is short horror acceptable?

How much do you pay contributors?

>>20614392
yeah absolutely. the thing about &amp is that everything is acceptable. literally. literarily. i will print anything you give me as long as its not the word nigger for four pages.

>>20614411
checked. nobody gets paid to make &amp, it is entirely powered by the listless ambition of /lit/.
this is the part where you call me a faggot.

>>20614418
Can you be more specific about the limit on the number allowed?

>>20614380
I wrote something in Spanish, will this stand to get published?

>>20614430
if it's racist at least let it represent your true feelings, or at least make a good story. i don't care what's going on as long as its fun to read. i will accept anything.
>>20614423
i used the word listless but i meant restless. stop looking at me.

>>20614434
absolutely. we have published spanish poetry in the past, as well as french poetry. i would love to get more languages in &amp.

ALSO SEND YOUR SHITTY MS PAINT WORKS, YOUR RANDOM SCRIBES, YOUR HANDDRAWN MASTURPIECES...
seriously bust open ms paint and make something fun and send it to lamp i love when that happens

>>20614423
Reminds me of the Huffington Post story. Adriana Huffington started a blog site and badgered writers to contribute. She at least paid them per article (a pittance) Fast forward a few years later and she sells the website for 200+ million dollars. Guess how much she gave to the writers? Nothing.

>>20614472
yeah bitch cept this one's from 4chan so what could go wrong? get in we're going to hollywood

>>20614489
>we

>>20614489
this is my big break fellas i can feel it

>>20614489
If you're just pulling images and text off this site you're breaching copyright and if you ever make any money you'll have to give it all away

>>20614494
there's been three different editors, over a hundred contributors. the project is public domain so anybody can print it and sell it. it's a creative writing/design collective founded and developed on /lit/. if the project was ever actually worth anything at all, it would only be so because of the irreverence and originality of this board, and it could never be produced naturally by one man alone.

>>20614527
>t. has no fucking idea what he’s talking about

>>20614532
The material here's not public domain what are you talking about? Have fun with it, but the reason no one does it becasue you'll never make any money and lose it if you do. So you're a volunteeer

>>20614527
which material on this site is copyrighted? all of the photos on /p/? all of the stories on /lit/? i take what is here and publish it in the public domain. if you have a problem over stolen material, you can just ask me and i'll fix it. if you litigate over a piece that you believe was stolen, you can prove in court that you wrote it before &amp published it.

>>20614550
>all of the photos on /p/? all of the stories on /lit/?

Yes it is copyrighted idiot

>>20614550
and you don't know what public domain is

>>20614548
so the material posted on this site is in the public domain until it is copyrighted and even then it is for practical purposes free to use unless you want to claim that copyrighted material was stolen and published by &amp.

>>20614552
Yes, because every shitposter registers their incel fanfics with the US government

>>20614557
You don't know what you're talking about mate, no wonder, I'm not here to give you a law lesson, you can figure that out yourself, bye

>>20614552
oh so 4chan owns the copyright to this here post, its artistic originality, its demonstrable uniqueness? you are wrong and that's okay.
>>20614556
i do but the onus is on you to school me. what am i missing?

>>20614563
thanks anon don't forget to drown yourself on the way out

whoever just submitted literally three pages of the word nigger...


thank you.

Where do I insert my masterpiece? There is "Insert Photo" and "Featured Image", which one is it?

>>20614563
>I’m not here to give you a law lesson
Obviously: you’re a 4chan larper, not someone with knowledge. Kys faggot

>>20614444
Gracias, I will begin editing. This will likely be a first part of a few more so yeah just you wait, hope it is to your liking. Do you prefer email or submission box?

>>20614552
Are you seriously bearing down on this this fucking hard?
You honestly believe if I post an ACTUAL copyrighted image on /p/, something that is possible, that 4chan than owns the copyright somehow?
Srsly mate, find something better to do with your time than talking this much shit

>>20614557
>so the material posted on this site is in the public domain until it is copyrighted
No. Posting a poem for example on the site would effectively establish copyright. The problem for someone seeking to enforce that would be proving that they posted it. Basically without a trip or a draft timestamped before the post, they would be fucked.
You can legally reproduce copyrighted material with expressed permission, or without permission in the case of "fair use". You should probably have read up on that already. I personally don't know how that plays with paid advertising though.
And of course you can just say fuck it and print whatever you want and most likely nothing will happen, unless you did try to pull a HuffPost with it, in which case you would probably get sued out of spite if nothing else.
>>20614567
No, you own the content of your posts.

I am not a lawyer and none of this is legal advice.

>>20614587
um featured image only comes up in the post catalog. use an image in the body of the post to get it seen. if you submit via the site, email to say you want the article posted in print as well. gg
>>20614604
If you submit it via the box, make sure to email it to me as well. the online slush pile is pretty much just my and this other guys blog at this point lel. the email is for /lit/ exclusively

>>20614614
yes you are correct. if you actually read the magazine you would see the disclaimer over every one of our table of contents. now that we're on the level, call me a faggot so i can print it.

>>20614614
>if I throw enough words in the post I’ll sound smart
My guy you don’t even know what a copyright is. A governing body has to formally grant you a copyright, the legal right to reproduce a certain thing. At no point in posting on 4chan does anyone give a fuck, let alone make a registry comparable and give permission to something like copyright.
Stop talking out your fucking ass this is cringe as hell

>>20614628
>if you actually read the magazine
Haha no. Faggot.

checked. once it gets published in &amp it officially becomes public domain until any copyright or claim to ownership is made.

>>20614633
>A governing body has to formally grant you a copyright, the legal right to reproduce a certain thing
I don't know how it works in whatever shithole country you're from. Don't really care. That's absolutely not how it works in the US though.

>>20614643
>once it gets published in &amp it officially becomes public domain until any copyright or claim to ownership is made.
That's not how that works either.

>>20614651
LOL i am in the US and hold a copyright; you have absolutely no fucking clue what your saying my stupid ass nigger.
Please keep talking this is just funny now

>>20614651
Also to what you said to >>20614643
yes it is. People have to assert a claim to a copyright, there’s no police force that will show up at your door if you put a 4chan screencap in a book you self publish and give away for free

>>20614651
it actually is how it works in practice.
if i grab some photograph taken by Ansel Adams and try to put it in the public domain, no, that's not going to happen. if i take any photo or piece of writing that has an actual copyright already and i publish it in &amp, it remains a violation.
but nobody reads &amp except us.
and everything else that isn't copyrighted that gets published by &amp can be settled in the inbox or in a courtroom when somebody comes to me to claim ownership of that material.

>>20614660
No that's alright I said my bit. Anyone can research it for themselves and see. I don't care what you do personally, and I'm not the seething anon that brought up, I'm just disseminating information.

>>20614666
everything else gets dedicated to the public domain. peep my luciferian digitals.

>>20614667
>No
should’ve just stopped there. I ACTUALLY studied this, so while you’re over there trying to save face I’m really just shaking my head. Don’t know why people literally spout nonsense just to shoot others down.
Good on you editor anon. Don’t listen to the faggots.

>>20614651
That is literally how it works, you need to tell the gov that it belongs to you

>>20614685
You sound upset. That's alright too. Good luck out there.

>>20614690
run along lil boy. we’re done with you today

>>20614696
Take care!

>>20614614
>NooooOOOOO! how am I going to monetize three pages of NIGGER if you publish it with my consent?!

>>20614702
Bro talk about copyrights then lol.
You were the one who said this >>20614651 absolutely mental shit, not me. You’re the one with explaining to do

>>20614706
See ya later!

>>20614685
>comes back to say nothing
cool man.

hey check out this avant-garde play that i wrote for the stage. it's pretty experimental, man! some of the lines are spoken off-stage, some the players are instructed to simply Think the lines in their head, some lines are almost incomprehensible themselves. you can even buy it in paperback!
https://lampbylit.com/magazine/flexur-2/

show me what you made dude, i'm super stoked to check it out fr fr

>>20614711
Bon voyage!

Ladies and gentleman, this is your smartest non-&amp-submitter

>>20614725
Catch you next time!

>>20614472

>>20614744
See you tonorrow!

>>20614635
thanks anon. peep the next issue, you're in it.

>>20614753
That's okay, you have my permission. But seriously I'm not going to read it.

Bye!

>>20614752
on second thought, it’s obvious you’re going to be lurking this thread for hours to post a rebuttal when we’re all gone. see you tomorrow morning I guess

>>20614472
except this is 4chins and the /lit/ board

>>20614766
Okay, see ya!

>>20614766
checked. i'm going to get back to drinking and putting the issue together. yall plz keep the thread stoked til tomorrow. also send me hatemail so i can use it.

>>20614380
How much filler? I might send some 500 word fluff I have lying around or another essay, that's assuming my Joyce one gets published lol.

>>20614380
I'll send a couple poems via email

>>20614380
Bumping for the only good thread.

>>20614783
I emailed a short story but didn’t get a response. I hope you still accepted it!

I have submitted a short story!

>>20614380
Man, I want to submit so much as I did in previous editions, but since I got this wagie job, I have no time to write quality pieces. Sorry bruv

>>20614380
Contributor's Telegram group when?

>>20614380
how soon after submitting do you usually send a response?

Nice! I think instead of sending some reject or shitting something out last-minute I might actually start work on that e'er-delayed project to be writ for a next one.

I like how the little reading thingy on the website makes a delicious page-turning noise when you turn the page. I was reading the magazine while listening to music at full blast (as I usually do) to drown out any painful introspective thoughts I might experience and in those few moments of sobering silence I heard the pages turn and it was orgasmic. I might have to read future editions without listening to music, but that leaves my mind vulnerable.

>>20614615
OK will keep in mind, have a great day.

>>20615706
>>20616631
thanks anons.
thumbs up.
>>20616643
no worries. i have a wagie job too, that's why i haven't even looked at the inbox until the very very last second. lel. thanks for everything tho man i know you'll be back.
>>20616677
checked. if you build it they will come. i was fucking around on the /lit/ discord on behalf of &amp last year, that's how i interview F Gardner, over discord i believe.
>>20616892
it can take a long time. i will reply to every submission, however i usually won't do that until i actually go in to read, design, and integrate the submission into the latest issue. then i'll thank you and try to build a discourse. sorry if i ghosted you. always feel free to send me a bunch of emails like Weeaboo Jones style.
>>20616920
it would honor the magazine to receive a specially crafted piece. i genuinely mean that.
>>20617030
i know i have a weird satisfying brain reaction to the crispness of the motions and sounds of the PDF reader. alternatively, you can turn off the page turning animation and the sounds in your browser.

nothing to give you this time, hope to have some stuff for 015.
godspeed king
