/lit/ - Literature

This is why I don't take seriously people who say the site has been ruined, or whatever. I've been coming here since 2007, roughly since that list was posted, and the site has changed but I wouldn't say it's gotten WORSE. Honestly, when people talk about the idea that 4chan has gotten worse, I sometimes think it's not that the site has changed, it's that they, themselves, have grown up, lived through life, experienced disappointments, and what they really miss about "old 4chan" is the days of their youth when things were brighter and more full of promise.

My impression of this book from people posting about it on /lit/ is that it's difficult to read, maddeningly so, and what you get for your effort isn't necessarily worth it. Is that right?

The secret is to write in a pastebin. If you do it anonymously there's no way it can be traced to you and you can maintain your reputation. I have shared dozens of pastebin fics concerning my degenerate fetishes over the years and nobody IRL has ever been the wiser.

Honestly not sure this thread will last until my next attempt, that will probably be this Sunday. But I'll post in the next thread about the results and you guys can see for yourselves.

You know what? Sure, I'll allow it. 4chan's slang and lingo basically hasn't changed in more than a decade, we could do with something new.

I've been coming to 4chan since 2007. I've been on /lit/ since this board's founding.

Have we gone through shitty periods? Yes. But I still like 4chan and I still like /lit/. I'll probably always come here, or at least I'll come here until 4chan dies for good, and if/when that happens I'll try to find some other image board that will undoubtedly pop up in this site's aftermath.

I genuinely just like coming here to discuss things. Apart from /lit/, my main boards are /a/, /co/, /o/, and /sp/, because I happen to like talking about anime, manga, cartoons, comics, cars, and sports. I like the communities here and I like the discussions we have.

I feel like people obsessing over the "importance" of 4chan need to get over themselves, frankly. If the world is to be changed, it won't be changed here, or even if it WILL be changed here YOU won't get famous doing it. That's the point. You're just an Anon. We all are. We're here because our names mean nothing, and, as Keats' gravestone says, our names are written in water. We come here because we enjoy the content, not the personalities, of what the site offers. That's why I keep coming here, and why I'll never leave.

As far as pure fiction/storytelling goes this is not bad. Youve nailed all the epics, at least.

I'm struggling of anything to fit in that wouldn't just be increasing specialization. Like, there's something that tells me there ought to be something between Paradise Lost and Moby-Dick, but I can't think what it would be.

I also feel like something should be after Ulysses, just to close out the 20th Century. Maybe Blood Meridian?
