Inkpop is a website run by Harper Collins with the intent to attract young adults, and young adult writers. Harper Collins also runs Authonomy, geared to adults. Like Authonomy, the main goal of posting badly-written Twilight rip-offs is to reach the top 5 at the end of each month to have HC review the first 10,000 words of the manuscript. Since the main users of the website are 16 year old girls, the site is full of poetry about how hard it is to be a rich white kid in America.

How it Works

• Books, poems, short stories, and essays can be posted online.

• Each book is ranked by the amount of people who add it to their picks list.

• Each person has a trendsetter rating, based on how fast they can refresh their internet browser so as to be the first person to pick a book.

• In order to reach the top 5, most users have to be popular (the ones who get stuff done on the site and are nice to everyone except for when they're talking about you behind your back through email/facebook) or mass-swappers (people who only care about getting their book into the Top 5 no matter how bad it sucks)

• Harper Collins editors review each book in the top five and give it a vague comment that, with varying degrees of success (depending upon which editor), try to find the one thing that doesn't completely suck.

• The writers then cry to their friends that Harper Collins didn't read the whole thing, when really they did and just couldn't think of anything not incredibly rude to say.

Important People

• Joana

Joana was Inkpop's resident faggot, a former "top five picks" writer, and one of the forum moderators before she had her account deleted. She spends all day touching herself to the Inkpop newsfeed and then talking about the dramas with her groupies because she has no life and needs to fill it up with something. She has been cited as being insanely jealous of one girl's popularity, so far as to become obsessed with anything she does. Given the fact that this section disappeared shortly after it was added, we can safely assume Joana was the one who wrote this article.

Important Books

• Heroes of Destiny

The most epic book ever written, Heroes of Destiny is the story of author Kevin Wong, author of Heroes of Destiny, writing about how he is actually a competent swordsman in the middle ages, or something like it. No one is really sure when it takes place because things like showers and toothbrushes show up. It's basically Don Quixote, except the insane, delusional protagonist is real and is the one writing the book. It is worth noting that the full title is Heroes of Destiny Book I: The Eternal War, which means Kevin Wong, author of Heroes of Destiny, must be working on a sequel.

• Anything by Jessie Di Angelo. Known for having a huge ego and incorrectly labeling things as nonfiction. Oh, and for his minions who bump his threads to high heaven for him.

• In Love With My Brother. Known for being horrendously bad, horrendously hilarious, and just simply horrendous. A good laugh, and a good pick-me-up when you feel your writing is awful. (Which, by the way, it probably is.)

Important Poems

There aren't any, despite the fact that the number of poems outnumber the number of books by...a lot, because most of the site is smart enough to know poetry is gay.

Character Chats

Popular among many users are "character chats," in which they pretend to be people they aren't, much like cosplayers or politicians. They believe the "character chats" help them improve "characters" in their books, so they flood the forums with several thousand of them at once. There is lingering animosity between "character chat"ters and users not bored enough with their lives to join in. Officially, however, the two species are allies and they enjoy civil, if cool, diplomatic relations.

Edit: These character chats have been banished to given their own website to go off and gay it up without bothering the white girls trying to write cutter poetry and talk about how funny penguins are in the forums.

Watch Out!

Despite giving free reign to the members on the site, there are many things you cannot discuss on InkPop without having members getting upset on the forums. Heaven forbid you mention religion as on InkPop GOD IS LOVING AND SEX IS TERRIBLE. Due to the website catering to young adults, open-mindedness is frowned upon as it promotes thinking outside the box. All in all, inkpop is filled with sixteen-year-old girls like every other writing site ever.

ONOEZ THEY'VE FOUND US!

This article has recently come to the attention of members of inkpop and they are demanding that it be taken down. Sources tell us that inkpoppers are horrible at taking jokes. They also don't understand that ED does it for the lulz so pleads to take down the article or attempts to wipe it will fail.
