Mankind will take a step forward when it stops romanticizing ridiculous shit like this. But i dont ever see it happening. Humans are going to grind their gears on the same 5 subject matters until the end of time, never learning anything, never realizing anything, never moving past the basic. But it wont matter, because there will always be a fresh crop of new humans to pick up being miserable and spinning their wheels right where the last generation left off.
So lesson learned is: if you are going to write a song, poem, story, book, or movie, just make it about heroin and youll get ten times the attention from the public. Even if the story or writing is talentless. In fact, you could probably slack off quite a bit in your skill, and just rely on controversial subject matter to bail you out. You might get like... who knows... 5 guys out there out of 10000 that see through you and call you on being a hack, but the rest of the people will call you a genius and an artist. Why waste time trying to tell a great story when you can just be like "drugs blah blah blah, murder blah blah blah, more drugs blah blah" and cash in? Edgy subject matter is a piss poor substitute for strong writing. Piss. Poor.
"I am so much better than everyone and I will make sure everyone on this forum knows. In fact...5 out of 10000000 people are cool....and yes, I am one of them."
Do everyone a favor and never hit 500 posts.
Onto the read. Good stuff! It is always interesting to hear about this part of our world. This guy was smart and got out before it ruined his life. What he did was still against the law...and he should be in jail...but still very interesting read.

Meh, he has a point in that some subjects are given more attention than others. On the other hand, who would read the glorious adventures of your neigbour's cat?
Btw, thought it was not bad written at all and a good read in general
The thread reminds me of this book that i read recently. Mr Nasty. very similar to this.

Whoa, I read through the whole thing. IT's an amazing story and well written.
|
enjoyable, entertaining read, although i doubt it's anything but fiction. its got some very convenient plot elements.
|
hm, that story is all over the webs now.
|
This a true story, because if it is, it is amazing. I would re-read it anytime without a thought 
|
Holy shit man, awesome story

Edgy subject matter is a piss poor substitute for strong writing. Piss. Poor. Lol dude, you're an asshole. Real or not, does it matter? It is consistent enough that a scenario like this could happen. It is comforting to think that it's merely a fiction though, since it paints a nasty picture of our society. Meh, he has a point in that some subjects are given more attention than others.

The story could just as much be real as it could be fake. We can call it the Shrodinger story. It feels comforting to consider it as false, since it has a lot of nasty stuff going on in it. Then again, it could be a Litterature student that wrote a false story of his past as a challenge.

This story is good. Definitely makes you think about how different peoples lives are from your own.
|
The writing style and cliches are a little cringe-worthy but it was entertaining fiction.
|
Solid read. Possibly fake but so is just about any good story you hear these days...
|
"Base on true story" is good enough for me.

Lol.. I was the maker of the first thread anyways. I'm re-posting this because I don't think it got the love it deserved.
|
If true, this is a pretty awesome story.
one billion trillion e-sports dollars to anyone who can verify this.
|
Ah, great read. Although I'm still unsure whether the author was truly a "hero" or not. He was neither entirely a hero nor entirely an antihero so... Hmm.
|
Clearly fiction, however still a great read. Well done whoever wrote this.

Gotta keep up on my sc news.

I remember reading this fairy tale some time ago.
Good writer, good imagination - that was the general conclusion.
|
Great story, WOW. Are there any other stories like this? I remember the prison story which kinda reminded me of this and I love this kinda thing.
