Ever want to do something so f*cked up and brilliant that your friends and family will wonder why they never called the FBI about you sooner?

It's imperative that you contact me at once.

I'm an aspiring author in search of the perfect writing partner. Someone with a terrifying command of words. A towering narrative voice. Someone who wants to write a bitter satirical masterpiece filled with ominous and comedic overtones. Are you as pissed off as I am at this world? Do you find the sick humor beneath it all? Do you have something worth saying?

I've written one novel, learned from the experience and am ready to brazenly rip through another. If one mind constructing an evil manifest of satire and wisdom can get the job done, why not have two? What better place to search than the cult?

A lot of writers in fantasy and science fiction do this, team up to write a novel. If you don't find anyone here, you could look at the Velvet.

It just seems weird to me for two people to write a novel. I don't know why. The two i've read, The Difference Engine and Good Omens, were both incredibly good. And it's nothing to me to see that two or more people have written a screenplay for a movie or lyrics to a song or pretty much anything. But writing a book just seems such a personal endeavour. It'd be like asking someone else to come in and help you take a shit.

im a lazy son of a bitch, with no motivation, but an ability to string words together nicely. seeking someone to light a fire under my ass and get me writing again, regularly, anyway. writing samples can be provided. resumes cannot. PM me.

If someone has to help me use the bathroom for me to have "truly lived" then I don't think I wanna truly live.

I have truly lived.

I would have preferred dignity.
