Can I sue a literary agency for mocking my work?

I submitted my novel (620 pages) written from the perspective of a carrier pigeon in World War 1 to a well-known literary agency and they accidentally copied me in to an email chain in which several of the emails mocked my work and also myself. This obviously hurts quite a lot but I'm wondering if I can sue them? I don't think they've noticed that I'm copied in yet and earlier today another email came through from the same chain.

620 pages and no it's in English. It is essentially a story written from a neutral perspective about both sides during the war. A young Hitler makes an appearance in Chapter 16 when the pigeon narrator fights for scraps of food with a small dog which turns out to be Adolf's pet dog Foxl.

There's a world of difference between quiet rejection and lambasting his work in a large publishing firm chain email. If they continue on from there to say all of his work is to be disregarded henceforth, grounds for defamation. It's not like there's some huge literary firm pathetically picking through /lit/ just to insult him, for example.

[Anonymous No.9867816]

>>9867808

Business people are humans too and judges will understand that. He probably has more grounds to accuse them of breaching copyright by leaking the emails that contain his work, even if it is just back to him.
Nobody is going to believe he's suing them out of anything but spite for them not publishing him anyway; they're not causing him any damages by this email.
Maybe in the US it'll work.

Settling is what damages your reputation among people that matter. Being "sued" only matters to brainlets who saw the headline in the news (if it makes news) for a single day, but brainlets are easily impressionable, as you show us, so it seems like a justified offense despite the fact that when it goes to trial it might as well be thrown in trash for the frivolous lawsuit that it is. But that part won't be a headline, don't worry.

The "Readers" removed the senior agent from the conversation and just chatted among themselves.

The reason why its shit and you got rejected is because pigeons aren't able to fucking think, have internal monologues or a stream of consciousness. You wrote 620 pages without realising the absurdity of the premise.

This is that 100 post anon again
Newfags, there is a poster who constantly creates really elaborate schemes to mess with people by getting them to feel sympathy for his character and then slowly dissolve into autism, it usually always begins with calling himself a genius (I've noticed this pattern) he used to joke about his 6 volume memoir or this time that he paid a publisher to publish his book and he scheduled a book signing at a barnes and noble where only his mom came and bought 3 copies of the book. He does this because he's admitted he has nothing else in life and gets some sort of pleasure out of it, anyway, he had me going for a little bit until I saw him descend into cunty autism but the nail in the coffin is this quote that he always uses when people ask to see his writing in these threads (because it's pretty good but it comes from an archived post from years ago back when warosu was up, someone else found that one out, he usually takes any written material from past critique threads but almost always this one):
>"Magnus realized, with a sort of laugh, that every joke he had recently heard had been told by himself, to himself, and at his own expense."

Another giveaway is that he uses the British spelling of words since he's british. He was the one who started the "Voice of YOUR generation" threads though. He hasn't posted at all since his goodbye thread back in April, everyone since then has just been imitators like in this thread, and they don't match to his genius.

Sadly no, I wish I knew he was though, all I really know for sure if that he was mostly likely a NEET and British. But anyway, I became obsessed with this guy a while back (during the Norwegian Cabin arc) and went through the archive trying to find all the threads and posts he had ever made. Honestly, I'm not really sure if he actually left for good, the whole Monastery bit could simply be just another Pessoan fracture of identity but I don't know he seemed quite sincere to me. There have been some good quality bait threads since he left though like this one: >>/lit/thread/S9454410 and also the one that was up today >>/lit/thread/S9872514#p9872520
These don't quite strike me as his style and while they're well crafted they seem more like people that were inspired by Memoir anon rather than original work of his own. Fun fact: he was also probably the one who started the trend of "genius posting" (pretending to be a literary genius to get (you)'s and he was also the one who posted these threads >>/lit/thread/S8759708 (I can tell because he reuses similar themes, one theme that he constantly returns to is virtual reality, if you recall the norwegian cabin guy's book he was writing was about virtual reality as well.) Anyway he goes by 100 post anon (due to his stated goal of trying to make the thread to get 100 posts) or also Memoir anon (since his most well known troll threads were the pizza memoir ones) or also Pessoa-chan since he's stated Pessoa as an influence. He's been around since at least 2013 and has been banned multiple times by the mods. Also if you didn't already know all of /lit/'s most famous copypastas were written by him like the Oxford graduate one, the will live a good life at your expense one, the name calling has no effect on the contemporary NEET one and so on.

Memoir anon scholar here, sorry but I don't have my compilation with me right now, I'm on the go but if you want to search yourself feel free once you start connecting the dots and noticing the similar references he makes and his writing style it becomes much easier... I also just got lucky sometimes trawling through the archive. In his earlier work he would often "come clean" after the thread had reached 100 posts and say he was just trolling but in his later period he didn't, though people would often spam that warning copypasta that you see above. He has some very underrated posts that didnt get the attention they deserved at the time, one of my favorites is where he basically outlines his entire philosophy, of how he wanted to write for the people who couldnt relate, who were far too sensitive and couldn't fit in to society, the people on the margins and who strived to transcend the simulacrum and inanity of modernity, those who were all alone yet had aspirations of genius... Though of course he says this in much more florid language and of course he's playing a character as he does in all of his posts, but I feel like in that post we truly get an insight into his actual motives for posting on this board year after year and getting banned over and over again and getting no recognition expect for an immense amount of (you)'s when he is clearly someone with great potential, I suspect that in real life just as in all of his heteronyms he was someone who has much too sensitive and observant for modern life, a flaneur and man of letters who would have fit in much better 100 years ago, which is probably one of the factors that led him to become suicidal and seek peace in a monastery. But of course it's impossible to discern exactly the real and the fake in his posts especially when Memoir anon is such a delightful satirist and character artist, and the way he would pitch perfectly mock many of the different personalities that you see on /lit/ and in the contemporary literature (specifically "alt-lit" scene.) But at the core of all his identities I find a real sincere heart and pain underneath, something quite tender that you can tell is based off of first-hand experience and exaggerations of real qualities that he had (the delusions of grandeur specifically, which was a common theme in all of his characters and helped establish that theme within the /lit/ collective consciousness, all similar characters that you see on here are in a way paying tribute to his ground-breaking work in this field, whether they know it or not), but through all his layers of artifice paradoxically there was a real core of authenticity, similar in a way to Breece Pancake who he posted a picture of in his goodbye thread, who was known for pretending to be poor when he actually wasn't, and in his short stories wrote heart-felt descriptions of rural life... This, and many other reasons is why I consider him to be the greatest writer this board has ever seen.

No just an autist (literal not meme), with too much time on my hands, I wish I was as talented as Pessoa-chan

[Anonymous No.9877101]

>>9877087
Pessoa-chan has a great ring to it. If Pessoa were alive today I guarantee he would be shitposting on /lit/ in his spare time. The guy wrote thousands of unironic horoscopes in his spare time when he was alive, so the autistic intensity is obviously evident.

>>9877101
Yeah, Pessoa's definitely someone who would have been a huge shitposter. Might be fun to compile a list of old authors and whether they would post here or not if they were alive today.
>>9877107
Nope, I'm American for one and like I said I'm just a rando autist who gets obsessed with internet people a lot and tries to find out everything about them. Out of all the "internet geniuses" I've come across however Pessoa-chan is probably top 5 most interesting imo. Maybe I should have said but of course a lot of what I've written is speculation, I've never spoken to this guy personally (he's replied to me in one of his bait threads before though), its extremely obvious that it's the same guy who's written all the copypastas and all the troll threads, I mean he's admitted it multiple times and not just in his goodbye post, also the consistency of writing style is very noticeable. I mean, he even reuses the exact same scenarios and lines over and over again like the virtual reality thing. Pessoa is a great comparison to make because this guy clearly had a pathological need to constantly create new identities and create bizarre scenarios and probably got addicted to the all the (you)'s and attention. He was also clearly a big literature fan too since he referenced obscure authors like Breece J'D Pancake, Edouard Leve, Michelstaedter, and others and he knew a lot about contemporary literature. In order to ever be sure about his motives he would have to come himself and tell them, but that's highly unlikely since the whole point of his corpus is that he's constantly playing a different character, its even likely that the Goodbye thread he posted is just another character of his, just in a meta-ironic way. Who knows. He could be laughing at us all right now, he could be dead, or he could actually be at the Buckfast Abbey like he claims to be if anyone is in England and wants to check lol.

the female orgasm doesn't exist. it's a myth invented by feminists in the 60's to spread cultural marxism.

think about it from an evolutionary point of view, it serves no purpose. it would be like putting and alarm on my trashcan that sounds when i deposit my loads of trash in there.

[Anonymous No.9877183]

The female orgasm does exist. It gives women a reason to let sweaty autistic monkeyboys to penetrate them dozens of time within the space of a few minutes. If it didn't exist women would just ask their spouse to cum in a glass and then lay upside down and pour that glass inside their gaping vagina in order to become pregnant.

Hmm now that I think about it was another poster who replied and said it was Buckfast, it wasnt in the OP at all. Also it looks Buckfast is a Benedectine monastery not a Trappist Monastery like he said he was going to in the OP. I'm like 90% sure he's from England because even though a lot of the characters he would play were American he would generally use British spelling however he would use "mommy" instead of "mummy" which does muddle things though this could be for comedic value. I'm not quite sure to be honest his humor struck me as quite British in nature, I would eat my shoe if he was American.

I googled and perhaps he's at the St Bernard on Leicester? We just have too many assumptions to really know if he's telling the truth. I just hope he's alright, and he didn't kill himself.

*St Bernard Abbey. If he did actually go to the monastery I'd bet 100 dollars that's the one he's at, its the only active Trappist Monastery in England proper, the other 2 are in Scotland and Wales.
