/lit/ - Literature

What is your greatest literary achievement?

Reminder that reading genre fiction is a sign that you genuinely enjoy reading.

Anyone who poo poos genre fiction is automatically a pseud who only allows himself to read the classics and hates every minute of it.

You can shit on me, but I know I'm correct.

so prose writers,

>how many short stories, novellas, and novels have you finished? (regardless of first draft or published)

>how many short stories, novellas, and novels are you currently writing?

>how many short stories, novellas, and novels do you seriously consider writing in the future?

what were some lit journals started in or popular with /lit/?

I remember there being like 2-3 a few years ago, but I can't for the life of me remember their names

What is your ideal afterlife?

>TFW PURPOSE IN LIFE IS TO BE A WRITER
>TFW WANTED TO BE A WRITER SINCE YOUNG CHILD
>TFW NEVER STOPPED WANTING TO BE A WRITER
>TFW IDENTIFIES VERY STRONGLY WITH THE LABEL "WRITER"

anyone else know this feel

fuck I should really take writing more seriously

>ITT: Post a tidbit of philosophy you believe to be original

Morality is typed, in the computer science sense. That is, certain moral actions may not be comparable with other ones, or may always come out as a "greater" or "lesser" moral evil.

As an example, take the famous utilitarian dilemma of "is it morally correct to brutally torture a man for 40 years in order to cause nobody in the world to get sand in their eyes for 5 years, assuming the discomfort of the eye-sand will outweigh the torture?"

In this system, the answer may be "No, that doesn't make sense. Those two types of moral evil cannot be compared in any meaningful way, as their types are incompatible."
