The publisher I work for plans to roll out YA fic that "centers Minor Attracted Persons." That is all.

I'm 19 years old.

I am handsome, smart, athletic and virile.

I have a novel that is in it's final editing stage, and a creative writing professor at my college has read the first draft and thinks it's saleable.

I have a girlfriend who is confident, articulate, playful and spontaneous.

I have a small group of interesting friends from different social and academic backgrounds, and I also have many other acquaintances who see me as a reliable source of humour and good company.

Both my parents are alive and in good health.

I have no regrets.

I have already experienced three existential crises, the latter of which was described as having the depth and profundity of a man twice my age.

I am a passionate lover, a sharp thinker, and a trader of witty repartee.

I am not self-pitying, meek or needlessly humble.

I will live a good life at your expense.

You mean "japanese and chinese" "webnovel and light novel" written by western people, right?

>> No.19563110

What a coinkydink, my friends recently started a novelty press, doing small scale , high quality, books, on a 120 yo printer, hoping to focus on poetry and history. But their first customer is an insane lady who wrote an unpublishable YO style series that is apparently so bad that just the editing (correcting spelling etc) is taking double the time it should.

It's good money, but i literally just finished talking to my friend who's loosing all his previously considerable enthusiasm. lol

Off handedly mention that this might lead to the offices being burnt down and that perhaps it would be better for someone else to shoulder that risk?

And you don't feel any kind of moral obligation to oppose that, OP? Or at least extricate yourself from that workplace?

Why doesn't he just use kickstarter or something similar to draw a broader audience rather than taking money for unpublishable garbage?

so, pedophiles as protagonists? in a book aimed at young people? that sounds potentially very worrisome

It's going to be "Usagi Drop"-tier stories then I suppose.
Can't imagine other way to make it less awkward.
