Out of /biz/, /sci/, /tg/, /mu/, even /toy/ to be honest—basically out of all the blue hobby boards, /lit/ has the least actual discernible talent or culture. The most notable writer we've produced, for fucks sake, is fucking Gardener (Waldun doesn't count, he's /lit/ adjacent. And all of the serious writers we've had here have had no outside impact). We've produced two copypastas/notable memes, and written what, five unreadable doorstoppers? There is nothing here. We've been outclassed by fucking Reddit, in both the serious discussion realm, and the shitposting realm. Nothing notable from this board in TWELVE years. I can count on one hand the amount of actually helpful and actually funny regular posters. Rapture1 seemed like he was doing something serious but he fucking died.

Except we fucking don't. Like I said, it's too shitposty and free-for-all for serious discussion, and somehow too serious to just completely let go like /tv/ has. There is nothing here that you can't get better somewhere else.

/lit/ still has the highest rate of literacy and least amount of dumbass ESLs. That counts for something, right?

If we're not putting it to any use then I'd say no. The only thing those two have been conducive to is fighting and some slightly-higher-than-normal-brow shitposting.

If that's true then that means one of our most notable memes isn't even fucking ours. Imagine that.

Have you given any of these books a chance?
You can read the "Look Inside" portion on Amazon.
Some of them even get good ratings.

He’s both. F Gardner’s like a cross between /lit/ and /x./ But yeah he’s overall the biggest thing to ever come out of this board, by a large margin. Mostly because of just how ridiculously famous Call of the Crocodile became.

You could try to emulate F Gardner I guess. He bought 4chan ads and has 13 books now. Basically he’s done a lot and was the first person from 4chan to finish their book. Hypothetically you could attempt to repeat the success and end up writing the very next Call of the Crocodile and become a famous author like he did.

My point exactly.
He's somehow cranked out THIRTEEN of these brain-droppings.
Talk about a massive self-awareness fail.
Yet he prances around like he's the king of /lit/ .
And the jannies apparently don't consider his constant spam-shilling to be a violation of the "advertising/begging" rule, or, they would have put a stop to it.
Meanwhile, there are other /lit/ authors, like the ones pictured in >>21248809 , who are objectively MUCH less crappy. Possibly even good.

I don’t know if F Gardner’s possible to “copy.” Not in terms of success. He’s too much of an outlier. F Gardner’s even famous on Reddit and Goodreads now and it’s largely thanks to this site.

Kek. F Gardner is unironically not only the greatest writer from this board but he is also the greatest entrepreneur to ever emerge from all of 4chan. It’s fucking hilarious.

Then our job is done. Your path is clear. Burn a hole in the continuum and listen to the words from the other side. Fulfill your destiny and find the final seal to unleash the Armageddon upon the desert of the real. Save yourself and perhaps even we few in a self revolving immolation built for divinity. The time is ripe. Der dag ist kommen. Bring forth a plague to cover the world. Let it burn, fuel the machine, traverse the manifold and spy the pie. Bring us to a more proper abyss. Let us crawl amongst the deep and SEETHE.

That’s because the board is full of pseudo-intellectuals from /pol/. >>21250700
In terms of people who actually went on to make names for themselves I’d have to agree. there’s a lot of people out there who’ve had a history with the fandom thet went on to make art and stories or some other shit that got them a name. not even considering all the people who generated all of the fandom centric content.
