Patrick Sean Tomlinson / @stealthygeek / "Torque Wheeler" / @RealAutomanic / Kempesh / Padawan v2.5 - "Conservative" sci-fi author with TDS, armed "drunk with anger management issues" and terminated parental rights, actual tough guy, obese, paid Quasi, paid thousands to be repeatedly unbanned from Twitter

Thanks. I'm still cutting back on capping his twitter. I'm only capturing things that add to Pat lore or that are really funny. Speaking of which, he tweeted this about an hour ago. Not sure if this rate of rejection is industry standard. Any writers want to comment?

He's almost certainly just making up a wild number to have the highest number in the thread. But him not realizing that padding your rejection number doesn't make the quality of your writing look good is some prime Tomlinson

It's not unheard of for a writer to have several rejections before finally getting published, a lot of that has to do more with writers being rejected for not being very good. 120 though? He pulled that number out of his ass, even a writer as bad as Patrick doesn't get rejected 120 times unless he's doing it on purpose.

What they’re not saying is that book deals are much, much easier to get over the past decade than they were previously. There’s no prestige anymore, unless you get a six-book deal with a seven-figure advance from a major publisher.

So Pat got 150+ rejections and his friends got a similar amount, for an easily attainable goal. How embarrassing.

 

[AnOminous]

Considering how many children have been lost to vehicular accidents over the years, by Pat’s logic he must just shrug and smile at the idea of kids dying in car accidents.

He gleefully runs over children at every opportunity just for the sadistic glee of hearing their bones crunch under his ostentatious muscle car's wheels.

 

[get-tar manajerk]

Spoiler: sorry

Sorry I don't really have much to add except that I think Pat may be at risk of stroke and heart disease. Due to his weight.

 

[John Andrews Stan]

I’d pay to read his 120+ query letters that led to 120+ rejections. I’m sure they’re full of the most delusional bullshit ever.

Also, you’re always supposed to tell the prospective agent or editor which existing books your book is similar to, for market positioning reasons. Only the biggest losers claim that “Nothing like my book has ever been written.” I guarantee Pat was one of them.

My books have no equal, child.

The pests will probably dig up all 150 pokemon rejection letters soon enough.

"Nothing like my book has ever been written" either indicates that you, like Pat, are a narcissist who doesn't like to read, and thus are as unfit to be an author as a man deaf since birth is to compose music, or you are a lunatic sending your crazy person's manifesto. Neither one is saleable.

Or they were all like "it's like A Christmas Carol but in SPAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!" "It's like NCIS but in SPAAAAAAAAAACE!" "It's like Gayniggers From Outer Space but in SPAAAAAAAAAAACE!" Not the last though that would actually be a good idea.

Gotta reject 'em all!

No, child, my cat's name is not Mewtwo. And no, little one, I do not look like Snorlax.

100+ rejection letters, turned into book format, would be kinda interesting to read. Sadly for Pat, this is a famous author concept and not a KF famous one. Imagine reading the rejection letters of JK Rowling, George R. R. Martin on how their book sucks, then it turns into a billion dollar enterprise.

It's a fun idea because the reader already knows the conclusion of the "story," but gets to laugh at the people's lack of foresight.

For the same reason, it would be hilarious to read Pat’s acceptance letter from his agent. “I am confident that this book will sell to a major publisher for a respectable sum of money, and go on to top the bestseller list. Your career will go from strength to strength as you produce high-quality writing for years to come.”

PS Pay Quasi.

It it was related to people calling Nice Podcast Stupid, its host and guests gay, it could have been up to 80% of the Lit Crit regulars. Gotta say I didn't expect them to turn on the apple of their collective eye quite so quickly, but the criticisms re: expanding length of the show are fair

Yeah, I saw the repost and I agree with most of what he said. Sadly the O&A board is so full of faggotry I guess I'm done lurking there. Have seen posters literally saying stuff like "I like anything that offends regular posters" as if that doesn't automatically make you a fucking loser. "OMG people complain when the same five faggots spam the same contrarian shit ad nauseam!!! So lame!!" Just stop going there then, you fucking cunt.

Buncha fat fedora wearing, neckbeard having edgelord faggots over there.

Dear Pat,

Your manuscript doesn’t meet our standards. It was covered in grease stains and you misspelled “good” three different ways.

However, your homemade pepperoni was delicious. We, here at Special Ed Publishing, think you have a bright future as an amateur pizza chef and should focus on that instead.

Best regards,
Special Ed Publishing

Most agents/managers won't talk to you if you don't have an MFA, so ol' 1.7 would normally have no chance. He only got an agent because of his disingenuous abortion tweet that got him 80k followers or whatever, which may be the most infuriating part of all of this. He was handed exactly what he wanted, based on a fluke and the perception of Twitter having more social importance than it really does, then failed so spectacularly just by being an awful person that Tor said, "you know, don't bother with that third book, we're good here."

Think how disappointed they were. "This guy's a white man, sure, but he's got 80k Twitter followers where he says all the good boy things, that's got to mean at least 8k in sales, give him a shot."

 

[REGENDarySumanai]

Dear Pat,
Your manuscript does not interest us at the moment.
Sincerely,
The Publishing Company
P.S. Pay Quasi, fatty

That's just sort of how they've worked since the demise of o&a in between significant cow activity: A truly autistic thunderdome to determine who they do and don't like before everyone goes all in on da bit

I get being a sperg on a message board. I used to specialize in it when I was about 15-19.

However, I don't get the pure idiocy of acting like people complaining about you ruining the entire board with hundreds of identical shitposts is somehow much worse than you posting hundreds of identical shitposts because you've decided someone is ruining the board by having a podcast which you were all in favor of three weeks ago and can easily ignore at any time. Ridiculously tedious faggotry. Just call the fat dumb guy fat and dumb.

 

[Akashic Retard]

Someone should tell Pat that he's lying about the rejection letters so he posts one as proof.

 

[Satan McAllister]

This is some Algebra II, which I know that fat piece of shit failed, but here goes.

There are a finite number of publishers, represented by x. When your rejection count is at least 2x, this could mean:

1. You are a shitty liar
2. You are a shitty writer
3. You should consider a new career path, preferably involving quick service fried food or discount retail
4. You are exceptionally fat
