Snakes Reads A Terrible Book: Manhunt, by Gretchen Felker-Martin - An utter waste of everyone’s time inspired by the Tranny Sideshows thread and its new favorite author

[Least Concern]

(Side note: Does this fat fuck-up actually believe women would have to tattoo XX on themselves to tell who is and isn't a tranny? So goddamn stupid.)

I wonder if they're setting up a scene where one or both of the protags "pass" among the cissies after Sharpie-ing Xes to their foreheads or something.

Let's assume this is .223, it doesn't really matter; but that's a pretty standard round for a rifle. 36 grams each. 36gr x 1600 = 57600gr. That's about 127 pounds of ammunition. You ever tried to lift 127 pounds? Probably weighs more than most of you women.

Hmm, I did my own research while reading the post and got different numbers. This article says that one grain is one 7000th of a pound, and that standard 223 bullets are 55 grains. (55 x 1600) / 7000 is only 12.6 pounds. Granted I think that's only the bullet and not the whole round, but even at double the weight it still seems within what a healthy adult of either - uh, I mean any gender could carry.

Imagine caring about internet points, its like nigga what the fuck did you think was gonna happen?
sure there would be asskissers willing to ass kiss and give glowing reviews on your troon mein kempf manifesto, but NIGGA PLEASE, not everyones an asskisser and no one likes violence towards women.

Wouldn't a real writer try to write something better instead of whining about the reception?

not this particular author, he's still riding on his high horse propped up by handmaidens and troons.
literally kicked a bees nest with his 4edgeyu troon rape porn.

He wouldn't be a troon if he were capable of that.

Wow, what a "high-volume" review bombing. Those evil nasty TERFs are really coming in tens of.... tens.

Oh holy shit, I can't write, I guess it's time to chop off my cock, because this is the century of cockless idiots!

My point is sex scenes can add to the book without being gross. It takes real skill though. A lot of authors can't pull it off.

They can also, in the hands of a good author, be used to tell party of the story beyond merely "they fucking fuck now". A well written sex scene is like a well written fight scene, one that can transition (haha) the dynamic of the relationship between characters, or act as the inflection point for any number of story arcs.

LOL at this person admitting they probably wont read it but are giving it asspats anyway because "omg trans!!"

Or they can wreck a novel. You know, like Ayn Rand did with any boner-killing exposition she did in Atlas Shruggerred or whater.

 

[that can't be right]

> 1600 rounds. 1600 ROUNDS. Do we have any gun spergs that wanna freak out about how much this would WEIGH and how unlikely it is that a born woman would be able to haul this up a tree

Can't quote but:

Some manner of gun autist seems to have answered the question "How much does 1000 rounds of 223 weigh?" before.

This wholesaler says a box of 1000 rounds of this particular ammo (not 223) is 42 pounds. So 1600 would be 67 pounds. Still heavy to carry around

Here's some reviews from Goodreads. Overall, I'd say that review section is worth a read, there's some funny shit in there sprinkled in with all the girldick-gargling.

I'm sorry, MtFs are at the "bottom of the societal totem pole?" Maybe you could argue ladyboy hookers in third world countries are pretty low on there, but certainly not the AGP coomer strain of TIM you find in this country.

Absolutely brutal? Sure, but not in the way you mean it. Incredibly smart? Certainly not. And I too would love to see a mini-series, I'm sure Amazon or Netflix is already scooping up the streaming rights. I think Abigail Thorn, AKA PhilosophyTube, would be great as either Beth or Fran, and Elliot Page would make for an excellent Robbie. Who would you guys like to see?

And here's some of the more sane reviews. Love the name on the first one.

Well @teriyakiburns did specifiy good authors. I feel like you may be cheating a bit by using an author that's controversial at the best of times. But specific example aside, you're not wrong.

It's very easy to write bad sex. Just go to Archive of Our Own and read some of the fanfic there.

Damn these people should be speedrunners. Who told them to say these things so vastly many milliseconds apart?

The sheer ability of these faggots to be completely wrong at the speed of light. Or meth. Or whatever.

Just note the ability of reality to overcome these. . .I dunno what to call them.

OK, this evening Peaches is bored, so beware!

...I decided to rewrite the paragraph from the first chapter that was posted in the Tranny Sideshows thread.

Reminder that I don't write professionally and English is my third language, and yet in 10 minutes I was able to cobble together a version of these events that might pass for narration... somewhere:

Bless your heart Peaches. You’re throwing good after bad, though. Remember that famous quote from Gandhi or Buddha or some other loser, that says, “A pile of shit, no matter how expertly polished, will always remain a pile of shit.”

This is what I meant when I said it needed an editor! This is the sort of improvement over the first draft you'd expect to see after several rounds of back-and-forth with your editor, a whole lot of tears from the author, and maybe some booze (I don't drink but a lot of authors say it's the only way they get through editing, it really is that brutal).

It's far more readable now. There's more detail, removing the terf acrynom means that the book will stand up to the vagaries of time much better. Look at a show like Friends. I saw a tweet just two days listing allllllllll the things we took for granted in that show - like beepers - that the author had to explain to her zoomer kid. TERF may not age well. Female supremacist will.

God, you did such a good job here. The plot might still suck, but at least it's legible. I'd rate you semper fi but I am too tarded to know how to get money in the right format to give to Null.

Edit: I somehow missed that English is your third language. Holy shit. I feel like I didn't give you enough praise now. I read a lot of ya fiction on Kindle Unlimited, so indie publishers mostly. What you wrote, from a technical, this is the quality of the craft of writing standpoint - not the plot, which is what it is - is as good as most books I've read, better than quite a few.

You done polished that turd as best as it can be polished.

Thank you, I am very humbled. No need for any Semper Fis; I know how hard those are to acquire for those of us who are technically illiterate (or broke for that matter).

This was literally ten minutes of work on my part. No more. I don't write professionally, but I speak five languages (let's just say I'm a 2nd gen Slavic immigrant born in Scandinavia and leave it at that without too much PL) so I guess I know quite a lot about constructing sentences that work together in a number of ways? (Plus I have a friend who is an actual editor, and she's taught me some of the things to watch out for.)

Regarding that: don't they teach people the basics of creative writing anymore in high school? I used my skills acquired in 8th grade to produce this little rewrite. Some of the things we learned had to do with the use of acronyms in particular. Don't use them, basically. Even the extremely common ones that everyone knows (like the USA). If you want to refer to the USA's military, say "the military of the United States".

Grootchen Fapper-Martin uses the acronym TERF not only as a subject but as a possessor (TERFs'). All in one paragraph. It makes him look borderline illiterate, and I don't mean that in a hyperbolic way. His entire "novel" (if you want to call it that) reads like the assignment of a 6th grader told to write about their summer vacation.

"Dad and I went camping. Then we fished in the river. A fish swallowed the lure. We caught one fish, at least."

 

[Accept Only Substitutes]

I don't know about creative writing in high school, I was home schooled. I learned creative writing, one of the few things I did learn. I doubt it's taught anymore though. They like to cut non-essentials and that seems like one an administrator would consider non-essential, even though creativity and crafting fiction is a useful skill that can help with general problem solving.

But you can't standardize a test for art. So into the bin it goes. Sad, really.
