Fuuuuck you lulu, trying to posthumously sabotage steel!

I got this, too. Twice. What did I do wrong? I want to order this.

I think it's great you decided to join this forum and send us a message I've always loved reading Amark's writings and really appreciate your efforts to try and get them out into the world. As for the other things you say you have from him, I think you should decide for yourselves whether he would have wanted them to be shown to the rest of the world. I respect him very much and would definitely not want to step on his privacy for the sake of curiosity.

Thanks for your work and for keeping us up-to-date.

i agree completely with this. we all loved amark and had a huge amount of respect for him. i really loved what i saw of his writings and am obviously very eager to get this book, and really do appreciate your efforts.

wow, this is amazing. that's all i really have to say about it atm!

Wow, I've read the first few pages that were on preview and yeah, dude's gone way too soon. He was such an amazing writer.
You can be sure that I will get this, it's like a part of his legacy to this world or something. I was too stupid back when he was alive to listen to him, maybe through this book I can learn from one of the best guy I never met.

This is a great way to appreciate who he was and to really see into his perspective on things. Does anyone know if some of his posts are included? Some of the stories sound like his posts but I'm unclear as to where they came from.

We should publish a book of Steel's old articles on the blog. He had a lot of really good college ones.

Hey, I just received it a few minutes ago! 7 days after ordering is better than I expected (I got Ground shipping for $9.99)!

Here are the titles of the stories/writings, since the preview doesn't show most of them:

Chapter 1: (No Title)
Chapter 2: Chocolate chip Tookie Williams
Chapter 3: HoLLa 2 My GuRlZ
Chapter 4: HE IS COMEP
Chapter 5: Cat the fackin chese...
Chapter 6: I'm sorry
Chapter 7: The House of Spirits is full of ghasts....watch out for the ghast
Chapter 8: HAVE YOU SEEN MY ANIME?
Chapter 9: bleah bleah BOOK barf
Chapter 10: I Am Bruce Genitals.
Chapter 11: FRACKIN Mexican...
Co-Author's Note

Chapters 9 is by far the longest (~18 pages)

I haven't had time to do more than skim over it, but it looks fantastic. I see a bunch of references to Bruce Genitals in a couple of the stories, a couple pages of playwriting mixed in. Mostly though, it is written very professionally (which the titles don't completely reflect...). Not at all the spelling/grammatical disregard we've come to expect based on his rants and posts. I'm very very excited to read it.


EDIT: I was mistaken. It seems the whole book is a continuous "story" of sorts. These aren't just random short stories. I'm not sure if he was inspired by it, but it sort of follows a "House of Leaves"-esque storytelling of another person's "notes"

EDIT2: OK. I need to read more of this before I jump to conclusions. I think the stories are still written in the voice of a single narrator. I think. Just thought I'd clarify that this comment:

from the looks of the preview it's a collection of writings he was working on and things like journal entries, etc.

does not seem to be true. The characters in these stories are linked. It doesn't seem as autobiographical as a journal entry would be.

I got an email yesterday that mine had shipped. Excited.

me too and I can't wait to read it when I get home

my man steel, always leaving those little puzzles behind for us to figure out.

This is great! I'm getting this for sure and looking forward to reading. It still feels weird to me, knowing that the dude that would make all these huge fantastic posts isn't around anymore to tell us whats on his mind... If you can get more of his writings like you said that would just be awesome. I've told some people I know about Amark and how he meant much to all you guys and me as well, they don't understand the whole GW thing but they seem caring and interested. They can't experience him like we did, but this book could really show them how much of a great person he truly was.

Incidentally, has anyone succeeded in buying/getting the book?

Yeah, if you look a few posts above, I received the book yesterday. Thank you for putting it together! I love it so far. And if you have trouble compiling the rest of his writing into novels, I'm sure a lot of people here would be thrilled even if you just released them in crude e-file format here.

hey, couldn't you and drule just make a seperate page for his work and have the stuff distributed via GW until his sis and steve can get something solid going? it could be done through a web page and paypal right? or am I wrong about that?
