Even in what should be his apology video he says shit like "i'm a perfectionist". Really Waldun? Was l'academie finished to perfection? He blames the editors, that the book was rushed and that he isn't good at fiction, that he's "afraid to open up", in what should be his most humble video. Yet he seems incapable of coming to terms with the fact that he's just a shit writer, something that seems completely inane to him. God he's so delusional bros. I don't think he's ever going to be able to write something of worth if he keeps on having a million excuses every time he gets exposed as just being a bad writer.

Honestly, the few days before the release of L'Academie were so entertaining. Watching some stuck up mega pseud get destroyed was so satisfying. It just kept giving. From the previews, KD critique video, to the backstabbing of micro penis Clark Elieson. It was fun. But it's kind of getting played out now. It's like eating cake every single day. Eventually you just get sick of it. It makes me think of why I'm giving so much of my time to this talentless pseud. It's fun seeing how worthless and delusional he is, but he's just not worth my time anymore. I don't regret the time I spent on mocking him, but I do acknowledge that it was time wasted.

Yeah, these threads are a shell of their former self, unfortunately. A shame, because there seems to be so much more content to mine for cringe (especially his new co-authored book).

He can't be a shit writer. His entire identity is tied up in being some great aficionado of literature. To accept he cannot write is to accept that he is a fraud, and his ego will never allow that.

No author ever became considered “good” by trying to appease mass opinion of what is “good” ... opinion like yours, that his work is bad, is only overcome by continuing to be “bad” and plunging into the depths of badness.
>Sir, these words do not flow.
>And there is the answer to the problem.
While a social media popularity grift is an inherently feminine thing (if he just wanted youtube popularity, he’d crossdress and play videogames, and show a little thigh) there is a bit of masculinity in asserting oneself through one’s work.
There is arguably even more masculinity in continuing to create and assert oneself creatively against popular protest.
In all this, I hate waldun and find his face punchable, but look at Rebecca Black
When she was a child she dreamt of becoming a pop artist, and worked with a producer to create “Friday”
https://youtu.be/kfVsfOSbJY0
It was correctly ridiculed
She responded by doing a masculine thing
She stuck to her creative will and fashioned herself into a selfmade pop artist
She recently put out a remix of “Friday” that plays into criticism that was leveled at her in the new lyrics and in making the auto-tune even more distractingly harsh. She made light of her past misstep
https://youtu.be/iCFOcqsnc9Y
This video is awful, but self aware and funny. The spirit of the thing is good, and I respect her for continuing to create
This is the pattern he should follow.

Anons, there are two things you can't be if you want to be a good writer. You can't be stupid and you can't be delusional. It takes many quantum leaps to go from shitty, to a big fish in a small pond, to actually unironically brilliant. Just try to get a little better with every project or poem you work on. If you know you're not stupid, and you can keep yourself from falling into delusions of grandeur, you can make it. Just keep trying and don't give up. As cringe as he is if Waldun sees this or someone passes this on to him, I hope he can feel peace with that simple truth, don't be stupid and don't be delusional.

His joke was so thoughtfully crafted and took him a total of like 3 minutes, you SHOULD be laughing. What's that? His joke is bad? I think that's just because you failed. He outsmarted you, nitwit.

In conclusion, I am posting this to the community known as "R/Wooooosh" to claim my internet points in your embarrassment . Imbecile.

True. I also found it odd that he accused Waldun of being a cynical grifter that intentionally shilled a book he knew was shit to his impressionable young audience. Whereas in reality he's just an overconfident, over-eager kid who thinks he has to publish everything he writes and has no idea about what really goes into writing a publishable work. Plus I watched some of his other videos on books I happen to have read and he consistently misstates plot points and shallow interpretations. In short, he's a fat pseud.

the new book is just rambling flash fiction about homeless people or something. part of the fun with l'académie was that is presented as this super serious epic dystopia two heckin years in the making (of course, numerous timeless classics have been written in a far shorter timespan). the notebooks, the drafts, the editors. looking back at the release video, waldun probably thought that netflix, hulu and amazon were going to have a deathmatch over the series rights, and instead it exposed him as a total fraud

no. I have nothing against self pub in general and there have plenty of good ones (whitman, proust, joyce to an extent). I just really fucking hate this card faggot because of his incessant shilling on this board combined with his genuine lack of talent, evidenced by his plagiarism in tandem with the fact that anything he has actually written originally reads like sandpaper. he clearly seems to be in the same vein as waldun, which is to say, a deluded narcissist way too big for his boots, jumping the gun and trying to garner attention of which he is not deserving, and which will ultimately serve to detriment him.

Waldun is cringe but F Gardner is more so the CWC of this board. One of his books Jigoku is a Pokémon self insert.
