TGWTG Linkara / Lewis Lovhaug - HMMMMMMM? (Dead Gay Muppet Gangbang)

[MisterBee]

oh cool mr enter showed up.

Mr enter is god awful. He's worse then rebeltaxi, but not as bad as roundtable

The barnes and noble he used to work at carried comics in the early 200s, there was a tiny spinning magazine rack with floppies.

Fairly good selection, anyway. The LCS we used to go. To used to be up the road and is now across the street from said BnN

I still have a strong memory of running into him at the comic shop while he was working on lightbringer and he got mad for my drawing an awning on one of his buildings.

 

[The tired cat]

I'm still trying to wrap my brain, why in the seven pineapples did he think that a Major degree in English was a good idea.

He thought he was going to be a famous novel writer.

 

[Adamska]

He thought he was going to be a famous novel writer.

He also only thought that because he arrogantly thought that he would write something better than Paolini.

Because of course Lewis made his life choice entirely because some schmoe at the age of a teen wrote a book that got popular. His whole life has been chase clout for minimum effort if you really think about it.

To be fair, eragon is pretty shit. It wouldn't take a lot of effort for a literate semicompetant highschool aged writer to do better.

But this is Lewis.

It's one thing to write a book to see if you can do better.

It's another to utterly change your life course and write a rape trilogy you then named yourself after because you think you can do better and magically become popular without doing footwork or having the folks set the footwork.

Does Barnes and Noble even sell comics. I do know they sell manga.

The graphic novel sections seem to be shrinking in these stores, as the Manga sections continues to grow.

You can't pay people to read DC and Marvel, but they love Manga.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

He worked at a Barnes & Noble I think. That's also where I heard he met Liz. Dunno if she was working there or not.

He could go back there putting books on the shelves and the berating everybody for buying crappy comic books before launching into a tirade on why that comic book sucks. Then ask them to support him on Patreon for providing that service to them.

He used to say he actually enjoyed working retail before he did AT4W full time. He probably would have been happier if he'd stuck with that. Most likely he'd still be living at home working for minimum wage, but at least he'd be enjoying himself. And probably not married to a woman he can't stand.

Wonder how long it'll take for DC and Marvel to try and release Manga versions of their comics again.

 

[Phil Ken Sebben]

Doubtful as it didn't catch on very well and they're both about the bottom line.

But, having said that, there is a Deadpool manga out there which I think is serialized in Shonen Jump. Takes place in Japan too but it's made for a Japanese audience so I don't know if that counts.

 

[TheShortWaveCerealKiller]

Wonder how long it'll take for DC and Marvel to try and release Manga versions of their comics again.

I remember Stan Lee made his own manga and it went up like a fart in church. If Marvel or DC ever did get back into manga it would be more licensing than anything, but even then the rights to the biggest manga are already owned by either VIZ, SJ, or YenPress, so Marvel/DC would have to find like, legit indy manga artists to promote and hope they sell, which on one hand sounds like a good idea and could potentially be a healthier work environment for the mangaka (seriously those dudes get whipped hard), but at the same time could also potentially be detrimental since modern Marvel/DC are full of cucks who would undermine the writing style and cultural differences of the people coming from Japan with their own political views, which arguably they've been doing for years with their American writers as well (barring the obvious few).

But this is Lewis.

Lewis was a terrible influence. I looked up how to self publish because of him but self published indy comics have more pote tial than self published novels if you're good enough.

Self-published novels can have a niche audience. It just depends on what you're aiming for. There's no shame in self-publishing but in Lewis' case there is because of the clear vanity nature of his """""""""writing."""""""""""

I’m pretty sure anything has potential if you and your product is good enough and willing to go through the grind and the bullshit.

Not just that, but plenty of author's have managed to climb into professional publishing because of their self-publishing endeavors. Larry Correia's first Monster Hunter book was self-published. It made the rounds until it ended up in the hands of Baen, where Correia has published ever since.

I wonder with his fanbase size and loyalty what somebody else would have been able to accomplish. I legitimately think he could be making millions yearly off his YouTube channel alone had it been run by somebody competent. Imagine that combined with him branching out into other fields. The guy would be set for life.

I think the issue is that Linkara’s shit falls flat the minute it goes outside his fanbase.

Lewis and his like don't think like that. He "Knows" he's competent, the problem is others can't see this. Because as we all know, criticism is only done for entertainment or trolling not for personal growth.

I think his highest income was around 70k yearly

That was when he was on Blip, right?
