First Review

Using my contacts inside the literary world, I have been able to grab a first draft of the forthcoming epic of major proportions by Anya Peters (Wanderingscribe) entitled "Doon the Laneway". As is customery, well known authors are often approached and asked for a comment to add to the book cover and I have also obtained a copy of some of the intial approaches made to authors after they have been sent a review copy of the book. Here are some of the responses that I don't think will be making the cover of Anya's first book. "Anya who?" Stephen King "How did you get this number?" J.K. Rowling "Utter Tosh! ..... My eyes felt like they'd been raped....." Catherine Cookson Maybe with book two then .........
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
Sadly it seems that Anya's nomination in the NewStatesman' s New Media Award 2006 failed to make an impact on the judges. Despite mustering all her talents to pour out her heart and soul in an effort to reach out to others, she was beaten by a site that slags off Tony Blair and a Youth Club of 11-25 year olds. Will this further indication that she has absolutely no talent, thwart our heroine of the laneways in her efforts to get that book foisted on an undeserving public? We can only hope ..........

Anya's car is a classy SILVER METALLIC and not red you twit!

Wanderingego, aren't you giving her and her book MORE publicity with YOUR blog????!!!

If people haven't read her blog, and find yours first - wouldn't they just end up clicking on the link to her blog, satisfying their curiousity as to what your rantings are about and adding to her hit-counter (which is like 1 squillion now)

Congratulations! You've sold another copy! Of Anya's book!

Thanks for your comments guys.
But I think the days of Anya's site getting even a few hundred hits a day are well gone now.
Especially as she has effectively blocked all comments because she couldn't give a shit about the ninnies who gave her the publicity she so blatantly craved in the first place.

And if folks find my little "Site de Homagé" first then so much the better.
They can start with the truth ringing in their ears (eyes?) and view her blog with the obvious anomalies and discrepancies already pointed out.

Oh and alien moron, I didn't use an actual picture of her car and (brace yourself), those weren't the actual fairies and angels that Anya saw dancing aroud her car (I hired them from an agency).
Nor was it the actual laneway.
It's all made up.
Just like her blog.

As someone who constantly sings the praises of her literary skills in the face of mounting evidence to the contrary from the real world (see the reviews by The Friday Project etc.), I can see how easily a person of limited intellect such as yourself would get confused.

Glad to clear it up for you.

Hugssss.....

For old times sake. Let me say.....




Anya we love EVERYTHING you do, even your piss would be like hot sugary tea on a cold day in the Laneway..... We all miss you. Please fill our dull lives with some talk of elves and singing mushrooms and so forth.

Please piss in our pots soon and let us see your golden shower fall from your genito urinary slot of plenty.

From the Nuns of St Potty on the Wold.

Since when has silver been a classy colour?

Is it because Anya has one (supposedly)?

Does your obsequiousness know no bounds?

Do you sit in the window all day humming to yourself and looking out for classy cars or possibly even having an orgasm when you see a classy silver rover?

It's no wonder Anya turned off comments with dipshits like you licking her arse over everything she says or does.

Classy silver.... what a fucking muppet.

I'm really looking forward to reading about how Anya escaped from the misery of her abusive childhood, which might have seemed idyllic and middle class on the surface but which was really filled with sorrow and cruelty. LIke the time Anya wanted a Crystal Ken doll to go with her Barbie Motor Home but got a My Little Pony instead. Then how she struggled with her artistic soul whilst studying law.

It's beautiful, how the human spirit can triumph over such adversity.

wanderingScribe said...

I feel a tear welling up inside at the mere thought of that beautiful prose that will surely flow from the Queen of the Bedsits.

The websites that made it to become New Statesman finalists are on a different level altogether from Anya's insipid self-help misery prose. They're discussing important issues. Homelessness - there's an important issue. Shame that Anya decided to abuse it by choosing this route as a means for self promotion.

In all of this publicity there has been no mention of how people, if they want to help the homeless, can donate to or otherwise support a charity working for this cause.

Just "oh, the poor thing, she had a bad childhood! Boo hoo".

What about suggesting to Harper Collins that they donate some of the profits from the book sales (assuming there will be any once someone finishes ghost writing it and it goes on sale) to Shelter?

wanderingScribe said...

A good point but I myself have a link to SHELTER on my links bar on the right hand side of the page.

I suspect that anya just wanted people to send money via PayPal to herself alone which is why she didn't put any such links.

Send off that suggestion to HarperCollins.

Actually, for a woman supposedly living in a car for eight months, Anya was rather stoic about the whole thing, was she not?

No raging against the system, no anger at the near-impossibility of getting off the streets or analysis of why so many people end up homeless. Just a load of ho-hum, somebody owes me money and now I'm homeless la-di-da airy fairy nonsense. Why, it's almost enough to make you believe she's been making it all up!

Anonymous said...

I saw your link to Shelter and it prompted the comment :)

I will send the idea to Harper Collins and let's see if they respond.

wanderingScribe said...

It's because it was all bollocks aimed at getting a book deal.
Just a shame that the morons at HarperCollins aren't as intelligent as like what I is.

Ho Hum ....

Another post by Wanderingscribe that says bugger all.

It really is a piss poor effort.

Anonymous said...

Two crappy posts...she's very boring.

Anonymous said...

I couldn't really read the posts in their entirety as my eyes kept sliding off the page. Why don't Harper Collins tell her about "paragraphs"? Anyway, she mentions that she has "timed out" as if she were in an internet cafe. Why would she pay for internet cafes now she has a house, when internet access e.g. from BTinternet (they give out free emails you know) is cheaper? And easier? And presumably she must have a computer to write her book on, as it's highly unlikely anyone would write on parchment any more.

Her writing is terrible. Her story is not only obviously made up, it is also wildly inconsistent.
Other than that, I'm a fan.

Came across your blog today, and then went to the Wanderingscribe blog- the genuine one, as it does seem there are several faux wanderingscribe's out there!
While I can appreciate some of your humour, I do happen to think her situation is genuine. It's a shame you are spending your time trying to bring about her downfall, when as proved in my case, what've you've actually done is generated more publicity.
May I suggest you stop being such a bully and get on with living your life. Best of luck!

Anonymous said...

What part of her blog strikes you as genuine my anonymous friend?

wanderingScribe said...

The more people that hear about her the better.
As I've said before (and it was a bloody good read so do feel free to go through the previous posts), if people come to my site and then go onto hers that's fine.

The only snag in finding her site first is that people may think it’s all sugar and sweetness and there are no dissenting voices.
But there are.
Not only gifted amateurs such as myself (even if I do say so) but professional people who think that her outpourings so far are mere pap.

All I'm providing is balance........

I suggest you change your text colour to green, to match your diatribe againt Wandering scribe. What a sad, sad was that "gifted" "amateur" you are- sorry old chap you can't even get your comments published on anyone elses site, let alone a book. Maybe some fresh air would do you some good. Do they let you out at all? Unsupervised?

I was the first person to post as "anonymous" back when the internet was first invented in 1964.
I do hope I don't have to turn comments off to stop someone masqueraderizing as myself.
