i serialized a novel in the google groups Church of the Subgenius community, but it was a Subgenius novel, and they were more or less inclined to find it entertaining. if i posted it here, people would shit on it from a great height.

I find that to be a big issue, this is a place where people come to take bitter angry shits. Also, I've never heard of subgenius. Are novels still serialized very commonly at all even? Because I think the net is a great place for it, and it has been done successfully before.

Yeah - it's called Practice What You Peach, a story about a peach farmer who hates peaches. It's actually pretty good.

The Lilliad.

Is there more of this?

>>7192006
I kinda had a thing going in critique threads probably ~6 months ago where I would post several recently written pieces of my novel in each thread, and I eventually accrued a decent bit of interest. Many of those who frequented the threads would recognize my prose style or characters. It went ok. Then I self-published and made $11.

>>7194265
yes but in reality the money meant nothing compared to the creation

>>7194274
Thank you very much for this.

>>7194300
that's true. and for a while I was too self-conscious about it to really market it. All in all, 7/10 experience.

your standard subgenius novel is a little like PKD meets Pynchon meets the Marx Brothers meets Bugs Bunny while raping Ren and Stimpy on acid.

posting any original work here is too much like NOTICE ME SENPAI.

also, 87,000 words, broken up into posts of 2000 words each? who is going to solve in that many fucking captchas? not me.

>>7193188
lol, that's pretty funny. old guy's wife sneaks peaches under the yogurt ... old guy fucking hates it. bitch woman.

>>7194274
god it really is pretty decent.

Ben Drowned is the closest thing i can think of

Pure gold, and I want more.

>his name's apples
Lmao

>does anyone have the balls

To received negative comments from underaged NEET who didn't read it on a taiwanese anime board? No thanks!

>>7192006
>Has a novel ever been serialized on a chan or anon board?
Flashbird was.

>>7192051
link?

>>7193188
damn man, i thought there would be more by now

Google "Train Man"

It's published novel based on the threads on 2chan, where a Japanese dude made a thread and it turned into a story

>>7192006
Not serialized, but close enough.

>>7197757

And yes, it's a pretty shitty idea because no one cares and if they do it's to shit on you.

>>7197758
There is also a manga from 2chan called Molester man. As you can guess it's about an anon who was mistaken for a molester but through a series of events he ends up with a real gf.

bumping this in hopes of reading more of the peach story, does anyone have chapter 2 or anything furhter?

>>7193188
this is actually pretty good

There was a publishers assitant who talked about pushing a fantasy novel with controversial dragon sex awhile back.

>>7199029
I remember that, though somebody claiming to be him did post later and said that he had made it all up. Still, it was amusing to think about.

Bumping this in hopes of reading more of frank the old peach farmer

>does anyone have chapter 2
I got you.
Old dude's so paranoid he's turning into Columbo.

>>7199682
Bless you, anon

>>7197572
link to what? the google group is only open to paid up ministers. but i will give you this.

>>7199682
Thank you. I like how Mira keeps trying to sneak peaches into his food in hopes that he'll start liking them.
