/lit/ - Literature

Frivolity

This one actually began life as a bored /lit/izen feeding two different books into a randomizer to see what happens. Don't know if you can still acquire it, though.

a chat channel already fucking exists for this shitty little board, okay? there's all the /lit/ related content you can shake a fucking stick at, in #/lit/ on irc.rizon.net. it's been here for fucking ever, and you're all idiots for not knowing about it. stop making skype and discord threads, you fucking utter shithole plebs.

I've made a mistake, /lit/. My university has an agreement with the Department of Energy to share time on a joint supercomputing project, and one of the professors I do research for was recently cleared to request time on it. The only spot we get is incredibly early in the morning, so last week I was supposed to supervise the output, but I uploaded this shitty program I wrote in python to procedurally generate books instead. I had been able to get paragraphs off of my laptop if I let it run long enough, but this thing wrote 50,000 fucking words in 20 seconds.

I was able to upload and run the research just fine, but I emailed the book to the head of the English department, and he asked me to come to his office and preceded to lose it. I had used "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" and "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" as the input texts, just because they sounded interesting together, and evidently he had a problem with either one or both. He threatened to tell the dean about the supercomputer misuse, which could be a felony, and I'm pretty much guaranteed to lose my scholarship (which I only got in the first place because I have ADHD.)

I'm scared shitless because I had already posted it to Amazon, with a cutesy title and topical description and some meme tier cover art, really laughing it up, before he freaked out, and now amazon support has locked my account without removing it from the store. Is it going to be worse that I tried to monetize it, should I still try to take it down, or does it not matter at this point? What the fuck do I do?
