Has the Quarterly issued an official statement yet? Giving space to black and brown voices is really necessary now! It grieves us all is a big platform like this won't stand up against injustice.

The lit quarterly gives us a voice, the truly voiceless. Blacks have enough space to be heard, christ, they have every company and news org giving them air time. Fuck off.

I fucking KNEW this magazine wasn't going to last more than a few issues. I knew in my gut that submitting here was a fool's errand.

>>15541899
have faith

>>15541292
The correct slogan.

just reject my submission already

>>15541292

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>15541969
Who's that in the image?

>>15540833
The site looks pretty fucking good compared to when I last checked a month or two back. The read online option isn't set up yet, but it's a big improvement.

How many readers do you have assessing submissions?

>>15541871
Us being 4chan or what?

Come back KYYYYYYYYLE

>>15540833
It would be cool if the magazine develops into a legitimate publication.

But then again, this is fucking 4chan and being published on The Lit Quarterly will likely come with a degree of stigma--especially being based in Canada.

>>15543738
Perhaps at a certain inflection point, the magazine might undergo a rebranding. But who knows? Maybe /lit/ will finally get fed up with the /pol/ folk and disassociate with 4chan as such.

>>15543913
We could just harass Hiro until the moderation on the board improves.

>>15543913
As long as the issues don't publish /pol/ trash that looks like it came from 4chan, it shouldn't be a problem. Nothing on the site or the issues I've read mention 4chan. Only way you'd know is if you saw these threads, which is why it's important that they don't publish trash.

Their submission periods are getting picked up and promoted by writing blogs/news sites and they're paying writers. They could probably boast a decent contributors list soon if they keep their nose clean.

>>15541292
Few lives matter

>>15544176
only one life ever mattered, the rest are just copycats and should be treated with disdain.

>>15544207
This is what I mean.

This isn't edgy or funny. It's just dumb. Keep shit like this out of the mag and it'll be golden.

>>15544334
Maybe it'll turn out like those guys who made Katawa Shoujo. Though, they had a little bit of a less on the nose name.

>>15544334
you absolute nigger

>>15544334
It was not really meant to be funny, certainly not edgy, not sure how anyone can mistake that for edginess, it was just following the eestablished pattern and looking at it from another perspective.

Also, already been published in the quarterly, moderately well recieved.

Any others similar to Lit Quarterly?

They did just have a giant worldwide shutdown to deal with that kind of affects your ability to get physical publishing done.

Just missed their deadline. Lame.

>>15543913
"lit quarterly" is a pretty inconspicuous name to begin with

do they count posts you've made on /lit/ as "previously published"?

>>15540833
Honestly really this rn>>15541563

What if they don't know that?

It is on the nose, isn't it.

>>15545069
The more established it becomes, the more likely that gets out.

>>15545081
We'll see.

>>15544482
I was wanting to do something like this, but more niche, but I don't have quite the same resources (seemingly).

>>15545097
I'm telling.

>>15545099
which niche?

What's the niche?

Ah, yes, mummy's boy and his piss bottles need to be heard.

>>15546290
Why not, if "Daddy's little girl" (male) with her post-dilation blood bottles gets in, why not a precocious young lad?

>>15544334
thanks for censoring I feel much better now

>>15546312
I was merely projecting there.

this is neat

>>15541563
absurd to give in and "uplift" black voices... extremely patronizing POV that actually just reinforces the stereotypes, forcing black writers be the voice of the black community, lumping all blacks into one. Literature is individual

Although it would be cool for this to be successful and recognized, the attitude in this thread seems to be that we should be sneaky and hide what it is or what it's from to do that
I think that's omega cringe. If you're not being yourself what's the point in being popular?

>>15547837
Honestly I hope the magazine gets popular enough that Kyle isn't making a loss and is compensated for the time he and his partners put in.

>>15547837

Every issue has had references to it and too many people lurk to be able to hide it. A freakout is inevitable at some point because if calls for submissions are spreading on regular literature sites, people who don't read it and will never read it are going to submit. In general no writers actually read the magazines they submit to. Lit Quarterly is a weird exception to that rule because it's based in a community. So eventually someone from the Karen Left is going to submit, get selected, and then actually read what's in there and throw a giant tantrum and demand immediate cancellation of everyone involved. All the people who submit without reading it will freak out and try to protect their own ass by bowing to Karen and saying they knew absolutely nothing.

>>15548052
Yes it would bring a sort of notoriety to the magazine that we don't necessarily want. Perhaps it's waiting to happen.
Broadly speaking, some of us want the magazine to be popular and more widely read (notoriety would accomplish that just fine: the more attention they give us, the more popular we get and there is no way for them to make us stop), while some of us want the publication to remain niche. I'm not sure where I stand, but ultimately I think the decision has been taken out of our hands.
