/lit/ - Literature

was supposed to drop this yesterday but didn't get back from my little trip until this morning. i was rode hard and put away yet but everything is in its right place now.
thanks to anons for being patient yesterday.

Goodnight, sweet prince.

>>17302718
if a dozen anons don't embrace the juche philosophy after reading this it's the the rice fields for me

>>17302790
In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since. Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone, he told me, just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had.

>>17302718
Based

>>17302889
This is my favorite article. It has the most satisying keks

>>17302790
Don’t believe the hype, it really does, have literary worth, I just downloaded Call of the Cherokee, really good.

OP, the image you have used on the last page is by William Eggleston. He is one of the most well known photographers and that photograph is also well know.
So what you're going to do about it?

Nonetheless very fucking kino design.

>>17302970
i read call of the arcade.
unreadable.
i can already tell that your reading skills are not up to snuff to properly enjoy most of the recommendations or projects on this board.
are you ESL?

>>17302889
Need to complete the promise of Brutalism and Tomboys, and have a story about remembering playing stickball with your commie bloc childhood friend while in the present visiting the post-soviet ruins

>>17302982
wow you're right. going to have to change that right now. that was submitted through email and i didn't even bother to check it. i thought i ran it through tineye, but yeah. okay. i'm retarded. going to have to change that right now.

also, this thread will serve this purpose i guess,
pointing out flaws so we can get it perfect by the week's beginning.

>>17302718
Expecting a comprehensive and full review of Hypersphere please and thank you

>>17303051
i've actually read hypersphere and i still don't know if i could write a review.

>>17303006
It would not be an apt description of North Korea if I didn't spare a word for the tomboys
>>17302949
Thanks anon, working on another piece of speculative fiction about the dystopian chainlink future

>>17302982
The rare third issue of &amp with the Eggleston will go for hundreds of dollars in the future.

>>17303082
fuck yeah. there's a little Best Korea flavor to this issue that just happened organically. couple of the classifeds mention it too. stoked for that speculative piece, haven't had any at all yet.
>>17303087
kek. putting the new back cover on now, should take 7 mins.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD
CONTAINS ILLEGAL MATERIAL IN THE FORM OF AND COPYWRITE PROTECTED PHOTOGRAPHY.

>>17302718
This is so a e s t e t h i c I don't just read it but I have to stare at every page for a long time

>>17302718
Solid P-theme.
Best parts:
Patterson Footage
Page49 Poetry
post-modernism
Commie Blocks In Pyongyang

>>17303181
that's funny i do that too.

>>17302718
>Download the latest issue of &amp for free:

No thanks

I'm wondering how many copies got sold in the first issue

>>17303302
31 physical copies of 001 were sold in total.

>>17303248
you can just read it online in your browser.

>>17303333
happy to do be part of those 31

>>17303377
checked!
looks like 5 issues of the Eggleston 003 were sold. lell. we'll see what MagCloud does.

some anons a few threads ago sent me pics of their copies and they were saddlestitched which is not cool since i never authorized saddlestich binding so i sent them an email and they played dumb. anons that purchase physical copies, please send pics so i can keep my eye on those homoerectuses at the printer

>>17303333
what are the numbers on /p/ issue?

>>17303504
weren't you moving to blurb?
photographers frequently use that platform for their zines and photobooks.

OKAY
updated the issue. no longer biting William Eggleston kek. thanks to the anon who pointed that out.
i was supposed to make another promo video and have all this rolling yesterday so thanks to you bois for being patient.
gonna update the elite chatroom right now for 004 and post the link.

>>17302718
"6 Thoughts" was brilliant, made me laugh. Thanks for this.

>>17303533
checked. the /p/ issue has sold only 3 copies.
yeah so i do want to change printers.
the reason i'm not on blurb or Lulu yet is because they both require me to have inDesign. so i pirated that and will teach myself how to use it. MagCloud is actually owned by Blurb, but the nice thing about MagCloud is that you can just upload a PDF without having to mess with inDesign and bleeds etc.

i was almost finished putting together this issue when Canva suddenly started charging me to render PDFs so i had to quickly pay for Canva to save the issue.

the Canva/MagCloud set up is good for amateurs like us to produce our own magazine, we don't need actual design skills,
we just make the project in canva, get the pdf, and give it to magcloud. done.

an InDesign/Lulu set up would require us to design the magazine in Adobe (the covers and the contents) and upload it all to Lulu. it sounds like this could bring the price down per issiue about $4.

so probably what i'll do is this: continue Canva/MagCloud until the summer; one of the other editors is going to be Editor-in-Chief for 005 (they will choose submissions, arrange articles, design the covers (or delegate any of this work) etc.
during this time i will likely try to teach my myself Adobe and attempt to create a template for &amp so that by 006 ew can use the new setup. i'd like to know what anons think though.
if i kicked the bucket or quit, i think the former system would work best for /lit/izens but also, anybody can make another site and make their own edits or offer cheaper copies (if that happens i'll probably try to get my act together for the Lulu sooner)

i'll start dropping some good ones for your hard drives. save that obituary. i want him to know he's dead to us.

Kek. Props to whoever wrote this

>>17303749
yeah thats a good one. can't wait until i get my first death threat.

sure this one's already circulating

>>17303553

>>17302718
So what is /hyperlit/ exactly?

What was the Eggleston photo?

>>17302718
>/hyperlit/
>Collaborative work on an open google doc focused on one topic, one paragraph, so anons might cumulatively achieve a piece of work with as much esoteric knowledge as Pynchon
>Blockchain powered collaborative writing where you have to mine words if you want to write
>A piece of literature with no original sentences, only an original order of sentences
>Moving beyond the avant garde - extracting live-written literate meaning from the 1m chart price movements of bitcoin
>marxist/post-colonial/feminist/etc analysis of a random document on the internet archive

>>17303799
checked.
so /hyperlit/ is this.
>>/lit/thread/17258375
if you read the entire thread, which is a bit of work, you'll get the full picture. the tl;dr is this:
anons invent a fictional universe of writers, thinkers, philosophers, and their works, and pretty much just banter about and create responses, refutations, analyses, essays etc in this canon.
i assume that it will grow overtime but tomorrow i'm going to make a /hyperlit/ thread and try to get the same momentum going that they had before. from that i'll probably spend sunday night making fake book covers and writing some fake essays lel.

Who wrote the Unfair contract? The language is pretty shit, but the story is really good, didn't expect that. Felt Drive mixed with Hotline miami, got some gruesome images there.

>>17303844
>dubs
nice. checked.
>pic related

>>17303887
yeah that was an ESL anon who i worked pretty close with. i actually did a full copyedit of that story which broke my third eye. learned a lot.

>>17303909
He's got some imagination, yet very unrefined language.

>>17303923
yeah he's prolific too so i expect he's getting better every day.

>>17303859
high concept. is there anything in canon outside of the warosu i posted?

Hey - it's back! didn't send anything in this time, but the Hegel story made me laugh. Snow story is okay, but its author really likes the verb "come" a bit too much.

>>17303999
check af. yeah the one with the dead horse and the fancy ass gay prose. thanks buddy! deadline for next issue is Feb 18

I'm the guy who's been creating the Gorkoniker character, and I've actually been spending time writing his history and philosophy outside the threads. I'm writing 'The Gorkoniker Family History' could I submit that serially as a work?

>>17304029
nice try officer

>>17303553
You are very welcome

>>17304091
Is it true that he once tried to import an ostrich from British Somalialand?

>>17302993
No. You just have poor taste. I doubt you even finished it. Which is sad, since it's a short book.

>>17304091
yeah absolutely that sounds fantastic.
the general idea i think is this: /hyperlit/ should stand on its own, outside of &amp. the breads that we bake up and the warosu leftovers can form the backbone of the canon and from there we should be able to consolidate all of the material in one place specific to the project.
&amp will have a /hyperlit/ feature where notable materials and discourses can get published, kind of like a journal.
the scope of &amp and /hyperlit/ can overlap but they must remain independent projects that stand on their own.

>>17304150
Actually, it is, you, who, has, himself, bad taste, see, if you indeed, did find it within you, to finish the scribbled scribe, that he wrote, it alone is prove, that you don't recognize, errors?

>>17302993
>i can already tell that your reading skills are not up to snuff to properly enjoy most of the recommendations or projects on this board. are you ESL?

>Judging by your poor punctuation, you quite possibly are. Call of the Arcade is based. You just have unrefined taste. It's also the highest level project this board has ever received.

>>17304187
you're supposed to be dead. please play along.

personal fave

also
submit your DFW essays for next issue, i already have two, so could make it a DFW issue.

>>17304141
What can I say? He was an amateur ornithologist and a based one.
>>17304160
Okie dokie. My plan for this book is that the concept is that the book is being written by Gorkoniker's great-grandson so far I've got a pretty good template going. Maybe I'll submit my work in threads here on /lit/ for feedback as well and ideas.

>>17304253
totally. like i said, i plan to make a good thread tomorrow and spend a bunch of time fleshing out the canon and making drops.

>>17304141
Some say that it's still wandering around the forests of Danville. People report sightings of it stealing food from people's porches and attacking picnickers.

>>17302718
it's surreal to be published for the first time even if its anonymous. Thanks, &amp! pic related is by me

>>17304309
based schizoposter. that one's fun.
i dig the microfiction hopefully i get lots more.

also going forward I’ll probably make a thread and generate hype and finish off the classified and get it proofread before we drop it with all eyes on it. This thread will probably be up all weekend so hopefully lots of anons notice.

Looks good.

>>17304309
This is a great piece anon, very cool.
>>17302718

Yo OP goodnight I had a great idea I'll post your magazine editions to GOODREADS. Yeah I'll do that when I go back to Sao Paulo. Honestly I'm a literary genius anon but I'm stuck in Brazil and I can only write genius stuff in Portuguese. GOOD LUCK, AND GODSPEED. When I start writing in English I'll send you my shit (will definitely get published, as I said I'm a genius). Bye

>>17304636
If you check the ‘Issues’ page, you’ll find 002; it’s a photo issue, I don’t include it in the front page but it’s on in the catalog there.

>>17304663
Ayo Submit your Portuguese stuff. Super interested in getting noNEnglish submissions. Also yeah Goodreads lel. I should do that, and format my review like a Karen

>>17304781
Yeah I'll submit something. Any theme for the next magazine? Just to know if I'll create something new or edit some shit I already have

>>17304568
I meant as in a twelve month subscription, not buying them individually.

>>17304905
Oh!
Sorry no not yet. If I can make a dollar I might buy and sell the catalog to facilitate that

>>17303161
Thank you for posting a gif holy shit why are people so obsessed with webmd or whatever

>>17304309
Dude I kekdhsrd at that post congrats. I will have one featured in the next issue and I’m super stoked even though it’s just an internet collab

>>17305250
You can open webm's on mobile w/ VLC in the appstore

I want to write something for this
When is the next time that it gets made? What kinda writing do you want?

>$22.20
nah

>>17305458
See >>17304029
check that our for ideas etc,
Really looking for whatever you got though, the mag should reflect /lit/ so it’s your call.

>>17305478
100 pages of high potency memology and blessed posts.
maybe I should consider making the next issue half the size or something though.

>>17305458
Next one will drop circa Feb 20

>>17305529
>>17305491
Ok I'm gonna email the submissions with some art I’ve made

>>17305518
No don't, the size is good, you should only downsize if you end up not getting enough quality material to fill up 100 pages. (I think if you charge $19.95 you'll get more sales though)

>>17305603
heard.
>>17305591
do so

>>17305768

>>17306236
got it. Hope it shows up in some way. How would you credit it? I probably would not use my real name

>>17306315
we don't give attribution, all submissions are attributed to Anonymous. if you use a pseudonym that's fine.

>>17306315
those are pretty sweet. good jawb.

>>17306429
Is it fine if I claim my story was printed later?

>>17306492
what do you mean?
oh yeah like if you wanted to claim it, no problem.
you the magazine itself won't give specific attribution to your real name, but you can tell the public that the work is yours and that you submitted it.
if ever in the future you require that your published works need to be taken back out of the public domain, just let me know and i'll remove them and republish without them.
hope that helps with what you were asking.

>>17306549
Just want to mention if I had a short story published when I pitch my novel to agents.

hopefully by then i'll be sitting on the board of Conde Nast and you'll be pitching your novel to me.

>>17306640
oh thats a good one.

>>17306222
New word:
Shrang (noun)
The scent on one's fingers after rubbing one's sweaty taint

>>17306680
Shrang doesn't sound musty enough of a word to describe that ball itch taint smell. It's rounder, bolder, and longer lasting than "Shrang" which sounds like a twinge snappy scent.

>>17306706
what about Bällschiften?

>>17306706
yeah maybe something like
Chuss, or
Gurbo
i submitted it anyway.

>>17306652
God willing. After 50+ rejections, thought I'd try a few short stories to help the cover letter.

>>17304091
Hello Gorkoniker anon, I appreciate your work. What did you think was missing in the last thread? Going into the thread (I was the Op and the guy who created Pugliesi and elaborated somewhat on Najder's character) IU was trying to shill the writers I created less so others could create more writers, but we just got less traction. I think we might need to add a rule that one must describe his fake philosophy or concepts, otherwise it's just word salad.
>>17304160
>&amp will have a /hyperlit/ feature where notable materials and discourses can get published, kind of like a journal.
As long as it stays separate from the magazine I think this is a good idea.
>>17304253
>Okie dokie. My plan for this book is that the concept is that the book is being written by Gorkoniker's great-grandson so far I've got a pretty good template going. Maybe I'll submit my work in threads here on /lit/ for feedback as well and ideas.
You're more dedicated than I am lol. I would write something more than a few excerpts but I think, to be frank, I need to read more actual philosophy before I could manage that.

>>17302718
Why is the website sooooo slow?

Checked.
There’s no /hyperlit/ in 003.

One day I hope to contribute to one of these. but I want my /lit/ mag contribution to be better quality than my /mu/ album contribution.

Just thought you should know, some of the hyperlinks on the 003 issue webpage are broken. For example, "your judgment is worthless" redirects to "Berkeley in the machine" from issue 001. Multiple broken

>>17310008
will do.

>>17308544
fixed. thanks

do you self submit your post or do others gather them from the board

>>17311900
checked. submit it yourself.
if you want your article on the website, you can submit through the webform.
if you want to get published in the print version, i'd recommend submitting via email.

>>17308368
Also
There is a chance that your stuff wasn’t dec deadly rejected. I did hand out a few submissions to the other editors that I didn’t get back. Please resubmit your piece. If I read it and told you that I liked it, I wouldn’t have lied about that.

Hello Pugliesi anon. While regulation sounds nice, I think it's almost better to have it be a free-for-all in order to
1. get more people to participate
2. you never know when someone's word salad will turn into a cornucopia thanks to other anons

>>17312774
That's a fair point, I should be a bit more patient with some lesser quality posts here and there.

>>17311791
thanks bb

>>17312179
I didn't wanna be a bitch about it, I just assumed that you had better stuff for this issue/in general, which I completely understand, but if you insist

Also, I think that poverty, specially in first world countries, would make an interesting theme for an edition, even more so now because of covid side effects. What do anons think?

>>17312808
that's interesting.
i did the interview with BestGore.com for 003, and i've been running through interviews for the next issue and already i've interview two homeless guys. i like the idea.
it seems that everytime i attempt a theme however, i migiht get one or two submissions on that theme. what i can do though is add it to the list of theme ideas in the elite chatroom.

also
i don't think i'll be able to helm a /hyperlit/ thread today, still at work.

>>17312546
Fund it!

>>17312860
You want me to make a new one? If so are we going to stick to the old format or are we going to add /hyperlit/ to the subject box?

>>17306222
Regt (noun)
Regt

>>17312860
>>17312953
If you are going to make a new /hyperlit/ thread I have a suggestion. Rather than just fake philosophy, what about expanding it into poets who don't exist and bunk science and such?

>>17312990
I actually had thought that we could even expand into fake novels and the like but I think /hyperlit/ is a bit too new to expand that far for now, maybe at a later date. For now, creating a fake cannon of philosophers to argue about is what I'd focus on, though if you really want to you create a philosopher that is also a poet.

>>17312953
op here.
i wasn't really a part of the original /hyperlit/ thread but i've been studying it like crazy. i have no suggestions on format yet until i put some experience under my belt. i'm definitely going to get involved when a thread drops, but i don't like to be the baker unless i know i can camp the thread and keep it bumpin. but if one drops i'll jump in.
>>17312990
i think once its in motion, it will be hard not to encompass the entire literary tradition.

>>17313011
checked.
this is a good suggestion because i think just like IRL literary canon most significant literary movements and events have fundamental roots in philosophy.
Philosophy was always the first kind of literature and from it all other kinds come.

I made the thread: >>17313089
>>17313088
I was more so thinking that we started the threads this way and have already done some work on the subject so we might as well create a cannon before we move on to other literary forms.

OKAY OP HERE
i'm actually getting dismissed now.
i'm ready to bake a /hyperlit/ thread.
is there another anon who might prefer to? i know there are some visionaries ITT and already established figures. anyway i'm going home now so tonight i'll finally be ready to expand on your philosophers, their ideas, and hopefully write some secondary work.

>>17302982
i wish we could just have something where we didn't have to worry about this shit. who cares? this is 4chan we should steal whatever we want in pursuit of our goals.

>>17313099
checked and agreed thanks doggy.

oh dope my poem made it in.

>>17313102
I just did, I made the last two so you can take it up after if you so desire.

>>17313105
yeah i mean lets say i left it in.
then Eggleston would end up suing our webhost, and the site would get removed anyway.

here's the thing though. we can steal, we just can't steal from people who have lawyers whose job it is to stop thieves.
a lot of Issue 002 was essentially stolen from /p/. i can get away with it because i wagered that those anons would not sue me.
eventually, we will become very vulnerable to that kind of thing unless we guarantee that all the work inside is licensed. even then big publishers run into problems all the time.
i don't really have a problem taking stuff off 4chan and putting it in the public domain, but the more popular the project gets the more controversy that will generate.
other small things: some faggot could go and trademark the logo and attempt to stop me from using it. there are a lot of little examples like this that make it fundamental that we don't profit from the sale of the magazine.

For the next one, would a book review suffice for content? I wrote one that I’d like to submit.

>>17313393
absolutely. haven't had one of those yet.

Bump

>>17313102
k dood. post a good excerpt on the thread

>>17315055
checked. i posted a couple covers,
i'm composing some secondary material now i'll post what i have in about one hour

>>17302790
>literally
ruined, FUCK this board.

>>17315699
Checked. It was literally yesterday though.

>>17302718
you interested in a collection of short poetry?

>>17316135
Yeah for sure. Fire it in by email.

Fuck this is still around? The same mag as years ago or a new one?

Gallosian (adj) - having the characteristics of a male chicken, cocksure, roosterly

Roosterly (adj) - Acting like a cock, gallosian

Laeviculus (adj) - being unaware of the connotation of words, clueless

>>17316160
This one is new. Started 2021.
You may be thinking of The Lit Quarterly.

>>17316163
kek good stuff

>>17316200
I am, I had a piece in it and was curious if this is the same lineage.

Good shit for publishing shit by the community though.

nice link retard

>>17316210
I spoke with the editor of TLQ at length about all kinds of stuff. He provides publication payments to contributors and attribution of course. We are anonymous and we can’t afford anything. But it was cool to get his advice.

>>17316147
Submitted. If you just want the serious ones that fine.

>>17316245
wups.
didn’t even notice that until now.
going to kms right now.

>>17316218

All submissions are welcome.
I haven’t turned one down for the online slush. The idea is to have such a breadth of articles that we get Google hits organically.

Did any anons read the Three Sins of Comedy article? I hope it was good.

>>17316973
Oh yeah I liked it anon, good on you. I suggest that you read more essay collections and hone your craft, I think you'd be good as an essayist if you worked on it.

>>17316987
Thanks, any suggestions on essays to read?

>>17316996
Well that depends on your interests but picrel is one of the better /lit/ charts out there. Personally I would reccomend starting with How To Travel With A Salmon: and Other Essays.

>>17317102
>how to travel with a salmon
thank you anon, that was a great read

Very curious that I received a issue with brown stains on the last page. I am very certain they are human shit, imagine the smell
So online buy this literal shit if you are a sniffer I guess

>>17302718

>my shitpost didn't make it this time

just submitted some old poetry, hope it's deemed worthy

>>17317645
I'm glad you enjoyed it. If I had to suggest a few collections after the one you just read, Montaigne' Essays and Calvino's Six Memos for the Next Millennium are also good.

>>17317766
Dude wtf.
Some of the covers looks banged up too.

Need friends for you party? Lots of friends, low prices! $5 dollar per friend. Call Jimmy to schedule

any hyperfags out there?
fell asleep lastnight so i didn't finish but i'm writing a book right now that should sumnmarize both threads.
here's a Google Sheet i'm using to organize the history.

>>17319474
I think that's what you get for spending actual money on this (literal) shit. I would hope you're at least published in it, but then it would just be vanity publishing on par with self-publishing.

>>17319956
Very based

>>17319972
Drown yourself phaggot. :^)

What did everyone think of the piece I wrote?

>>17319956
Najder, Cervellissimo, and Gorkoniker are all 21st century philosophers

>>17321573
ahh gotcha. thanks mate.
i'm almost done the first thread and have a lot of material so by the time i finish the second thread it might be tonight or tomorrow. but i'm going to publish the book when i'm done and shill it in the next episode of /HL/

>>17321573
i actually was looking for clarification on some things too so if its cool with you maybe i'll just leave them here since there's no dedicated general.

>>17319972
Chill bro

Bump

This is brilliant.

Ordered mine

>>17302718
Just ordered one. I think you're doing great work here, but do you think the price will ever go down? Thirty bucks a month for a magazine is quite a lot, especially considering the creators don't get paid.

>Thirty bucks a month for a magazine is quite a lot, especially considering the creators don't get paid.
The fuck? That's a hell of a scam they're pulling. Is there no free pdf version?

>>17328066
The digital edition is free, it's the print edition that costs money.

>>17328059
we can bring the price down in a few ways.
we can make the periodical smaller, that will reduce our total page count and therefore the printing price. it seems this is not something the community was too interested in.
alternatively we can change printers.
in order to do that, i have to learn InDesign better and then actually produce the magazine itself in InDesign. if we use Adobe InDesign, we can print via Lulu or Blurb directly. that would save us about $4 on the printing costs per magazine.
right now we print via MagCloud, which is extremely simple, we just send them the pdf and they do the rest,
if we print via lulu then we need to render the the magazine and the covers differently and according to the templates the printer provides.

thanks mango.
the idea is, once there are about a year or so worth of issues under our belt, i will attempt to shop the magazine to advertisers and perhaps even investors. i have experience taking online stores into profitability however this project is a little different because it is community driven.
there will come a time this year when the magazine 'gets noticed' by an element greater than just 4chan's anons and that will be the time during which i will try to market it. until then its just up to me to make sure the quality stays high enough until we get there.
once the magazine is earning money,
i'll pay out those conributors that brought us here and i'll be able to pay contributors and editors going forward from there.

the digital version will always be free.

>>17328658
>the digital version will always be free
Incredibly based, and I hope you are never forced to change that

>>17328687
Project wouldn’t even interest me if the digital version wasn’t free. The magazine is intentionally designed to look as cool and flashy as possible so as to attract their print versions to real coffee tables.

>>17328841
Also this way people can verify that t he mag has the content they’d enjoy before spending that much money. If I could sell a few ads per issue, would bring the cost of the mag down considerably.

No one did "How to live a tough life" yet?

>>17329119
haha no.
those title prompts didn't really pan out but i keep finding creative ways to use them. please feel free to work one. i haven't really looked at the inbox yet. i'm definitely a little burnt out which is normal. i'm going to helm the next issue, then for 005 i'm going to let the other editor take the wheel.

Would it be possible to add it to this account?

dangerously based

I have one hope, and that is that you don't plan on taking advertisements.

Lol you put my review of Coronameron in the mag that's so funny

>>17329226
What account? It is not that book, and though it may be by the same author ('Anonymous'), that is a general author tag to which thousands of books have been added...

>>17329248
i would love to be able to have ads that fit the style and brand. ads that we can have that might pass for aesthetic. it would probably be easier and more profitable to air an ad on the site instead of through the magazine, but that might suck more.
>>17329402

Mom, I finally made it. Thanks for doing these again OP, this is the sort of content that keeps me coming back to this board. And I don't say that just because I my shitpost was allotted a whole page in this ed., I swear.

OP here.
been working on a /hyperlit/ book i'm about to publish. phew!

>>17331372
ayoooo we rollin

>>17332244
Seems the last /hyperlit/ thread didn't do too well.

>>17332928
why's that?
you think it didn't get enough attention?
i'm finished writing this >>17332921
just trying to publish it right now.

>>17332921
>>17333010
Fucking based OP
Love ye

costs way too much for postage to me got the dimensions for me so i can print my own bootleg version

>>17333074
i encourage you to print your own.
post pics.

>>17333021
i found three threads in total.
i summarized them with commentary and attempted to axiomize the relevant philosophy.
will post when its finally published.

okay book's under review both print and digital.
i'll drop the epub and pdfs asap here.

>>17333010
>you think it didn't get enough attention?
That and the OP was kinda confusing, as the poster asked for real /hyperlit/, as in philosophies from real fictional settings. Hope the next one gets more traction.
>>17333244
God you're too based for this shitty site OP.

>>17333244
Based beyond belief.

>>17333244
what's the Eta big guy?

>>17333305
well its live on the site.
i'm having trouble converting my docx or my pdf to epub without it looking all jacked.
but otherwise its there. i'm putting up the raw txt now.

>>17333333

Holy shit anon this is pure kino. Seeing my posts in there are wild, especially one where i made a typo lol.

>>17333388
checked.
got the EPUB fixed. kinda.
once jeff bezos greenlights the paperback then we're really rolling and we can start developing the greater canon.
by this time next year there will be dozens of works all referencing and refuting eachother out of obscurity. it will be glorious.

>>17333406
>by this time next year there will be dozens of works all referencing and refuting eachother out of obscurity. it will be glorious.
Brings a tear to me eye, Godbless

the super weird thing about this is that i'm actually an expert on this fake shit now.
like i have the knowledge. its fucked up. i forgot that that would happen.

>>17333387
hyper based

But you ignored the whole thing about Geomoths, earthcore, nonexistent wisdom and the whole Radical Annihilationists artists and Post-Annihilationist philosophers :(.
>by this time next year there will be dozens of works all referencing and refuting eachother out of obscurity
Top kek and noted
I am going to do a photography project as a Radical Annihilationist artist.

>>17333531
o nice. photosophy.
yeah there was a good amount that i didn't cover. hopefully second edition will include that.

fixing the dates of the Gorkoniker thanks

>>17333387
now this is based

bump for more interest regarding the hyperlit work

>>17308480
this

am i retarded or is there not a second issue

>>17302718

do more

>>17335725

so the amazon kindle version or whatever is ready. still waiting for those homoerectuses to approve the paperback.

>>17335773
will do.
consider making asubmission. next issue drops feb 20

>>17335725
there is...i just ordered it

>>17336053
very cool.
if i buy your amazon paperback will you pick one of mine to purchance purchase & read. or burn, whatever.

>>17336140
hell yeah.
is yours /hyperlit/?
my work is largely meaningless but does dismantle all three /hyperlit/ threads and draw conclusions from them.

i'm going to set upa submission form on the site so that anons can submit their /hyperlit/ texts, and i can take them and publish them.
i strongly encourage anons to write and publish their own /hyperlit/ works, refuting or citing mine, or whatever. would be great to see more philosophical works, academic textbooks, etc.

i should drop a google doc today that we can all edit and hopefully we can pump out another book before the weekend.

>>17302718
Can I still buy this? I got the first issue and have been very slowly working my way through. The sam Hyde article got me right in the feels.

>>17336312
Issue 003 Print Version:
https://www.magcloud.com/browse/issue/1917206

i think what i'll do as well is try to get some decent procedurally generated philosophy and publish some of the back catalog of earlier thinkers like Bosch and Husserl

>>17330410
>>17331201

It would be cool to buy this magazine with crypto

also just wrote and published pic related.
paperback pending bezos approval.

>>17337651
once i make enough money to buy up a backorder of like 10 copies then i can finally start to sell them myself for crypto.
i'm gonna brainstorm because you raise a good point.

>>17337666
Can we trust you with our names? Big stuff like amazon is the easiest option for more anonymity, magcloud weirds me out

>>17337727
i don't actually see your names or shipping address or contact into, i only see the city it was delivered to

>>17337780
oh no sorry - I meant your magazine backorder crypto idea but this is interesting too

okay
i made a hyperlit space on the site, and finished two books, one contemporary and one classic. i use online AI text generators and deplagurizing services to make Bosch's Bijectivity. i actually wrote Pseudae from hand but in an effort to get lots of these out, i recommend taking time with some and rushing others. i'll probably publish a third book before the day is over.

>>17337828
o yeah true true.

ANONS CREATE HYPERLITERATURE AND PUBLISH IT SO WE CAN ADD IT TO THE SACRED CANON

>>17303771
lol, maybe the most honest cv

>>17308480
>>17335633
Ouch. Sorry you didn't like it

>>17338095
Those pseuds make F Gardner look like Thomas Pynchon.

when i get home I want to make a hyperlit thread where multiple anons can throw down on a single philosophical work.
