I, for one, congratulate all the authors on their achievements and admire their dedication.
But who has achieved the most?

Reminder that that jeet was retarded enough to change the cover of his other book with this.
>>

original cover was better

Better than Bore's boring covers

Has anyone bought one of these books?

>this bucket of dry shit is better than that other bucket of wet shit
No shit.
>>
>>25640072
Literally everybody with eyes agrees on that. But the jeet is probably trying to bang the (retarded) artist, so he insists the new one is better.
Jeets. Not even once.

The only one with any amount of artistry is Dodo. A bit /pol/ at times, but surprisingly good nonetheless.
>>
>>25640302
No, you jeets can't think without your libido. (That's how it's spelled, street shitter.)

Is she white? Be honest, you dalit. We might show you leniency.

>hip, sharply dressed industry types are mingling, dancing and drinking
Hahaha this poor faggot really desperately wants to be one of them, he craves success (the shallow, shiny version of success his childish brain can understand), but his utter lack of talent will forever keep him from achieving it. He'll always be a poor, cringe nobody. Sad. Many such cases.

>no u
>minor spelling error
With an imagination like this it's no wonder you write what you write
>>
>>25640502
No imagination necessary to picture a retarded jeet riddled with inferiority complexes and simping for a white bitch in the vain hope of getting a crumb of premium grade AAA+ (aka white) pussy.

And what do you mean "what you write"? I never posted anything in these threads. You need to be retarded to do so.
>>
>>25638739
Jesus Christ.

>>25640510
No imagination indeed. I can imagine what you write.

My own book. It's currently at 90k words and it's already the greatest read of all time.

is that the same mack of daddy mack fame?

Same guy who wrote Corndog Zen. I looked the new book up on Goodreads and it looks like it has decent reviews.

That Dodo book seems interesting.

Im from /tv/ mostly but I get some threads that I can understand. Sometimes Its books that are so esoteric that I cant even decipher the main theme.

Agreed. Liking what im reading. Im barely hearing about it.

New author, sci-fi plot about Superintelligence going rogue but it's not a techno-thriller, it's introspective, rant-prone, about pretty much everything from love to philosophy to the way technology changes humans, to dealing with unfixable trauma.
Difficult to label but the prose is very good, it reads easily and pretty much every page has some interesting reflection or something funny going on. Every once in a while I open it at a random spot and read a few pages.
>>
>>25640952
>great american novel
The author is a spaghetti so no lol.
>>
>>25640969
Im liking it if it is a little melancholy.
>>25640971
Wasn't there a great author that had english as his second or third language?

Nabokov? Fewer hot little nymphets here unfortunately.

manuscript finalized. audiobook recorded. my epic revenge western horror/thriller.
release date Dec 1 - make sure and read The Dark Triad and King of L.A. to prepare yourself for the spectacular trilogy conclusion ;)

>>25641030
Dude, stop trying. It's over. Nobody cares. Posting your stuff here was a mistake, now everybody knows for a fact you're garbage and they don't need to bother with you. I mean, Christ, your shit is comically bad. It's even difficult making fun of it because the reality is more ridiculous than the mockery.

>>25640570
You can't imagine much. Or write much. Or do much of anything, really. Your level is perfectly clear.
>>
>>25638739
None of them has achieved anything desu

>>25640947
The Chemical Divorce is also free on RR if anyone on /lit/ wants to check it out:

https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/176028/the-chemical-divorce

Anyone in a magical order or mystery school should really appreciate it.

>>25640998
Conrad.
Interestingly, I recall an ESL on this board complaining about him because he found him more difficult to read than English authors of the same period.
>>
>>25641511
The sentence structure is difficult in another language. Im trying out Korean and japanese and everything is close to backwards. It doesnt flow naturally to my english thought process.
>>
>>25641030
Good luck! Ill give it a try. I like Elmore Leonard since it was the 2nd author I tried reading after stephen king.

It released just about two years ago. The best-of was a one-and-done, so that's it. There's the print copy pictured, and the PDF of it is free along with all the pieces up individually on the website:

oh i'm a huge fan. is it basically corndog zen 2?

>>25638739
how much do these cost?
>>
>>25642650
The Chemical Divorce by Frank Zeist is free on Royal Road with ads or $.99 on Kindle
>>
>>25642650
Most were posted on /lit/ for free in one thread or another.
>>
>>25641878
Enjoy them anon.
I've been reading Elmore lately too. Ryan's Rules and Mr. Paradise were solid fun little crime stories, but the characters weren't that memorable, just the clean paired down smart crime stuff he's great at. Forty Lashes Less One was awesome and is probably my favorite thing I've ever read from him, and I'm in the middle of Freaky Deaky which a little weird but entertaining through a few chapters, you could tell he expected every book in this part of his career to be adapted into a movie.
>>
>>25642748
>Elmore
My problem with this faggot is that he explicitly wrote novels to be adapted to movies, so he removed all the "dead weight" which is actually what makes a novel worth reading.
>>
>>25642880
>explicitly wrote novels to be adapted to movies

So he was smart?
>>
>>25638739
Alright I'll start one
Either SF or contemporary military.
Where should I post it?
>>
>>25641057
What a sad little poster
>>
>>25643532
Sacrificing a good novel for a good screenplay isn't necessarily smart. It's a choice.
>>
>>25643692
You just can't help yourself, you have to reply to every criticism, it's stronger than you. Posting your shit here really wasn't a good choice, you just exposed yourself as an effeminate narcissist, not just a shit writer.

here

>>25645930
I meant what site, RR, AO3, SB?
I'll definitely post the link here
>>
>>25647012
NTA but
>RR
Only really good for super restrictive types of genre fiction. Contemporary fiction need not apply. SF you might be able to get away with but only if you make it like every other successful webnovel out there.
>AO3
Mostly only for fanfic.
>SB
Space Battles? Never even heard of it.

Alternatively, self-publish for free on one of the many platforms like Amazon KDP, B&N Press, Kobo Writing Life...

But you haven't even written your work yet so you're far from having to worry about any of this
