EBay/Writing Wank!!
First time poster, blah blah blah.

There's a guy, or there was a guy, trying to sell a manuscript on EBay. Here's the URL while it lasts: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=268&item=6929031456&rd=1%a0

and here's a nice discussion about it : Making Light

Warning: The author joined the discussion about half-way down and the blog-owner had to "disemvowel" him for his harsh comments. Lke ths. t mks t hrdr t rd, bt y cn gt sns f t.

My day is made.

I see. I don't follow sport, so maybe that's why I've not heard of this famous author

Am I the only one who sees the eBay guy's comments without vowels in the blog? Because it hurts my head so much.

The blog owner did that herself -- I guess he was getting a little obscene or threatening people (I can't read it either, but if you scroll down there are references to his batshit insane-ness), and at one point she says she has to go take care of something retroactively. He got really pissed and said she "scrmbld" his posts.

For serious--I so wish that was a power I had. But of course journal service comments aren't editable, because we all know the kind of wank that would cause if it were possible.

Y'all don't know this, but Cleo's actual comment was something nasty, except she edited it! Yes! She figured out how, and she's keeping it from us! Eval!! I'd show you the orgiinal comment email, but ... my evil twin sister deleted it! Yeah!

Considering that 99 % of super villains are addicted to launching out lines like "I'm Magneto, Master of Magnetism and the ultimate evil mutant!" that would be the ass-kick power to have.

Now all we need are Condi Rice and some professor at Rice University to cause a stink, and we'll have the Four Rice(wo)men of the Apocalypse.

Has anyone read the "Sample" of his work? I wouldn't pay a pubic hair for that. Hell, I wouldn't even wipe my ass with it.

No wonder he can't get it published without vanity/self publishing.

As someone on the blog pointed out, he might have a fighting chance if he could learn to 1) spell and 2) format manuscripts properly. Oh, and 3) not cuss random strangers out on the internet and then 4) call up his internet lawyer to sue them for... stuff.

Seriously. Plus? He needs a proofreader in the worst way. It's 'MAYBE' not 'mabe.' And 'THEIR'. T-H-E-I-R. And what is up with all the commas?

Sorry to be a grammar governor, but christ.

Even allowing for spelling errors, though, his writing style (which yes, I will judge from the sample provided by his blurb, thankyouverymuch) is horrible. My 16-year-old son's LJ is far more coherent (and interesting).

Oh, I totally agree. This stuff makes Anne Rice look like a literary master.

Almost.

Apart from the fact we have vowels in Welsh, I'd have to agree with you. No letter 'K', mind, but we do have vowels...

Heh, yeah, I know. It's just at first glance when you see all those words with no vowels it looks like Welsh.
