That's all? Trust me, I'm sure I've posted stuff a lot more inflammatory. Then again, the inhuman who runs Fakebook is in Trump's thrall these days.

After all that time, I would imagine you could renew your association with Fakebook... if you so chose to.

They censored Michelangelo's David! For nudity.
Ten years earlier, the algorithm was fine: seek and destroy even works backwards.
I even explained that a copyist at the Prada Museum (Spain) was an artist with world exhibitions.
But they didn't readmit him.
Millions of people go to see it every year.
They must be shocked by the images: among other things, they were thematic paintings *Against violence against women.
They hacked my profile and asked me to send them the documents.
What do I do? I send them to the hacker who thanks me...
You go online and Zuckie, Zuckie has Facebook and WhatsApp. He controls messages through algorithms, he even admitted it.
But are you okay with this?
Was it like this before or was there freedom?
Regarding vaccines and everything in Italy, they ban you or close your channels everywhere if you give your opinion. Top-level doctors.
If I write here, it's okay. They won't allow anything on a forum in Italy.
I find myself with three thousand posts that have vanished into thin air. Replies were given by me, who hasn't written there since 2018.
I've never been sanctioned in my life.
I'm not banned of any kind: they don't allow me to log in.
I email the person managing it and they get no response.
They change and modify my posts.
They were very well written and of high quality.
And very short: Some are long on my threads.
Freedom at risk in Italy.
If you protest, even 12-year-olds get beaten.
Nazi-like stuff

My wife's profile had been hacked more than once, with Fakebook accusing her of showing pornography. Finally, she just stopped posting altogether.
^^
Hi.
It was a lame excuse.
Because it's forbidden and you could still get into serious legal trouble.
In my case, the scam was just a hacked profile. Give me your documents and we'll see what to do.
Answer: What do I do? Give the hacker my documents too?
I did the same.
I haven't written anything else.
Oddly enough, shortly before, I had refused to increase my number of paid followers.
I think I had almost 5,000.
To make money on content: my content was art, music, reviews, photography.
They were probably interested.
But I said no, and that's when the phantom hack began.
I checked the world art I posted extremely carefully and never broke the rules.
And they were from important museums.
I had seen some of them in person.
Like the one in Florence's Uffizi Gallery, where you can find Raffaèllo sanzio ,Leonardo da Vinci, Filippo and Filippino Lippi, and thousands of original paintings.
Caravaggio (Michelangelo Merisi)

Foreign artists, too.
Caravagio (Michelangelo Merisi)
I reviewed everything I posted.
But just one example.
Then if you create internal reviews for the site, fine.
But Zuckerberg can't make them retroactive to years before.
Because it's like witch hunts and the Holy Inquisition.
How do you defend yourself?
Are you writing to a friendly algorithm?
Once upon a time, you could write a defense: I was always right about that post.
I reviewed everything I posted.
But just one example.
An article on why debut novels fail to launch

Chuck Palahniuk's first published novel, Fight Club, had actually been his second attempt at getting published. His first try with Invisible Monsters only met with rejection. Only after his literary success did it see publication.

Another question: Does anyone know of any successful writers who have or have been suspected to have Asperger's Syndrome?
Probably all of them, because it seems to now be believed by autistic people that NTs don't hold the capability to focus and produce good art. Lol
As a writer myself (well, just as a hobby, for now) I find it hard to write about factual events in stories, but I can assume emotions felt by the characters very well, even if I've never been in their shoes before. But the facts are harder to assume and it requires careful research, which usually I'm not very good at, but because I'm utterly obsessed with what I'm writing right now, I don't mind searching every detail about him.

That reminds me that I need to read something else by him one day. He is a very captivating long form interviewee. He has an amazingly traumatic and interesting backstory.

I have no idea what to call this one, but it's a female-led Western that I'm almost done writing that I've been writing for the past several months.
Premise: Set several years after the end of the Civil War, one day, a beautiful mysterious woman rides into a Union town still recovering from it. After checking in at an inn, she reveals herself to be a schoolteacher becoming a surprise hit with the town's children with intrigue growing over the course of the story ranging from because she hardly talks about her background, particularly in a scene where she's in a saloon minding her own business as a small group of suitors approach her to try to win her, but they're all turned down by her with six words spoken by her: "Superficial men are not for me."
She performs random acts of kindness sometimes contradicting herself using violence as a "last resort", so to speak. In one scene, she witnesses a timid general store employee being harassed by a group of rowdy customers. She defends the employee by punching the lead perp very hard in the face causing his nose to bleed. In another scene, she visits the home of a hard-of-hearing child and gives the parents resources related to learning ASL declaring no one should be a social outcast.
Where is this woman from? How does she travel alone with such skill that she's never viewed as a type who would break laws? How is she so intelligent?

I know of ways to convince the reader. My story is supposed to be sad, especially at the end, but I've thrown in some dry humour too, as that often gets the reader to connect with the characters and be unexpecting of the sad ending. It has an unexpected gory death in it but it still isn't meant to be creepy. It's designed to make the reader feel very sad.
When I'm writing a creepypasta, I find death the best thing to center it around, but death can be sad and I don't want my creepypasta to be sad. So I try to write in a death that is supposed to give the reader the creeps, not make them feel sad. One of my creepypastas was about an old woman who died in her chair. While that sounds sad, it actually was more creepy, designed to give the reader the creeps. She sits in her armchair with a cup of tea and watches the TV and just passes away in the chair. But the story is about what happens after a person has died alone with nobody knowing or really caring, and how the body deteriorates, how the TV is still left on for weeks until the electricity gets switched off due to the bills not being paid. And it goes on like that, all these things happening around this decaying body. It was even creepy writing it.
Often a death of a character is less sad if it happens at the beginning of the book or movie, because the reader hasn't got a chance to get to know the character. If you have managed to influence the reader's emotional reaction to your story then you have done it right.

I'm all done writing this!
Now, just like the previous two, I am going to mail this to the US Copyright Office
behind the backs of my family.

Does anyone here feel you rush your stories too quick, so you tell yourself to take more time on each chapter and spend ages writing it, and when you feel you've definitely longed it out enough you read it and it still feels rushed?
I guess it's my ADHD coming out lol, I do badly want to jump on to the next chapter. In fact it's like I want to write several chapters all at the same time.
On another topic...
I've had to fictionalise Stephen Foster's life in my story a bit because I know he didn't perform his music in front of lots of people but I still made him do it in the story, to make it more interesting, as it'd be a bit boring if it's just about him locked away in a room just writing the songs. I need him to be more out and about, performing and stuff.

Wow, my story is a bit emotionally intense. Lots of love, hate, anger, sadness, death.
