All discussion related to Waldun, Jay and Jaidyn and Melbourne Street Art Scene goes here.

>How will history remember him? As a poet? An outsider? An innovator? Misunderstood? An essayist? Or will he be cast off and long-forgotten as one of the many trampled in the rat race of YouTube fame? Let's face who even remembers Smosh? So how does Waldun expect to achieve fame? His one book was a disaster. His second novel is on track to be even worse (he's been paying an editor weekly for over a year and just recently revealed the novel still isn't ready for publication), and it's questionable how much of it will really be Waldun's own writing. Not to mention that he nuked his old websites and stories.

>I don't think history will be kind to Waldun, nor do I think it should.

Cope.

History isn't going to remember him at all; he's just a guy who dresses up and performs what he imagines "being a writer" is like. The tail end of a human centipede of second, third, and fourth-hand Beat cliches. Most students are like that; Robin just happened to gain some minor e-fame, mostly through this place being so bored out of its collective skull it'll gawk at anything. Eventually he'll grow out of it, cringe, and delete everything; it'll be for the best.

Here is an excerpt from an interview. Thread was deleted fast by jannies

Waldun has a round, noble face, a low forehead obscured partly by a mass of curly, black hair. He speaks quickly and with passion. An untimely internet interruption forces us to discard the video chat entirely and move to text chat, where Waldun can show the full prowess of the writerly proficiency which has brought him such admiration from thousands of readers.

>Your interests?

Setting aside the work of writing, which for me is very arduous and meticulous, then all that remains is my Youtube, which is how I make my living, the Romance languages, and a great love of reading and automobiles. I seem to be not a bad driver.

>You have been accused of being “un-Australian.”

Ridiculous! I’ve been accused of having been influenced by writers whom I don’t even know. It would be perhaps accurate to talk only of a French influence: I love Flaubert and Proust. It’s curious, but I felt a closeness to Western culture while I was still in China. Here in Australia, on the other hand, I haven’t consciously learned anything, yet I’ve felt most keenly the fascination of Goethe and, more recently, Chekhov.

>Recently you’ve taken up visiting the more squalid areas of your city.

It’s hard to explain. Perhaps there’s more significance and interest to be found in a person’s suffering than in a tranquil life. Human nature reveals itself more fully—I think that’s it. There’s something enthralling about suffering. Right now I’m writing a novel, L’Academie. It’s narrated in the first person. It is the story of great internal suffering in a “messed up” world.

>What are your working methods?

In what I write? Mood plays the central role, while everything that comes from pure reason recedes into the background. The ideas of both my novels formed unexpectedly; born in a minute. Everything’s there already, all the main elements; I need only to write the novel itself, to do the hard technical work. The initial impetus is paramount. There are writers who look upon their work as trade: each day a certain number of pages must be written. But I believe in a kind of inner intuition, in writerly inspiration.

Self publishing is for people whose work isn't of sufficient quality to be picked up by a real publisher.
Third rate SF and awful "paranormal romance" shite.

>>18179182
But if you're rich wouldn't self publishing be better since it allows a greater level of control over your own work? an example is mark twain
>In 1884, though Mark Twain was already famous and signed to a traditional publishing deal, he’d grown weary of the whole hassle of working with the companies. So, he cut out the middleman, started his own imprint, and launched two highly successful books in the Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant and one of his more famous works in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

Also for walduns next books he's going traditionally published so he will soon be a real published author with a real book in your eyes

I was about to laugh at the idea of Waldun being picked up by a real publisher but then I remembered the dismal quality of modern literature in this country and I reluctantly conclude that it's not impossible.
