I’m pretty sure that you’d be told to fuck off the minute Kiwi Farms is involved. And it’d probably break the rule of direct interactions with a thread subject’s friends, family, and associates.

Oh, obviously you don't say you're from the farms.

You say "I'm Joe Schmidt, From Piece of Schmidt Book Reviews".

90 percent of the time, publicists don't even blink unless they only have like five ARCs left.

Someone will have to dig through the thread, but her literature agents are two literaral Brooklyn hipsters who run an outfit out of a warehouse. I work in publishing and I'd never heard of either of them.

Lindsay Ellis got a book deal because of her follower/audience size, and everyone - including her - knows it.

I think resentment has always been there. It probably is Lindsay's biggest driving factor. It comes from a belief that she is "better" than everyone else and that success should just "naturally happen" for her. So instead of appreciating an opportunity when it gets given to her, she will come around to hating the person, or group, which gave it to her because that "success" should come as a result of her being Lindsay Ellis. How dare they hand it to her! The resentment compounds when each of her endeavors fail because Lindsay believing she is naturally brilliant, feels she doesn't have to put in the hard work and hustle to make it succeed, because being "brilliant" things should "just happen" for her. Who needs hard work and competence when you're "brilliant" like Lindsay?

It's really odd how often lately I read something and it reminds me of Daffy Duck.

Assuming that's not an insult to Daffy.

That's the bloke. A literal podcasting hipster not attached to an agency, and whom isn't in the phone book sized agent catalog I have on my bookshelf.

I know people give Patrick Tomlinson shit, but his agent is Russell Galen. He's like one of three agents in scifi/fantasy whom if he calls a publisher with an author or book, he goes straight to the head honchos.

I have no idea how the hell he landed Galen as an agent, but I do understand why a couple publishers rolled the dice on Tomlinson based on his word alone. The man found authors from Terry Goodkind to Harry Turtledove, he comes to to you with a prospect... you listen.

This hipster calls hocking the TGWTG/Breadtube town bicycle? I remain shocked St. Martins gave them the time of day.

They really put a lot of chips that her rep as a YouTuber would be enough.

Lindsay’s simps are/were major proselytizers so I think it was an easy assumption that if they tossed Lindsay a few bucks a few months to do little or nothing and spend hours talking about how smart she is, they’d want to spend $15 or so on a book. They really overestimated what the average Lindsay fan was after, which was an alcohol bloated woman from the hollers that looked attainable by the nerd masses. It’s one thing to mute her video and fap to her, it’s another to read a book from her where you don’t even get to see what kind of cleavage she has.

The saddest thing for Lindsay is that she tried to pull the Breadtube Feminist shit in a time where there are no shortage of said breadtube feminists. She'd have done better if she stuck with Doug and continued to pull off the Nostalgia Chick gig. As Doug's female counterpart, she got more fame than being just another feminist talking head, especially since feminist talking heads tend to look for their own sources of authority, and some random hick girl pretending to be a city woman talking to strangers online is not a source of feminist authority. Maybe if she had academic degrees in feminism and worked in a major city university, she'd get the love and attention she desires from the Leftist media, but as she stands now, the best she got to be was Anita Sarkeesian's wing-girl.

Then again, that would force her to work hard and spend real cash that she probably doesn't have to earn those degrees. Which is something she obviously doesn't want. If she goes to daddy dearest for the money, she'll just be another woman who needs a man's help to get ahead. She will never get over the fact that she was more famous as Doug's female counterpart than being what she wants; a feminist author and critic.

That and also advertising her Nebula videos on Youtube wll get more people to know about them thus leading to more people subscribing to Nebula/her Patreon in order to watch her new videos. This 10 minute video is just a free sample being used to get people interested. Give them a bite, then they will pay for a meal if they love it and want more.

I'm going to rate your post as horrifying, on the grounds that tubby here is an almost perfect encapsulation of the feminist experience: getting a head start via a man's assistance, getting a bloated ego fueled by grrl power propaganda fed to her as a kid, detaching from said man to prove she can stand on her own, failing to stand on her own, and finally retreating into a dying niche as both she (and her audience) realized they wasted their fertile years chasing windmills. The only part that's missing was lindsy being told she is at the bottom of the oppression totem pole by a nigger troon in a wheelchair and adjusting her content accordingly like a good basic bitch.

And that's the funny part of it. Lindsay Ellis was a middle-of-the-road successful content producer who altered her productions to fit the needs of a detached, sterile, academic feminism that was despised by the very same internet crowd that made the Nostalgia Critic, and by extension, the Nostalgia Chick, a resounding success. In doing so, she destroyed her own brand and credibility as an internet personality, especially since she traded a gig that made her a recognizable icon with a gig where she'd be, at best, some pleb who works for minimum pay. Especially since there are more than enough feminist talking heads on the internet, some of whom have credentials that surpass Lindsay's. Some are celebrities who were in blockbuster movies, others went to school for it and have degrees on feminism. Neither of which Lindsay has. She has degrees in film-making, not academic feminism. So she doesn't have the necessary credentials to pontificate to the masses about the gospel of feminism.

But I suppose it was inevitable; her politics led her to make such a change. She was already a pro-choice feminist before becoming the Nostalgia Critic with tits. And it was her beliefs that being a feminist is more important than being the Nostalgia Chick. If Lindsay had common sense, she'd realize that there's no shortage of internet feminists out there, and making the jump from the NC's female sidekick to feminist talking head is not a profitable move. Not to mention that unlike Lindsay, many of these feminist talking heads like Anita Sarkeesian actually went to school for that crap and have the proper authority and credentials that allow them to lord over the rest of the feminist sheep. As the most recognizable face of CA's female wing, Lindsay had more popularity and credibility than she does as a Breadtube feminist.

And yes, she wasted the prime of her youth chasing that feminist trend. I've met more than my fair share of old, jaded feminists who felt betrayed by the movement and who wished they could have a do-over.

John Lennon had deep-seated mommy issues. His mother Julia was a "free spirit" party girl who left young John with her stricter, more conventional sister Mimi and her husband (John's father was a merchant seaman and was not a part of his life). Julia remained out of John's life until he was a teenager. Julia encouraged his art and his guitar playing, which Auntie Mimi discouraged, and even taught her son banjo chords (that are very different than guitar chords and which Paul McCartney would have to break John of later).

John loved having his mum back in his life. Sadly, she was killed by an off-duty, drink-driving cop when John was around 16. He suffered because of that tragedy throughout his young-adult life. He was a very angry young man, leading to risky, erratic, and violent behaviours.

These violent tendencies often manifested against the women in his life. John was a batterer, both of his first wife Cynthia and later of Yoko. Cynthia was a typical Merseyside girl that John only married because he knocked her up with their only child Julian. John wanted to be the father to Jules that John never had, but Julian was born just as Beatlemania was taking off.

John met Yoko via an art show in London in 1966, and was instantly smitten. Yoko, who was several years older than John and a feminist, became for him a mommy figure. But having her in his life didn't resolve the deep issues in his psyche. All of the drugs that were a part of that scene didn't help. He couldn't ever talk about his pain of his childhood because that wasn't the English way. When the Beatles were in India, one of the songs John wrote (with a finger-picking style taught to him by Donovan in India) was a love song to Yoko but titled with his mother's name.

After the Beatles broke up (not BECAUSE of Yoko, but she played a role in the clash of personalities and egos that caused the split), John and Yoko, now married, underwent the now-discredited Primal Scream therapy of psychotherapist Arthur Janov. Although the therapy didn't "cure" him, it did leave us his 1970 masterpiece album "John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band".

In the early 70s, the Lennons, now living in NYC, got deeply political, spurring J. Edgar Hoover's FBI to start surveilling him. This would lead to the Nixon Administration to start deportation proceedings against John, made John increasingly paranoid. This did not help his emotional issues.

His physical abuse against Yoko and overall assholish behaviour (in small part because of a bruised ego of being the only ex-Beatle at the time not to have a No. 1 hit single) prompted Yoko to have him out. This led to his 18-month "lost weekend" in LA in 1973-74, getting blitzed with the likes of Harry Nilsson, Ringo, and Keith Moon. John constantly called Yoko begging to come home, but she refused. This was Lennon's rock bottom.

During this time, his friend Elton John, the top pop act of the time, played on and contributed vocals to John's song "Whatever Gets You Thru the Night" for Lennon's 1974 album "Walls and Bridges". Elton assured Lennon that the song would reach No. 1. Lennon didn't think it would, so Elton made a bet with him that if the song topped the singles chart, John would have to appear on stage with Elton. To Lennon's surprise, the song did go to No. 1, and the date was set for John to play a three-song encore at Elton's Madison Square Garden concert on Thanksgiving 1974. Unbeknownst to Lennon, Elton arranged for Yoko to be at the show. Sickened by drink and stage fright, Lennon made it through the short set. After the show was over, John saw Yoko looking at him backstage. It was then that John and Yoko began making arrangements for him to go back home.

Shortly thereafter, Yoko became pregnant for the second time with John (the first pregnancy ended in miscarriage). During this time, Lennon's immigration status was reserved, with a U.S. Court of Appeals ruling that immigration officials and the FBI acted improperly with regard the Lennon's case. On October 9, 1975, Lennon's 35th birthday, John got his green card and Yoko delivered John's second son Sean.

John would go on to drop out of show business for the next five years, being a stay-at-home dad and making homemade recordings while Yoko ran the family business. Being a homebody and NOT having to be a rock star was just what John needed. He was finally happy, and, more importantly, he was rid of his demons.
