<2021-09-03T02:05:38.000Z> JSDorn: I have a poem for submission, rather short. I can send it tomorrow to you any way you like.
<2021-09-03T02:10:11.000Z> heidegger14: Hey borther, thanks! You can e-mail tpswritingsubs@protonmail.com 
<2021-09-03T02:10:41.000Z> heidegger14: Be sure to use a sock account. We will only be accepting in-text submissions, so just copy+paste the poem into the e-mail rather than attach a document. 
<2021-09-03T02:33:24.000Z> JSDorn: Excellent. Will do
<2021-09-03T13:08:15.000Z> JSDorn: Can you confirm that email? I got an undeliverable error
<2021-09-03T15:19:14.000Z> heidegger14: Holy fuck I am a retarded -_- thank you so much for catching that, the e-mail is tpswritesubs@protonmail.com
<2021-09-03T16:08:06.000Z> JSDorn: Lol no worries
<2021-09-03T16:09:41.000Z> JSDorn: It's on its way
<2021-09-05T03:33:48.000Z> heidegger14: Hey man, just wanted to give you an update: we've scheduled your poem for Monday, Sep. 13th
<2021-09-05T03:39:19.000Z> JSDorn: Sweet. Is the site up yet?
<2021-09-05T03:40:47.000Z> heidegger14: We're still waiting on our logo to be made (hopefully by this Sunday?) so we can launch the URL publicly. Still in the "hype" phase of building a following, slowly but surely 
<2021-09-05T03:41:29.000Z> heidegger14: Aiming for a full launch on Sep. 12th, with the site being unveiled hopefully by this Monday or Tuesday
<2021-09-05T03:46:36.000Z> JSDorn: Splendid. Very very excited. 
<2021-09-08T01:55:46.000Z> JSDorn: sent you a short story for the writing contest
<2021-09-08T02:10:52.000Z> heidegger14: Fantastic, can't wait to read it! I'll send you a message after reviewing and scheduling. You're a writing machine my brother
<2021-09-08T10:03:43.000Z> JSDorn: You've really helped motivate me bro. I'm so very excited for the launch.
<2021-09-09T16:10:10.000Z> heidegger14: Hey JS, just wanted to let you know that we scheduled your story for Thursday, Sep. 16th. I had to make a few alterations to adhere to Substack's (extremely faggoty) rules, like removing the Jew naming and partially censoring the word tranny. It shouldn't take away too much from the story, and it pained me to do so, but just wanted to let you know 
<2021-09-09T16:42:54.000Z> JSDorn: It's alright. I almost didn't include "jew" myself and as long as the meaning makes sense, using something more original than tranny is probably an improvement
<2021-09-09T16:43:29.000Z> JSDorn: I'm all for creative constraints on writing. Thanks for editing the work for me. Let me know what other rules I should be wary of and I'll work around them as best as I can
<2021-09-09T20:54:32.000Z> heidegger14: I think those should be the only rules - beyond Substack's homosexuality, I think people will really enjoy your piece. You certainly have a talent for writing, they're a joy to read. Thank you for your submissions! 
<2021-09-10T02:01:07.000Z> JSDorn: :)
<2021-09-10T02:01:12.000Z> JSDorn: thanks bro feels good
<2021-09-21T17:50:54.000Z> JSDorn: Hey man do you guys have a word cap on submissions?
<2021-09-21T18:50:08.000Z> heidegger14: No word cap, probably keep it under 5k for article readability - but I'd say between 5k-10k would be the maximum 
<2021-09-21T18:59:48.000Z> JSDorn: Okay. I'm hitting the upper limit but should be under 10k
<2021-09-21T18:59:58.000Z> JSDorn: Though I wouldn't be against splitting it up
<2021-09-21T19:01:06.000Z> heidegger14: We could do a Part 1 and Part 2 on consecutive days, if that's cool with you? Damn I am excited to see what you're cooking up next brother
<2021-09-21T19:02:33.000Z> JSDorn: It's pretty fucking crazy man. Can't wait to send it to you. Planning on finishing it tonight.
<2021-09-21T19:03:40.000Z> heidegger14: Lmao I'm gonna settle in and get /cozy/ to review this one borther 
<2021-09-21T19:31:01.000Z> JSDorn: It's all prompted just from this one picture. It was gonna be shorter but it just ballooned and now it's my Magnum opus. Started it on Friday. https://img.poast.org/4791d29f87c08bc0706e857f14e8b4b1e7cf75019b4d8d7c3313779cb65e4cf1.png
<2021-09-21T20:50:40.000Z> heidegger14: >tfw no bakery gf who wakes up at 4 am to made baguettes with me 
<2021-09-21T22:53:50.000Z> JSDorn: Yeah I tried to bottle that feel and now I'm pushing 9k words and I'm scared I can't stop it.
<2021-09-21T22:54:42.000Z> heidegger14: BROTHER WE WILL MAKE IT A 3 PARTER, DONT LET ANYTHING STOP YOU 
<2021-09-21T22:59:50.000Z> JSDorn: THANK YOU BORTHER
<2021-09-22T00:55:49.000Z> JSDorn: Sent it your way, in current condition. Still not done, but hopefully by the end of this weekend at lastest.
<2021-09-22T14:51:01.000Z> JSDorn: I'm making some serious edits for flow, readability and consistency. I apologize for how rough the version I sent you is. I was a bit too enthusiastic.
<2021-09-22T17:45:12.000Z> heidegger14: No problem, take as much time as you need. I'll review any and everything you send to me borther HH 
<2021-09-22T18:11:45.000Z> JSDorn: Thanks friend. 
<2021-09-24T01:25:09.000Z> JSDorn: It is finished and in your inbox. 12,655 words
<2021-09-24T01:56:47.000Z> heidegger14: HELLLLLLLLLLL YEAHHHHHHHH BROTHER 
<2021-09-24T01:57:28.000Z> heidegger14: We'll probably split it in 2-3 parts in the end. I'm excited to read this
<2021-09-24T02:03:23.000Z> JSDorn: I'm really excited to have you guys read it 
<2021-09-24T12:46:41.000Z> JSDorn: Let me know what you think.
<2021-09-24T16:49:19.000Z> heidegger14: I'll get started this weekend, will I get >tfw no baker gf feels? 
<2021-09-24T16:54:30.000Z> JSDorn: Yes
<2021-09-24T16:55:08.000Z> JSDorn: But I don't think it's as depressing as my last one
<2021-09-26T04:14:10.000Z> heidegger14: I just started reading your story and my heart broke in two when I found out Marie was just a virtual waifu :((((((((
<2021-09-26T04:25:39.000Z> heidegger14: i just want william to go on the beach date with marie ;_; tfw there are over 7,000 virtual marie waifus 
<2021-09-26T04:31:53.000Z> heidegger14: dude this story is brilliant. I really like the world you've built and how you incorporate some of /our memes/ into the story. I'm at the part where William drives manually and goes out into the wilderness right now
<2021-09-26T10:08:25.000Z> JSDorn: Thanks bro. 
<2021-09-27T17:10:34.000Z> JSDorn: Did you have a chance to finish it? Is it good to publish?
<2021-09-27T17:25:17.000Z> heidegger14: Just finished it late last night. Tfw Marie sacrificed herself to save the world from the hyperreality VR shitscape ;_; one of the best parts is when William decides "fuck it" and goes fully fedpost on the Escape Room tower lmao, that man just wanted to save his waifu 
<2021-09-27T17:25:53.000Z> heidegger14: I'm thinking we do a 3-day premiere during the weekend. There's a slot from October 9th, 10th, and 11th that could fit well
<2021-09-27T17:26:26.000Z> heidegger14: This is probably the most high quality fiction piece we have received so a weekend feature would do well. We'll link to each Part within the posts as they get released. 
<2021-09-27T17:28:23.000Z> heidegger14: (4/4) Also, this is something me and Hunter discussed - just like we did with Borzoi, we want to do an interview about creative processes/etc with some of our prolific authors. We were thinking that, if you're interested, you could be the first one we interview? It'd 100% be up to you and you could veto any questions, but we'd focus entirely on writing itself. Still in a vague stage, but just throwing it out there
<2021-09-27T17:31:19.000Z> JSDorn: Wow. Thanks man. That's so awesome. I'm happy to help in any way that would encourage others to write.
<2021-09-27T17:31:29.000Z> JSDorn: So whenever you guys would like to do that I'm game.
<2021-09-27T17:33:37.000Z> heidegger14: Sounds great, we'll be in touch about that in the coming weeks. We hope that seeing one of /ouranons/ churning out great content will inspire others to do the same. But yes, October 9th-11th will be the three part release. tfw no bonzai vr baker gf 
<2021-09-27T17:38:20.000Z> JSDorn: I really hope so. I've tried so many times to write a good story. This is the first one I'm legit proud of. My wife read it, and even though she knows none of our memes at all, she loved it. Compared it to a black mirror episode.
<2021-10-05T01:13:47.000Z> heidegger14: Which color did you get your TPS shirt in? I'm gonna cop one of those this weekend when I get paid
<2021-10-05T02:49:53.000Z> JSDorn: Asphalt I think
<2021-10-05T02:50:09.000Z> JSDorn: I'm gonna wear it under my dress shirt tomorrow. 
<2021-10-05T03:14:50.000Z> heidegger14: Based, I can't decide between asphalt or the heather blue 
<2021-10-05T03:15:01.000Z> heidegger14: So dorn DOES wear shirts
<2021-10-05T10:57:03.000Z> JSDorn: LOL
<2021-10-05T10:57:06.000Z> JSDorn: Yeah
<2021-10-09T10:59:33.000Z> JSDorn: Do me a favor, I made one typo in the story that's gonna bug me. I used the word "rate" where I meant to use "rat". Can you make sure we fix that before we go to print?
<2021-10-09T17:09:40.000Z> heidegger14: Absolutely, no problem. Just had a nigger-tier hibernation sleep and woke up now, so I'll be posting Part 1 up in a little bit. Very excited to unveil your story 
<2021-10-09T17:13:47.000Z> JSDorn: Thanks brother
<2021-10-11T22:26:39.000Z> heidegger14: Great job on your story premiere, it's doing very well and looks like lots of positive comments too. I know I really enjoyed reading it. Nice work! 
<2021-10-11T23:40:02.000Z> JSDorn: Thank you friend. Your support means a lot
<2021-10-11T23:41:22.000Z> JSDorn: Love you guys. Very enthusiastic for the future of TPS
<2021-10-31T04:48:29.000Z> heidegger14: Hey Dorn, me and Hunter wanna run this by you. We're planning two big things next month, namely a NatNoWriMo novel writing boot camp and a step toward physical publication. Would you be alright if we use "By The Light Of Day" as a test balloon for our idea of making publishable, clean PDF's of longform works? Hunter will produce it and we'll e-mail it over to you once it's complete. 
<2021-10-31T10:45:45.000Z> JSDorn: Hey bro. I'd be honored
<2021-10-31T10:54:14.000Z> JSDorn: Fuck I gotta write more
<2021-11-01T04:35:07.000Z> heidegger14: Alright check your Protonmail when you can, Hunter just finished the process. Let us know what you think!
<2021-11-01T11:29:41.000Z> JSDorn: I do want to add I really like the format. It looks clean and professional. 
<2022-01-13T21:15:53.000Z> JSDorn: What if we had a TPS discord?I'd love to have drunken voice chats about stories
<2022-01-13T21:36:28.000Z> heidegger14: That would be awesome lol I think we might look at a TG channel since discord is a bit leaky 
<2022-01-13T21:36:36.000Z> heidegger14: I have an idea for a book club sort of thing that I'm ironing out
<2022-01-13T21:36:52.000Z> heidegger14: Would definitely be easier to do if we had a channel to all gather together in
<2022-01-13T23:46:11.000Z> JSDorn: Nice. TG is a bit barebones. But I'm game for whatever. Think a book club is a good idea.
<2022-02-16T22:16:58.000Z> heidegger14: Hey borther, just wanted to let you know I'll be deleting this account on Friday. I'm gonna make a new one, named after a wrestler, to stay in contact with my bros. HH 
<2022-02-17T01:38:30.000Z> JSDorn: Everything okay bro?
<2022-02-17T01:42:59.000Z> heidegger14: It's all going good, thanks bro. Just keeping my head down and prioritizing some personal stuff. Met some good Poastbros like you so I'll be back in a Randy Savage account to keep in touch 
<2022-02-17T01:55:57.000Z> JSDorn: Okay man. I gotcha. Hope your still gonna stay involved with TPS
<2022-02-17T01:56:45.000Z> heidegger14: Oh hell yeah, TPS will still be going strong. Got some big plans lined up, some collaborations with other art collectives potentially 
<2022-02-17T02:01:49.000Z> JSDorn: Really excited for the future. My story for Myles Sci Fi contest is almost done
<2022-02-17T02:07:26.000Z> heidegger14: SWEET, can't wait to read it! What's the basic premise? 
<2022-02-17T02:20:59.000Z> JSDorn: Wandering knight must decide between love and honor as he seeks to break a curse and defeat a space dragon. Themes include the dehumanization of technology, and power or mercy.
<2022-02-17T02:24:17.000Z> heidegger14: FUUUUUUUUUUCK LETS FUCKIN GO BROTHER sounds beautiful, fucking hate space dragons 
<2022-02-17T02:25:25.000Z> JSDorn: Umlauts story has one two.
<2022-02-17T02:26:06.000Z> JSDorn: I've read his and we have used a lot of similar themes. Some spooky blood memory yamnaya telepathy going on
<2022-02-17T02:28:49.000Z> heidegger14: I'm glad we will establish a dissident sci-fi world of people beating the fuck out of space dragons 
<2022-02-17T02:31:28.000Z> JSDorn: Pretty much. Myles wants a somewhat coherent setting as a foil to pozzed 40k. We can do it
<2022-02-17T13:42:07.000Z> JSDorn: Just wanted to say, even though this isn't goodbye or anything that TPS changed my life and actually got me writing and finishing stuff I'm proud of.
<2022-02-17T18:54:17.000Z> heidegger14: I'm very happy to hear it bro, you're an incredibly talented writer and it's a privilege to have good people like you to work alongside 
<2022-02-17T19:04:58.000Z> JSDorn: Love you man. No matter what, I hope we are always friends
