Why hasn't 4chan produced any great works of literature? We've been the memetic epicenter of the internet for 2 decades and all we got to show for it is a couple terribly written visual novels authored by horny incels. With the amount of dynamism and cultural capital 4chan has produced you'd think more artists would be drawn here.

I think there might be a few people who frequented 4chan who wrote some decent novels but I doubt they would want to call attention to this place. If I ever write anything that gets published the last thing I'm doing is giving any recognition about /lit/.

> 4chan inspired

Well then actually me. Except I got inspired by /succgen/ from /x/, where I, as a full blown shizo, spend most of my time.

It's a short story based on years of lurking /x/ and sometimes succgen. Even tho succgen is a joke on /x/, it's still miles better than most of the larp crap posted there. At least it gets people into meditation and spirituality, even tho it's pretty much all larp imagination.

So no, you cannot summon a succubus, but it was a good plot for a short story.

Horror Fiction, pic related. Very much 4chan inspired.
