What is it about?

Why should anyone read it?

It's about an inept wizard with a drug problem, who is the son of the previous Archmage. He ends up stumbling onto a dark conspiracy, and his life gets thrown into chaos. It's primarily a lighthearted comedy, although there are elements of deeper emotional conflict.

>> No.15535586

This is not your typical fantasy book. How do you feel about drunken heists, accidental time travel, wild magical battles, and twisted humor? If you answered yes to any of those, you’ll love the hilarious tale of an inept wizard with a drug problem, his cynical apprentice who can’t catch a break, and the monumental quest they never saw coming! Who ever said a story can't be whimsical and a little fucked up at the same time?

Left with no career or prospects, the man known only as The Wizard is forced to devise a half-baked plan to steal a valuable artifact from the vault underneath the Circle of Mages. Lost in a labyrinth of tunnels, he stumbles upon a sinister conspiracy rooted in the heart of the kingdom. An evil cabal of sorcerers have been corrupting the land for centuries, hidden just below the capital. What he discovers is horrifying, even for a man of his dubious ethics.

Will he be able to stop the dark devices at work, or will he be swallowed by them along the way?

Wizardrous is an excellent choice for fantasy enthusiasts with a twisted sense of humor. It is packed to the page with madness, satire, and plenty of laughs! Even if you're not a big fan of fantasy, this book is great for anyone with a bit of a screwed up sense of humor.

CONTENT WARNING: Wizardrous is intended for mature audiences only. This book contains drugs, violence, heavy profanity, and moderate sexual content.

OK, but as a writer, can you give me advice? I am writing a book and I have a question:

at what point does using the word "nigger" become artistically unacceptable?
I just did a search for nigger in my 55,000 word novella and it returned 11,986 results.
Is this too much? I want to write realistically but does there come a point where it detracts from the artistry?
It's a modern day story dealing with many present-day social issues and my main character is what most would consider a "racist" and so he is very flippant with the word's use but I'm worried that publishers will not accept my novella or see its artistic merit because of this and instead condemn it for being insensitive or intentionally inflammatory. But how else am I supposed to write this sort of character?
How often should I use the word?

>Horrible customer service. I ordered one of their fried rices with substituted vegetables over the phone and they charged me $6 for the substitution; no one told me when I called that they would do this, and I've actually eaten there once before without them doing that, I had literally no warning until after my card was scanned. On top of that, they didn't even get the order right; I asked for it with no basil and they added basil anyway. I told them I wasn't paying $6 for some onions and bell peppers, and left the food there without signing the receipt; they charged my account anyway, which on top of being extremely unethical I'm pretty sure is also illegal. The guy actually called back after I left, trying to explain why they charged the extra, and when I told him I was going to dispute the charge with my bank he actually started yelling at me. The guy actually had the nerve to lie and say he refunded the money, which I just checked and he absolutely did not. Don't eat at this place if you like being treated with respect, the people running this place don't care about their customers at all.

I wrote Wizardrous with the original intent of it being an animated web series. It started as a bunch of random scenes I thought would be funny, all featuring the same set of characters. It took me about ten months to write, writing about three or four hours a day on average. My process is pretty disorganized, but most of the book started as stream of consciousness. I like to get a bit buzzed before I write, so I won't be too critical, and then I'll reread what I wrote the next morning. My work is definitely more influenced by the television I watch than the books I read (I know, I'm a simp). My main influences are Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Rick and Morty, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and a bit of Arthurian legend (I'm not gonna lie... mostly from the TV show Merlin).

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Wizardrous. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also the incorporation of the Arthurian legend, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from absurdist literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Wizardrous truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in the comedy of The Wizard's origin which itself is a cryptic reference to Ilf's Russian epic Twelve Chairs. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those black skinned simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as J. A. Hinsvark's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a Wizardrous tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

You're not a bad writer.
There seems to be a metagame to how fiction is written in contemporary times. You fit that metagame well. That is why you are wasting your time trying to sell your book on 4chan. Most of us are not writers; we're mostly /pol/ and reddit tourists and people generally new to the board. A few of us write and nurse ambitions of being published, and a few of us write simply because we like writing, and have no real interest in whether or not we can sell our stuff. We'd just as well give it away for free.
I'm not saying there's anything wrong in being an entrepreneurial writer, but this is not the place to be if you want encouragement or even just to sell your book.

You know what Jacob, read through your reddit posts and it just made me sad. Lay off the drugs, man. Stop endlessly spamming promotional shit. We get that you’re excited about your finished work, but you’re acting like a retard. Please spend less time online, just looking through the endless pages of reddit posts with only one upvote made me feel dead inside. Stop trying to get encouragement and validation from the internet and spend some time in the real world. Somebody here mentioned your grandma, read some decent books that an educated adult wouldn’t be embarrassed by and tell her about them. If you like writing, keep writing. It seems like you pick up interests and then abandon them when you don’t get positive feedback. If you really love writing, you have to be able to keep going when nobody cares. But please please please read some books, what you produced would be good if it was written by a 14 year old. You’re young, but not that young.
