🐮 Lolcow Timothy "TJ" Church / Cowlick - Failed Literotica Writer &/or Null's Best Friend

[cityofcaterpillar]

Well he's such an authority on himself that when he says he himself didn't do something, we have to all take his word at face value (see also: counting).
I don't know what the issue is. He's clearly such an erudite auteur and cunning linguist to boot that his style is most distinctive. Good thing another forum's moderators did all the work for us already.

good god
tj made 150+ socks just for that forum.

at least now no one can say he isn't dedicated.

 

[The Knife]

Holy fucking shit he's persistent. He is NOT going to give up his attack here is he?

We can only hope that he becomes so exhausted by his busy schedule of writing, editing, submissions, and deadlines that he just doesn't have time for us anymore.

describes in vivid detail every reason why tj is a lolcow. recommended reading for all members of the tjchurch congregation

I didnt want to repost the same link but it's the best example I've seen on tj's behavior and didnt want it to go unnoticed, also a bit too long to post in thread

apparently he knows enough to 'hack' certain parts of that particular site, tread carefully kiwis

My understanding was that the CHYOO site's coding was extremely outdated, even from looking at it. All he probably had to do was try out specific URLs.

It's really interesting to me when "artists" try and speak with some measure of authority on their stuff being good or not. I can see engineers having egos. They can quantitatively measure the performance of their works. Art, by nature, generates opinions. You can't tell someone to have a certain opinion. To take something qualitative and say "this is good, and if you don't agree then you are stupid" is not only the sign of a great ego but I suspect it's also the sign of a bad artist. (Or bad autist.)

 

[The Dude]

Literotica has purged all his old accounts, including any stories he might have posted. He has one active account that he uses to post to the collaborative fic threads. None of his contributions are batshit enough to be of much interest.

Correction: He seems to have one account he uses for stories and another he uses to post to the forums.

His "About Me" section contains some gems, though:

Oh great, he's like Chris creating sexualized "art" so he doesn't "do something illegal" i.e. rape and molestation. What is it with lolcows being perverts?

Also, to create art that is not very good in so many people's opinions, and to just keep on doing what you're doing without even trying to better yourself as a writer so as to possibly change those opinions, but to just dismiss literal multitudes of opinions as "wrong" because they don't line up with yours. I'm one of the few people that also knew about TJ before this thread blew up, and that was always the part that really stood out to me, he's alluded to the fact that his opinion is the only opinion that matters in other specified contexts, but I think he believes it in the context of his writing, as well. I always wondered what might happen if he actually did publish a novel of some sort, since even really good authors usually get at least some criticism.

I feel a sort of surprise that publishers don't publish him out of irony. I'm surprised corporate bigwigs or whoever don't try to market people who act out in their behavior. Well, they do, but reality television just isn't the same.

 

[Lelbron]

So we can expect to see TJ at roughly the same time, almost daily for the foreseeable future?

This is better than late-night television.

I found this quote from a post he made and quickly deleted over at the literotica thread that someone managed to save before it got deleted:

Your claims about me are completely true even though I say they're false, whereas my claims of you being foolish & stupid are untrue, & disproven every time you post. But I'll continue saying all this until you get in my corner. Then I'll say you're second in every way to me, even though I'm dead last in everything & everyone knows they're better than me anyway! So stop enforcing the rules so I can kiss your ass! I don't care if vBulletin says I'm not allowed to behave like this until then! I already told you that making me follow the rules isn't fair!

He's an inspirational author.

Following the conditions of the deal cannot be a condition of the deal itself.

[Hawker Hurricane]

And so reasonable, too.

Why should older rulings about me continue?! Who would agree to be watched like any other user on the site?! Who would be forced to follow the conditions of a deal?! Making me follow the rules isn't fair!

Wow, it's like... that's the only way he knows how to reply to anything. I'm going through that stage. The one I went through when I first saw Chris, or when I heard the Golden Knight's derpy voice. I'm feeling a bit guilty, because it's clear as day now that T.J Church is an exceptional individual.

'Boy has problems.

Fap stories are serious business.

The train wreck thing isn't as popular in written works as it is with television. With his ego, though, I'm really surprised that he hasn't self-published. It's not that expensive to get a small print run done at a vanity press, and selling e-books on Amazon is even cheaper.

TJ has said in various blog posts that he is working on various writing projects, he repeatedly references an autobiography, and at one point he brought up a fiction book that started with the main character "reading another fictional account, & feeling he wasted his time in reading it", but he's never really elaborated how he intends to publish these.

That autobiography is now at the top of my list of books I want to read.

This guy is the poster [man]child of the Dunning-Kruger effect. Particularly in the realm of aspiring authors (and I use that term loosely here).

It's like dealing with a spoiled child making demands and throwing a fit right away because they want something, rather than asking nicely. They lose any chance of getting what they wanted in the first place because they had a very unnecessary tantrum, but when you point out the nice way to ask for something, they think that they can follow up immediately with an insincere request in that manner. Then they throw another fit because they "did it right" but aren't reaping the benefits.

One can examine something as public as his account's posting times on Literotica (which is obsessive according to him) to note that Mondays are less busy than Fridays, and his two peak times of day are 3pm and 11pm ET. According to his blog titles, he apparently works on them intermittently, but typically finishes them very late at night, or rather, early in the morning.

Another thing I noticed (and I'm sure you might have as well) is he seems to respond well to lists, or things he can separate easily and choose to respond to on his own terms. There were a lot of tedious diatribes where he separates others' posts into multiple quotes and provide snippy comebacks. And then they would do the same, and he'd reply in kind, until it felt like he was replying to seventeen different things in one post. This tends to be his most productive writing.

So do you think we should compile a list of questions for him to attempt to reply to?

He seems to chimp out a lot more when everyones firing at him all at once. Not that I'm saying that's not entertaining, just it would be nice to have some more info about the real TJ.
