Do You Support Local Authors?

[Anonymous No.19955119]

This is my latest haul of books written by guys from /lit/. Sucks that the only "of here" literature this place likes to shill is shit like Mike Ma who's a fucking Twitter user.

My reviews so far: Jigoku is good for what is is, which is edgy pokemon fanfic. It's enjoyable. Eggplant is a professional release in all but name but I've only just started it.

[Anonymous No.19955181]

Fuck Eggplant man. I used to think it was okay but nobody will answer my fucking questions.
I know the author lurks here. Just tell me what the fucking cuttlefish means

What

The premise of Jigoku is literally some schizo suiciding himself and waking up in Pokemon purgatory.

I did go to a locally owned bookstore some what recently and it had nothing besides neo liberal "political books" stuff like anti racist baby or how to be an anti racist and they did have local authors but i didnt care enough to give money them so i left.

So i guess in a way no i dont support local authors

I did. Didn't know he had a recent drop.The next three purchases are gonna be Unreal Anthology 2, Son of the Sun and Remembering the Dead, then.
Honestly Im just gonna start posting my collection of 4chan novels in hopes it gets people talking about any of them. I can't abide by the encroachment of twitter authors in this neighborhood.

What makes you say this? I've read Witz and Book of Numbers and would like to personally thank Mr. Cohen for writing Witz. It really helped me understand Jews and America's obssession with Jewishness.

is this eggplant man secretly trying to make a meme with his own book so more people post about it?

Ogden has forged his own path. There are three approaches to writing for /lit/
The Gardner approach: Ads and discord shills.
The Jason Bryan method: Play it nice and try to foster a community, i.e, a following.
The Nesmer Ogden theory: Just hand it out lmao

His method is more schizo posting and drunk posting about neo-liberal fascist impending on his civil rights. Dude's a trainwreck. There's a reason he only sees his daughter once a month. Not trying to bring the dude down but...

No. For real. I emailed him saying that I would buy a physical copy and recommend it in good faith if he simply explained the cuttlefish to me and he hasn't responded. This isn't reverse psychology or any of that shit.

FUCK. THIS. BOOK.

EXPLAIN THE CUTTLEFISH.

I also crowdfunded the publication of an anthology back in October. Next printing run will be October 2022

Why should he? I haven't read the book, so I don't know what you're referring to, but why should an author need to explain his book to you?

Because you don't just fucking introduce a cuttlefish. Feature the cuttlefish as a main plot point. And then never mention or explain it again.

But that's not a good enough reason. Mostly it's because if he doesn't I will slander his book into oblivion.

I think I read something of yours from another blog back in October.
