Delusional Writer Wants "The Next Twilight" Edited For Free


Everyone and their mother has had what they thought was a great idea for a book, movie or tv show. A few of us have gone through with writing them. And, gotta say, writing original and groundbreaking works of fiction isn't something that really works out on your first try. In fact there's a good chance that as a writer you'll just end up writing copy for some mindless internet culture/entertainment site. Plus, bullying a random person into editing your work for free on the promise that they "get to witness literary history" is a pretty good indicator that your work sucks. But, hell, watch "The Vampiress of Crapshittia" become an ultra-bestseller next month. Then we can all buy some hats and go eat them.

The fact that it was after midnight in a 7-11, and that 7-11 seems to be a universal magnet for the bizarre makes the tale that much more believable. Also, shout out to the contortionist for having no idea why the campus alert about a suspicious individual went out in the first place.
