Mr. Tomlinson has just threatened Leslie Varney, a female publisher whom he has been attacking on Twitter from behind a block for more than a year, to be sued into poverty with a lawsuit that will presumably be funded by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.
- Mr. Tomlinson's 2021 lawsuit was funded in secret by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, a 501(c)(3) charity, to the tune of $100,000 without the knowledge or consent of their donors or members. They also agreed to pay any sanctions in case he lost (which he did).
- All parties involved signed NDAs so that the general public would never know.
- To this day, SFWA has never acknowledged its funding of the lawsuit, and actively instructs the few people in the know to ignore all inquiries into it.
- Is the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America funding Mr. Tomlinson's lawsuit against the Milwaukee Police? If they are, the general public probably wouldn't know due to their history of funding expensive lawsuits in secret.
- You can use IRS form 3949-A to report SFWA's activity if you reasonably believe that it is illegal for a 501(c)(3) charity to secretly fund frivolous nuisance lawsuits for one of its members.
-
- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal (himself) to a troll.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never shown this video footage during any of his media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergences (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.

Terrible ending to a decent book.
Writes about in detail, children having sex, funster. Not a fan.
Every male from Maine is a pedophile.

Boring nonsense, writes about sex like virgin... the accessible writing style is PFG though
I've read a lot of his work, he can't write endings for shit. The dark tower stinks, it has its moments and the overarching story of how all his books are connected is interesting, but in the last book he has like a full page blurb talking about how shitty the ending is and not to complain if you read it and hate it. Pussy shit.
I like from a Buick 8, hearts in Atlantis, the stand, and more but I feel like this is long enough.

One of the most overrated authors of all time. I respect his radio career more than his writing career. Every single film adaptation of his works where they just do whatever they want like The Running Man, The Shining, or The Mist are far superior to the original stories. I laugh that King hates The Running Man and The Shining. Eat more skunk jerky.
The guy always comes up with some good idea. But his writing is abysmal. And he cannot figure out an ending to save his life. So the stories begin with some exciting premise. Then go nowhere. And end with nothing. You could read the back cover in the store, create your own story and ending in your mind, and save $15 on every single novel he has ever written.
The Mist is a classic example. The premise inspired a million other horror stories including Half Life. But there was no ending to the original novella, so Frank Darabont had to write one himself for the movie, and didn't even bother to consult King at all. He just wrote it himself knowing that King's ending would be dogshit anyways. So why even bother to ask him? And sure enough the ending is now considered an all time classic film ending.

Hack faggot. I hope he has another run-in with a Caravan.
He hated Kubrick's Shining adaptation, which means the film is better than the book. King's own IT remake for TV was dogshit.
It may have been his most successful book, but Tim Curry gets all the credit for bringing it to life.
Maximum Overdrive is his best work. He was geeked out on cocaine the entire time. Cocaine + 80's action = cult classic.

He's a major faggot now but he has a lot of great stuff. His short stories are consistently better than his full novels. Grey Matter. The boogeyman. Apt Pupil which minus the gay stuff had a great premise executed a bit sloppily. Pet Sematary is a great book. I loved The Shining as well. There's a great short story he did called The Jaunt about time travel that is a rare example of him nailing an ending. Dream catcher is one of those books you should read the Wikipedia of if you're up late one night because the premise is so breathtakingly retarded.
I’m reading the dark tower right now and I know what you mean; it’s pretty indulgent. I feel like I need to finish the last four books though
The Stand fucking rules. I got about halfway through the book about the Kennedy assassination and couldn’t finish it.
I’m munchin a hunk of skunk junk!!!!!
Great writer. Faggot of a man.
Hearts in Atlantis is PFG. The movie adaptation from 20+ years ago is dogshit, though.
Imaginative. Comes up with very good premises. Not great at dialogue or endings. Tendency for repetitive plotting and cliched characterizations. Owes a lot to Lovecraft. Possible pedo.

Generally entertaining but comes with a coupla caveats, yeah. Stock characters and themes, some genuinely disturbing shit (and not in a horror way), good at coming up with weird ideas and building suspense but not at wrapping them up. Under The Dome has possibly the worst discrepancy between methodical build-up and crushingly anticlimactic conclusion I've ever seen in a novel.
