What’s the likelihood of winning? There must be thousands submitting.

Low, but writing something is a small prize on its own some could argue. Practice makes skill and all that.

Typically your odds are like 1/2,000 for these contests. They'll probably get 600 submissions per category. I submitted poetry because with crypto I can be fully anonymous.

Competition has good prize money tho. Also Moldbug is judging the poetry (which might be better or worse depending on how much you like his stuff).

>> No.19431736

>>19430708
to be fair, he's read a lot of poetry it seems.

>> No.19431751

You have pretty much no chance of winning. Look at Moldbug’s laughably childish prose for inspiration I suppose.

Yarvin is just about the worst stylist I have ever read. Him judging a poetry contest is hysterical.

It's not about winning, it's about competing against yourself. I'm entering three out of four categories (poetry, creative fiction, creative nonfiction) not because I have any chance of winning but because I want to improve my writing.

Wrong, he's read the entirety of Lovecraft's fiction. Nobody cares about Lovecraft's libtarded letters he wrote as a senile old man

ive heard him say in multiple podcasts that he hasnt read much lovecraft or horror in general. he’s poorly read, a bad writer, and politically illiterate.

>> No.19434156

>>19434121
Ya his stuff is kinda blase to me. I did like The Gig Economy but I feel like his other stuff is a bit too on the nose and is ultimately forgettable. He's pigeon-holed himself so much as a writer for the Dissident Right that the minute this stuff stops being topical (if it ever was) he will be forgotten right away.

That being said he seems like a smart guy and his righting can be technically impressive, but he really needs to leave his comfort zone if he ever wants to reach the higher notes and not be stuck writing kitzschy dime store horror stories for Frog Twitter.

Tell him I said this.
