Who Wants to Impress Drunks & Stoners!

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

CRUELLA let the cat outta the bag. LIT is a club fulla drunks, whack jobs, and stoners scoring stories and making comments. Kiss my ass. I stopped in the middle of my Halloween story, and thought: fuck that. The enchantment is gone. It definitely explains all the bull shit in this place.

What's your point?

James, haven't you been telling us that some 90 percent of humanity is insane? So why is this a revelation to you?

 

[lovecraft68]

You left out perverts James, don't forget the perverts.

Just JBJ's fancy ass way of telling us that he's quitting another contest.

Naaah, Halloween is down my alley. My story involves one of the new AI-computer medical diagnostic/treatment systems that handle medical emergencies, and goes on a killing spree. Arthur Clarke had the same basic idea with HAL back in the 60s with 2001 A SPACE ODYSSEY.

Another story involves an android with powerful vaginal muscles that crush her lovers during coitus.

But why throw this stuff in our Bowery?

I'm not so convinced a significant portion of people read or write under the influence. Of course, even if they do, I'll be damned if I'd give them the power to stop me from doing what I want to do.

You are destined for eventual failure if you do not respect your audience.

Learn from the masters of modern day storytelling: Pixar. They write movies with advanced adult concepts despite that they are targeted at children.

I swear if I could be only half as good as the team of writers at Pixar I would be very successful indeed.

You get dissapointments when you expect something in return and don't get it. I never expect anything in return of the reviews, edits or the tad things that I put up here. A single word of thanks does it for me.

Who wants to impress drunks and stoners?


I believe the answer to that question is self evident. My list includes, but is not limited to,

1.Marketing companies
2. Politicians
3. Religions
4. Banks
5. Military Recruiters
6. Terrorist Organizations
7. Con artists
8. ... and ..... authors.

I hope it wasn't a rhetorical question.

I've prevailed in almost every endeavor I've attempted. But dealing with drunks and pill poppers is always doomed from the start. I wonder why I forgot THAT fact of life.

Is it even possible to impress drunk and stoners? If we are being honest, I suspect not.

One author in particular here could learn from this advice.

Of course James rant is based on one thread where maybe a handful of people admit to toking up or drinking here and there.

Somehow that translates into the hundreds of thousands of people who read here are all drunks and stoners.

I didn't think they sold brushes that broad.

You let me down with this one JB, you sound like Pilot, blaming the readership for failed stories.

Take a statistics course, Sparky.

Gee, with all the literary greats being drunks and stoners in their day, I figure they were on to something by re-arranging some brain cells around every day.

If they were stoned and drunk and their work is admired by all the 'straight' people, does that mean all that straight writers are read by drunks and stoners that admire them?

I wrote everything of mine while puffing long and hard on a bong and it's doing okay, so there might be something to it. Not to mention, drunks and stoners are usually more sedentary in their lives, so they have more time to read, LOL.

Join Wounded Writing Wankers, and for just $19 a month we'll send you a bong or stein with your monogram on it.

I hope it's a Roor bong, they're top of the line. Seeing as they're a few hundred bucks to buy, I'm so in at $19 a month. Now I don't have to worry about cleaning it out and just toss it out and fire up a new one every month. Where do I send the check?

Did Hemingway and Thompson belong to that group too?

Trying to make every thread about me pretty much speaks to the depth of your obsession with me, doesn't it?

P.S. You, of course, are full of crap in posting that I don't respect my readers. I don't respect you, certainly, but you're not one of my readers. Doesn't stop you from slamming my writing on this forum, though, in true sick asshole form.

As far as the OP, whether or not readers are drunk or stoned doesn't have any bearing that I know of on whether they'd like my stories. I'll leave that up to them. And it doesn't bother me, either, if JBJ thinks everyone here is either drunk or stoned and not worthy of reading his stories. Like most of his other threads, this is just one trying to get attention.

They were pickled pretty much all the time. Chandler too, especially after his wife's death.

Feel free to post RATED 5 BY 4 OUTTA 5 DRUNKS AT LIT on your account.

Hope they liked their monogrammed steins and glasses. I bet the WWW gave them the booze and drugs too as consolation gifts. Can only hope they're into growing the good high grade herb.

Thanks, James. I've been looking for a good sig line.

I suspect the humanoid shitpile who 1-bombs all my stories of being sober.

Oh. I feel rather naive. I didn't know the thread was a flame thread. I regret having added to the madness, however unintentionally.
