Some of the worst writing ever. Absolutely hilarious. The Battlefield Earth of shakespearian tragedies

To me, the cover image isn't just the incentive to select the book, it's also an "Easter egg hunt" I play when reading the book. It's an "Easter Egg hunt" to find what scene in the book the cover represents, and an anticipation to imagine how the author felt it was important to the story.

This book introduced me to Anne Frank and Ari Folman. This is also canon to the real Anne Frank, since Anne Frank Fonds (an official company founded by Otto Frank) commissioned it.

All humans want to create. Ai's sole appeal is because it alleviates the struggle for skill. But you never fully express yourself with ai, you dont pour something of yourself into it. It is mass produced, over processed, junk food "retaurant" fare. One day, people will know the difference. A lot of people dont care now, wont care then. They werent going to buy our books and art anyway. Artists who dont support other artists shock and dismay me, but not many people wonder about ethics and morality in their day to day lives. Fast food is, fast, cheap. The appeal of a restaurant isnt what appeals to them. There was a time when digitial art overtook paingbrushes and pencils. I said "did you draw this by hand? If so wow!" I was told (i was a kid back then) "who would do that?" And another said "because that is another level of awesome." And then we had a balancing of sorts when composers didnt need orchestras. They can use synthetic things, not just samples. But people will pay hundreds to go to the opera and see real musicians. Real broken strings. Hours of training. Years of experience. And the full thing to enjoy. And it costs a pretty penny. It is a fond wish, perhaps im optimistic, that the real stuff with eventually have a price tag that reflects the work put in, the value of the product. Because for a long time now, starving artist was a cliched reality. We have day jobs. It sucks, but i think... i hope... one day, we will $$ get some compensation for putting this hard work and heart in. Because ai, does neither hard work or heart. And it certainly cannot plot in intricate symbols and themes. It has no sense of contrasts that are subtle and sublime. It cannot keep track of these minute threads over a 4 book series. One day, i choose to believe, we will get ours.

"The act of drawing".... That sounds icky, unnecessary phrasing lol Is it just me or is that not how people talk normally :p Like i dont enjoy "the act" of plotting :p but gotta be done coz i enjoy the writing part but dont want to bin thousands of words when what i end up with is a pile of unstructured... stuff. the prospect of organising that mess is overwhelming. I dont like "act of" cleaning more than i dislike plotting :p Surprise shad, some people write and dont enjoy writing- they enjoy having written. But if they dont do the part they dont like, then they know they didnt do the thing they did. It isnt an excuse to cop out lol, and i 100% believe the louder they crow the emptier their puffed out chest is of actual pride. He keeps saying "i am an artist, i am good at this! It is legit!" I honestly think he is loud and repetitive and defensive... because he wants to believe it himself. He is trying to convince himself when he tries to convince others. To legitimise himself... because be feels illegitimate. Just a bit of psychology there lol "Caught in an act of indecency" "Guilty of acts of violence" Idk it just sounds so weird to me, like a guilty conscience manifesting in weird phrases. Then again, he may be someone who would go around with thees and thous

All fun stories! Thank you for reading my submission!

Yeah, honestly I worried it was stretch for the prompt, too. My logic was she a nurse and they help people?

Enjoyed them all. 💯

I used to watch shad frequently for his medieval content and fell off when he started getting political, it simply wasn't the content I wanted from him. But I assumed his book would at least reflect his stated values. That being right wing basic conservatism. And hearing this I'm wondering what the hell he was thinking. Most right wingers are comfortable with the idea of irredeemable people, and yet he made his hero an irredeemable person. For all his whining about the far left he made a protagonist that even the most leftist person on the planet wouldn't defend as being reformable. And most of his right wing audience would be volunteering to be on his characters firing squad. A child rapist?! Wtf!? For all you can say About Mao, Hitler and Stalin, even they didn't do that. Nazis and Communists either deny that the atrocities happened or they say that it did happen but that it happened because of either flaws in the leaders character or improper implementation of the ideology. Because if true the actions are indefensible. And he gives us a character who did it and kinda feels bad? Absolute insane levels of depravity. There is no redemption arc for a character like this. I'm left wondering if he simply gave us an insight into who he would be if he could get away with it. But it's okay because he would feel sorryish.

Absolutely great stories! I was looking forward to seeing what people do with this prompt :) I’ve wanted to put Ukoback in a story for so long - he’s just the silliest piece of demonology ever! Really. This little goofy-looking gremlin who invented fried food, barbecue, and fireworks. The classical art of him looks like Mr. Bean crossed with a gremlin.

I think I might start posting his videos as my own

if trump was an author/artist

My personal theory about why the army hasn't developped plot armor yet is because they're still trying to figure out how to make it work for people who aren't plot-critical :p

damn another artist hating on ai and technological advancement just to keep their job on life support.

I'm pretty late here, but US law is irrelevant to Australia on the whole (other than the odd case), especially US constitutional law. Australia does have copyright laws though, so Shad is potentially breaking those laws.

Hi there, Lars here from Camille's Harem! I just threw one of my books into your Fresh Meat Feature, and I already wanted to say that if (and this might be a BIG IF in asking) you want to roast/interrogate/interview the author for the great or horrible job that he's done, then I volunteer as tribute! Thanks for giving indie authors a chance to be heard through your channel. :)

If any of his fans actually read the drinker’s terrible book, they would call it woke and DEI and every buzzword they know

I like how, exactly like me, when told don’t run, you start running like crazy

Bro decided to die on this hill because he can't draw for shit and couldn't find another medium to practice at, tragic

If I may suggest a book to cover in the same vain as Shadiversity's book "Shadow of the Conqueror" or ISOM from Eric July, a graphic novel: "Ghost of the Badlands," from Razorfist. He's part of the same group of anti-woke KZbinrs same as Shad and Eric who's made not 1, not 2, but 3 novels and his latest is Ghost of the Badlands.

I hate it when they tell us basically "Oh, you don't want your art to be stolen? then don't post art! don't share!" The old school bully tactic used since forever. Bullies on Deviantart say this as an excuse to say crap without getting the consequences. Twitter and Instagram users do this to try and make themselves look better than others. So they just want us to shut up and shut us out, while they can run free and do whatever they want? Absolutely not. People like that have no class and empathy. Or at least they try to hide behind a 'professional' act. Since they consider what they make 'Art' and consider themselves as artists also. They should have thought this mentality through.

Congratulations on publishing Bodymore Zero 🥳🥳🥳🥳
