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

So... drinking with a few editors attending Gencon. Guess what comes up?

Apparently Fat Pat's been approaching other editors pitching a novel about a female game hunter in space. Which I can only assume means his deal with Tor fell apart.

None of them know who he is, or seem too impressed by the novel, and commented how he seems very high strung and tense.

How much should I tell them?
If you think the novel sucks now, just wait ‘til you read it!
 
So it's Automanic?

An Automaniac would be someone who's crazy about automobiles. An Automanic is someone who automatically spins off into manic outbursts.
I think he tried to make several puns happen. Probably went for "maniac", but then thought "Hey, cars have automatic transitions, so how about 'autoMANIC'? Man, I'm so smart".
Ironic because he drives stick.

So what youre saying is that he is fat? Awfully brave of you to say that, given that TOP MEN! TOP MEN! have repeatedly assured us that he isn't.
 
Christ, what an asshole.

Retard flails to defend Pat, this is the thanks he gets:

Pat the fat loser didn’t even get a special speaker’s badge or VIP badge. Just the ordinary Joe badge.

I’m surprised the rascals haven’t yet found a way to abuse his ID number to embarrass him even further.

I wonder if this means he paid to do his presentations?
 
One good thing about Pat is that he makes me feel more comfortable about my own writing, even if English is my second language. Makes me want to actually go for it more, because if an absolute hack like Fatirck can do it, so should I.
Absolutely 100 percent go for it, all you have to lose is some time invested. Don't wanna sidetrack too much, felt like it was something that needed to be said. Nothing is worse than not taking a swing at something you want to do.
Patrick is as stupid as he is short, and ugly. he's also very fat. His wife has a very fartable vagina though.

Yeah, will do. I wrote a short story once and got like half a dozen other basic ideas lying around, gotta do something with that. Maybe submit the short story to some more zines or something, but I don't really know about such things. I submitted it to Clarkesworld because it was the first I found, but I guess I should look more. Never got into the whole SciFi magazine culture, should fix that.

Pat should do more panels. They must be an absolute riot.
 
Guys like LRH and Asimov wrote like a novel a week. Pigsley impotently flails around in circles trying to pat himself on the back when he hits 1000 drunken words a month.

Learning more about the shitty current book publishing industry by FatFollowing, it looks like the only way you can have it make any sense is with volume. If you could get 2-3 books out a year it might be an okay life.
If Pat shat out books like he shits out Hooligans food, then he'd probably be approaching Chuck Wendig-tier in terms of getting books marketed and published. Wendig is a fucking hack, but Wendig is prolific as nothing else. Hell, maybe they'd even let him write a shitty Disney Star Wars EU book about Ewoks or licensed Star Trek book about whatever faggy shit crosses his mind.

Most conventions will give a panellist leave to do a panel, but they have to GTFO for the rest of the con.

If he is not a "guest" (ie: if his name is not RZ, Brandon or Carlos), he would have had to fork out the entire $125 for himself. Panels are not the big speech people think they are - they're just some people thrown together off a list of names to provide some entertainment.

There will be so many traditionally published nobodies at these events, it's just an excuse to go to the bar and start drinking. He should thank the rascals for even making him stand out slightly from the crowd.

Just put them out there. There's so many magazines and zines looking for content.

Anyway, a good resource is The Submission Grinder. And maybe see what is being published by subscribing to a magazine for a couple of issues - not everything is Woko Haram - many places do ride pretty close to the core concepts of F and SF
 
I'd probably read a book about a space game warden. Those people out in Africa who aggressively go and hunt down poachers always interested me, but I think Fatrick would have me asleep four words in. Only seen snippets of his writing but, just no.

He is so unlikeable, even when people are on his side he cant actually drum up enough sympathy to turn all the attention into actual fans. A casual observer should easily feel sorry for him, and might even become a fan if he really were an innocent victim that wasnt fucking terrible at his chosen vocations. If he had the first clue about storytelling, or political firebrandsmanship he would know how to turn controversy into something engaging. He's been getting so much free publicity for three years and he's pissed it all away by being a fat humorless pig.
