My eBook "Pressed Between the Pages" (poems & short stories)

[hellosmil]

ur really stupid

[shaylaluna]

Clearly your inability to tell your typing with a keyboard and not a phone is what is making you stupid!

[Joekins89]

lol Buck's contributions to your videos are cool and the Vlog Brothers

[charlottepoet]

i would so love to have alan send some of his work to my lit mag *sigh*

user name shapeofabox for the lit mag, tell him to send stuff to me!

[chudleycannonfodder]

As someone with horrible lighting, I appreaciated the joke John.

[livin4hymn]

just read it. good stuff!

[pkalvyn]

im an AV Nerd so I Totally got the lighting joke ;)

[cycoG]

'actually quite good' .. it sounds like he didnt think you could write

[the5regularguys]

Just downloaded the book. I'll definitely be reading it ASAP.

[spheremaster]

just wanted to say that I once did the paper zine thing which lead to public access which lead to You Tube. if I ever make Partner, maybe I could afford to do paper-zines again. or maybe not. congrats on having a lot of subscribers to it, though, that was something I could never get back in the day...

[therichards2000]

just wanted to say also read the zine and it really is amazingly good!

[zaielle]

i really liked the book although i had to read some parts like 4 times before i understood what it ment, but that is just because english isn't my first language ;p (i kept reading the word 'choir' like 'choice' with an R, and i was like "what the hell does that mean?" until i discovered i pronounced it wrong :P)

[channeIreview]

And now for a meaningful comment. Alan plz upload your video for "She Handed Me Her Diary" to revver and put on your webpage. People should really watch that. Sure your videos get better all the time. But that one rocks.

[channeIreview]

holy crap my new video has only one less comment than this one.

[channeIreview]

That was stupid now I you have two more... oops i mean three more comments than i do.

[bizcakes]

Hey Alan, I downloaded the eBook yesterday and read it tonight, and I was really impressed. I thought it was great, really well done, and I'm really glad you decided to share it with everyone. I hope you keep putting great stuff like that out there! Seriously. Great job.

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks so much bizcakes! I really appreciate you taking the time to read through it.

[siouxcq]

lol, Buck said you were gaaaay.

I will read it as soon as I have a good computer in my possession. <NF3

[fallofautumndistro]

Right after he said I was gay, over nine-thousand fan girls cired themselves to sleep... oh, wait, that was only in my head? Dammit.

[siouxcq]

After I stopped laughing I thought about it and then cried for all of womankind. There was a flood in Gainesville (Jane's Ville).

I miss yooou and I have developed a youtubecrush, too. So, we both have to be online soon to talk about it and just to catch up, really.

[PillowEater23]

woah. i just checked out some of your other vids. and i just read ur eBook. *subscribed*

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks pilloweater!

[BilliLovesMargot]

[fallofautumndistro]

Thank you Mr. Peterson.

[nerimon]

Oh and I am going off to read the eBook now ^_^

[fallofautumndistro]

Hope you enjoy it man. =)

[nerimon]

Buckley saying 'it's kinda gay' is amazing <3

[fallofautumndistro]

Agreed, nerimon. =)

[ldgraceblue]

Loved it, Alan. Great work. I really enjoyed your short stories, particularly the second one. Really hope that this isn't the last of what you share.

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks ldgraceblue, when and if I have more to share, I'm sure I'll do this again, especially after seeing the positive response, I was a little worried about releasing it given the recent haters.

[lisasimpson]

Oh, snap. Looks like I'm gonna have to come over and hang out, so I can snag a real copy for myself!

[fallofautumndistro]

Any time Beccah. Except, like, 4 a.m. ;)

[FroGhandi]

[tlg847]

Congrats on the book, Alan. Sarah bag anything with those bbs?

[fallofautumndistro]

Naw, she was just shooting at the wall. =) Thanks for checking it out Tom.

[Sadsparrow]

Great job Alan, I especially liked Forgiven, the last paragaph there is just brilliant.

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks HappySparrow! I really appreciate you taking the time to read it, and you named my personal fav as your fav so... <3

[JXintheZ]

[BarryAldridge]

Just read it this morning and it is brillant. Well Done Alan.

[TheJayEffect]

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks Jay. You do too, I think. =)

[TheJayEffect]

Haha, Thanks!

So I'm confused, Are you just a partner of do you work for youtube?

[FunnelofFun]

I shall check it out

[speedyconkiwi]

Just finished reading it... and I love it! Short and sweet and interesting and thoughtful and what can I say? I'm a fan ; )

[fallofautumndistro]

Aww, thanks Kiwi. =)

[colormekristen]

That was a really good video! It really made me wanna check it out, so i shall.

[fallofautumndistro]

Hope you enjoy it Kristen. =)

[SuicideFriendly]

Awesome Alan! I can't wait to read it.

Peace

[fallofautumndistro]

Hope you enjoy it SF!

[Karanagi]

I like it. Nothing witty comes to mind, so i'll leave it at that :)

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks.

[fallofautumndistro]

I do have a YouTube crush, but you'll find that out when you catch up on my vids Eddie. ;)

[ProductPlacer]

Maybe you can help Roger write his autobiography when he reopened his account again.

[fallofautumndistro]

I dispatched trucks. And spent time on YouTube making video replies and re-opening accounts. The end.

Where's my check?

[astrophe1987]

Best Bio ever, it will sell millions :P

[fallofautumndistro]

w00t

[mandarific]

Best review vid ever.

Lighting Jokes. YES.

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks for watching Manda!

[channeIreview]

I found John's comments a little offensive, I hope it doesn't cause a huge backlash against the book.

[fallofautumndistro]

Barnes & Nobels has already pulled it from their shelves because of his statement!

[channeIreview]

Alan, I just talked to my friend Lee Tarded and he is so happy to hear about this turn of events. Non-native English speakers really have had enough of libbing they get over the way the pronouce "l" and "r".

[fallofautumndistro]

It's awfully small in file size and hosted on my server, no reason to torrent it really.

[HopeDiamondSS16]

Cool! :) So, is it an official book?? How many pages exactly? :)

[fallofautumndistro]

It's official as in like, you can read it. It's 12 pages long, it's in the format of a zine or chapbook, not really a novel.

[HopeDiamondSS16]

I think I wrote a book. :) If you watch my 5 Facts VLOG, you'll know.

Also, sorry for the delay in my VLOGS I have a legit reason:

[HopeDiamondSS16]

I have the worst luck. Today was my mom's birthday and I got Confirmed. At the party, I knocked over my new Canon. The filter was shattered. The main lense survived with a scratch or 2. The microphone is dented. I'm sorry that I can't make my VLOG today. The VLOG was going to be all about my Confirmation.

[HopeDiamondSS16]

I promise that I will reserve a slot w/ Best Buys. In a week or 2 it should be fixed. If the scratches are minor enough, I might be able to make my 5 facts VLOG.

Sorry for the inconvenience,

Chris Hon

[killert00thbrush]

Wicked. =D

[fallofautumndistro]

Hope you enjoy, killer.

[squirrelygurl]

haha i loved whatthebuck "it was kinda gay" lol!!

[fallofautumndistro]

He was so mean. >:|

[squirrelygurl]

Well what'd you expect? Haha ;)

[johnnysmooth]

Real cool, Alan! I'm very impressed with your writing. I liked them all ('Forgiven' the best) Favorite writers?

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks Johnny! Forgiven is actually the oldest piece in there, but a long time personal fav. My favorite writers include John of course (can't believe he made an appearance), ee cummings, Stephen King and Mark Z. Danielewski.

How about yours?

[johnnysmooth]

yikes! I need to get John's book.  I like Hemingway, Steinbeck, Bukowski, Jules Verne, F. Scott Fitzgerald's short stories, lots of others. I need to read more contemporary authors.

[TheDiamondFactory]

Poetry is for fags

[fallofautumndistro]

Next time watch til the end. Buck beat you to the punch.

[TheDiamondFactory]

I saw the whole thing....it was only 1:14 long. Nice try.....Buck was joking like "ha ha ha it's gay and so am I" kinda thing.  On the other hand, I was being serious, so he didn't really beat me to the punch homo.

[PoliticalAnalysis]

I hate to say it, but Nalts released his ebook a week ago....

It's a sad and sorry bandwagon when Nalts is at the head.

Jus' Kiddin.

[channeIreview]

Danny I have always thought you are very poetic!

[fallofautumndistro]

Haha.

[TheDiamondFactory]

Exactly!

[missbananacheeks]

It was really awesome. My best friend checked it out too she loved it! she also writes poetry and short stories as well! Awesome job Alan! :-)

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks so much Adi! I really appreciate you coming back to leave some feedback. And say thanks to your friend for me as well. =)

[missbananacheeks]

[kteachone]

team john 4-eva!

oh wait. i meant to say yay e-book! great idea.

[fallofautumndistro]

He was so flattering... nothing like your favorite author ever calling your writing "quite good". =)

[kteachone]

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks KT. =)

[missbananacheeks]

I'm going to have to go check this out now! I'm rather excited! :-)

[fallofautumndistro]

Really hope you enjoy it Adi!

[AskCarrieLee]

Shameless self promoting whores! UNITE! Alan, did you get the club ring?

[fallofautumndistro]

I did, and I'm wearing it, you just can't see it because I wasn't on cam. I can self-promote, but I'm not comfortable cam whoring yet...

[Gimmeabreakman]

Coool!

I'd like to see it.

[fallofautumndistro]

Download link is in the video description, hope you enjoy it Victor!

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks Jase, hope you enjoy it!

[jabazzy]

I shall, I LOVE zines. I buy them all the time :) Maybe in the future we can do a zine trade.

[fallofautumndistro]

Totally, I have a split I wrote with Alex Wrekk last fall that I could trade for one of yours!

[jabazzy]

[songsfromahat]

-Adam

[fallofautumndistro]

I can't ride a bike. True story. I fall down every time.

[acheronwalthers]

wow. that's interesting. i couldn't ride a bike till i was like 8, or swim till i was like 10, or tie my shoes till i was like 7.

i was quite a late bloomer it looks like. :]

[CultofNalts]

lol...WhatTheBuck calling your stuff gay. :p

[fallofautumndistro]

He's so mean.

[robtran]

Congratulations, dude, on being an officially published author. And you're a mensch for offering it up as a Creative Commons license.

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks Emley! Glad you got a chance to read it. Your photobooth video was fun to watch... it's a shame there aren't actual photobooths still around everywhere.

[Ziggystarla]

omg i know. it would be amazing! They should be reinstated. or w/e.

[hartnell114]

W...T...B!!

[achampag]

you mean its FREE? you arent WHORING it? how COULD you? how DARE you make something not about money?

=)

[fallofautumndistro]

I guess I didn't read Nalts' book close enough... I thought free was in?

[channeIreview]

achmpag there's a virus attached to the file that skims your credit card information and stuff off your hard drive. Trust me, Alan is gonna make a fortune off this scheme.

[achampag]

lol...thats nice...problem one....i have never HAD a credit card..personal decision made long ago...lol! problem two...i never do any sort of personal shit like that on this pc...no work, no banking, no bills, nothing w my cell...nada. i hope he likes my cd collection..

=)

[speedyconkiwi]

[fallofautumndistro]

It's $5 for you Ben, everyone else gets it free.

[airricksreloaded]

I wanted to do an ebook but I dont even know where to begin LOL

[fallofautumndistro]

Do you write? Like, did you mean that's the problem, or the problem was the technology? I can help with the technology if you wanted. Can't help with your writing skills though, if that's what you were referring to...

[airricksreloaded]

I write poetry and have some short stories as well I just dont know where to begin with publishing etc.. lol

[fallofautumndistro]

Well, if you do want some help, I use Quark for layout and then Acrobat to publish the PDF. Just send me a PM.

[airricksreloaded]

Thanks Alan! I will get with you shortly, on my way to work now. We can talk this week if you have time! =D

[fallofautumndistro]

Yeah, I'm always around, whenever. =)
