I don't think she is dumb enough to file a lawsuit, especially if her son is a lawyer and has any input in this, but I wouldn't mind a Pat W in something like this. Imagine the levels of smugness he would reach if he were to actually win a lawsuit against a stalker child? Years of content guaranteed.

Why would he win? He's said some totally actionable shit. On top of that, she wouldn't even be paying legal fees. About the only possible bad outcome is if it provokes Fatty into a countersuit, since she's said some questionable shit too.

So not only does Pat use the wrong word, he'd still have been wrong even if he used the right word.

That's why this isn't just a typo or a misspelling. It indicates that 1.2 GPA mental retard Patrick Tomlinson literally doesn't even know what the word means, because if you knew what it meant, you'd know how to spell it.

Also the fact he did it repeatedly and no editor caught it says something about the editorial attention paid to his slop. It confirms that even at the height of his "success," his books were just placeholders and got little to no editorial attention. They were just there to fill out the annual catalog.

This is how competent sci-fi writers that I've read have done it. In Jack Campbell's books, his fleets automatically designate one side of the star's equatorial plane as "up" and the other as "down" upon arriving in a new system, while port and starboard are based on turning away from or toward the star. There's moment in one book where the protagonist's fleet enters a binary star system for the first time ever, the protagonist starts giving maneuvering orders, and then someone goes "wait, which star do we use for reference?" and he has to stop and pick one. It's a nifty little scene of the kind that Pat would never think to write.

One of the notable things among the Golden Age authors, Campbell among them, was that they generally had actual competence at the science end of things, at least among the "hard" SF writers like Campbell (who had a degree in physics).

(Also apropos of nothing, goddamn the motherfucking cancel scum who did away with his memorial award.)

Pat wants to be seen as a hard SF writer, despite the fact he's both culturally and scientifically illiterate and pretty goddamn dumb on top of that, and exposes his ignorance whenever he opines on any subject. Hard SF is absolutely the wrong place for him because he's a scientific moron.

She's a lolcow too but at least she has a career, and even if it's a nepo-Hugo, it involves representing at least one award-winning writer.

A lot of hard SF writers wrote hard SF cause they were genuinely fascinated by scientific concepts or were scientists themselves (my favorite example is Dougal Dixon). Rick just wants to be a "hard SF" writer cause he saw the word "hard" and thought it meant macho. To him it's the literary equivalent of a Tap Out tee shirt.

By this point (2020) Pat was already done.
He signed his Tor contracts in 2017. Dropped the steamer Gatecrashers which (at the time) didnt even crack a 1000 sales. Followed it up with part two of his fanfic (Starship Repo) that did half that. Tor told him to cut that shit out and try something else for the last contracted book, which is where "In The Black" comes from.
As you pointed out, Tor were just phoning it in at this point waiting for the contract to complete.

As soon as Gatecrashers flopped, Tor were done, on a regular schedule he would have be signing a new contract around 2018/19 which didn't happen. They overpaid massively for his garbage and cut their losses. Since then he has torpedoed his online image thats its unlikely any big publisher would ever look at him again.

While the funsters didn't help his situation, his career of full time author (that can actually support themselves) was over before they were on the scene.

Happy to see the CNT-FAT Patsona making a comeback, it's one of my favorites. Bet he has a Turner Diaries-type fantasy world where he's the leader of the anti-Trump resistance.

I was about to come to Rick's defense by saying that he never actually claimed to be a hard sci-fi author, but alas:

Tor isn’t coming back, Pat. Might as well finish your book. It’s a blow to the ego to self publish after having a contract but I think this forum alone can guarantee nearly ten whole copies. That’s enough to get a Chubby’s cheesesteak or maybe a small beer at your favorite bar. Come on Pat, get back to writing.

Since when has he ever written hard science fiction? Is he trying to say the Ark is on par with Zanzibar, Andromeda Strain, Leviathan Wakes, Singularity Sky, Death's End, Prelude to Foundation? Even The Humbug Murders sounds like a better series than whatever you tried writing and I think it only ever got one book, but that's still more than what you have. No wonder you told people not to talk about your books. You don't want to held accountable for something of yours worth laughing at since your stand-up routine is shit.

If your book is a murder mystery than that's what it is. It's not historical, it's not a fantasy. You can't even call it urban as from what we've seen it's not gritty enough to be urban.

Yes, child. It takes place on a nuclear engine generation ship, child. I’m sorry you’re so stupid.
