Just got paid for a very short story I wrote. What have you done with all your precious time? Twiddling your thumbs? Jacking off? Pretending to read on 4chan to impress anonymous people?
>>
You made this post to impress anonymous people
>>
>>25102528
How many hours did you put into writing that short story. This includes any time you spent thinking about the story, writing, editing, etc. What does your hourly pay come out to? Is it less than minimum wage?
>>
>>25102530
No, I did it to inspire fear. You people pretend to care about writing and reading, but don't put any effort into it.
>>
>>25102538
No. I wrote, developed, and edited it in less than 3 hours. Skill issue. You have to be born with it.
>>
If you had any balls, you’d share it.
>>
>>25102544
I think I'm too good for you, sorry. Doubt you even have $10 to spare to buy the magazine copy.
>>

Weird.

>>25102528
97% chance this is some gay ass questionable erotica for idiot wom*n
>>
>>25102559
Not wrong.
>>
>>25102547
Too good for you? You’re bragging about $200.
>>
>>25102565
You have $0 from writing. You are a pleb, bro.
>>
>>25102528
How did you convince them to buy your "very short" story instead of using AI to make one? I didn't think any publishers were buying stories any more.
>>
>>25102572
Because I'm that good.
>I didn't think any publishers were buying stories any more.
Do you live under a rock? Every magazine and publisher outwardly detests AI and has a statement on their website about how they will not accept any AI-generated text or even AI-edited text. Sorry that you're a retard.
>>
>>25102570
You’re right. I earn a living whereas you make pennies. Have fun with your $200, kek.
>>
>>25102562
>bragging about writing porn
It's over for you.
>>
>>25102528
So how's that novel coming along?

Nice work, OP. I've only been paid for being published once. It was a great feeling.
>>
>>25102528
That's a payment for being a fluffer on the set of Gay Faggots 12
>>
Been thinking of getting into doing web novels anyone have any experience getting paid doing that
>>
>>25102528
Do bless us with a sample of your other work, OP. (I know you can't post excerpts from this piece, because that would violate your publication agreement with the magazine in question.)
>>
>>25102806
My short story is online for free on the magazine's website but I won't link it. No one here has the intellectual powers to understand my prose.
>>
>>25102573
> how they will not accept any AI-generated text or even AI-edited text.
Every one of them including the editor is using AI text. It’s performative.
>>
>>25102891
Are you so lacking in confidence that you won’t show the people you came here to impress (let’s not pretend it’s anything else, you evidently know this place well enough to have frequented here yourself) your work? I get that you’re putting on this funny superior front or whatever, but I’m sure sharing with people here wouldn’t hurt. It’s beginning to look like you’re actually really insecure about your writing, I don’t even write so I’m sure it’s better than anything I could churn out.
Show us anon, I could use a good little short story
>>
>>25102945
I only came back here to post here because people said they'd squash my delusions of grandeur 10 years ago (when I was 18). I said I wanted to be a writer and everyone here shat on my manuscripts. Now I'm the one laughing.

>a bunch of words on an anime imageboard I read hurt my fee fees so much that I spent the next 10 years seething
>but now look at me! I wrote a paragraph and some magazine publication put it on their refrigerator, and they even gave me chump change for it, take that internet bullies!
This is how you sound, show us your work and maybe this time people will say nice things. Or even offer tips, the people on /lit/ aren’t all that scary even if they try to be.
>>
>>25102956
I'm published though. That's all that matters. 4chan does fuck all.
You get cancelled for being associated with 4chan on Bluesky, or even Twitter, now. No thanks.
>>
>>25102947
Imagine being this sensitive to something someone said ten years ago, kek.
>I'm the one laughing
Are you really? You still come off as someone living with delusions of grandeur. Apparently, you haven't learned anything.

I'm a published writer and was hand selected by a big name in the industry to be part of his special publications. Seethe more.
Also, this is just cringe:

None of that is traditionally published. It's basically pissing in the wind. There's no way you would post any of this shit without being one of these self-publishing plebs. I am much more of a writer than you will ever be.

My verbal IQ is way higher than yours and I max out every literacy test I take. Seethe more.

>>
>>25103057
Come off it faggot. More people know about all those listed than you little comic strip. It’s easy as fuck to get published these days. You really do have delusions of grandeur. And some of those listed have more wit in their writing than you’ll ever have, judging by the way you write here.

Absolute ESL cope. Topkek

You seem so mad that you typed "your" as "you". Stay mad, faggot. I don't even know why you'd use comic strip. I'm a short story writer with several highly paid stories in the market. And you're posting rambling nonsense on Substack and pretending like you're a writer.

A big name in... erotica? You admitted to writing pornography, let's not get ahead of ourselves. >>25102562

Wake me up when you get a book deal from posting a blog post about sucking off Ogden Nesmer or some shit.
>>
>>25103070
I thought you understood it was a joke. Sorry to see you have undiagnosed autism and cannot pick up on sarcasm. Nowhere pays for erotica except for small presses, and none of them pay for short stories, only novellas, which you'd know if you actually knew anyone worth knowing, or read at all.

I want to read your short story anon! :)

Yeah, I sure take your word for it.
>>
>>25103085
Why do you even come to 4chan if you are going to get confused by simple jokes or sarcasm? How do you know I am even who I say I am or do what I say I do? It's all anonymous people trying to troll or flame strangers, so what do you genuinely get out of these exchanges?
>>
>>25103074
>Begins to explain the details of the erotica literary market
So you admit that you've attempted to publish erotica?
>>
>>25103090
I have contacts who write erotica on the side while they mainly do horror. Do you also have friends or try to get to know people in the field of publishing?
>>
>>25103092
I wouldn't make friends with pornographers, sorry.
>Do you try to get to know people in the field of publishing?
Of course.
>>
>>25103098
Following some faggot on Twitter or talking to discord trannies who post in &amp doesn't count.
>>
>>25103101
I don't have either of those, kek.
>>
>>25103103
Can you even follow a conversation?
>>
>>25103106
Retard, I don't have Twitter or Discord. You're asking if I'm trying to get to know people in the field of publishing and I'm saying yes.
>>
>>25102528
you become this sassy when published, anons?.

You’re awfully rude aren’t you, friend? Do you hold some resentment towards /lit/ or something?
>>
>>25103139
You faggots on /lit/ think you're the shit,
But here's a pro tip from the tip of my tongue,
Coming from a published author who's hung,
You're a bunch of dilettantes who can't read,
There's no wisdom on the path you lead,
When you try to dispense some knowledge,
I can tell none of you faggots could pass college,
I smoke so much herb that I feel so high,
But when I hear you nigguhz joke, it makes me cry,
It's pitiable, despicable, straight miserable,
There's something in your genes, I think you got the 'tism though,
You faggots think it's an act, but you're not even a scene,
Shakespeare had more talent than you all in his spleen,
So sit down and listen to a real master of rap,
And, bitch, shut yo subvocalising trap!
