Help a writer out.

Piscivore · 4th August 2005, 05:16 PM

I require the assistance of someone who:

1) Has read a substantial portion of Iacchus' online manifesto,
2) Has a taste for fiction and a critical eye, and can tell good writing from bad,
3) Is not put off by profanity, vulgarity, or robot prostitutes.
4) Is willing to give me a half hour or so of your attention. Depending on your reading speed, I guess.

PM me if you can help. Thank you for your time.

On a related matter, I require the assistance of someone who is profane, vulgar, or a robot prostitute, and is willing to give me a half hour or so of their attention, depending on their speed.

I have two out of three covered, but I need a lot longer than that.

I've been working on this one for eight months...

I require the speedy assistance of a profound, vain Bulgarian robot prostitute who can give me half of their attention for an hour. And must have a taste for eyes and critical fiction. Thank you.

And I require a robot Iacchus prostitute who... Wait... No, I don't...

A whole book with chapters and verses.

That's Iacchus with a capital "I" by the way.

Thus far, people have shown little interest. What is there to fear about that? Aren't you more afraid of what might happen by getting the word out? In fact that's all it takes is a little sensationalism, correct?

Hah!

No.

Hee hee hee.

I've told lots of people about you. My young, pretty associate thinks you're creepy as hell.

Heh

Just wait...

Oh, I see that you've been lurking. So, you're no more the sensationalist "creep" that you claim me to be, correct?

Sorry, the font makes it difficult to distinguish uppercase "I" from lowercase "L."

True, if understated.

Nothing at all. What is to fear is the amount of precious time C4ts might never be able to get back, trying to wade through your numerology and dreams.

Um...no.

Is that what you think you are doing here? As I said on another thread, if your writing here is intended as an advertisement for your writing there, you are doing an extraordinarily poor job of it.

c4ts · 7th August 2005, 04:11 PM

Given the amount I spend on these forums, I don't see my time as very precious after all. But I would prefer to read other things. I think I'll get started on The Metamorphosis now that I've been reminded.

Yep. In fact I've done very little to promote it here.

At this level, a metaphor involving rubber and glue would seem appropriate here.

Well, by all means dress it up, and at least make it look you're educated!
