Pynchon's most recent was published in 2009. I think that's pretty of the moment, as far as publishing goes. We're probably nearing the end of his moment, granted.

Eh, they suit the purpose of the strip. Literary, all still writing and being published, fairly well known and respected (rightly or wrongly in Franzen's case).

May Tao Lin would be a better punchline for /lit/?

It saves a marginal amount of time for everyone for someone to make a template, though. True, it's sort of unnecessary, but it's undeniable that it is for the greater good, however marginal.

You're being serious? People actually care about some template and the definition of OC? That's your point.

no my point is people care when others think they're doing a good service by patronising everyone in provided a template that's piss easy to make. and its not just in this thread but of couse i can't show you since 4chan doesn't back store anything. . i just can't for the life of me figure out how you think it was even necessary to delete those two lines and call it a template. come on, man, you is just being stupid
