/lit/ - Literature

I don't want to study for the bar, but I need to.
I want to write, but every time I open a word doc I close it.
I want to change the world, but I don't feel like anything I'll do will help.
I want to sell out, but I'm not sure how.
I want to pay my rent without worrying.
I want her back, but which her I can't remember.
I wish that reflecting on friendships didn't make them deteriorate into sand.
I wish I could remember things. I forget lyrics, and names, and rules.
I flood myself with information and none of it sticks.
I wish I had at least one super power, that would be nice. I could focus on one thing.
My brain keeps pulling me around from subject to subject, craving something new.
I can get mediocre at anything. Give me a sport, or a creative outlet, or an action to do. I can learn it, but soon the diminishing returns make me give up.
I have nothing to show for my life other than six figures of debt and mistakes.
Why can't the apocalypse or something interesting happen.

i want to bring you with me into this swirling ocean of my thoughts and not have to voice them i want them to wash over you and into you and i want you to decide what you think of me after you know all that i am i want to be honest more honest than i could be i want you to want me for everything and if you can’t thats okay i understand but i want you to feel every dream memory and thought I’ve ever had before you decide

and then i want to see you

______ALTERNATE_____

diving into this ocean of thoughts voices turn off floodlights turn on as the simple truth of a person made whole is revealed
something that words can't reveal something impossibly huge yet fundamental a primal fear of an uncountable number not enough time in this world to count it all but it’s so simple it’s so small

What qualifications do you have as an editor?

What are you looking for? Short stories? Flash fiction? Poetry? Essays?

Is this a strictly literary magazine? Is genre ok to submit?

Will you issue form rejections?

Is it ok to submit more than one piece?

Word limit?

Will this be online only? Will you have physical copies?

Who's on your staff? What positions are open?

Why should you expect any better from a chinese cartoon forum?

Well, at least it isn't as cringeworthy as this:

But yes, /lit/ is nothing but constant circlejerking about the very same books from the "sticky canon", troll threads about GRRM and people pretending to have understood Ulysses without even reading it.
