Well, never fear!

I've thoughtfully attached page 1 from his novel, "Moon People."

WOW!
Is it wrong that apart From everything else Awry with that writing, that what is Bothering me the most is the Random capitalisation?

It's like...anti partial e.e.cummings.

Editted: Actually, it sort of reminds me of the infamous (and strangely hilarious in a car smash kinda way) "My Immortal" fanfiction story - said to be the worst fanfic ever written. Although, arguments still rage about whether it's a huge wind up or...tragically real. I lean towards the satire theory. It nails every cliché (atrocious spelling, inconsistencies, Mary Sue to the Max etc). To be honest, I haven't read much passed the first chapter because...ouch. The above link isn't the original version of the story I "read" but like Dale's classic, the comments on the original were better than the story.
