alexanderdeath25 said this and nhe is stupid because...
1. "Craped," which I imagine is a rape that is done by a superhero, aka "cape rape."
2. "i'm not gonna criticize it for you, instead i'll just list the good things about it:"
3. "lighten up with the swarmy bull"
4. "Why would I read your novel, random dude, when I've yet to read Ulysses?"
5. "I made a movie, so can I criticize your stupid thread now?"
6. "and by the way the word largeness statement was so eay to make no"
yeah
On forums that revolve around, and contain many people who wish to be, writers, it's considered good form to not post unless you actually have something to say.
iam a writer
iam a scientist.
i can tell
did that get published as is? i won't read a whole book if i can't even get past the first chapter.
Congrats for getting past the first sentence, you're obviesely a better man than I.
you really think it's that bad hey?
I do.
For the people that just craped on my last post
WE SALUTE YOU!
over educated. i think people think them selves better and ignore something simply because it does not folloow a set form. i do not writ like a child on aim or msn. i write like a real person. lets get some links to you guy's boring ass writing
i almost want to leave work early just so i can go home and find something i wrote.
Q. 1. Really? Are you 10?
Q. 2. How can you possibly be overeducated? In this country, higher learning typically stops at PhDs, which is what you have to have to do things like be a doctor. Are doctors overeducated? I sure as shit would want someone who could potentially kill me to be as educated as fucking possible.
2. a. Beings as we, as a society, also do not really recognize autodidacticism as a legitimate form of education, how can one really become OVEReducated? Over what? Over the norm of having 3-4 years of college? How do I know when it's too much education? When I'm $30,000 in student debt? When everything that comes out of my mouth has a footnote attached to it, in MLA format? Or is it just that you're insecure about your level of education/intelligence and feel the need to write books about drug abuse, put up avatars of you making out with a beer pitcher, and deride the need for proper spelling, in order to make you feel like your lack of education was some sort of anti-establishment FUCK THE MAN!! sort of lifestyle choice?
you bore me

is it not so easy to rag on some one eles and point out there mistakes when you got nothing really in you but an education and no talent

It's because she's smart, aint it? Fucking smarties, always boring us less educated people to tears...
ah, six...i love you, this made me laugh so hard
alexander...the reason people are giving you a hard time:
1. you come in here with a major attitude
2. nobody likes a newbie with an attitude
3. you tell us to buy your book
4. not ask, not "hey check it out" all humble and proud
5. the writing is pretty poor
6. if that's what you were going for, you succeeded
7. you are giving those of us that write a bad name
8. go out and come back in and try again, or it you really are ironman, then god bless you, i love you too, and i want a signed copy now because i will poop myself with laughter
peace,

i am educated by the way. but why is there only one form of education?
can i only be a writer if i get my ass in debt?
are doctors better people or smarter people then homless--fuck no. can doctors and homelss and middle class and sudents all be snobish bastards--yes--you all are so freaking PC hey? so university educated, programed so yes i do not like the establishment and i think drinking beer to forget is not too produtive but i would not be alone on this form for doing it--i thought it was a funny pic... so the kids writing on aim are stupid? whos teaching them? hey? the same system that give the nobel peace prize to a man in two wars?
yeah. look i am loving this guys. keep it coming
You know how you see a forum member for the first time and think their avatar is them?
Shall I make it clear? Okay. Okay, okay, here goes. Ready?
I fucked your mom.
I'm your father. That's right. I am your father. Listen to what I have to say: Your book sucks. I wish you were adopted. Your book isn't worth the diapers I was forced to buy to shut your mommy up. She sure loved wearing those diapers!
Fuck off.

I am educated and talented. One day I would like to be over educated and have lots of over educated friends. We could talk about interesting things and I would always know what they mean because they wouldn't talk like a spaz.
i thought we were not sposeta swear here.
it is fun getting you guys going. sorry i make writing seem so easy to you guys. you will get there some day. i was looking fo the one word to express this feeling in my soul.
just could not find it. you guys have touched me in a way only the king of pop should with you mainstream campy douglas coupland gen-x way of being annoying little pis ants.
by the way when you guys write you twilight rip offs in your parents basments listning to marlyn manson and sliting your wrist do you ever think that you suck, cause you do, a big hairy cock.

good job. if you think education makes you who you are
I think I'm going to start spray painting "DON'T BUY Unwanted Hopeless Romantic Morons IT IS A SHIT BOOK" all over New York, except that might actually make people interested. Because they'd assume someone, somewhere, read it.
samo
i actually think twilight was better than your book. i couldn't get past the first chapter there either but i didn't want to punch myself after i read it.
because that is bull.
Constructive.
i am educated by the way. but why is there only one form of education?
There isn't. There's academic education, religious education, home economic education. Can you bake a pie? I can. Can I write a script? No, but Cassun can. You could go to college in different countries. There are colleges that are devoted to nothing but inventing your own majors. The fields of study in this world are only limited by the breadth of our imaginations. Hell dude, you can get a major in "imagination" from NYU, no foolin'.
And how/when/where were you educated? What did you study? Was it English Lit?
can i only be a writer if i get my ass in debt?
Course not. In fact, I believe that's one of the things I half-assedly pointed out in a satirical fashion in my earlier post.
SATIRE: n. A literary technique of writing or art which principally ridicules its subject often as an intended means of provoking or preventing change.
are doctors better people or smarter people then homless--fuck no. can doctors and homelss and middle class and sudents all be snobish bastards--yes--you all are so freaking PC hey?
Doctors can point to credentials on the walls, moreso than the homeless, since the homeless by definition do not have walls.
Compare and contrast this with the fact that you told all of us that we weren't allowed to judge you because (you assumed) none of us had ever published books. You demanded tangible evidence of our success. Kinda like a diploma on a wall, hey?
And you must have never spent any time here if you consider us all PC, university-educated snobbish bastards. The only thing that generally holds us together is that we're all malcontents.
There is hope, but not for us.

no i do not spend time here. i am bored off my ass home for xmass in halifax nova scotia. i want to be back in montreal and do more readings and party. i really could care less. i would of rather poeple of been nice but he you all are malcontents then and i am just no hardcore enough... change the system form within does not jive with me.
none of you know me. none of you really have given my book a fucking chance.
we both, the site and i are making judgements with out real proof of anything. so it is just messing around
fuck off
how many homless people you give the time of day?
I know we've had our differences, but I have to admit, this post was impressive. Kudos, Six.

See it's posts like this that gain you nothing. From the typos, to the attempt at insults, to the lack of simple grammar. Why on earth would we want to read someone's book, when their posts look like this? Not to say that I'm perfect, but at least I try to correct my mistakes and post sentences that actually make sense.
no i do not spend time here.
Then why why why, and I mean this with utmost sincerity, did you so aggressively ask us to read your book? You said it yourself: you don't know us, you don't care about us, and you don't even like us. Why would you think we are prime candidates to enjoy your particular brand of world-view?
Imagine this is real life. Imagine this is a coffee shop that we all like to attend, or a place we all gather on Friday nights. We all know each other, some of us for years. We take turns speaking, as one does in polite conversation, we have in-jokes, we have context.
NOW imagine that you barge in off the street and try to beg for change. Of course we're going to be hostile towards you. Wouldn't you be, if the situation was reversed?
There is hope, but not for us.
so what you guys are trying to convince me to what|? give up cause i suck at wrting cause you read none of my book....
maybe i should just give up writing. thanks
I think it is being implied that you need to reconsider how you approach getting total strangers to read your stuff.
Kirk is right, but also you should work on reading comprehension.
no i do not spend time here.

How the fuck can you spell Krakauer but not "the" or "crappy"?
Fine. You wanted someone to read it, so I did. The first chapter. My professional (yes, professional) opinion is as follows:
After I wrote you that last email I went and drank on top of the Vs, then did some coke, then lost my bank card and went to the bank on Saturday all cracked out and demanded to get a new card so I could “get my fucking money out of the bank! I give you my fucking business don't I!? Well I want my fucking money that I earned. I could come in here with crack pipe fucking burns all over my face and I should still get my FUCKING money!!!!!”
Right off the bat, the first fucking line is too insanely long and convoluted. Whataclusterfuck.
As he flicks the channel between CNN and FOX news to watch the coverage on a dead pedophile that no one would have suspected ’til his death when someone read his diary and told the world.

a rage surging through me like fucking fire ripping through a rain forest. I went home and slept.
Dude. His rage is so intense that he goes home and sleeps? Hardcore.
He just bang kissed one of the brunette girls on the lips that looked so nice and plump. She did not push him away. She grabbed his jacket (Chuck’s) and pulled her self towards him thrusting out her pelvis.
1.What is a bang kiss?
2. I hate when people use a female character to serve this exact retarded purpose. She’s just a flat, “filler” character used to show how awesome/handsome/virile/mysterious a male character is. Not only does this girl just gowiththebangkissing flow, she also dry humps him with her crotch? Even the sluttiest girls I know wouldn’t let any of that shit fly with a stranger. Oh, and she was a high school girl??? Ok.
3. It’s “herself” not “her self.”
Randal's voice took on a bit of an awed sounding questioning tone, thingamajigger type of tone, you know?

You do this weird, non-contraction thing throughout the text. Is English your second language? Which, this is the one thing I’m not gonna’ criticize you for. If you’re ESL, that’s fine and understandable. If you’re not, the whole thing reads like you don’t know how to use contractions and it makes the dialogue AND narrative sound stiff. Also, “I love both of that stuff” – while “stuff” implies many things or objects, the word is actually a singular collective noun. So it would be “I love both of those things” or “I love all of that stuff.”

again where is your writing so i can pick it apart
the only people buying are the other assholes on that site and that's only so he'll buy their shitty book when it gets published. who runs that place anyway?
The thing is... I'm not saying you should stop writing. You could be the most horrible writer in the world and I'd never tell you that. Writing is therapeutic and amazing.
Just don't come into a forum where no one knows you and start swinging your dick around like you're an amazing author. ESPECIALLY don't call people out about not having finished books. The people who come here regularly are AMAZING and brilliant and I'm honored just to get to read their posts.

Also, and this is a sidebar, but: when did we get to this place where we can throw around "overeducated" and have it be an insult?
Q. 1. Really? Are you 10?
Q. 2. How can you possibly be overeducated? In this country, higher learning typically stops at PhDs, which is what you have to have to do things like be a doctor. Are doctors overeducated? I sure as shit would want someone who could potentially kill me to be as educated as fucking possible.
2. a. Beings as we, as a society, also do not really recognize autodidacticism as a legitimate form of education, how can one really become OVEReducated? Over what? Over the norm of having 3-4 years of college? How do I know when it's too much education? When I'm $30,000 in student debt? When everything that comes out of my mouth has a footnote attached to it, in MLA format? Or is it just that you're insecure about your level of education/intelligence and feel the need to write books about drug abuse, put up avatars of you making out with a beer pitcher, and deride the need for proper spelling, in order to make you feel like your lack of education was some sort of anti-establishment FUCK THE MAN!! sort of lifestyle choice?
There is hope, but not for us.
