/lit/ - Literature

Yes, send it in. Good writing - as long as it isn't blatantly contrary - is up for consideration on it's own merits.

It's double-edged. More discretion, less appeal for some. We're planting a flag. It's not like I'm trying to win a popularity contest. The movement needs a literary journal; I'm trying to fill that vacuum.

Send it in.

Thanks. First issue will come out in April or early May. I'm struggling to find quality writing. I briefly worked for a magazine, more politically oriented, that had phenomenal writing, but they paid around $10k a pop for those articles, sometimes twice that.

There's no guarantee anyone other than the authors it publishes and their mothers will read a lit mag, but I'm doing my damnedest to produce a quality publication.

>what a joke

Nice try. Mishima was inspired by Otoya and based his story "Seventeen" on him (seventeen being the age Otoya became a martyr.)

Never heard of it.

>So you want to offer beauty, truth, entertainment, knowledge, goodness, intrigue, to hard right, those like minded with you, but also maybe try to make those who are not as hard right as you, a bit harder?

And try to influence others. A model might be Commentary magazine, an anti-Communist Jewish publication that became a place a home for right-wing Jews/neocons. To be clear, they are/were doing something different, but they did become the lit mag of a movement and helped to shape and inform it.

And I absolutely want fiction. Fiction can help move the needle (see "Brokeback Mountain.")

It's flying just fine. And I'd be eager for any kind of political reaction because that's publicity aka "earned media." That would be preferable to what I expect the reaction to be: ignore.

I'd also add that, so far, the University's own voice is left-wing but they've repeated their support of free speech and opposition to speech codes.

Want to get a drink sometime?
