/lit/ - Literature

can't tell if I'm too much or not enough of a newfag to get these

>writers on notoriously anarchist 4chan need a single strong stylistic vision
not bloody likely

read

>>22290630
>4chan is certainly the incubator and birthplace of much of Gen Z culture, humor, anxieties and sub-dermal political tendencies
but is /lit/ in particular even influential because zoomers don't actually read, at least not books, even less write.

>>22290711
maybe you're exactly the right amount of newfag

>>22290630
>4chan is certainly the incubator and birthplace of much of Gen Z culture, humor, anxieties and sub-dermal political tendencies
that would be tiktok

>>22290717
4chan isn’t anarchist it’s just retarded

>>22290753
you're not wrong...4channers have all the social impairment of nerds & none of the brains

I love James Krake

>>22290631
I’m pretty sure that >>22290616 is the real AnderSEN, because iirc he was a big fan of TTT and often talked about MNM-DR.

>>22291109
>there will never be a /lit/ renaissance as long as the most interesting component of this renaissance is how pathetic and reactionary the authors are. You retards need to hunker down and write something of worth.
I don’t care what side of the discord war this guy is on, that is a based take. If the lot of you spent as much effort on your art as you did on your discord drama then maybe the “/lit/ Renaissance” would be something more than a medal that you’ve awkwardly awarded to yourselves.

>>22291167
I think there are plenty of people on this board that aren't reactionary. I've had some anons tell me, in regards to a work in progress, that they hope I fail because I wasn't reactionary enough. I'm just going about things my own way.

>>22291176
I don’t doubt it, but how many of our current authors are? Not saying that you’re an extreme outlier but that seems like a fairly accurate description of the who’s-who of /lit/. Even Gardner can’t escape the accusation of being a member of the alt-right.

>>22291259
>Defending Gardner

I’m so glad I saved this pic. Gardner fucking wrote this. He is an unironic nazi.

>>22291283
i hear nazis are back in fashion

>>22290630
You forgot
>James Krake has mosaic Down Syndrome
>RhymeAndGrind and Ari are twins separated at birth
>Woolston impregnated an underaged inbred hick
>KRH and Atlas sex tape leaked
>Tooky has a double life as a rockin’ twink
>AnderSEN is in cahoots with MNMDR’s stalker
>Gardner is HIV-positive and moonlights as a low class hooker

>>22291283
This is just crab mentality. You don’t actually believe that Gardner is a nazi, you just want him to fail. Heck, where do you think we are? You’d probably like him more if you actually thought he was a nazi.
This crab mentality is another thing preventing the renaissance. Put this hatred into your writing. Come back with something that transcends how pathetic you are IRL. Change the way normies view us instead of trying to own Gardner.

>>22291259
I'm not really sure. I haven't read all of them, but from some premises and references in stories I would at least say it could approach a third.
I think delving into topics that reactionaries think about is fine. Even I want to do that. It's the way you characterize that matters. But I suppose writing about anything controversial these days without express condemnation is tantamount to reactionary writing. Or talking about God means it's Biblethumping.

>>22291320
I would unironically read and support Frank if he developed his style beyond shitposting. I held my breath during the hiatus. Guess I don't know him that well. But seriously I think the whole /x/ voice could be awesome if he made a sincere effort to learn from the paranormal writers on /lit/ or elsewhere. Until then he is like a voice crying in the wilderness.

>>22291259
i put it to you that one needs a minimum IQ level to even form political opinions
gardner clearly doesn't meet that
it'd be like blaming a bison for goring you

>>22291333
Checked. I don’t actually have an issue with reactionary writing. What I take issue with is the fact that almost every reactionary writer we have is woefully out of his depth. I enjoyed Mike Ma’s writing but most of what he writes is hand waved away with a “haha just kidding!”, and I’ve also heard good things about MNMDR, but everyone else? Nothing but shit. These are early twenties high school dropouts who are attempting to preach a worldview before they’ve even kissed a girl. We all see right though it.
But this is my take, and that’s actually a big problem. I’m far more forgiving to reactionary styles than most normies would be. Look at how the normies treat Ma. The guy has trolling communities dedicated to fucking with him irl for being a shitty alt-right author. How would the normies look at us? We need to change our image. We need a book that becomes THE /lit/ book.

>>22291296
This is getting out of hand. I love it.

>>22291366
> We need a book that becomes THE /lit/ book.

To people outside of these threads that just means Call of the Crocodile. Not that many people are even aware of /lit/

>>22291366
What do you hope to see in a quintessential /lit/ book? There have been threads for years about "the great incel novel" and the attempts I've seen are missing something. Like it took the steps to illustrate what anons have seen, but nothing further. I think there's fertile ground to deal with the subject in a way that relevant to more people. Today, over half of people use the internet everyday. But the experiences of anons are ahead of the curve and intimately familiar with the frustration of communication breakdown that occurred by moving our lives, and the expression of ourselves, into text, images and sound. There is also a vast library of idiosyncrasy to explore that I think could reveal more than just incels do.
One hope I have is to develop metamodernism in a stronger way. Some kind of idea that has cultural force to it, something that is deeper than a talking point we expect.

>>22291396
Nta but making a “/lit/“ book is bound to be a catastrophic failure. The style, content, and culture of 4chan will not lead to a book that will be anything beyond a flash in the pan curiosity at best. Write something normal with themes that anyone can relate to. Develop your own voice and style. A culture war style book is almost bound to be a laughingstock.

>>22291395
Wouldn't it be Mike Ma's "Harassment Architecture"?
That gets far more actual sales.

>>22291407
Gardner is vocal about actually coming here. As far as I’m aware /lit/ isn’t on Mike Ma’s radar.

>>22291396
>What do you hope to see in a quintessential /lit/ book?
I’m less looking for quintessential and more looking for something to break the mould. The quintessence of what we have now is bound for failure in the normie sphere.
It needs to completely and totally avoid any philosophical or alt-right notions. It should be based on comedy. There is a huge market for 4chan comedy, and that’s likely the reason Mike Ma is as successful as he is, not his political views.

>>22291395
Yeah this is in a nutshell the harsh reality. CotC is the only book from here that I’ve ever heard referenced elsewhere.

>>22291406
And yet "A Confederacy Of Dunces" won the Pulitzer.
It may have been written ~50 years ago, but it's as 4chan as it gets.

>>22291395
Does "Re: Trailer Trash" count?
It sells well & has hundred of legit Amazon reviews.

>>22291395
You guys are all beginning to make Call of the Crocodile sound amazing from all this seething.

>>22291426
Post the link. I know what Call of the Crocodile is but I’m not familiar with that one.

>>22291406
I agree with you actually. The theme of 4chan itself, or Us vs Them, isnt compelling. It's just a setting, if not an origin point for something more interesting, a complex character and conflict that anyone could get without losing all sympathy. I think the style can explore some unique aspects of anonymous voice and blur POV at times. Simply imitating posts will not cut it.

>>22291429
Here’s the thing. F Gardner advertised his book series as a “4chan book series.” He’s the only one (or at least the one most people know about) who ever did this. He bought ads in such high frequency that it cemented itself as “4chan books.” And because Call of the Crocodile had such an autistic cover and batshit insane plot and was used in all the ads it subsequently became the book everyone associated with this site. If others have done the same they didn’t spend as much money advertising it as such as Gardner did.

>>22291427
stop stroking yourself frank
"call of united airlines" is all people need to read

>>22291437
That actually makes perfect sense. It’s like the perfect storm of F Gardner being a lucky retard.

>>22291429
https://www.google.com/search?q=re+trailer+trash

>>22291426
Not really. Re:Trailer Trash developed its audience almost entirely independent of 4chan and had no real involvement with /wg/ or the community as a whole.

>>22291418
I see what you mean. But why not philosophy? Do you only mean no philosophy that is reactionary? I can't really write humor besides the occasional wit. I try to reach for drama and spiritual depth but I wouldnt dare repackage a view without developing it.

>>22291421
I’ve never read it so I couldn’t say
>>22291436
A 4chan book would just be the typical detached ironic book that seems all pervasive with amateur (and professional) writers today, but with an edgelord twist. I see it as a cart or horse first type of thing. I would like to see an anon write a book that is a trendsetter for /lit/ writers, not an anon trying to mimic /lit/. I’m not a writer nor do I have a desire to be but I would really like to support an anon and see someone succeed, but many writers here make it hard. If Mike fucking Ma or BAP is the goal for many anons, they are fucked. Write on the side and don’t worry about making money, you won’t. Stash away earlier books in case you do make it then you can just reach back and keep “new” material coming forth (I’ve always thought songwriters do this a lot). Write a lot. Many great writers consider themselves to be not good writers but their compulsion to write eventually brings forth fruit.

>>22291457
No one is interested in 4chan philosophy. What is 4chan known for over the past 5 years? Donald Trump, pedos and Qanon? Who reads a losers manifesto looking for insight?
And yes, comedy is difficult to write. It’s the ultimate filter of poor writers. You can phone in a drama scene and no one will notice. Phone in comedy and you’ll have people close the book cringing. Comedy has the lowest lows, but also the highest highs. Another reason why it’s the perfect genre for our theoretical best author to write.

These threads are fucking dumb. Aspire towards becoming original intellectuals or creating great art for the 21st century rather than circlejerking about a secret club on a website

>>22291427
not really

>>22291466
Judging by >>22291283 F Gardner seems to be the funniest unintentional comedy writer of all time. Every time I see a screenshot of a F Gardner novel I immediately start keking.

>>22291459
I have two other manuscripts stashed away right now and finishing my first up. There are some writers here I like but it's not the meme writers. Hope to make something strong one day and although I believe in my work I accept that my first novel won't be a five star. I write every day now at least.

>>22291483
Honestly, if any of us are going to hit breakout success, it will be Gardner.
All it will take is one video exposé from some zoomertuber like Turkey Tom to have him be the next Neil Breen.

>>22291478
Oh god. The serious reviews of Gardner books makes me laugh even harder.

>>22291489
If you want to be like Gardner I pity you. He is a clown. If he breaks out it will be a break out because he I laughed at

>>22291466
No, I didnt mean "4chan" philosophy. I meant philosophy in general.
>>22291470
Read the thread

>>22291459
>I would like to see an anon write a book that is a trendsetter for /lit/ writers, not an anon trying to mimic /lit/.
I think it needs a few more releases of major books by /lit/ adjacent writers. Even I'm working on one slowly, but it will probably be another 1.5 or 2 years before it's ready to hit the ad space. Maybe by then we'll have started to get a firm foundation and stories to aspire to. Like any writer I'd hope mine is good enough to join that wave.

>>22291490
indeed...ripe for parody

>>22291478
Lol. Imagine writing a review like this about the Tommy Wiseau of literature.

>>22291497
Neil Breen is selling 360p DVDs for $600 a pop. That will be Gardner soon.

>>22291498
I know, but to a normie, philosophy in a 4chan book is immediately relegated to being a joke or so offensive that it should not be taken seriously.
In order to respect someone’s philosophy you must respect the person preaching it. That’s why Jordan Peterson fell off so rapidly. It’s hard to take a pill popper’s outlook on life seriously.

>>22291511
>if you are writing for money you are fucked. I don’t know who Neil Breen is but if he’s selling $600 CD’s he’s a grifter. Be a writer where you can be proud of what you wrote, not a conman. Gardner damaged this board’s reputation more than he helped it.

>>22291511
Consider that such a book does not have to be the first book the author writes, and can cultivate a reputation through other stories first. Part of what pushes people away is the feeling of didactic lit. If an author demonstrates that he can explore an idea without forcing the reader to make only one conclusion, I feel that readership may more readily give him the benefit of the doubt.

>>22291497
Gardner’s a clown because he’s oblivious to everything. I read his book about gorillas. I was about a man who gets drunk to break into his own work. He literally just goes outside in downtown Chicago and talks to himself for the first chapters and eventually passes out because he can’t take off a gorilla costume he’s wearing. It was absolutely baffling. It was a 200 + page book about a man day-drinking and investigating the existence of gorillas and it ended with him getting kidnapped and pulled into an even stranger mystery with some schizo woman. I’m not going to describe it any further than that because it got too retarded for words. Gardner evidently thinks he’s the next Stephen King.

>>22291516
I didn’t mean to greentext this. No clue how that happened

Be honest, besides Gardner's book have any of you bought another book written here? No of course not. Because Gardner is the only one you're willing to shell $10 on, hence making him the greatest /lit/ author of all.

>>22291527
So he writes good goyslop. Call of the Arcade is probably the most fun I’ve ever had reading a book suggested from this board.

>>22291536
I guess there’s some truth to this. With Gardner I at least know it’s going to be a wild and retarded ride.

>>22291536
i've bought (and reviewed) 4
none of them yours, frank

The thing with Gardner is the whole so bad it’s good doesn’t work with books because reading is an active medium. If you think his books are good or entertaining you’re probably retarded. Not even retarded in the 4chan sense but like shrieking Benjy Compson retarded. Unfortunately his whole clown act has hurt the reputation of other writers here by mere association

>>22291508
Chris-Chan would be a more accurate comparison. One of the books is a Pokémon knockoff in the Gardner-verse.

Here's all the /wg/ pastebin authors' blurbs:

>Retribution Engine
The world's great heroes have slaughtered one another for the ideals of their countries. Amidst the post-war struggle for survival, a towering figure emerges from the Exclusion Zone. She aids a trio of disgraced soldiers in crossing the border to their homeland, and soon takes up the mantle of a beast-slayer in one of the last sovereign city-states remaining. But tensions from the war remain, and soon trouble comes knocking at the gates...
>Son of the Sun
In a beautiful and prosperous land, great cities are falling one by one to rapacious barbarians, jealous of their ancient wealth and glory. Without the emperor that once united them, these fractious city-states are proving easy prey to their fierce enemies. But in the midst of this turmoil, a citizen of one of the first cities receives a sign from heaven and chooses to make a stand against those who would destroy his world.
>Catalogue of Haunted Houses
Bunch of short stories
>Infinite Money Heist
The most advanced videogame in the world is so popular that the in-game gold is a recognized currency on Earth, but that does not mean it was programmed particularly well. Some of the sentient NPCs have just discovered an exploit in the market and it might just be time to buy their world back from the players. If they can pull it off that is.
>Fedbook
A privately contracted informant arrives at a small-town liberal arts university in the high desert of Wyoming. His job? Observe and report on a group of nihilist extremists calling themselves the Crusaders. If only the company paid him a little more. As the line between "terrorist" and "buddy" blurs, powerful and sinister forces descend upon the town, intent on building a stage for an act of violent political theater. The informant must decide which he values more: his life or his soul.
>The Emily Project
Nobody likes having their plans disrupted. Caleb's plan was simple, to live alone, collect toys, and be on the internet every waking moment, as he has done for the past thirty-three years. No dates, no friends, no experiences.
Perfect...
...Until the android Emily entered his life.

>>22291559
>Last Call
Former corporate lawyer Kevin Little didn’t expect to become a groundskeeper at a golf course in his midlife. But neither did he expect a life of violent alcoholism, getting disbarred, entering a recovery program, and losing his beloved wife and children.

While working at the golf course, Kevin discovers unattended young children at every corner. They roam freely in basement corridors, closets, and behind locked doors. Kevin can’t figure out where they come from and who they are, but, more than that, they are a painful reminder of his own estranged family, the loving memories of whom still haunt him hour by hour... Kevin risks losing his only remaining possessions—his sanity, his sobriety, his will to live, and his last hope for recovery.
>Xenos Depths
Europa has always been a treacherous, frozen moon fraught with untold danger both on and under the ice. For three individuals in particular, though, the icy globe becomes something more as they run from their pasts, their presents, and their futures. The local wildlife, colony residents, and sinister off-worlders conspire to upset the careful balance that has sustained Europa colony for decades, all while testing the conviction and character of three unlikely heroes. The fate of Europa, and perhaps the entire solar system, hangs in the balance!
>Salvation on Peril Island
In the year 1983, a cargo plane crashes onto a desert island, somewhere in the Caribbean. The four survivors know their priorities well: find shelter, find food and fresh water, get rescued, and, above all, find the mysterious missing cargo. But, as time passes by, these priorities wane, as all of them seem to be having too good of a time. As they get to know each other better, they start re-examining their whole lives and the paths that led them to this island.
>Eggplant
Arda is a writer covering the LA art scene...
Things quickly become stranger on the island; lunatics, blood-rituals and a deadly fungus all threaten Arda's quest for the perfect interview with a killer. Art and life seemingly mimic each other in a competition to be the strangest, as everything Arda believed previously about creativity is challenged by what she fears in mankind. In the end, she must choose between artistic integrity, and escape from the island.
>Wake
Can Riley shield his loved ones from the chilling secrets that Aerodyne has concealed from the world? Or will he succumb to the same dark fate that befell his father? Brace yourself for a heart-pounding race against time as Riley navigates a treacherous labyrinth of deception, betrayal, and survival. In this battle between light and shadow, one man's resilience will be tested, and the consequences of his choices will ripple through the very fabric of his existence.

>>22291564
>Mystery of a Real Live Dead Person
Come with him on a journey through the seamy underbelly of one of America's least cities, as he confronts anarchy, corruption, giant lizards, beautiful women, unhinged vigilantes, irreconcilable duelists, organized religion, taxation, and a teenage runaway, uncovering not only the brutal foundation of our system of law, but the nature of God Himself.

And through it all, even in the darkest moments, he steadfastly manages to avoid getting paid what he's worth.
>Egregore
...The mansion of Tim's design is an alluring, Gothic monstrosity of tapered glass and dark stone that Saundra is eager to call home. But shortly after moving in, Tim disappears, swallowed into the bowels of his creation. And now, something is swelling in the places he once occupied: a hunger that haunts the darkness beyond locked doors, a malice that can smell Saundra's fear through the layers of opulent woodwork and wrought iron.

With grief blurring the line between reality and hallucination, Saundra must make a choice between sanity or the lives of those she loves most.

Lets be honest, none of them seem all that interesting.

Posting any page from any random Gardner books is sheer comedy gold.

Kudos to them for finishing a book, and God knows I'll never even write one chapter, but none of them seem interesting enough to throw $10. And they all do a terrible job at marketing. Some of them I never even heard of.

>>22291569
Maybe I should post a storytime

>>22291569
Imagine reading this. Maybe it is a type of outsider art but it’s not worthwhile. The type of person who reads a full book of this and laughs throughout is the type of person who would keel over like Chrysippus after watching two cartoon characters go back and forth hitting each other over the head with oversized mallets

If this thread has proven anything it’s that F Gardner isn’t the hero we need but he’s the hero we fucking deserve.

>>22291605

>>22291511
>That’s why Jordan Peterson fell off so rapidly
It's because he became a broken record complaining about wokeness. Wokeness is a trap; everyone knows it's retarded, but dunking on how retarded it is has a short lifespan for how entertaining, funny or insightful it is. After a while you're just complaining about retards being retarded.
His early work still holds up, but he hasn't evolved or added anything new.

>>22291605
If F Gardner is a loser why does everyone always talk about him? Based on his YouTube videos it he seems rich and happy. Is it just envy here? Everyone here clearly knows who he is and has read his books based on what I can tell.

>inb4 it’s all just F Gardner

The number of posters in this thread has gone up and there has been constant threads for the past couple of years on a daily basis so that refutes that. Remember F Gardner literally has gotten to the front page of Reddit before in the past solely based on controversy alone. He’s doing something right that no one else seem to be able to mimic and he doesn’t seem to care what anyone thinks.

>>22291720
He’s a meme and it’s quite sad that a lolcow is the greatest literary mind that this board can produce

>>22291725
That’s one way of looking at it. Another way of looking at it is that an antisemetic schizophrenic being the most famous author to come out of 4chan is extremely fitting and feels like fate.

>>22291736
This. On Gardner’s youtube channel he actually has a rant about the jews that’s over an hour long. It’s one of his most viewed videos other than the ones where he talks about how he thinks gorillas, outer space, and Kim Jong Un are all make believe. He is utterly detached from reality and lives in his own little world. The fact that he is a meme here isn’t even the strangest thing about this guy’s life. I remember people posting before that he once ran for mayor of chicago or something. He seems to just do whatever he wants and lives atop a chicago skyscraper. He is like a living cartoon character.

You are ALL overanalyzing Gardner. As someone who has actually read Horror's Call I can explain the appeal. To the anons who haven't read any of Gardner's books outside of screenshots they might've seen memed and spammed on here you have no idea just how weird Horror's Call gets.

The plot-twists in much of the books are the weirdest I've encountered in fiction by a large margin. Sam is a really unique villain and is in most of the books and the books with him seem to be the better ones. It's ironic that he is not in Call of the Crocodile though. I don't even think Call of the Crocodile is one of the best ones.

Ouroboros was Gardner's best book. That is a genuinely great book and I would honestly recommend it to anyone that likes fiction. Some of the subplots in Horror's Call go in bizarre directions and are hit or miss. I don't think F Gardner is the next Shakespeare but I have never not had an enjoyable experience reading one of his works.

If one single book is to ever be read from Gardner's list of books it's Ouroboros which is criminally underrated by comparison. The pacing, big reveal and everything in that one book is all really spot-on and is a unique mystery that encompasses the best of all the books he's done.

>>22291746
>I remember people posting before that he once ran for mayor of chicago or something.

Holy crap. I completely forgot about this till right now. It's as if every retarded rumor about Gardner somehow always turns out to be true.

>>22292080
iirc Gardner has talked about fucking trannies before in one of his vids

>>22292084
Because he has a hot shemale wife and is living the /lit/ dream. Men want to be him. Women (male) want to be with him. Seriously though the guy has retard luck and always ends up getting his way even if it doesn’t make sense why. I’m beginning to think he must be using magic at this point because it’s beyond absurd. He even uses his real name and broadcasts where he lives and doesn’t appear to give a flying fuck about getting doxxed or anything that would worry a normal rational human.

I heard (so I have no evidence) that it was a copyright strike filed by Gardner over the cover.
What a wuss and a bully.
Parody is LEGAL. The Supreme Court established that in 1994.

I wonder if G. Farmer tried to counter the strike with that.

Since you're so sure of who anons are, why not pick who wrote Call Of United Airlines, and respond with a parody of that anon's work?

I’m not even in the server anymore tbqh, I just feel really bad that you had to leave and I think Unreal really needs you

Gardner?

>>22298573
Nah James Krake

>>22298463
I just hate that things ended up like this and I’m truly sorry—I want to help make things right if I can. Please consider going back to Unreal. You brought a lot to the project and I think it really needs you. It would be a huge waste for you to just walk away from everything. And if you don’t want to go back to Unreal then at least consider contributing to &amp—Hartley is really interested in collaborating with you and would definitely let you guestedit an issue or contribute however you wanted, plus he told me that Zulu (who is now helping to edit &amp) also wants you to come back. Hartley is also looking to release a &amp Standards anthology in the fall and would like to have you on board, since he was a big fan of the work you did as editor of Tales 1. Hartley is on Discord at lampbylit if you want to talk to him, or you can join the &amp server if you want. https://discord.gg/hrqvUdVYXA

No, but his daddy might. Apparently Frank Sr. has been spamming danbo with DMCA claims against &amp and the Incel guy to stop them from running ads.

>>22307172
H O L Y B A S E D !
I didn’t expect him to actually take my DMCA suggestion in the &amp thread seriously. Big respect Frank.

>>22307172
Jesus Christ, Frank is actually mentally ill.

>>22307218
Frank is an unironic genius here. No one on 4chan can contest DMCAs because it requires you to fully dox yourself. He’s actually invincible. He can DMCA anything that you guys put out and you can’t do anything about it. Even if you do come together, dox yourselves and come after him, nothing will happen to Frank. DMCA trolls are the most protected fuckers on the planet.
Genuinely impressive Frank. I mean that. I am actually impressed.

>>22307249
Anyone can take the L on doxxing and then it won't stand up if it goes to court. It's a patent inconvenience and nothing else.

>>22307253
Wrong. He can do this to anyone and everyone who posts any sort of creative work on any platform with a DMCA policy (every website with more than 200 actives users). Those who are being contested need to dox themselves. It won’t be one guy taking the fall for you guys. Each person who is DMCA’d will need to dox themselves to Frank in order for their content to not be automatically removed.

>>22307258
And, if you guys do contest, it will not go to court. There is a get out of jail free card for DMCA trolls where they can simply accept your counter-notice. You have no recourse from there. But of course, that counter notice is a legal document that requires you to fully dox yourself to Frank. So by DMCAing you there is literally no risk to Frank at all, and if any of you do contest him, he just doxes you.
Like I said, it’s genius. Good job Frank. You actually won.

>>22307258
This is giving me 2013 Youtube flashbacks. How is DMCA still this fucked?

>>22307276
Because it was designed with the express purpose of allowing bigger companies to scattershot no names with as little effort as possible. No one gives a fuck if those no names use that law against each other in the most petty ways imaginable.
But yes, this is exactly like mid 2010s YouTube. If I remember correctly, this is exactly how people managed to dox Quintonreviews.

I hope Unreal does retaliate. Frank has shown an insane amount of intelligence with this DMCA tactic. He's fucking them into the dirt while breaking no laws. The same tactic doesn't work against him since he's already doxed and anyone who does DMCA him is automatically doxing themselves to Frank. Any retaliation that Unreal could muster would either be extremely illegal or completely ineffective.
Frank has unironically won and no amount of seethe will change that. All he has to do is keep filing DMCAs.

>>22311773
Hey Frank

>>22311773
DMCA abuse can lead to criminal liability.

>>22312002
In what world? You could maybe attempt a civil claim against him, but good luck with that seeing as how he'll have his bigshot lawyer father protecting him while you guys rely on self representation.

>>22312062
I don’t think you realize who posts here…

>>22312126
Just imagine being Frank's mother. "You watch what you post on that 4chan. Your father and I don't want to be characters in Farmer's next book!"

>>22312062
>my daddy is rich and you are poor!
Christ what a way for a 35 year old man to carry himself on a forum for children. Frank is like Francis from the pee wee Herman movie

>>22312062
His father isn't a bigshot lawyer, he's just a regular lawyer. Criminally corrupt, but also 90 years old. Plus, the other "doxxed" figure on this board is a felonious crack addict who isn't even American so I'm sure this is a bear worth poking.

>>22312165
Frank knows Tae Kwon Doe he’s not afraid of any criminals. He knows the law is on his side.

>>22312173
But James Krake is strong and handsome and tough

>>22312177
Damn James Krake is a drug addict now no wonder he just got fired. Who’s next.

>>22312182
James Krake getting fired has nothing to do with you Gardner he stepped down to focus on his writing and travel the world. People actually want to meet him unlike you Gardner.

James Krake quit his job to write shitty books. Guess we can’t all be rich and successful like F. Gardner.

James Krake is handsome and traveling the world and rich. His books are better anyway Gardner doesn’t take it seriously like I do.

F Gardner already did that years ago and outsold you.

>>22312126
>>22312148
>>22312165
Crabs upset that they lost.

I heard from a trustworthy source that F Gardner never recovered from Tales outselling him. He released four books in a month that failed to unseat it and he’s been trying to sink them since.

>>22312148
Frank reminds me of that one kid we all knew from elementary school whose parents waited way too late to have kids and then didn't want to admit that they'd birthed an autist. So instead of getting him counseling to help him fit in with his peers, they just bought him a shitload of multiplayer video games that he didn't want to share and threw him lavish birthday parties at Chuck-E-Cheese that no one else ever went to. He's like one of those old /r9k/ tendie meme stories.

I actually kinda hope, for his sake, that Frank Gardner never becomes self-aware. It would fucking crush him to even slightly consider his life from an outside perspective.

>>22312385
The man has an 8 figure inheritance in his future. That’s far more than you can say. He could buy any of your high school crushes and fuck their brains out. Maybe if your McDonald’s manager lets you take a sick day he’ll set a little stool beside the bed and let you watch.

>>22312517
I can recognize you in almost every devolved Gardner thread. Your posting is interesting because it always makes me wonder what kind of mind would be so cuckolded into literally cheer leading for a pseud on the internet. You're either a contrarian taken to the natural extreme, having recognized through these recent scandals that nobody is left to like Gardner anymore. Or you're just Frank.

>>22312528
Gardner did literally nothing wrong. You can hate his writing all you want but he’s clearly in the right here. You just blindly hate him and aren’t willing to see reason. You’re so blind that you’re accusing me of being the 25+ people who correctly see Gardner as the hero in this situation.

>>22312542
No. I'm correctly identifying you as one poster. Carry on.

>>22312557
Keep thinking that. I’m sure it will make you feel better when that crushing realization that Frank is living ten times the life you are comes creeping back in like it always does.
Frank was within his rights to throw a takedown notice at &amp and Farmer. If he wasn’t then it would have already been reinstated, but it isn’t because Frank is morally and legally correct. You being a bitch won’t change that.

>>22312557
NTA but Gardner is crushing you guys so hard that it’s difficult not to cheer him on. I don’t want either of you to win but his recent escalations have been genuinely praiseworthy. I want you both to go down in flames and this another step towards that reality.

>>22312587
You know the ads immediately went back up, right? And, just like gardners actual books, no more than 10 people would’ve read that parody, and only five would’ve bought the thing. Gardner’s not actually doing anything except making himself look like an asshole. The renaissance just carries on. Almost like e drama doesn’t matter.

>>22312598
And anyone who sees this edrama comes to the conclusion that you are both imbeciles who are not to be taken seriously. It’s a win-win for /lit/. Cancer killing cancer.

>>22312614
As dumb as Frank is, this DMCA arc is probably the smartest thing he’s done. Makes me think his father came up with the idea.

>>22312614
I’m a person seeing this e drama and I’ve come to no conclusion other than Gardner continues to be a nuisance three years on.
I half believe that the farmer book was never even for sale and also, I’m seeing everyone’s ads on my phone right now. Wishful thinking on your part I’m afraid.

>>22312614
>you are both imbeciles who are not to be taken seriously
This. I don’t give a single shit about any /lit/ author. The sooner they kill each other through infighting, the sooner I don’t need to see their faggot shill attempts anymore. Good riddance. Hope you all fuck with each other so badly that half of you are murdered and the other half is in prison. It’s the only suitable retribution for the mental anguish you’ve inflicted on me and other innocent anons with threads like these.

Krake is the best stop whining Gardner or I’ll put you in my next book

James Krake is handsome

Swear a new /lit/ author joins the fray every week. Surely one of them breaks through eventually. There should be a betting pool for the first author to hit 100 Amazon reviews. I’m betting on myself in all honesty.

>>22312650
This is why I thought Call Of United Airlines was so enjoyable. It was literally just the /lit/ authors killing each other lol

thank you...i enjoyed the piece too...it turned out great.

>>22312869
Shut up Woolston

>>22312690
If that happens it's not gonna be because of anything /lit/ does. Almost everyone here who has read it fully endorses Mixtape Hyperborea as genuine market-level literary fiction, and it doesn't even get any serious discussion here on /lit/. Mixtape could be a real sensation, but if you tried to go start a thread about it everyone would just assume that it was Adem sucking himself off, because of the antics of Gardner and the only two people in the world gullible enough to believe that he was famous.

>>22313089
You’re straining yourself trying to understand unfunny discord in jokes. Don’t bother. Just filter the words Unreal and &amp and save yourself the mental anguish.

>>22313157
That’s because everyone here who sucks off another author only does so to buddy-up to them for personal gain.
Adem is a great example. &amp 16 had his excerpt in a near unreadable state due to fuck ups in copy&paste. Not a single person noticed until 17 had been out for days. It took over a month for someone to actually read Adem’s story despite the praise that was heaped upon it in the threads.
Every bit of praise you receive from another author here is completely and totally two-faced and self-serving.

>>22313167
Mantelpiece came out at the same time and it was unanimously denounced by everyone who read it, despite mostly being &amp alumni. The &amp reviews video for Tales of the Unreal was full of harsh words for over half the stories. What's probably going on here is less a bunch of idiots thinking they can circlejerk their way to success and more like a bunch of wannabe beats trying to get early adopter cred.

>>22313200
No. It’s a circlejerk. One or two exceptions do not shatter the rule.
Shitting on the truly awful does not excuse the fact that most of these people are willing heap praise upon a book that they’ve never read just because they want every author that rises above a 3/10 to feel safe and appreciated around them. I’d argue that the few putdowns that they do are only done as a light form of troll shielding.

>>22313167
Stop being such a fucking faggot. I just went back and reread the excerpt of Mixtape Hyperborea in &amp, and it was by no means in an unreadable state. There was ONE (1) instance where a short section was accidentally pasted in twice, and a few minor typos—that’s all. It was perfectly comprehensible. It’s likely that other readers noticed the error and just didn’t bother to comment on it, or had forgotten about it by the time they finished reading.

>>22313157
Let’s be honest, Mixtape Hyperborea has mediocre writing and panders to the 4chan demographic of mildly disaffected young-ish white dudes who are nostalgic for their adolescent days. It’s by no means market-level literary fiction—it reads like YA. It’s unfunny and unremarkable. If you believe that it has the potential to be a sensation, you’re either extremely poorly-read and ignorant or genuinely delusional.

>>22313239
>I just went back and reread the excerpt of Mixtape Hyperborea in &amp, and it was by no means in an unreadable state.
They fixed it the day it was found you retard. All you're telling me is that they didn't fix it entirely. Guess it was too much work to actually read Adem's story.

>>22313247
You’re wrong, the editor didn’t fix it. I saved a PDF of the issue to Google Drive when it first released, and I just compared that PDF to the current version that’s on the site, it’s exactly the same. The editor said that he would fix it if it was really that bad, but it looks like he never actually got around to doing it.

As I said though, the pasting error was minor and barely impacted readability. You’re making a big stink over something trivial. Keep in mind that &amp isn’t a professional magazine with a team of paid staff who can go through it with a fine-toothed comb and check for errors—it’s the passion project of a single guy, plus a couple of people who help him out occasionally. You’re not paying for the product, so you’re not entitled to perfection. It’s absurd of you to act all grievously offended over minor errors in the magazine when you’re literally enjoying the product of someone else’s work entirely free of charge.

I didn't do that a single time you dysgenic fuck. Stop being so wounded that you have to put words in my mouth. &amp has always been a half edited meme. It's embarrassing, sure, but I'm not expecting anything different. That's not what this is about and you know it.
My entire gripe is that people are giving these stories 10/10s when they haven't even read them. It's pure circle jerk, just like this thread is. The idea that 80+ people read Adem's story and didn't realize that the fucking title was spelled wrong is so fucking ridiculous that I can almost understand why you felt the need to deflect to something that was never brought up.

No one in Unreal hates or thinks about Krake as much as this board pretends they do

I'm sure it really stings for you. One guy ran one ad for his one book and within a few days he was already more popular than Horror's Call. He didn't embarrass himself by pretending to be his own fan or pay anyone to pretend like they read his work. He didn't have his dad file any bogus legal motions. He didn't go around trying to handicap other authors and then simpering for their attention. They all chose to read it because it actually appealed to them. And then everyone involved gave it some honest reviews and moved on with their life. Adem didn't try to capitalize on it by endlessly shilling himself as the "breakout star of the /lit/ renaissance" or whatever idiotic shit you would have come up with if you'd gotten that much legitimate praise. His fans didn't go on a rabid shilling campaign all over /lit/ to make him famous just because he's a writer from 4chan, like you apparently think people should/would do for books they like.

That's the funny part. All of your cheap potshots have done less damage to the reputation of any other author than your genuine efforts to promote your own work. Everyone involved in Unreal and &amp writes because they understand what makes reading enjoyable and they want to be people who write enjoyable stories. They all have jobs and lives. Not a single one of us, aside from Woolston, is banking on this as their future and legacy, we're just trying to find an audience among people to whom we can relate. That's why you can shittalk and plagiarize and try to buy us out, and it will never be more than a minor annoyance.
