I remember when this guy was spamming his book nonstop on /lit/ as well. He was a mod and was totally abusing his privileges during that time. It was so unbelievably shameless and annoying that it made me stop browsing /lit/ for a while.

I guess I underestimated just how badly some people want to be respected by the people of their favorite board. They’re willing to spend a literal month of their lives advertising here for the highly unlikely chance of their shitty book receiving praise instead of writing something else; something better.

I wrote this book last year and never really told anyone. It got a bite from one agent, then fell through, so I just said fuck it and threw the ebook version online and never promoted it. Working on something entirely different now.

Hey everyone,

I've posted some of my writing in a different thread, and I just wanted to let you all know in case anyone's interested. I don't want to spam the board or anything, but I figure it can't hurt to share. I'm still pretty new to this community and I don't feel like I'm at the same level as some of the other 4chan authors yet (F Gardner is amazing!), but I'd appreciate any feedback if you're feeling generous.

Thanks, and happy reading!

The author had banner ads up and I saw a thread or two but he didn’t shill hard for it and so it was ignored; it was a few years ago, not too long ago, but I feel like maybe just before Gardner.

We'll see. If no agent wants my book for whatever reason I'll probably release it on wattpad or some shit like that and then post it here.

I've mentioned the project in passing throughout the years, some extremely vigilant posters might remember since it's not like there are that many finnish writers in here. (project is being worked on in english though, currently the wordcount is around 170k, still around 5-10k missing and then I'll do the editing/ cleanup round)

Funnily enough 4chan is actually mentioned/ included in the book although it's only referred to as "the /tv/ board" since the other main character briefly mentions Warwick threads and how he was either ignored or banned for being off topic multiple times while trying to contact people through 4chan for help

I was actually considering it was a marketing angle to spark up interest for the project but I would've needed a small film set tier location since people would've obviously asked me to take a pic with a timestamp if they even engage with the material at all (in this case pretending to be the character trapped inside his nightmare room)
