/lit/ - Literature

Welcome haters, oppressors, creators, artists, philistines, dogmatic fanatics, and most of all writers!

This is Project Nano/lit/, and the goal of this project is to generate an original ebook anthology of the OC of anon that is 40,000 words long. Then I will distribute the ebook for free on IRC, p2p search engines like the PTB or LimeTorrentz, libgen and also Dropbox. We are on track to meet that 40k goal in the next couple episodes, but only if I can manage to get 4000 words out of anon ITT. So do a little writing. All I ask is a sketch, a poem, a fragment.

>What is a Nano/lit/?

It is quasi-form of literature which is the result of the posting parameters on /lit/, the literature board on 4chan. It usually [not always] fits within a single post on /lit/, so a nano/lit/ is less than 3000 characters or about 500 words. It’s hardly any writing at all so that’s why I call it ‘nano’. But it’s enough to actually say something and I like how this length of writing is able to hold the attention of even a hardcore attention deficit autist such as myself. There aren’t any other defining characteristics of a nano/lit/, which indicates that the originator of such a silly concept is most assuredly a pseud of the lowest order. I mean, everyone knows that you need more than length as a parameter to earn the right to call yourself a ‘form’ of literature, m-I-rite? Then that shardhead goes and takes away even that parameter. This degree of unmitigated freedom scares me. Someone really should stop him.

This thread is a node in a greater cycle that will become NANO/LIT/ - 01 [ARCHETYPES OF MYTHOS], the finished ebook that this anon dares to publish utilizing the inherent properties of the internet without approval of any kind. I believe that this expression of free flowing online information is the concern of any who was ever called anon. You may not know this, but this interest in free information was once the only thing that united the users of this website. This was long ago, before you were probably born.

Here are the nodes/subjects/archetypes of this cycle within the project, past and future:

1 THE HORNED ONE
2 THE WHITEKNIGHT
3 THE TROLL
4 THE NEWGODS
5 THE DRAGON
6 THE MAGICIAN
7 THE ELVES <we are here
8 THE THE PRINCESS
9 THE MAGICAL FOREST OR CASTLE
XTHE FAERIE TALE
