the title's terrible, that's for sure, but ive gotta think of something better. I was a bit worried i was toeing the line on pop-culture references so ill go through and see which ones don't hold up-- i try not to overdo those, because i know its the fucking worst when people go overkill with them. also, i'll definitely double check some of that word choice, thanks
I can see where it could get patchy, i might have taken the tedium to an extreme at points. I'm glad you dug the ending, though-- I was unsure if it was too abrupt or not, I liked it in concept but i wasn't sure if i quite stuck the landing. I feel like the whole 3rd quarter, i guess, though, needs work-- basically, the stuff with the Sealand Defilers up til towards the end i guess is what i feel lags, but I'm not sure. All my recent edits/reads have been kind of rushed, so I want to take spring break to fix the problematic shit in there. after the most recent of these edit sessions, I was a bit drunk and decided to submit this to TAR, but it was a few days late so thankfully I dont think itl make it in for this issue and I'll have a chance to fix it more. If you're reading this Prole, please don't put me in this month.

as far as footnotes, since it seems like >>3514872 and >>3514580 have differing views on the use, i guess i should clarify that most of the footnotes were originally in the main story, and i decided to use footnotes because I felt like this info was important, but it interfered with the flow of the story when it remained in the main body of the story. After that, i did add some footnotes that werent there, so i could see those ones being a bit of overkill, and ill take a look at them

if its any consolation, I'm a shitty dude so you can still hate it/me with impunity. really though thank you so much, im so glad you enjoyed it-- shit, i'm just flattered all you guys even took the time to read this

Hey /lit/, let's get an IRC room going and discuss/share your work and what youre reading and such

change the room to #litboard

bring whatever, should be fun

I almost exclusively purchase new books now.

Rather expensive, I know, but having a collection of books is a recent development for me and it's something I've grown to love. Knowing that I regularly have new books coming in the mail has made the endless drudgery that is my life slightly more bearable.

Are there any literary movements you dismiss entirely, /lit/?

Do you have a good reason for this hatred?
