outreach

In Chicago -- getting published in print on demand circles that's not a pay-a-grand to be published and how to effectively do it is appear with 15-18 other authors in an anthology over the years. Some don't see this as part of their vocabulary for some reason, don't see it as meaningful work for others. Getting yourself in print with TheBookPatch.com or Blurb.com are strong examples of this. Some don't understand this at all but in Florida it's cold calling those who are unfortunate. Reaching out to the community in Chicago -- the option is publication and getting the community published. This is very common when you see someone who is trying to get a GoFundMe going want to help them out do a press release and tap a mate who is on WritersCafe.org when they don't have New Media support.
Seems like Florida and Chicago are not on the same page when it comes to definition of this word: outreach , one on the other hand. They see an ISBN and ISSN, such as being on the newsstand the other well it's trying to be more active in the community where they don't see a skillset as a wheelhouse that's useful. Outreach has two different meanings in two locations; and that's a huge factor when horns are getting locked often -- the use of drabble burns out a man and having them disown their published output. That's a sin on their part. The thing about non-profits is how some became published in print was from this and the ISBN that is on The Book Patch and worked with LibreOffice what they have in common. Both are non-profit origins. "You want to outreach, you get published. Don't give someone the drabble output for this to work. Draw out your piece, put a lot of thought into it. Then show me what you can do."

Florida Cheerful

Someone who lives in Florida and pretends nothing cynical happens, always looking for positive news when in Michigan someone was pulling a Betty Crocker crime as in she was making brownies with Exlax. You will known the screen names of those when you see them. Don't let them hear you say the term to their face because they know they're being insulted to the core. This one goes back to back with Florida Baptism as you see them come up together.
What is this? Okay those who expect everyone go around not swearing, speaking of taboos or disowning material that's their most well known -- expecting them to use the word 'dropsies' well sorry that's not me. Those who are the Florida Cheerful you will know it when you see it -- mention The Cabbie Homicide around them or read "Yest Ye Become One" around them and see what happens.

slur war

What is this? It’s wolf ticket level flame war where it’s not the typical flaming but these get unfunny quite fast. It’s a flame war where the flaming gets into ethnic slur territory and borderline hate speech levels. This is when Kealan Patrick Burke and The Cabbie Homicide’s guilty party went at it on twitter -- turned into this; the slurs got progression of nasty. These can really get vicious when Italians nail those who are British when they pick up their slurs in Italian.
Watch it with these -- the author of An Eye In Shadows learning the ethnicity of some detractors will get ugly with flame wars. As few will say and some noted some of the extremely nasty insults on the staff of Hellbound Books when he called one of them "Hitler's Fucktoy" then the leader of the imprint implied he didn't read up on Emmett Till and tried to mock the roster that's The Ethereal Gazette: Issue Five.

Some noticed when the roster was introduced a then rival publisher now admitted the one kept the peace invoked this -- the thing known, a vicious and nasty style of flame war known as a slur war. The mental patient remark the asshole got flagged about 20 times for hate speech alone. Don't invoke slur war with African-Americans or those from the Arab Spring's that's a huge no. You can get in Facebook Jail for 30 days for recalling some of the slurs, they picked up on one in Italian.

Teef

This is the South African equal to the b-word in the states.
A woman who said, "we all plagiarize" on an article the called Pastoral Plagiarism: The Do's and Don'ts was confronted by an outraged An Eye In Shadows guilty party and said, 'no we don't. You don't even know how vile that is in your part of the world. Sê dat ons almal plagiarize. Moenie eers probeer kry gepubliseerde jy onkundig piss-drink teef.." That is pretty vulgar in Afrikaans.

Cancer Snub Scandal

In 2014, six up to as many as 8 Glenbard East Class of 1994 classmates were in a scandal when they learned they snubbed horror author turned Sen. Andrew Ian Dodge. There were several blog entries taking each one of them out The Sloping Companion was a blogger on Wordpress that knew of The Cabbie Homicide's guilty party a year before this was realized. The scandal was starting to unfold on The Glenbard East 20 Year Reunion Facebook group where the organizer realized the gravity of the scandal when Andrew Ian Dodge lost his battle with cancer on August 1, 2014. The highest profile classmate was the one who works for Phillips 66.

The plagiarism of The P 'o D was the last straw as one of them has as many as 3,000 followers on Linkedin. This was the Shadow Dolls Plagiarism Affair too close to home because there were several that were involved and lead to the mistreatment of the roster of The Ethereal Gazette: Issue Five. Then the mistreatment of the publishers who ran him then a few started running with the industry factions, "I am not going to treat you like a classmate, meaning you're not immune to scandal if you say something that causes blowback."
What is this scandal? The one known as Cancer Snub, it was coined by the light blue blog of his own classmates where "Pastor's Spouse", "The Infamy Raines," "Nazi Eyes With A Jesus Smile," "Faustian Bargain" and "The Controversy Of The Classmates" put all of them on the spot and then the Insane Journal location had a longer entry speaking of Lombard. Mutual classmate (hangs out in a larger group known as Voices in my Head) and a cousin egged a piece that became a sleeper on Wattpad. An Eye In Shadows was revised to lampshade the high profile scandal.

The Sloping Companion was completely humiliated by the controversial author as he found a photo of this one's mugshot then flipped him off on camera then uploaded the thing. "Should had spoke up about me being plagiarized you fucking drug dealer." The wife of the subject of that blog entry was saying he was on par to Stephen Glass when she saw that entry. The barbs were critical shots. The scandal was chronicled on new media only. It was blown wide open when An Eye In Shadows was revised in 2014 to keep the integrity of the 2008 revisions using The Chicago Tribune reports from the era to further give historic accuracy. The scandal didn't make it to The Tribune but those who knew about it, they told others don't intervene when other classmates interacted with the roster of The Ethereal Gazette: Issue Five. This was dubbed Cancer Snub Scandal on Classmates.com.

The P 'o D

What the readers affectionately called The Pattern of Diagnosis from The Ethereal Gazette: Issue Five (current ISBN: 978-1-944171-38-4) and Dark Gothic Resurrected: Autumn 2007. Written on Thanxgiving weekend 2006 it became the creative nonfiction outing that's one of the most enduring of the creative nonfiction output of the owner of the light blue blog. It's known as the story Something Awful ganked in 2015-2016 as the factions said nothing about the incident -- dismissing it as a prank.

It's the story that got the roster rounding out Issue Five as it's on a place called TheBookPatch and pinterest pinned. The cover artist was an art student as it rivaled Van Gough with the cover art of this. It plays up in Oak Lawn, Illinois where Luke 10:25-37 plays up in front of the namesake's hospital in 2006. The powerful piece clocks in at 5683 words and held its own with a Pulitzer Award winning journalist who became a TOC mate from the era. The story was written after Harry Potter and The Eagle of Truthiness. It's longer than the jesus-is-saviour website founder's screed against Rod Serling.
Those who read The Ethereal Gazette: Issue Five might not realize the story known by readers as The P 'o D also known as the narrative, The Pattern Of Diagnosis. The outing had been discussed on Quora about "what's the most powerful work of literature one's written."

He discusses this both on the site and on youtube on Christmas Eve 2007.

It attributes to two of his friends and a conversation on the phone with his late relatives at the time in 2006. Both publications of the story are in circulation as it was taken further on Wordpress and Tumblr taking the reader further into the story 8 years later. It could been easy something for Unshackled if it didn't have the instrumental use of strong language. The one piece that would piss off Moral Guardians because of the varied use of profanity throughout. He explains in Quora a story like that is not always about the altar call.

rent-a-badge

Don't call College of DuPage Public Safety this because the campus is big enough to require it's own police force. Wheaton College public safety are known as the equal to a mall cop as they have no firearms. College of DuPage Police are often driving in marked police cars as they're fully armed and trained on the Off Campus Center across the building. They don't call College of DuPage the college of law enforcement for nothing. They were teaching them how to handle cybercrime in 1997, and the webmasters were training them how to bust pedophiles aka Perverted Justice .
The Public Safety at College of DuPage will joke with you but what ever you do, don't call them a rent-a-badge because they will nail you for slandering a police officer. Wheaton College on the other hand, call them what you want over the events of the Hijab Affair They have a fully functioning Police Department and often carrying a glock for their sidearm choice. According to Wikipedia Public Safety at College of DuPage are known as Campus Police.
