Proposal : Operation Fifth Column

[Turk February]

If you take a look at associate membership within the SFWA, who ever is behind "Owen A Forrems" has already exceeded it, and many more can do so with minimal effort and minimal spending, as your earning can go into buying the next guys novel, so he can become a member, in an endless daisy chain of fake book sales to get in.

The SFWA has about 2500 members but I doubt many are active enough to vote for awards or actively nominate anyone other than themselves. Conservatively let's say they have 1000 active members. If we get 2 associates in, that's nothinhg but if we get 25 that's a voting block. Get the wives in there, and enlightened kiwis, that is now 10 percent of the SFWA, nominating a short story about a space dog searching for it's lost cum in the void of space for a Nebula prize.

If you think this is an impossible pipe dream, youre absolutely right, so let's start small and see if getting one guy in there is enough to make Pat and Ooga lose their shit.

Access to SWFA suites at conventions seems like a punishment rather than an incentive. It’s a interesting idea though, I’m sure ChatGPT could churn something out and we could easily make $100 in sales.

Best not join sfwa. You might turn into a pedo.

Well if I sell my self published novella to @PickleRickle , he then sells his self published novella to @gassers , and gassers sels his to me, I think we all just became eligible for membership with 0 dollars spent.

Also I have a sneaking suspicion Dan has already tried this, didn't he? Like. I'm starting to remember something and it's making me uneasy.

How much did we make off the fish van incident?

I don't think performance art counts as writing per se. I could ask though.

I know of an agent who may be interested in repping you. Nice gal in the PNW.

I can't go out West. My old school buddy Dan (not Mullen) lives in BC and every time we hang out we get in trouble. I can't risk that, I'm 33 now.

I’m retarded enough to actually think you’re serious. At the very least I’m retarded.

It's always all just a goof until people get on board. Then it's a project.

 

[Niki]

good bit

 

[Safka's Enticer]

Reminder: they let niggers in for free without having to publish anything

Which means at least 30% of us qualify

Project Billboard v2

 

[Brooke Shields]

Do they allow children's books, like 5 and under?

Also obviously Bam should be frontrunner as our real author

 

[DeadWithoutMyDavid]

You could put up a book for $100, buy it yourself, boom you're qualified dude

 

[JoeBrotheChildSpitGuzzler]

They'd probably boot us all if they figured out what we were doing. They did it to a guy who had paid for a lifetime membership. Though in terms of doing it for the good it's promising.
