Fran!
It seems you are speaking of the Adventures blog, co-edited by me and M-Ranello. Lately we've had work by ULA poets Chris Robin and Joe Pachinko, and two funny bits by Cry Bloxsome, an Aussie writer. Seems to me this writing has energy and subtance. People can check them out here and decide:
http://www.undergroundliteraryalliance.blogspot.com/
Also, people can see the diverse list of who's been published on that blog here: http://www.literaryrevolution.com/blogography.html
Frantic if you don't like what we're putting up on the Adventures blog, then submit your own work in your real name. All you're offering now is "crap" and "stink" and more "crap," "farts" and "sheesh." That's really helpful, thanks!
Booo! You're still not saying anything worth reading. Silly games and cuteness, tee-hee! :)
The ULA is a struggle towards improving things in the lit-world. If you see that as an "endless fart" then you've got issues.
The underground writers in the ULA are a representative sample of people who are willing to step out of line and work toward success, while maintaining personal and artistic integrity. We've got some great writers that we do our best to promote, because their work is worth sharing with the public, and is in fact better than 95% of what's being pushed by the big pub-houses.
When checking out ULA work don't forget the samples on our website at:
http://www.literaryrevolution.com/ULAsite/writing.html
When criticizing anything always give a quick example of what you think is doing it right.
So, Fran, if you think ULA work is bad, please do the slightest bit of helpful extra work and say what you think is better. In this way you don't even have to say why. I don't ask you to think. I'm not asking for much. Just give examples. It's babysteps for a critic. Try 'em! If you can pull it off, you'll have done more than nearly every anti-ULA wastrel who's posted here. C'mon, I'm rooting for you!
Can you see that just saying we suck is useless? Do you like being useless? I hope not. That would be sad.
Jeff Potter has complained to me privately, in reference to "Frantic," that our anonymous opponents are getting wimpier and wimpier.
To our foes (if there are any not hiding): Do better!
??? And yet you continue reading!
Frantic is Tim Hall.
And Dean Haspiel (Deanhaspiel.com) is his best bud.
Don't buy Dean Haspiel's comics.
