... but I thought I'd make a post about it anyway.
Now, I know at some point it became cool to hate on me. Actually, that point came when I decided to call Hadley a cunt and state in a moment of anger that "I hoped his entire family died." Since, of course, no one ever says anything on Ubersite that may be stupid, I was instantly vilified for this. Whatever. Hadley's still a cunt, but I've apologized for the statement. MudWhistle has yet to give a damn...
I haven't been posting on here much lately. Haven't been reviewing all that much either. Oh, I know, god forbid I'm not a desk jockey like some of you think I should be. I happen to really dig my job at the bar. The pay is good and I enjoy myself. Since I'm not married and I don't have kids, it's really not important to me the have a shit-ton of money. I'll leave the playboy style to Hidden.
Anyhow -
When I'm not getting -2DIES from 50% of you, there's a portion of users that actually kind of liked my fiction work on this site. This post is primarily for them. The main reason I haven't been around is due to the work I've been doing on my last two projects. Right now both books are only available at http://stores.lulu.com/brianfatahsteele but soon they'll be on amazon as well.
I've finished a 2nd collection of short stories called "The Glorious And The Wretched." It comes in at over 400 pages and contains 32 tales. Most of the stories inside have appeared in some form here on Uber. I've also (finally) finished my 1st novel, "Petty Like A God." It's part 1 of The Godlings Trilogy, coming in at 337 pages and contains work that I've never posted on the internet before.
I'm quite aware how many of you feel about Jack McCallum and I with our choices in publishing. IDDQD loves to point out his "opinion" at every opportunity. However, I am proud of this work and confident in my decision to go this route. In any case, I know there's a good number of people who will flame this post for whatever reason they have: that's okay. I'm having a huge book release event at the end of the month - I'll let you know how many I sell...

Congratulations, it's always been my dream to have my writings published. So kudos to you for having the balls to put your passion out into the world for others to judge or enjoy. I'll have to pick up The Glorious and The Wretched when I have the money to do so.

yeah, it is an 'opinion' - so is 'yours'...
and i guarantee you, mine is a lot closer to reality than you'd like to believe.
keep on trucking though, i genuinely hope you make it, even though i dont personally care for either your choice of genre or your execution of it.

Hey antius, I used to post on pulsehead. Congrats on getting your stuff published.
If I'm an amateur writer, how would you start looking for a publisher. I've talked to some people who've said that talking to an agent first is best but i'm totally clueless.

to be clear, i totally love and support what youre doing.
but "the glorious and the wretched": you might consider finding a new title because that is so overdone. i dont think that title jumps out at people at all, and in your situation, you need to grab people by the fucking throat. it's not intriguing or exciting.
"petty like a god" is a much, much better title.

**dumbfounded**
Whiskey_Jack - - Actually, the novel isn't so much horror. It's definitely more "Dark Modern Fantasy." It's about the children of gods: The Grim Reaper's son & his best friend, Father Time's Kid. He used to be screwing The Sandman's daughter, but now he's dating Satan's little girl. There's about 7 in the crew, all friends who hang out. But the apocalypse come early and they all have to try and sober up long enough to stop it.
Muddy - - Interesting. Ghola said the same thing about the use of the "The's" in the title.
Czwij - - I have to use my full name - Brian Fatah Steele - because there's a stuntman/creature actor in Hollywood named Brian Steele. He was in stuff like Underworld, Hellboy, and the Blade Trilogy.
Shadow - - I shall buy it. Also, yeah... same chick did the art from "Paper Cuts" who did "G&W."
Cyrus & McCallum - - No, I didn't go with BookSurge. I choose to stray from XLibris, however; their just too expensive and far too slow. The company I'm with now is insanely cheap, far greater financial returns, and complete creative control.

it never became 'cool to hate on you'
saying things like that is just more of the same drama queen act that caused certain people to poke at you in the first place. you brought something that happened on pulsehead over here, tried to drag bamf and me into it based only on the fact that we both talk to hadley, and then acted surprised that there was a negative reaction to you behaving like an angsty loudmouthed teenager.
your whole intro to this post is just more of the same shit.
you get -2DIES from people when you post garbage, just like anybody else. when you post fiction, people rated it fairly. except muddy (for a little while after your initial explosion) and we all know he's a big penis, so it's not like he counts anyway.
drop the idea that you're persecuted. it's ugly to look at and it will colour the way people look at you, and the things you post, and the way they rate those things. quit banging on that drum and move on, because nobody cares about it or speaks about it unless and until YOU bring it up.
congrats on the books.

Congratulations.
Having had to publish in academic journals and felt the pain, I imagine getting a book published must be like giving birth. I googled one of your titles and found http://antius777.9k.com/ Is Booksurge the publisher? I hope you got a good deal from them. I'd be curious to hear more about that but umderstand if you don' want to share those details.
To answer GSquid, below, book and journal titles are most properly italicized, but if you are a luddite without word processing titles may be underlined.

Dude - that website is atrocious (i.e., unreadable). You need to change the color scheme and get a new pic.

I like your style, and a lot of your work. Only thing is I'm not a big horror fan; it's just kinda boring. Every think of breaking out from a singular genre? You're a bit of a funny fucker at times when you're more casual, even in ratings, so why not use that more? You're the author so a story should have your voice and if that happens to have occasions of humor go for it. I like you but think you need to inject your writing with a little more comedy, even dark comedy.
