Shemp Failure - Indiego Fuck Yourself, Geoff

Here's a follow-up on the arrogant Canuck asshole who expected people to give him money to write a book about SHEMP. Guess what. MASSIVE FAIL.

It's the second time this asshole has failed on Indiego, after "networking" and badgering the world with his nitwit narcissism. A pie in the face is too good for him. The good news, for HIM, is that THIS time he gets to keep the money he raised. Ha ha ho ho hee hee. Unlike Kickstarter, the thieves at Indiego have a small-print gimmick for small-timers like Geoff. There's a little clause that allows him (and I assume Indiego, earning a percentage) to keep any money raised.

The professional thing to do is write the fucking book, or an outline and a sample chapter, then have your AGENT sell the fucking thing. Don't have an agent? That probably means you're quite the incompetent asshole. But maybe you're just new and have few credits, or you're some Canuck shit-for-brains who never did more than write for a local newspaper nobody's heard of. In that case, you sell the fucking thing yourself by contacting whatever book companies are willing to read unsolicited manuscripts.

But this vanity garbage of going to Kickstarter-type places and "publicizing" yourself by "networking" on Twitter and Farcebook and every forum and every newspaper website that has a comment area...is obnoxious. It only confirms the person doing it is a clueless LOSER.

Very few have the personality (Geoff has none) or the subject matter (maybe if it was a guide to Viley Virus's used tampons...) to get "fans" willing to PAY. After all, there's so much FREE. It's almost impossible to get people to PAY if you actually have a real book from a credible publisher...not a Kickstarter project, or a self-published eBook.

No, it's just not easy for even the pros to get published, get attention, or MAKE A LIVING. Maybe Geoff will now do the right thing. Eat shit and die.
