This book is called Twisted. It's about were-roller coasters. It's written horribly, very horribly. I just read a chapter of it, and it has 7 typos, illustrations that came from Deviantart (literally), no sense of setting or realistic dialogue, and characters that make the Twilight cast look likable and human. And this book has been published. And it got three 5-star reviews on Amazon, and one of them isn't an obvious joke (though it's obviously the author or a friend trying to goldplate a mudpie).
A 17-year-old girl has written a childish wet-dream fantasy into existence with nothing resembling an editor, and people have bought her book.
What I'm trying to say is this: nothing you write will be worse than this book (which was published, mind you), and you can follow your literary dreams (no matter how far from the mainstream) and still get people to buy your book.
Okay, the author has drawn concept art of the pregnancy and childbirth of roller coasters
There are tears coming from my eyes, and they are not of laughter.
I am going to have to live with the knowledge of this....abomination's existence for the rest of my life. It's going on the shelf of things that should not be, right next to moose loli and the game that shall not be named. And I'm going to have to keep that shelf on the wall of memories for the rest of my natural life.
No. This is not an ironic work. My Immortal, that is an ironic work. A work with a sense of awareness of what it is. This has no such sense. Nothing with such sense would ever create such a plethora of concept art, tons of it. That is the sign of true and earnest fervor, and that is frightening.
No link, Naney. It's...it's really not that good anyways.
About 90% of the stuff on the shelf of things that should not be are of pretty poor quality.
It just...really pisses me off that this got written and published. On Tumblr, you see so many people complaining about how they have a dozen and a half interesting plot bunnies but can't sit down to actually write any of them because the actual writing process is kind of a pain (and I'm implicit in that). And then you have people like this girl, and the guy who wrote Eragon, who write entire books and get them published while having cliched ideas and insufficient writing prowess to make any of them work despite their cliches.
It's...it's not fair, though I hate saying that because very little in life is supposed to be fair. And it speaks poorly of our generation (which I also hate saying). Most of the interesting ideas and skill are locked up in people who are too neurotic to actually write, while the uninspired and sanguine are the ones who are gifted with success in their endeavors. And I'm not sure if any of that made sense, but I'd like to stop talking about this
The bio on said breast-less roller-coaster lists her likes as 'anything that brings suffering' and her dislikes as 'anything not evil'.
I don't think you want her to be a representative of trans-genderism. (Not when we have our glorious moderator around to serve as a better one).
You are of course accepting the premise that I care about being fair to the writer.
:)
I just find it odd however, when humans are so varied, that characters that differ from the norm in published fanfiction are met with scorn as "Not being consistent"

Is that happy news or not?

Is it bad that the power outage totally fucked up my sense of time? Odds are my sleep isn't going to be quite right this morning >_<

Thought: If Obi-Wan Kenobi's intent in changing his name to Ben was to hide his true identity, why the hell did he keep the "Kenobi" part?

Were-rollercoaster-lady, there is literally no reason for you to have breasts or wear lingerie. You don't even have proper nipples, whyyyyyyyyyy.
Why are there even roller-coaster strippers? The main character doesn't even wear clothes,

YOU'RE NOT EVEN BEING CONSISTENT! YOU'RE UNDERMINING THE WORM-RIDDEN FOUNDATION THAT YOUR ENTIRE SLAPDASH UNIVERSE STANDS ON!
AAAAAAAAAAAH, WHY WAS THIS NEVER EDITED? WHY DID NO ONE TRY TO STOP YOU?

If you could understand that mindset at all.

My problem is that the book is not being consistent with other parts of the book, and no reason for this lack of consistency is given.

*tears wrapper off Immortality, greedily devours it* Makes sense. After all, if they were things that should be, people would put more effort into their quality.
Also, this post: ...made me smile. So your suffering was not entirely for nothing. ^_^
