Hey /lit/ I've been reading too much stylistic shit and it's all my writing ever comes out as. Here is a brief representation of what most of my writing turns out as. Please tell me what you think. BTW, this shit was the beginning of a story I was going to submit for an anime/manga related zine, so please excuse the fact that the whole thing is a shitty anime cliche.

That's just too much, don't go overboard with it, whatever it is that you're trying to say.

Everyone is looking, I feel so sexy, my skin is so fresh my hair's so pretty, being a woman is so shameful, no wonder it has to be met with equal shamlessness. And as I dance to the beat I can tell many want to join me, it's time to make someone's day -that boy overthere!- as I aproach him the music stops, and everyone looks at him now, looks like the type that wouldn't go anywhere without his wallet, "I just need one hundred" I said, he nods, I look around and snap my fingers at the only man over thirty, must be a drug dealer, he comes and I hand him the hundred dollar bill, he hands me a bag with cocaine -I think-, I decide to grab some and rub it all over the boys face, he closes his eyes and starts to laugh, gets up and starts to dance, I think the DJ is a hipster Go Outside by Cults is playing, an extended version. The drug dealer starts to laugh as well, he looks around, trying to laugh at everyone, his girls start to get nervious and try to pull him out of the place, I stop paying attention to him and just throw what's left of the star dust into the air..."This song is amazingly slow" I tell the boy, he hasn't stoped laughing, his nose is bleeding now, I think is funny and I start to laugh. The song fades into silence and I think I can hear sirens.

What else is /lit/ as fuck?

Females of /lit/, post pictures of yourself, please, that way we can advertise /lit/ to other boards as a board with alot of females and improve thread trafic and literature discussion. Thank you.

Sup /lit/ I am a gigantic faggot who has been listening to you for my whole literary career. I'm taking a break from the classics for a bit to read some contemporary fiction.

Is there a nice torrent online of books to choose from? Like one of those New York Times best seller torrents? I don't necessarily want best sellers though. If it's my only choice, I guess I'll deal with it.

Point me in the right direction here please.
