I imagine there's probably many great pieces of writing including novels that have been written or are currently being written by people from this board and I think almost all of it will be left to collect dust. I don't think many of the writers on this board even try for publication for various reasons.

Oh yeah? Then who is that anon? Go on, show us your l33t detective sk1llz.
And by "charm", do you mean short sentence fragments, meandering viewpoints, typos, homonyms, overtelling rather than showing, inconsistent tense, cardboard-cutout characters that speak in cliches, philosophy out of nowhere, lots of commas, confusing plurals with possessives, and/or mixing singular and plural? Be as specific as you like.

[Anonymous No.21618436]

>>21618418
no, I don't mean any of those things.really it can't be described without destroying what it is that's the draw in these books, like Lynch said you're just going to make a big thing small that way.
read the first page of Jigoku and tell me there isn't charm there, more charm than an entire tryhard page out of Gothic Violence or similar dreck written by infiltrators with dollar signs in their eyes.
you can take whatever snooty tone you like, the fact of the matter is what's really important in a work of literature isn't how correct your grammar is. millions of books with perfect grammar and spelling are released yearly and the majority of them arent worth reading to the end of page one. this is irrefutable.

It reads a little awkward to me with the way the tense changes. 'He was sitting...he shuffles his card's but maybe that's just me. I'm not sure if that kind of thing is considered wrong or if it's just a stylistic choice or whatever. I see it sometimes and it's always weird to me

Here's a photo (at a different angle than any of your videos) of the living room where you shot your stupid videos.
But this house was sold on December 12th.
The addresses for your mom and dad have updated; they now live several miles away, in separate houses across the street from each other, in a nice-looking rural area.
But your address hasn't updated.
Are you homeless? Couch surfing? Institutionalized?
We'll find out eventually.
And tell your mom "happy birthday" from me.

I know plenty about /lit/, I just don't know your sales figures and suspect they can not really be known due to your methods. I am not mainstream, I worked my way up to a fairly well respected small national publisher through short stories in journals and starting with a regional publisher for my first two books. My last novel was absolutely better received, no competition there.

[Anonymous No.21620777]

>>21620737
When you plunge the meaty cock into your anus does it make your nose hairs tingle? Do you pray and plead that your publisher will inject into your tight red little asshole his HIV antibodies and hijack your immune system? Is that the 'ultimate rape fantasy' for pillow biters like you? Do you get down on your knees and suck the greenish black turds from your publisher's anus while he tells you how much of a slut you are? I bet the first time he made such grand promises that you'd be a real writer. You were young and naive and trusted him, but he abused that trust, didn't he James? He pushed your face deep into the unwashed pillow that smelled of old semen and told you to "take it like a good little unpublished slut." This happened twice with your so-called "regional publisher" and it was only after your asshole trailed to the ground like a pulpy worm that your pimp--sorry, publisher--decided to finally throw you a bone and commit to a limited release for your third and final book (there won't be a fourth as the next bout of pneumonia is sure to finish you off for good...)
