REEEEEEETARRDDDDDD

>>8814197
>I literally have 3 acceptances within 2 weeks, two of them are at publications you’ve all heard of.

proof or you're lying

>>8814197
Where and what did you publish? I'd love to read it.

>>8814197
Bad bate, opie. Do your homework next time. Damn near no magazines of any repute respond within two weeks.

FUCK

> I had my dad check with his contacts and they confirmed that my submission was accepted without knowing my family background

¿¿¿

>>8814259
Exactly. How could they possibly have known that?

OP, sorry to tell you this, but you got accepted only because of your family name.

laughing at people being jealous

congrats OP, you are a better writer than 99% of the people here. The only people here who have things published, write shitty genre fic

>>8814259
It's Barron

>sheep tries to bait /lit/

Then again it's /lit/

>>8814205
Not him, but I know you from your reaction image name and childish hijinks. You're the single biggest cumstain of a poster on this board. If it's any incentive to leave, nobody wants you here.

>>8814197
Congratulations getting published. You're right, this board is hyperbolic about the difficulty. That said, I've only ever had short stories and opinion articles published; a novel would indeed be infinitely more difficult.

>>8814216
PROOF in form of an acceptance letter screenshot.
At least give the name of the pub that will be publishing your work, and a rough description of the story. Repost to gloat when it comes out.

>>8814370
Not a chance, my friend. I'm not about to reveal anything that could be traced back to me.

>>8814370
Not happening, sorry. I'm not volunteering any information that could possibly reveal my identity to a website notorious for being a sociopath clubhouse.

>>8814370
Yeah, I won't be doing that, sorry. I don't want to put my career and safety at risk by putting anything close to personal information here.

You didn't happen to mention the name of the professor that recommended you submit, did you? In your letter to them, I mean.

>>8814411
>>8814405
>>8814402
Shit, sorry about this. Didn't mean to triple-post. But the point still stands.

Oooooooops! Didn't mean to fucking Q U A D R U P L E post! Sorry!!!

By the way all who read my story shall forget it by the time they have brushed their teeth in going to bed.

>>8814420
That's alright, they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

>>8814354
>Not him, but I know you from your reaction image name and childish hijinks.

I saved that image a few days ago from Google and used it in one thread to troll some Russell Brand fan. So it can't be me you're talking about.

But now I'm curious who you are talking about. Or who you think you're talking about.

>>8814420
The only story to forget about is the one you're telling right now. You're bullshitting.

>>8814439
Precisely you. I recommended Brand as an insult to OP, not because I liked Brand. This was clear in context, moron.

PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN

>>8814197
Don't mind these stoner dudes, OP. You're a hardworking, intelligent person who deserves the position you're in right now. Whining and complaining, instead of improving your skills, doesn't get you anywhere. It's about time the sophomores here realised that, and put some effort into it rather than making awful posts here continually.

>>8814500
Thank you. I didn't come here to gloat. Rather, I wanted to inspire my old chums at /lit/ to actually make something of themselves.

You miser.

>>8814205
Using "a" instead of "an" is a common dialect feature of African American Vernacular English, meaning that OP is black.

Almost had me there.

>>8814770
it appears that OP is proficient with the tool commonly known as "inspect element"

>LARPing on /lit/

Hey guys OP here. No idea why so many shitposters are pretending to be me (maybe trying to, for even a fractional second, satisfy their dreams of being a published writer? Even if it's as pathetic as pretending to be someone else on 4chan?).

No, I will not tell you the story/publication, since it will be quite obvious which story is mine when you guys see it.

I have decided to go with one of the two nationally-known publications, so rest assured that sometime in the next 2 - 3 months you will be reading a story by one of your fellow "/lit/erates."

Thanks to all of you with kind words. And yes, definitely try to have a little less resentment when trying to get published, it's only hurting yourselves.

>>8814412
Nope.

>>8814247
That's what I heard, but I didn't really go through the standard submission process. I just tagged along with my mom to some fundraising event and dropped left drafts with some Senior Editor-type folks.

c'mon dude, at best you got picked for wicrowaved talent; at worst you got picked for your mom's (very) raw talent.

are you by any chance of the paolini family?

>>8817328
>wicrowaved talent

Is this a real expression?

To clarify: the joke is that he got in through nepotism (his dad's contacts).
