/lit/ - Literature

Spiritual sequel??? Like with ghosts?

>>6722335
>around this time last year we wrote TLOTIAT

>>6722335
Uh, it kind of is considered complete shit though.

>>6722575
yes

Miami was a blunder tbh

and whoever wrote Kolsti, fuck you nigger

"tundras were a mistake"

>>6722586
Seriously

what happened with 3? I did some major editorial work with the first 60 or 70 pages and when I left it was readable up to that point.

>>6722708
fuck knows

>>6722647
>Haunted by the literati ghosts, Wilfred Thurmbly must perform an unusual home-exorcism-via-pen. Can he outwrite the literary greats and save his soul? Will he himself become a ghost? Will there be hundreds of tangential interludes? The answer to all of these questions and many more about the human condition could be answered in The Spiritual Sequel.

>>6722767
Is that a real book synopsis? Because I'd write at least 3 or 4 pages for that /lit/ project if it isn't.

>>6722782
i just made it up but i would also write some of it if people are actually interested

>>6722816

would contribute.

lets fucking do it

We need more Stirner if it's going to be spooky.

>>6722697
I came up with the title, and yes it was
>tfw your pretty decent jokey prose was replaced with shit about moot
it went pretty good for a few days and then a bunch of faggots jumped in

>>6722335
It is considered to be completely shit. And there was already an attempt at writing a third one like a month ago.

i would be willing to if it wasn't all just /lit/ memes.

>>6723200
the Odyssey is just greek memes tbh lad. Anyway only /lit/ is going to read it.

>>6722994
The twist is the protagonist is Stirner

>>6723229
No, the Odyssey is about greek memes. Tundra is people spouting verbatim memes and thinking they are great for getting there before others. You can have memes, but you need more than that.

>>6723088
Did that dude just give up after he realized how much it'll cost to actually print that shit?

>>6723300
all tundra books were printed

>>6722335
"Green Lin"

the touching love story of the homo-erotic relationship between john green and tao lin

>>6723318
Even the third one? I want a copy.

>>6722693
Kolsti is actually the best

We could write a play.

>>6723423
upboated

>>6723423
this

>>6723423
it should be in verse, as all proper patrician drama is. the only issue is that 90% of /lit/, i'd approximate, is completely ignorant of verse and how it works.

of course, we could always write a play in non metrical dialogue, but that'd be taking the pleb way out. if we're okay with that then so be it. it's going to suck ass either way.

>>6723423
>What We Spook About When We Spook About Spooks

What if we wrote a book that is to Ulysses what Ulysses is to The Odyssey. Like chapters in the book are loosely based on scenes in Ulysses.

>>6723506
/lit/ isn't focused enough to pull anything like that off as a collaborative effort.

>>6723506
>What if we wrote a book that is to Ulysses what Ulysses is to The Odyssey.
Will Self beat you to it with Umbrella.

We should extend Richard McBeef with a teenager character.

>>6723523
Vtech was like what, seven years ago now? No one would care about that. Maybe we should adapt My Twisted World into a play?

>>6723533
A play based on Elliot Rodgers

loony....... mad

there was a sequel

>>6723544
Yeah but its dogshit, I think we should do a spiritual sequel instead of a direct one

>>6722767
I like this one

>>6723548
Dude.....the original was dogshit, that was kind of the entire purpose. What the fuck are you talking about?

>>6723558
The original has actual direction to it, characters like anon, dakota, cosmo, bill, nigel, nigel and harry all had proper stories that were intertwined in fun ways the book is also filled with hilarious one shots or smaller storylines like the ghost and emperor #%. Miami is just bad

>>6723558
He's just new as fuck and too retarded to realize /v/ ruins everything. Ignore him.

Which one had the Red King book reviews?

we should write it soon

>>6722767
would also contribute

>>6723533
That's just awesome

Where can you download these?

How about we take all the TLOTIAT sequels and make something legible out of them for publication?

>>6724878
theres nothing good in them, miami was made over 1 fucking day

>>6722767
So is this happening, can someone post a link?

>>6723533
Nah, the virginia tech shooter wrote a play before he chimped out. Would seem to similar to that.

>>6722693
>>6723389
I thought it never saw the light of day.

anyone have the miami cover??

>>6725278

>>6725347
Was there a kolsi cover?

>>6726276
Rather than starting some new book, someone should just finalise the material from Kolsti and Tundra 3.

Here's the Kolsti book (sans the footnotes, no big loss):

http://www.scribd.com/doc/263266929/Authoritarian-in-the-Everglades

Guys please refresh my mind.
So far I remember these books:
Legacy of the Tundra (done and published, I think there was some fag who said the published version wasn't the legit one but I don't know)
Kolsti (never participated in it so I know nothing)
Legacy of Quagga or something like that (it died but I don't know if it's still done)

Were there more attempts to write meme books?

>>6726309
There are other sequels to Legacy. The miami version and the tokyo version were at least attempted. I don't know if they were finished.

>>6726309
There was also:

- Tundra 2: Miami, which got published on Lulu:

- Tundra 3: Tokyo Drift - this one got abandoned, just like Kolsti and Quagga. Here are its googledoc links:

>>6722597
lol pleb
It's considered the greatest work of post-modernist fiction to ever grace the glow of our screens.

>>6726320
lel
was Miami done?
I need to read that shit.

>>6726327
Don't waste your money, here's the PDF:

>>6726338
Well, it's definitely words.

>>6726338
thanks nig

>>6726355
Probably the highest praise it's ever received.

The whole thing was done in a day. Probably the reason why it actually got finished, unlike stuff like Kolsti and Tundra 3 which were left open so long that everyone eventually stopped caring.

Reading Tundra for the first time. What should I expect?

>>6726403
laughs, but for all the wrong reasons

i actually got the eBook and convinced my book-club to read that...lulz were had, from me anyway

>>6726403
>What should I expect?

>>6726403
Memes so stale you forgot they existed (or never knew to begin with).

>>6726403

4chan in book form.

>the only /lit/ book that isn't considered to be completely shit

I wrote part of it, and I consider it complete shit.

>>6722586
>2000 was forty years ago

>>6726485
its still significantly better than anything that followed it

>>6726600
Christ's sake, shut up. It was just a fun way to kill a few hours. It was garbage.

>>6726614
its still significantly better than anything that followed it

>>6722647
>tfw we will see spooky ghost agin

cant wait

>>6726418
>being part of a book club other than /lit/

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>6722335
It would be only good if someone removed all the "ebin memes" and all the "RANDUM XDDD" stuff from it. Stuff like : "And then Justine got skullfucked by James Joyce and Žižek shouted: THAT?S PURE IDEOLOGY!" etc. OK we get it you guys are so le randum XDDDDD like pengiun of d00m mixed with David Lynch and Džidžek!!!

Fucking loserds. Wouldn't you rather write something that doesn't read like a fucking #FORTUNE thread you worthless pieces of shit? Tundra was shit but we could actually write something interesting if we eliminate the EBIN MEEM scum and the absurdist Pengiun stochastix XDDDD

>>6726924
i think they compliment the actual good bits quite well, a lot of great sections in the book wouldn't make any sense without the stupid bullshit in between them

>>6728085
complement

>>6722647
Please make this happen

there was nothing more soothing than writing the first book.
i completely handed over any qualm i had that practicaly stopped me from ever finishing any project.
the whole process was therapeutic and i miss the laugh so i support attempting to make a new one.

Why not write with a direction instead of literally making "/b/ presents: /lit/: the book"? Tundra has some genuinely funny parts, but you have to drag yourself through a lot of shit to get there. It's just not worth it. If a book project could be divided into sections with a central theme or story, and people wrote in accordance to that instead of LMAO HE MASTERBAITED AND THERE WAS SEAMEN EVERYWHERE, something at least mediocre could turn out.

>>6728215
It's happening

noice

guys let's start we need more people!! litwritesabook.com
