Oh shit, the return. Bump

maybe because the extent of your prose is to talk like a fuckin MUD

>>18993524
There was an issue a few weeks ago after a slight break. Trying to keep it something like monthly.

Why don't you buy ad space on the board? It's dirt cheap anyway

What types of submissions are you looking for?

>>18993517
What's the expected quality level? I'm a bit nervous about my writing desu.

We unironically thought that you died. I'll write something up.
>>18993725
It's a periodical conceived and published on a taiwanese sockstuffing forum, anon. Take a guess.

>>18993517
Oh shit waddup

By the way,
call me a tranny, but maybe we ought to make a Discord or something similar.
It'd be nice to verify authorship
and to keep in touch with regards to future issues.
Make this a little more organised, you know
Just a thought

>>18993767
If you post a discord link, make sure it's a permanent link. It's difficult to find any lit discords because the links are always expired

>>18993786
It's best that way, keeps the discord tards out

>>18993767
>>18993786
Great way to fuck over the project by creating discord. Every thread regarding this zone will be a dumpster fire of fags rejecting it as trannycord

>>18993932
>rejecting it as trannycord
rightfully so. I use 4chan for a reason. If I wanted tranny namefag drama I'd be on reddit right now.

>>18993725
i asked before, and the editor gave an answer tantamount to "anything". i've never submitted my trashy uninteresting ramblings, though, so i can't speak as to whether "anything" refers to a submission or an acceptance criteria.

>>18993517
thanks for your contributions, lamp-editor. what do you see as the future of the mag? in three years, will you be as you are?

>>18993932
Fair point. Let's not do that, then.

>>18993517
Alright, I sent some burgerpunk to your admin address just now. It's the greatest masterpiece known to the genre. Of course.

>>18993661
There are ads, but you can't reply to ads.
>>18993700
Writing mainly, but also original art and photos and such. Look through some recent issues for example.
>>18993725
Most writers on this board match up, except for Tao Lin.
>>18994012
Got it. Thanks, Anon!

Until when are submissions open?

Are you guys gonna review new f gardener stuff? I liked the article about COTA

bump

>>18994134
No fixed date. &amp is currently a "done when its done" publication. If it doesn't make this issue, there should be another next month.

What is the word limit

>>18994543
Cool, just send you something. You might need to proofread it, I'm a little drunk tbqh

Are you guys going to fall off the face of the earth the moment I submit anything just like with pynecone magazine?

>>18993517
I'm banned from submissions

>>18994929
What'd you do, anon?

>>18994909
No hard limits. If it's too long, and not impossible to split up, I can always try to set it up as a serial thing if that's cool. There's been serial works across issues before.
>>18994923
Yes.
>>18994937
Submitted text that created mustard gas at the printing house.

bump

they published mine lol

>>18993767
Fuck of tranny. &amp is written by anonymous. There is no need to verify authorship

>>18995663
I have skimmed through a random issue and I have to say I quite like the aesthetic
Reeks of 21st century punk zine

I'm terrified of submitting to &amp.

Fuck yeah i thought you were dead

>>18995977
Why? It won the Pulitzer Prize.

>>18993517
whats the deal with &? people are talking about it

>>18996137
It's a magazine of writing from /lit/ (plus some art and photography from other boards on here) started earlier this year. You can read all the old issues on the site.

Bump. Thinking about submitting some poetry, or a short story, but I'm not entirely sure

>>18996230
Do it faggot. &amp has been my saving mental grace this year.

>>18996273
Not that anon but I also want to include a short story. Too bad I'm a journeyman writer

>>18996326
Journey into the submission box, man.

>>18996273
I know it's gay, but I don't know if I'm comfortable with it being anonymous. Guess if I really just want to write for the sake of writing, that doesn't matter though. I do want people to read it, even if it's just a few retards from here

>>18994299
I second this. Try that one. It’s like a horror version of Pokémon

>>18996632
It is a vast improvement from Cotc.

>>18996626
>but I don't know if I'm comfortable with it being anonymous.
You write for accolades.
Its that simple.

I enjoy that this exists but would never contribute myself and probably won't read beyond skimming. Somehow it just makes me reflect on online literary magazines - whenever I've looked at them they feel incredibly uptight and self-conscious, whereas this just seems like fun (but it has limited potential).

It's like something went missing in public culture, or the survival pressures force anything literary to behave in certain ways (humourless, rigid, obedient to authority, socially conscious, not interested in being playful) to get arts grants and patronage and certain kinds of readership.

>>18996632
Based

Is it okay to post with a pseudonym?

I'm considering submitting something, but I wouldn't want to send anything of mine that's too good.

>>18993517
I sent you something.
Use it if you dare.

>>18996897
It's not about it being recognized as mine. It's more about letting go of something that's just mine, and letting it become its own thing. Feels like letting a part of me go. I'm not concerned about clout from a tiny journal off of 4chan

The problem is that no one is going to read this. It's not well-known. I feel like I have a much better chance of recognition elsewhere

There is something authentic about &amp that blows away other magazines.

>>18998381
>it’s a ’disregard for standards’ translates into ’authentic’ episode
you need to be 18 to post here

>>18993517
bump for interest, plus i just bought march and april editions after seeing how dope they look itt

>>18993517
Loving the aesthetics, very kino

A suggestion:
You lads need to revive the Greentext culture of 4chan and dedicate one or two pages solely to classic cutting edge 4chan or /lit/ Greentext stories

>>18993526
Underrated oldfag

Is the next/upcoming issue being done by the new editor, and the one after that by the old one?

whats the trannycord

>>18999752
There isn't one and there never will be one

>>18996626
>>18997031
You can use pseudonyms. There have been some recurring contributors. Just look at past issues for examples of what's possible.
>>18999574
Yes, new editor here. This will be my first, and then, last I heard, we'd alternate.
