Not OP, but - despite not expecting much from 4chan ever because why the hell would you - I feel fairly confident that at least 50% of the people on this entire site could legitimately write something better than that. Now, that's not exactly saying a lot because the passage linked in the OP is uncommonly dreadful, but whatever.

So I learned today that you can self publish on amazon. How does it work?

>> No.5053015

>>5052964
You're met with a simple screen with an upload button and a button reading "Self-Publish!"

You upload your novel and when you hit "Self-Publish!", the first three pages of your story is posted onto /lit/ with the greentext ">Self-publishing" beside it. It is not added to the store, you do not get any money, and if your name isn't in the first three pages you receive no credit for your work.

There's quite a bit of difference:
>it's in 3rd person, Twilight is in 1st
>Twilight can't go three pages without dialog
>the main character seems somewhat competent
>it's an action scene, which Twilight doesnt have
>the tone isnt bored and passive, it's melodramatic and corny
>description of actual settings, while awful, are at least present

The only similarity this has to Twilight is that it's awful, but it's a very different brand of awful

I read it long before it became a "phenonema," back when the internet had nary a bad word to say about it.

It didnt become trendy to hate it until the movie came out.

That's not what I was saying, but thank you for completely misreading my post and putting words in my mouth.

No. What I was saying was that as somebody who remembers being all alone and not having anyone to discuss the awfulness of Twilight with, to seeing the flood of anti-Twilight rhetoric after the movie premier, it was pretty clear to me that a lot of people were just jumping on the bandwagon. Most people cant even articulate why the books are bad without automatically jumping to "vampires dont sparkle!" or "lol vampire cesarian section!"

I mean, if you hate Twilight, great, so do I. But if you hate it and cant state why you're just as bad as the tards who love it and cant explain why.
