/lit/ - Literature

>Creating a random off-topic thread with a .gif and sticking around to read every response
I think I could ask you the same question, OP

Because at least J.K. Rowling knew Europe > USA

Well... I hate atwood. But you could go for Oryx & Crake / Handmaids tale if you want flat dystopia

Alternatively, you could take the gibson and have some fuckyea moments of c-c-c-cyberpunk, but at the same time suffer the curse of the Jamaican cosmonauts, VOODOO ON DA NET, and related bullshit

look at that fucking troll, LOOK AT HIM SMILE WITH THOSE FUCKING GLASSES.

>Walk in /lit/
>See this
okay, who let /x/ in

You're really going about this the wrong way if you read classics exclusively for attention.

But I'm willing to bet most people do this conciously or unconciously at some level.

>My face when you don't know about greenoval

I've always wondered abot kootz. He struck me as a hack even worse than King of trolls and with half the talent.

But then again, I really have no idea beyond preconceptions. Enlighten me, OP?

>Just had a cup of green tea
Instant bro-tier

Nah, I'm just ignorant and using the wrong term. It's a brother typewriter, older and if I had to guess ~70's era. Bought it at a garage sale a few months back, Left it by mistake with my uncle, unfortunately :(

I found myself writing much more often with one. Bah, I need to go buy another ink cartridge

Pros:
>Not distracting like a computer screen
>Typos are really a non-issue because you can't change them in your first draft
>You'll probably be proof-reading your work much more often because the first draft is always typo-ridden

Cons:
>Resource-intensive compared to a computer
>You'll be doing more work formatting new drafts
>no built-in typo checker

/lit/ will call you a hipster, but /lit/ calls virtually anyone on here a hipster. If you feel the benefits are something you're willing to sacrifice time and money for, it's totally worthwhile.

How far are you in? Early chapters are kinda slow.

Personally, I've always been partial to Messiah and God-Emperor. They make everything worthwhile

/lit/ = /shit/
bumping just to piss people off

What is this? Proto-realist reactionface art emerging on 4chan?

Goddamn, it might be worth documenting this evolution

>implying you're not conversing with superior AI constructs

Pacific by alex colville

Probably not. For the record, I never said Mogwai got Kicked_out of /lit/, merely I'd been seeing less of him and figured he'd disappeared

>Armitage III
I made the mistake of watching the OVA. Incoherent as fuck in scene transition.
Wouldn't recommend unless you really want cyberpunk. Although on the other hand it has an awesome OST

I wish I knew. All philosophy dumps, you'd have to ask the trip himself

Arcueid Brunested is the token left-wing hipster. He writes, talks incessently about weed legalization, and is basically the closest thing we'll ever have to a bro on /lit/. He's an older trip and may have died out

Isabelle Huppert is a gay man who generally posts informed opinions and is known for creating fuckyea academic .pdf dumps. He doesn't do that any more, apparently. Avatars as some tard

There are a score of other trips, but they're not notable. Generally the recent history of /lit/ was 1)Period of relative peace 2) Stagolee begins trolling (if you can call 0/10 attempst even that)/spam-posting 3) Mogwai Begins spamming 4) Tybrax and a few more tards gather to support Mogwai in trip drama for maybe a week 5) things slowly going back to usual in the wake of Mogwai

there are dozens more, but these are the majors

Stagolee is the vanquished trip who popularized off-topic spamming. He was basically a good-natured tard-sometimes-troll, but wound up with a horde of follower trips which basically fucked /lit/ up big time. Rumour has it anon located his residence and did the usual telephone harassment routine. He's since disappeared.

Tybrax is a generally nasty tard who seems to have mellowed out over time. Whatever the hell it is, it's known for trolling along with some moments of decency. He's attained some following

Mogwai is an off-topic spammer in the Stagolee tradition who started out a while back, stopped, and then returned with his attempt to force-meme "/lit/", "saged for being unliterary" threads. These were popular and lead to a resurgence of trips. Eventually he seems to have tired or grown weary of anon saging

Quintin is another recent arrival who recognizable for avataring as frolo, and generally creating 9000+ threads in a day. Sometime it's literary, sometimes it's not. He's not terrible at heart

DeepAndEdgy is the czar of hate on /lit/. Egotistical and fairly self-absorbed, he'll generally sage any thread he shows moderate dislike for, and then attempt to insult you at the same time. He is known for an unusally high level of knowledge, but basically just uses it as a means to manipulate anons and flaunt himself
