Stephen King is famously hated on by /lit/izens.
The reasons are justifiable. Basically, his writing sucks.
He's considered a talent-less hack on here.
That said, no one on /lit/ has ever produced any proof of published material, and therefore protected themselves nicely from being vulnerable.
Your diary desu, and critique threads don't matter as they're excerpts from personal writing. Even if a piece of published material is posted, it's not enough to be examined and critiqued properly. And I'm saying all this thinking that someone here is a published author/poet.
What is clear, though, is that /lit/ is full of aspiring writers.
Yet there's nothing from anyone to show, nothing published and better than the uber-trashy Mr. King.
When will this hypocrisy end?
>King's a joke!
>I'm a writer!
>*writes*
>Writing makes King seem like Cervantes
>>
This is a board on 4chan, what would we possibly gain by providing evidence?
It also seems you don't understand that not everyone shares the same opinions, despite sharing the 'Anonymous, label, and that people are allowed to be critical without having produced anything themselves. 'Critic' is a vocation in itself.
You don't appear to be terribly bright.

Bullshit, Stephen King is hated by tourists from /tv/. Anyone who matters realizes that Dark Tower is a very important series.

>>9714312
Writing tards on four chin don't make King any less bearable

*unbearable, typo

Didn't /lit/ write a novel 1 word at a time, then got it on Amazon?

Go to bed, Stephen.

More like a Freudian slip, bitch.

>unironically defending mediocrity
Nobody would bash King if he weren't overrated.
>>
>>9714384
Bullshit asshole. King might not be Dostoevsky, but he's certainly fucking close.
>>
>>9714525
King is not close to Dostoevsky, but if there are any great horror novels, he's written one of them - Pet Semetary.
>>
>>9714537
>King is not close to Dostoevsky
There are few authors who understand the intricacies of the human condition like King and Dostoevsky do. Take a good look at any of King's dialogue and it will reveal to you what a master he truly is.
>Pet Semetary
Kek, that's like saying Demons or The Gambler is Dostoevsky's best work. It, or the Mist could be considered King's best work.

How is King overrated though?
The people who know good writing rate him just fine.
>>
>>9714578
The post-modernists hate him because of his profound underlying themes on society. He see's the world for what it truly is.
>>
>>9714312
Sure is samefag in here about right now
>>
>>
I don't really get the hate. He's written some great stuff and some that is shit.
>>
>>9714335
I can agree on the Dark Tower series bjt everything else I've read from King I've dropped after several dozen pages because it was disgusting.
>>
>>9714312
haha this is like when you tell a fanboy their favorite writer/artist/filmmaker/etc isn't that good and they go on this pathetic defensive and start insulting you instead of defending their favorite
>>
>>9714312
It's the same with every other popular writer. /lit/ has to show how superior it is by shitting on anything that people like. Most of the time they've never even read the books they're sneering at.
