Ban Stagolee. Seriously.
Enforce /lit/'s Rule #4.
Give Fantasy/Sci fi its own board
Give philosophy its own board too
Delete writefag threads

It will be a glorious future full of House of Leaves threads! House of Leaves threads as far as the eye can see!

Fuck all that other shit. Don't get rid of fantasy/sci fi, because then this board will be nothing but arguments about the definition of literature. Don't get rid of philosophy because then if I want to talk about it I will have to go to the only place more insufferably self-important than here. Reasonable (to the extent that such a thing is possible) discussion of Ayn Rand should be permissible as long as it doesn't take up more than half of the god-damned front page.
Seriously, though, ban Stagolee.

Science Fiction & Fantasy has come an awful long way since the pulp fiction magazines lining newspaper stands in the 1930s, but you wouldn't know it from the sheep-like bleating of the literary snobs.

I remember an argument similar to this being presented when they first made /jp/, since it "took away" most of the stuff /a/ talked about before the split. Of course most of it sneaks onto /a/ anyway, so it's really kind of a moot point.

If you think there's enough discussion to warrant a /scifi/ and /phil/ board you obviously haven't been around enough, or haven't stopped to wonder why we don't have a history board yet.

Yup ban Stagolee, everything else would just make this board even more interminably slow. Also what is rule 4. I'm a newfag (on /lit/ as least).

Considering the very small amount of traffic this board receives, giving sci fi/fantasy and philosophy their own boards would be just ridiculous. What exactly do you want to discuss?

Because genre writing, Philosophy writing, and just plain writing shouldn't be allowed on a board about writing. Man, It's tards like yourself who really make this board the piece of shit it is today. Best be trollan

However, Stag should have gotten a temp ban. Rule #4 should be treated as spam.

I'd agree with banning stag, but fuck losing sci-fi/fantasy and philosophy, its better having everyone here, I like anything as long as its about books. The writefag threads are fine as well, though I wouldn't mind seeing a bit less of them.

>> No.1062534

This fella, displays certain fascist charecteristics, being that he wants to enforce his idea of ideal standards on us all. Stag is a big part of /lit/, No one reads the rules, I personally don't read or like fantasy but that does not mean its not relevant or that its not literature, it is easy to just ignore those threads, Philosophy belongs here on /lit/ the only people who dont like seeing it here are plebs that cant understand any of it, there really aren't enough writers for that to even be considered a problem.

This too.

>Give Fantasy/Sci fi its own board

Labeling Fantasy/Sci-Fi as literature is obviously debatable. Philosophy isn't exactly literature either. However, these things have certainly inspired a great deal of literature, so I'd say that if there's a reason for that stuff staying on this board, then that's it.

>Delete writefag threads
No. These threads are hilarious. I love the high school kids who think their dark/edgy stories about drug-users are brilliant and unique.

And until we have a massive genre debate in /lit/ as to why fantasy and sci-fi aren't literature, and everyone is convinced unremitantly, then fucking sci fi and fantasy stay where they are.

I disagree with every one of OP's ideas. The first one would be ineffective. The rest would turn /lit/ into a wasteland.

BTW: This thread is the best way to encourage an attention-whoring tripfag. Well done. Maybe you can whip up a thread for me, while you're at it?
