If everyone followed the picture's advice, I would have absolutely nothing against religion whatsoever.
You should watch a documentary called "Jesus Camp." I was subjected to the same kind of childhood as the kids in that movie.

Well, son, you just answered your own question.

OP, you have hit on the very reason I love /lit/.

Superior

I would read this if it was written in Homeric verse.

I never have enough time to be that thorough. Usually, though, rejections come from a story simply not grabbing my attention.

I got laid, like, an hour ago.
And no, not for the first time.

I'm a big fan of sci-fi, primarily Philip K. Dick, William Gibson, and H.G. Wells.

To be fair, though, my favorite author is Franz Kafka. Decidedly not sci-fi.

I'm not a writer; I'm an editor. I'm the guy who will be rejecting most of your submissions. Pic related.

This sounds like my kind of book.

It only counts against the limit if you post an image, and saging doesn't stop someone from immediately coming along and bumping.

The Catcher in the Rye

The book version of The Beatles Anthology is a pretty entertaining read.

Um, not exactly. Pic related.

Yeah I should probably clarify that I primarily deal with short stories.

Tachikomas are cute.
For robots.

Who is that cartoonist? I think this is from the same person.

I'm an editor for a literary journal.
Persistence is your friend; I usually reject a submission after reading only the first page.
If the first page made me want to read the second page, I'll continue, and so on until I either reach the end of a page and don't want to keep going, which is a rejection, or finish the story, which usually means I'll put my approval on it for further review by another editor.

Sure is /b/ in here.

Best thread on /lit/ in a while.

Yo Barnes & Noble, I'mma letchu finish, but Jerks !!USHZtxsn4gh had the longest-lasting thread of all TIME.

On a related note...
I don't break anonymity often, but when I do, I post under this.
