Is there anyone here who can compete with this literary genius from Reddit?

[Anonymous No.20461085]

>>20461062
>anyone here who can compete

well, lets see...

Glynn Stewart is the author of Starship’s Mage, a bestselling science fiction and fantasy series where faster-than-light travel is possible–but only because of magic. His other works include science fiction series Duchy of Terra, Castle Federation and Vigilante, as well as the urban fantasy series ONSET and Changeling Blood.

Writing managed to liberate Glynn from a bleak future as an accountant. With his personality and hope for a high-tech future intact, he lives in Southern Ontario with his partner, their cats, and an unstoppable writing habit.

No, I cannot compete with this at all, genuinely. I could react with malice or haughtiness but it would be a poor show of cope.
Nonetheless, congratulations to the plebbitor with a hairline like that, a neckbeard fashioned into something that looks like an actual beard, and an undeniable achievement in publishing writing. If he can gain both love and succes, perhaps there is hope.

Huh, I followed a similar path. Spent a lot of time on /b/ in 2008-2010 and occasionally other boards too (I watched Code Geass and Toradora with /a/ as their aired) and then I left until 2015 when I somehow stumbled back to /pol/.

Most of those are probably fake ratings he's made himself. F. Gardner did the same thing. It's best to check his Amazon page, because you need to have purchased the book to leave a review.

If you read the reviews on Goodreads where people actually write something, most of them are 3 or 2 star reviews. All of them complain about how there's no editing, lots of grammatical mistakes, half sentences, and the author has a bad habit of reexplaining things that were just explained in the previous chapter. Not to mention this dude tried to make himself more "legitimate" by saying his self-published books are published by his "self-owned" press which only publishes him. Yeah dude's a loser. But honestly we all knew that since he's writing Eragon in space or whatever gay cuck shit makes his asshole tingle.

[Anonymous No.20462787]

>>20462760
Either way isn’t he making enough money to live on? Unless he quit his accountant job to be supported by his gf/wife while he became a NEET that writes a bunch of shit books and loses even more money astroturfing about them. Even if it is that, that’s marginally better than writing nothing at all, maybe.

[Anonymous No.20462796]

F Gardner.

He’s literally some insane schizo flat earther from 4chan who keeps writing horror novels. I’ve only read “Call of the Crocodile” and “Call of the Arcade”. But based on those it’s the most insane book series I’ve ever encountered. Worth reading just to see how off the rails and nuts it is.

Just to give you and idea, the twists are the most baffling I’ve ever seen in any books. Stephen King and JK Rowling are both characters in Call of the Crocodile. It’s beyond lunacy. Overall, Call of the Arcade was much better than Call of the Crocodile. But I’m aware Croc is more memed here than Arcade.

This. F Gardner even made himself a character in his books where he’s viewed as a famous writer everybody loves. And one of his books is a Pokémon ripoff that’s edgelord as fuck. He’s the 4chan version of Chrischan except way more fascinating when you realize he genuinely thinks things like the earth is flat and that he can somehow write all these books and think’s he’s the next Shakespeare.
I’ve become an ironic Gardnerchad ever since falling down the rabbit hole that is F Gardner. His books really are something you need to experience to know what I’m talking about. Otherwise it doesn’t make much sense and seems like a meme. Which I guess it certainly is. But the meme status of Call of the Crocodile and everything just kind of makes it that much more fascinating when you realize you’re actually reading the works of a genuine schizophrenic who can somehow write cool horror stories.

Joe Rogan would flip his shit if he ever discovered F Gardner. Every single one of his books is like

>Dude, Biblically accurate angels!

Gardner even has the fucking Backrooms as the plot of one of his books. I couldn’t even make up a more batshit insane idea for a series. It’s like someone condensed the entirety of /x/ creepypastas and turned it into an entire book series.
