGUST IS FELT AS UNBEARABLE AS IT TRULY IS WHICH IS WHY OP'S BOOKTUBER GIRL ESCAPES INTO VAMPIRE DYSTOPIAS AS IT IS STILL MORE PLEASANT THAN REALITY AND AT THE FUCKING LEAST HAS A PLOT TO TELL UNLIKE OP'S MY DIARY DESU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>14649549
>Huxley's imaginations
What do you enjoy the most?

>>14649568
This. Booktubers in 2020 have to deal with a volatile feetpic market that may never return to it's previous highs on top of organized incels trying to game the publishing system

>>14649582
had a hearty smeck at that my droog

>>14649572
Of Huxley or lit in general? I've only BNW because of meme starter packs and I had a burgeoning interest in dystopian fiction when I was first trying to cultivate an interest lit. But BNW at least had a relative degree of separation from the reality we now occupy, so there was some "fun" to be had in reading it. This isn't fun, it's just depressing.

>>14648370
How many times does this little brap hog flush before her thicc fecal masts are swallowed into Canada's plumbing?

>>14649606
As many times as it takes, presumably...

>>14648370
Wait hold up, you dumb niggers actually pay cash money to let complete amateurs/borderline illiterates read and critique your work? And they have no obligation to actually do either after accepting payment?

>>14648626
>Imagine thinking your magnum opus comes at 30

Isn't that fairly common among writers?

>>14649636
There's a burgeoning market of ethnic and sexual minorities who will read books written by straight white people to make sure there are no thought crimes present. Publishers use them and will cancel books if they don't get passed by these grifters.

>>14649636
Presumably, only OP is a dumb enough nigger to subject himself to such an unfortunate arrangement.
But I mean in a way he was being quite shrewd--who else but a teenage girl would resonate with his hypermaterialistic 21st century schlock?

>>14649652
If this trend continues I'm going to die in the gutter, fuck me

>>14649652
that is depressing. the only alternative is independent publishing, and i really don't want to namefag around repugnant social media in order to gather a substantial enough following to sell a thousand books.

>when people who look at the world and see only a collection of surfaces try to write

I'm surprised the booktuber didn't like it to be honest, it seems right in line with modern 'literature'

>>14649764
That's exactly why she didn't like it. She wants to stay under the impression that shit like Rupi Kaur's poems are deep and that she too can write like that and be considered good.

>>14649764
op probably left out the opening chapter's twelve page dialectic about feet

>>14649787
Gotta stick with feet of color, senpai. That's what the normies pay for.

>>14649787
>>14649909
This. OP's most damaging omission was to fail to include the feet of a queer POC.

Is there a /lit/ writing group? (I mean an email group; I don't want to post it on the chons)

Despite the obvious memeing ITT i feel OP's work was given some valuable criticism.
Being on the ass-end of infinite form responses hasn't improved my writing any I don't suspect.

>>14648385
>OP didn't take his meds the novel

Not another one. You're not fucking Pynchon, Johnny

>>14648385
>>14648454
Only one faggot here other than myself recognized Meg posting. You all actually took this ESL larper at face value. He has yet to provide an excerpt of his writing and even got away with >>14649455
Nobody batted an eye at that? Not a single soul?

>>14648385
The fuck is this trash? Reminds me of excerpts from that duck book that got spam posted here a couple months back

>>14649964
The fact of the matter is OP is irrelevant and we are just using his/her work as a springboard for discussing things of relevance.
Nobody really gives a shit whether OP is fake and posting a joke, or genuine and just a bad writer.

Because they said something negative about your infantile self-absorbed garbage that doesn't even deserve to be printed on toilet paper?
