Megan Boyle: Dead? Alive? Comatose?

>>7665735
Tao Lin probably murdered her.

Wow, that ugly lady who sang so opera well on that Britbong show sure has changed her style

why the fuck somebody of sound mind would pay 5k for this, I'll never understand

>>7665936
I mean, 12 hours is a pretty long time as far as hookers go, and most don't offer that, but on the other hand for that price you could probably hire at least four or five much hotter hookers at once.

Spergs gonna sperg I guess.

Marie Calloway is literally a hooker?

>>7666016
I never even heard of her before this thread but after reading about her book it seems pretty appropriate.

Alt Lit is lying drunk in the gutter, Anon, it's only natural for us to spit at it as we walk by.

>>7666024
1/3 of her book was already stories about her being a prostitute

It's not like things have changed, she just picked a career path and stuck with it.

>>7666057
That's what I mean. Pretty much all of her writing seems to have revolved around sex and prostitution. So this seems more like a self-fulfilling prophecy than any sort of ironic twist.

I guess the joke's on Vice and whatever other people pretended that she was anything more than a whore.

>>7666105
lol Thought Catalogue

>>7666105

All these alt-lit girls are capricious manipulators who can only bluff their way through for so long until it becomes obvious that they never cared enough about literature to stick with it. I'd still fuck her though.

>>7666105
Have there been any reactions from them? Any eating of crow?

God, Alt Lit just totally lit itself on fire, didn't it? Just like New Sincerity. Has there been any worthwhile literary movement at all since, fuck, Dadaism?

>>7666129
None as far as I can see. Everyone just forgot she exists.

Though if you want to see a reaction of some sort you could drop a line to Vice about her current activities just to see if they'll respond.

>>7666123
I only know about her, Megan Boyle, and Mira Gonzalez, but the fact that none of them genuinely gave a shit about writing seemed obvious from what they were writing. All of it's self-absorbed social media centric trendwhore bullshit.

Tao Lin just legitimized that sort of thing by getting published and associating himself with them, but even his writing -shitty as it is- is at least writing instead of endlessly relying on gimmicks like tweets, blogging, and selfies.

>last trace of her on Goodreads is over a month ago

Confirmed dead. I actually had this book pre-ordered too.

>>7665994
That delicious pudge

>>7665857
she looks squishy

>>7666195


My bet is psych ward. She cracked. Probably why Tyrant has no mention of her or her book.

If she was dead she'd still get published. Nobody would waste that publicity.

>>7666578
That doesn't really sound like tyrant. They built themselves up as the edgy publisher so you'd think they'd be all over something like that.

Either she got into some sort of dispute with them, or just never finished writing it.

>>7666129
Thank god Alt Lit is shit

>>7666709
In my experience the psych ward takes you "out of society" for at least a month, the doctors may have told the publishers to not say anything about this so that the two journos interested in alt-lit wouldn't show up and reverse all progress. After she's out, then you can do edgy advertising: "this novel sent its author to the loonybin!!111!!!"

I called this a while ago but I was accused of being delusional virgin. I could tell Marie Calloway was a hooker back when she and her female friend were taking pictures of themselves in different European cities dressing like sluts.

>>7666716
That sounds plausible enough, I guess. Though it could be rehab rather than the nuthouse since she is known for popping pills. Did Tyrant completely remove her from their site or is there just no mention of this next book?

Why are all of Tao's ex-girlfriend fucked up after dating him?

E.R.Kenndy: becomes a trannie
Marie Calloway: starts selling her body
Megan Boyle: manic depressive

>>7666794
As far as I can tell, they were all fucked up before they met him. He's the kind of guy who goes for unstable girls because they're easy and they're willing to put up with his bullshit. At least for a while, anyway.

It's not that he goes for unstable women; it's that normal women are not interested in him. I've seen him at parties. A normal woman who's smart and has a decent job or is interested in her schoolwork -- even a lot of the NYC hipster pretentious chicks -- they don't see anything to like in Tao Lin.

Basically a test for a young woman to see if she's mentally stable is to ask her if she'd like to be involved in Tao Lin. If she says yes, she's a nutjob; if she says "Are you fucking kidding me?", she's normal.

Tao is actually a kinda cool person now. His personality has changed since Taipei, he doesn't really do the depressed autist thing anymore. Shoplifting From AA was still pretty bad tho.

>>7667031
>It's not that he goes for unstable women; it's that normal women are not interested in him.

Uh, no shit? What did you think I meant by "they're easy and they're willing to put up with his bullshit"?

>>7666777
there is no mention of megan boyle or the new book anywhere on Tyrant's website

>>7668001
Was there any mention of her or the book there before though? Her first book was published by Tao Lin's imprint.

this. fucking "unstable" upper crust offspring being "edgy" and part of a "movement"

So is Tao Lin the only alt-lit author with even a modicum of talent?

>>7668291
He's not even really an alt-lit author. The people he associates himself with are, but he just writes the most banal sorts of books in a flat, deadpan style.

>>7668291
Taipei has an interesting style but its not that rewarding.

I still say one of us should get in touch with Vice and tell them about Marie Calloway being a hooker while framing it as "I remember reading about her on your site and then I saw this" or some shit.

>>7665896
how yall find pics like this?

>>7668463
He said it was from instagram.

>>7668328
Hmm, I may do it. I'm actually a published writer myself, so I could frame it as a matter of "the literary community" or somesuch bullshit.

>>7669209
Please do. If anything comes of it, post a thread about it.

>>7669243
I'm writing the email right now. I'm actually mostly framing it as me trying to get plugged into a writing gig for Vice myself, but at the end I'll casually throw in, "I think your continued support of Calloway as she moves on to a career as a sex worker is particularly daring."

This thread got really off topic

>>7670827
When the topic is someone who most of us haven't read, and they haven't been seen or heard from in months there's not much to say about it.

how out of touch are you?
her sex work lifestyle is well known and she has been writing about it for like 5 years...

>>7666794

Marie is not one of his exes.

>>7665857
she looks in the mirror every morning and says, "i'm a classic beauty. just like the paintings."

pls give the source...
Just yesterday I was searching for info on what Marie is doing these days.
She has been posting very sparingly on her tumblr. I feared she'd changed blog

>>7671060
That was before she got a book published and took on the "serious writer" label. She hasn't put anything out in nearly 3 years and is still a hooker so she's probably just going to stick with the hooker thing.

>>7671091
ok fuck it's private

>>7671096
The german translation of her book was just released.

How can I access private instagrams?

>>7671110
That doesn't really count unless she translated it herself.

>>7671157
It counts for being more successful than you'll ever be...

+there is literally nothing wrong with being a sex worker

>>7665857
>>7665866
>>7666050
Damn, she is really attractive in my opinion.
Where can I buy her services? I have the money

>>7671180
>le better than you maymay
lolk

It's not about what's right or wrong, it just goes to show she cares more about fucking guys for money than writing. Writing was just a passing phase for her.

>>7671424
Ok, got it. Your just jealous that you're not a published and pretty working girl

>>7671456
What is there to be jealous of, exactly? If anything, she's pitiable because she only got published by making a spectacle of herself and it never really went anywhere after a small press published her only book.

>>7671456
>working girl
kek

>>7671474
You're the only one who is making a spectacle by making your belittling posts. Pathetic.
Kill yourself.

There's no need to reply.

>cant make money selling books

To use your body as a vessel for another person's happiness, so that you can continue to survive and write about your sensory experience; is this the most authentic /lit/ lifestyle, albeit derivative?

>>7671141
this. hook us up family.

>>7665857
Care to dl all of her instagram pics and upload them somewhere for your 4chan/lit-friendos?

>>7671492
You'd have some sort of point if it was at least a bestseller. It wasn't. The tell-all memoir isn't a new thing. It's just that more than a handful of people usually care unlike this time.

I realize you're just a shitposting memer, but you could've at least tried not to be this obvious about it.

>>7671500
Yeah. This seems to be relevant to the state of alt lit so things should be fine.

>>7671505
No, I am not a memer.
I genuinely like her writing, her book and her overall internet presence.

>>7671592
The author she was fucked by was some 40 year old white dude who she wrote about as "Adrian Brody". She maintains that Tao Lin never had sex with her.

>>7671692
His real name is Rob Horning, apparently.

>it will never be 2008 again

did anyone get that instagram open and make the upload?

>>7671500
it's been hours. Shaking my head family. Usually you all are faster when it comes to these sorts of things.

>>7672545
You should've asked when the guy who was posting them was around last night.

>>7672557
Lol I need a reason to actually care about alt lit. Finally browsed the thread and everyone convinced me why I should care about the girls with demented stares. ;)

Meh hopefully he returns or one of the other sleuths around here figures it out.

>>7665893
to be fair she's always tweeting abt how bored she is

>>7672847

Yeah I looked it up and read it after posting that. I still think her twitter stuff and poetry is terrible but reading about the stupid shit she does is surprisingly entertaining.

>>7673159
I just read it now. It is pretty entertaining t b h. If she dropped the postsincere tradition of writing about doing nothing, but kept the prose tradition, so that she was doing more nothing-y writing but making it about dynamic, generally corporeal things, I'd be down to read more of her. It's got a kind of Warholian effect.

So how are we doing on that instagram photo array download family?

>>7671495
She's not being a whore to survive.

The girl best known as "Marie Calloway" comes from a rich Vegas family with casino money. Why do you think she uses the pseudonym?

She's being a whore for designer shoes, a bay area apartment and an easy lifestyle.

RIP Girl who had so much for to give to the upload of the instagram pictures. Date Of Birth - 2016

Is there any actual info on what happened to Megan Boyle?

>>7680223
Not as far as anyone can tell, no. You could email Tyrant or Tao Lin about her and see if they reply. [email protected] [email protected]

>>7680323
already contacted Tyrant about Megan and the book a month or so ago and got zero response from them.

These people are pathetic.
Not because one is autistic or the other is a whore or anything like that.

But because they desperately try to cling on the "literary life" and force postmodernity as a "ahhaha we're so cool random classy intellectual xxDDD" attitude.

No word is enough to describe how disgusted I am by their vanity and their inability to be self-aware.

It's like watching a child act as an adult, it's adorable how badly, awkwardly they do it, it's adorable that they aren't self-aware enough to understand any of it and why we find them adorable.

But once you're adult that changes, they are damaged enough to be that stupid.
They might THINK they understand some of it and play along with the "I don't care what other people say and I like being silly" attitude, but that doesn't work for everything and certainly not for this.

Anyone adult cringe/pathetic/stupid can say that and go on doing their idiotic routine, but they do their idiotic routine with that excuse because only know we find it pathetic, they don't know WHY it is pathetic, if they KNEW why it was they wouldn't do it, or find infinitely more subtle ways.

If you're on the autistic spectrum you might not get any of this.

>>7680978
What about, muumuuhouse/Tao Lin? He's still friends with her even after they fucked/got fake married so he might know what she's up to.
