Help Ben Brooks Buy a New Computer

ben brooks needs a new computer to keep typing.  please donate some money to him.  he wrote FENCES.  that is enough to warrant giving him money.  he also has two more books slated for publication.  if you don’t donate money he may never have the resources to realize his novel about vampires that are good looking teens and have sex with each other.

      glad to see someone else repping no bank account. There’s too much Paypal’ing that goes on in the small press.

      I had to send Scanlon 10 bucks cash in an envelope.

      I was going to bitch here about how we should all receive donations and how the majority of people can’t buy their own computer let alone somebody else’s. Then I saw that this isn’t really “donation” it’s “selling books” which is commendable. I’d help out

      if I had a bank account.

      “he may never have the resources to realize his novel about vampires that are good looking teens and have sex with each other.”

      this is ben brooks’ autobiography?

      (ps. i love ben brooks, if you don’t want to support him then don’t, but if you do then you should. if he starts selling his cum, gallo-style, then i’m in)

      That’s quite a achievement for a young guy like you to get published, what age are you buddy?

      But, yeah Ben man you can’t just get free money when you break a computer or whatever. I mean there are starving kids in Africa who probably need money a little more than you.
      But well done on getting a book published mate, anyway.

      Like Mike, my advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir.

      Sorry to hear about your laptop, dude. You can buy a new Dell Inspiron for under $500. Check their home page. You can probably go onto Ebay and buy a used one for a couple hundred bucks.

      Brandi, sorry to hear about your cat. I’d love to buy you a cheeseburger sometime.

      A good college campus will offer the use of computers. Besides new computers, netbooks especially are cheap, nevrmind what you might find on craigslist or amazon. You could pool the funds in a month or two of part time work.
