months ago there was this thread about an author who was so obsessed with getting his descriptions conveyed perfectly, he would include little drawings mid-text basically saying "and it looked like this". Along with paragraphs over little details. There was more than one instance of him doing this and I think his books were sci-fi, and if I'm not mistaken he's not long dead or from a much older generation.anyways I come on here very rarely and I forgot his name, but out of nowhere I remembered how hard I was laughing at the pages of his stuff people were posting, and now I hope you guys know who I'm talking about, so I can actually try reading one of his books
a little more descriptive...please???

Bumping because I am also curious.
I know what you're talking about but I don't remember the author's name. Am I on the autism closed loop internet?
Was is Vonnegut?
>>25517193>>25517224I dont think so, I hope this assumption doesn't throw anyone off if they're also searching, but I think he was younger and had his stuff published within the last 20 years. I could be wrong
>>25517210You are already on /lit/ so i'd say, yes that's likely
Mervyn Peake maybe?
>>25517189I actually empathize with the impulse. Constantly I am bewildered by the stupidity of people who are unable to grasp even the most simple of imagery when described/written, then they turn around and act like it's somehow your fault that they can't comprehend relatively simple sentences and clear cut visuals. It's SOOOOOO much worse when writing speculative fiction and you are trying to describe something the nitwit hasn't seen before, and for the love of dog don't you dare use figurative language around such nincompoops or they will screech in confusion and demand you simplify the prose to 3rd grade reading level or below.
>>25517595lmaoooo yes this was it!thank you

>>25517595Damn he really put hex codes of the colours he was narrating. This is genuinely scary...
>>25517595>UlillilliaIsn't he the guy who was making his own videogame and eats nothing but a certain brand of pizza that he always blots with napkins (to catch grease)? I think I saw a documentary about the guy on YouTube like a decade or so ago.
