Hey there.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry to msg you out of the blue. Here's the thing.

I wrote a book together with a friend. My boyfriend keeps saying it's crap. I think he's just jealous tho.

He's a big time poster here so I told him I'm going to pick a random guy and ask him, and we ended up betting on it. So go to http://books.zenofeller.com/asylum/asylum_chapter1.html and call it either way. Crap or not.

Thanks.

Poor Inc is going to wake up to a ton of PMs reporting this :)

I Googled first, turns out there has been quite a bit of online campaigning for the novel Asylum over the past year.

Hmmm. also. I haven't clicked any links incase I was ravaged by viruses.

Being ravages by viruses is not something I have to worry too much about. ;) It looks like it's actually some kind of novel.

It's twenty pages. :o I half skimmed the first paragraph and though if it's selling something it's going to take a while to work out what it is. :o

Drawback of not being on DST - gives everyone else (in Eastern Australia) a chance to send him a message about what happened overnight long before he wakes up!

Yes, I got it too. And looked at it - at a quick glance, uninspired!

Hi all,

This has just turned up in my PM box:

"Sorry to msg you out of the blue. Here's the thing.

I wrote a book together with a friend. My boyfriend keeps saying it's crap. I think he's just jealous tho.

He's a big time poster here so I told him I'm going to pick a random guy and ask him, and we ended up betting on it. So go to http://books.zenofeller.com/asylum/asylum_chapter1.html and call it either way. Crap or not.

Thanks."

This came from a new user called JennyK

When I replied to her that I wanted to know who her "big time poster boyfriend" was she reply "No way".

I smell a rat.

Cheers,
Pete'

And me! I opened up the link at work as we have government firewalls that block most cr@p. It just looks like a really amateurish attempt to write an erotic story.
