kek, I should have used that instead.

We did it 90% reddit, 10% /lit/!

Also, you can use the promo code "LULURC" to get 25% off and free shipping, just like you could for Hypersphere.

Uhhh, don't you think we should have waited a little more before publishing?
I mean, the LULURC would last a little while yet.
I mean, we need to edit some of this shit and add a little more other shit don't we?
I can see unapproved changes on the Google Doc right now, like c'mon man.

>>7566187
Why is there constantly some faggot capitalizing off the collected shitposts of anonymous?
We JUST made a book, and then we just made one before that. You're clearly just making money off this you fucking shill, on the same tier of pathetic as "Epic Win For Anonymous!"
>but I'm not.
>no really, I'm not!

>>7566285
I've gone through the PDF and made sure there aren't any fuck ups.

As for adding more things, it's already well over the size I intended it to be (no more than 100 pages).

The Google Doc is now filled with a bunch of stuff that won't be in the book.

>>7566294
I'll be sure to prove to you that I'm not making any money from this, and tat all profits are going to the charities of your choice.

>>7566298
Wow you're a cunt. I hope your body is torn apart by wild hyenas and you burn in the deepest pit in the 6th circle of hell.

>yfw there is some autistic anon out there who owns every single one of these shit books

>>7566347

Who would have ever thought three years ago when this board's first page barely changed due to how slow the traffic was, would become one of the biggest havens of shit posting thanks to reddit and /pol/?

>>7566334
This. The entire thing reeks of embarassment and the publisher trying to grab them sweet golds.
Whoever is responsible can go fuck themselves and find a real job instead of making money off 4chan.

>>7566357

Into the trash.

>>7566358
What about the fact you're lying and full of shit and have no other reason to put the time into getting this published other than to reap the harvest?

>>7566366
The point is that I didn't want to have anything too big, and that's because of the fact that a 750 page book just released.
Also, I just lowered the price to the lowest it'll let me go ($10.30 AUD), I realize now that $15 is a bit too much for a 140 book.

>>7566374
I repeat, I am not going to be taking any of the profit from this book. It's all going to charity, why are you so stubborn about this?

>>7566187
Was hypersphere renamed

>>7566374
he sure seems to enjoy the ego trip he's on

>>7566387
No, Hypersphere is still Hypersphere.

>>7566387
more accurare to say it was re-edited. reddited, that is.

>>7566390
You guys are cranking these out like crazy. Legend was a neato meme but these are all recondite tomes of absolute shit and the quintessence of "no discernible talent"

>>7566382
>I repeat, I am not going to be taking any of the profit from this book. It's all going to charity, why are you so stubborn about this?
Because you haven't proved it and you're just typing things

>>7566406
the last chapter looks like it was written by someone who is actually assburgers

>>7566432
Well how am I supposed to prove it when there haven't been any purchases yet?

>>7566406
this

>>7566439
There is LITERALLY no way you could prove it, hence you are receiving all profits.
Again, fuck you and your mother

>>7566439
>the only way to prove its not a con is for you to fall for it, goy!

>>7566443
I could take a screenshot of the donations made to the charities.

With the book priced at $10.30 AUD, I get $1.88 per purchase, so I'll take a screenshot every time someone buys the book and I'll post it here so you can count up how much I'm donating.

All that, just for you.

>>7566446
Nobody is this retarded.

It's a cash cow in which nobody loses. The stories are fucking awful - you're just trying to take this to print with as little editing as possible.

But my [...] and so then [...] story got in so I don't give a fuck

I've been lurking in other boards for >5 years now, but I found out about the /lit/ groupwrites from a buddy giving me a link to leddit.
Is the quality really any worse for it?
Apart from the obviously rushed production schedule fuck

>>7566369
>>book is just a watered down discussion of authors
No, not really.

Actually, here's what you should do, OP: take each individual story from the work as is, and find out which ones everyone likes the most, and then remove all the rest, and then have another submission period. Where's the 'meritocratic culling,' huh? Why don't you use another one of those damned strawpolls you like so much.

>>7566446
There is no way to know how many have really been sold and if you're really donating for each one someone buys.

LET'S JUST ALL AGREE NOT TO BUY THIS AND CALL THIS FUCKER OUT IN FUTURE THREADS IN WHICH HE SHILLS THIS

GET THE PDF IF YOU WANT IT BUT NOT THE BOOK

>>7566497
The publisher website tell you how many copies have been sold and the revenue for it, you idiot.

>>7566369
You didn't actually read it, did you?

>>7566189
>>7566294

>>7566357
>>7566374
>>7566432
>>7566443
>>7566463
>>7566497

There's just as much evidence suggesting that OP will donate the money as there is suggesting that he will take it for himself (none). He has been honest and communicative for the duration of this project, so why would he lie about donating the proceeds?

Also, why are you faggots complaining about the rate at which these books are being written? People are being motivated to write and get to see their work published. Is there a certain amount of time members of this board need to wait before the work they compiled is considered legitimate?

Also, if Reddit came to /lit/ because of and during tundra and hypersphere, how would the quality of those books be any better than this one?

>>7566526

i normally hate the whole
>go back to reddit reeeeee
shit but this is just sad
ishmael even if youre not from reddit you might as well be. hypermeme just came out, you couldnt wait a few months? why? tundra and hypershere were funny (to some extent) because they were spontaneus and genuine. this just feels forced.

>>7566631
>implying this can be summed up as genre fiction
>implying you've even read the thing
i won't argue that it's not written by neckbeards, but daddy please

Theres a typo m8, literally told you about it in the last thread

>>7566344
Senpai I asked for an edit in the last thread boi are you for real

Yeah where can I get a used copy?

Fucking disgusting /pleb/ tier reddit made book with a shady ass publisher and editor. Why the fuck did anyone give this guy so much authoritative control literally reeks of redditry and tarnishes everything that gave the previously mediocre books some shred of value, the equal and consequently chaotic nature of their making.

Do not buy this trash, it's not /lit/ canon, it's reddit /r/ writingprompts

And suddenly my eyes are open to Le reddit

>>7566677
stop whining about that shit. if you wanted to join in and ever thought any of it was any good you were reddit from the start, mate.

>>7566670
Literally this, holy shit if you redditors so desperately want your own book and to be cucked into submission by your editor overlord do it on a subreddit you pleb shits

shame reddit wasted a pretty good cover art

EVERYONE IN THIS THREAD IS FROM REDDIT

>>7566683
I've never even been on the site

>>7566683
I've never even been on the site, I want to forget this book ever existed

This. Any book that came from this craphole is a guaranteed pile o shite.

Ok, Ishmael - two thins.
First of a - do you have a PDF of the final draft to show US?
Second - what about the table of contents we wers supposed to make?

>>7566759
Exactly. There's typos everywhere. What the fuck is this guy even doing?

Shame because this was the best shit between Tundra and Hypersphere. I guess it's between reddit-tier shit or schizophrenic 4chan-tier shit.

>>7566187
>Okay /lit/, we did it! And much, much sooner than I expected.

Okay reddit*, we did it! And much, much sooner than I expected.

>>7566795
How was reddit involved in this?

>>7566799

>>7566800
I'm just asking. I don't know the story behind this?
Why is reddit contributing in a /lit/ book?

>>7566806
the thread with printed out hypersphere excerpts became one of the top posts on the 4chan subreddit.

Unrelated Pictures of DFW appears extremely quickly after the finish of Hypersphere (usually there is time between) and is also completed in an absurd time period for a board of this size.

Also the general quality overall of posts has declined and influx of plebs/redditors has been obvious

>>7566812
What is wrong with just writting books. Why does there have to be time between each one? That is some spook shit. I do agree on the increase in ple bshit tho

>>7566818
didn't say there was anything wrong, just a consequence of them being exposed to the concept wanting to have their input.

Now has it really, or are 1-2 persistent trolls playing with the perception of an influx? That's what I've been wondering.

Or maybe /lit/ was always this shitty.

>>7566526
>There's just as much evidence suggesting that OP should be editor as there is suggesting that he has any discernible talent (none). He has been authoritarian and reddit for the duration of this debut reddit project, so why would he not kill himself

Also, why are you capable non-redditors complaining about the rate at which these books are being written? Redditors are being motivated to circlejerk and get to see their narwhals published. Is there a certain amount of time redditors of this thread need to wait before the shit they compiled is considered passable?

Also, if reddit swarmed to /lit/ because of and during tundra and hypersphere, how would the quality of those books be any better than this poo?

The Force Awakens, like Pictures, has no quality. Its every measurable success and failure is that of a machine's attempt to manipulate the synaptic networks that constitute global and domestic markets.

If so you should probably just leave and never look back.

Historians remember this period as the "Descent into reddit territory".

>>7567566
What is the "reddit" element there? Can you please elaborate?

>>7567582
This place is apparently compromised by redditors. And i guess they contributed in Pictures or something. It's actually the best shit so far from /lit/.

>>7567599
I think that Pictures of DFW indeed are better than Hypersphere (which is great in the sense of Finnegans' Wake like greatness) and far better than Tundra, which is hilarious and quite good actually. I haven't seen any conrete accusations of "redditism" - only some fags shouting "Reddit!" over and over.

also read this: >>7566812

>>7567625
Is the notion of "being from around here" relevant when it comes to a fully anonymous internet community? Isn't it a statement a bit contradictory when it comes to the nature of 4chan as a whole?

You guys stick out so much more than you realize.

Bring lots of capitulating uninteresting total compromising nonsense and shit taste.

The book is full of shit memes and when people called people out in editing people would get assblasted "LMAO WHO CARES XD" its a clear sign of redditism.

>>7567650
>>7567655
fuck off literally everyone on this board can tell from the masturbatory way you write that you are not from here. please leave. your posts are honestly digusting.

>>7567671
Excuse me, but - what kind of bull's shit does your head have to be filled with in order to say that questioning the nearly dogmatic cry of "Reddit" is clearly a sign of "sticking out so much more than one realizes"?
Has "calling out people" ended up in the final product? I haven't seen any (also, Hypersphere is literally full of random assblasting remarks)

>>7567681
>bull's shit
sorry senpai you went overboard, would have been good if you were a little more subtle

LMAO.

>>7567681
no ones going to take the time to explain everything to you because you don't deserve it. everything about the way you post and what you're posting make it infuriatingly obvious you don't belong on an intuitive level. lurk here without posting for a long, long while or head back to r/books.

>>7567681
/lit/ is no better than reddit. All the books are full of reddit-tier bull's shit.

Then why aren't you there already?

Just sayin.

>>7567642

>"Frankly, as a solipsist the previous statement offends me". the reader neglected to think.

Sometimes I am actually impressed at the wit of some people here.

Why didn't you just write it on reddit? Would have caused a lot less annoyance and perhaps created an urge for people here to write another one of their own. Surely you didn't need the book to be "a 4chan's project", you may have actually delayed the next project here because they will be shot down in anger for you giggly shits.

>>7567699
No one's purchased it yet because apparently no one's that much of a fucking idiot

At the most generous, you should be an active user of the site for around 3+ years before something you create could be considered anything inherently related to the site. If you start browsing /lit/ on the side after Tundra, you would not by now have a thorough enough understanding of the site or even just the board to write a "/lit/ book."
