"All these Lies are spurt"
Today on [info]b0st0n, Poet Laureate hopeful deleriumschild made an excited post about her first published book. When b0st0n members pointed out her bad spelling and the fact that she published the book herself, however, her squeeing quickly turned into tantrum-throwing. Then she deleted the post (rumor has it after someone commented saying she tried to get through the book but instead burned it, cut herself, and wrote a poem).

Lucky for us, [info]_b0st0n_snark is picking up the slack and filling us in here. There's even a screencap of the original post. Most of the wank is hidden now in collapsed threads, but you can see where people are getting lubed up.

Deleriumschild made a post in her own journal about it, too:

Dear B0st0n community,
thanks for proving my point
-Embarrassed you're from my town


If you're really brave, you can read excerpts from her book, aptly titled Delirium's Child. She's deleted the book and brought it back once, to get rid of a nasty review, so if it goes away it will probably come back. Here's an example of her, uh, writing:

I've been your friend since day one
I've stuck by your side no matter what
I like you because you're a lot of fun
I know sometimes you want to take the knife
Don't do it, because it's not worth your time


ETA: Don't miss her Craigslist ad and this chat log. They're full of wtf. There's also a little more info on the deleted post here.

English is not even my first language and I could write better than this.

I'm sad
and I'm lonely
Because my girlfriend won't blow me.
And her dad, he don't even know me
but he puts me down for my hair style,
The way I dance,
How I wear my sister's pants,
And never seem to smile.

:'(

I thought the idea behind the Wergle Flomp contest was just to submit your bad poetry to a vanity press, not to actually go through with publishing it.

Hey, this is late, but can you either remove the link to the chatlog or edit it so that her real name doesn't come straight up? Thanks.

Done. Sorry about that. I copied the link directly from the b0st0n_snark post and didn't notice that was on there.
