/lit/ - Literature

Tundra and Hypersphere? They are a collection of works from various users on this board.

This one will be the same, but I'm going to be making sure that it isn't a complete pile of shit that people will want to get in on just because they weren't part of Hypersphere after it gained popularity on /r/4chan.

I'm not making this with plans to make another huge book filled with memes, since one was just published.

It's just a small project that I'd like to work on with other anons on here that we can take seriously, while still have some fun. I'm going to take precautions to make sure that reddit doesn't fill it up with what they think are funny memes, and so that we can actually have a comprehensible narrative.

Hmm, you know what anon, this could be a very good idea, voting on the work added to maintain a standard of quality based on the majority's opinion.

If /lit/ likes the idea, then we could work with it.

>>7555406
Short story collection has been chosen as the type of text that the project will be.

I just put them in the order of the time they were suggested, the list doesn't mean that one person is better than the other, anon.

Nobody suggested Chomsky, and I seem to have forgotten to add Zizek to the list, but he's in the strawpoll.

I'm not Bottles, f͏͏a͏͏m.

Alright guys! So, the voting seems to be in favor of topic number two, which is:

2. "Pick one figure, real or fictional, whom we all admire, and write a collection of short stories some how revolving around that figure, tying it together in a single round of editing at the end. The stories don't even have to feature that figure as a character per se, just be related to the figure even tangentially. i'm thinking something like Tarantino's Pulp Fiction, different tales of the same people, strung together in time.

So, yeah, we have a topic now! But seeing as it's this one, before we can start working on this properly, we will need to choose the person we want to talk about. I will now list the suggestions people made:

>Nick Land
>Donald Trump
>Bane
>NEETs attempting suicide
>Anonymous
>David Foster Wallace
>Tao Lin

Here's a strawpoll to make the voting easier: http://strawpoll.me/6476027

And, right above me, and anon suggested we could have a pair, or trio. I don't know how I can make that voting work with strawpoll, so if you want that, just say it on here.

Just in case, didn't mean to offend you or anything anon. If I did, I apologize.

The first one is:

2. "Pick one figure, real or fictional, whom we all admire, and write a collection of short stories some how revolving around that figure, tying it together in a single round of editing at the end. The stories don't even have to feature that figure as a character per se, just be related to the figure even tangentially. i'm thinking something like Tarantino's Pulp Fiction, different tales of the same people, strung together in time.

And the second one is:

4. "I think /lit/ should unironically write a stream-of-consciousness super hero novel. Our protagonist would be a mild mannered philosophy student that is on a journey to find himself on a study abroad trip during his 3rd semester of university. He is studying at Universität Köln and feels a higher calling when he witnesses the influx of refugees.
He vows to use prose and logic to combat the inequality in the lifestyles of Middle Easterners, but little does he know, the shifting political climate in the west will soon create a paradigm shift that forces his hand in unexpected ways."

Nah, I'm just messing with you. What part of India do you live in?

I speak Arabic and English fluently, but I can't read or write in Arabic.

POO

Yeah, f͏͏a͏͏m, are you?

The first Australia here, favorite writer is Melville.

There is no good literature from Australia.

Alright guys, I'm back. So, the voting seems to be in favor of Suggestion NUMBER TWO over NUMBER FOUR, and it's been 11 hours since the voting started. Should we wait a little longer, or is this the topic you guys want?

Here's the strawpoll, to save you time looking for it earlier in the thread.

http://strawpoll.me/6471610

Okay guys, I'm heading off now, so I'll approve any additions/changes made to the doc once I'm back on.

We've got a poll for which topic to decide, it's between two choices now, here's the link to the poll: http://strawpoll.me/6471610

Again, you'll notice that the second option is "Suggestion Number One", like the idiot I am, I rushed it and didn't notice the mistake. It's supposed to be "Suggestion Number Four".

Also, as you may notice, I've got a tripcode now, to make it easier to identify myself for later in this thread and future threads. We'll also need a title, can't make a book without a title!

And one last thing, I'd like to thank you guys for showing interest in this small project, it won't reach Hypersphere levels, and I never intended it to, just something light that we can work on together and we're making good progress so far.
