So, /lit/, I've been browsing this board for a while now, and I can't help but notice you don't have any memes.

Why don't we all get together and create an hilarious meme?

I hope he didnt commit suicide. but all he gave us was a short goodbye saying 'you'll see parts of me around' & hasnt posted since then.

>> No.1308629

The only /lit/ memes I know of aren't even memes, but trolls, like posts about Sasha Grey.

That, and it's hard to tell when someone is posting (say) House of Leaves because they really did just read it and like it or if they're just trolling. It seems like either lit is full of trolls or people just stop in from other boards to post the one book they read this year.

Okay. So what happened? I checked the wiki, and the last issue you guys published was the last one I remember, a few months ago. Seemed like you had enough submissions to be bi-weekly, assuming you didn't sift for quality (and if I recall, you didnt').

all fundamental transmissible units of culture are memes, what you're trying to say is that /lit/ doesn't have any funny memes or image macros or something, but this is /lit/ we are serious classy people and we don't need such things.

Just downloaded the first issue. The first story about the dog is nice, but not very well written. A nice story nonetheless. I can't be bothered to read any more though. It's 4:03am in England. I need to sleep.

Uh yup: zinewritersguild.wikia.com
Huh, there were more issues than I thought. Still, nothing since August. You know, this would probably be workable if the issues were shorter, and with less filler. I mean, I know it's kind of hard to say you're representative of a whole board's artistic output if you're cutting like 80% of submissions, but I think that would be the only way to make the damn thing readable.

It's alright you're just a newfag. People stopped making fun of gamer girl around here ages ago. I guess it got less fun when it was discovered the author of the book was pretty much a giant troll just in it for the money but otherwise pretty cool. Someone here even emailed her and did a little interview iirc.

The best we can do is get some talented blokes to write long complicated shitty stories that everyone loves.


Like that one Civil War story one of you guys wrote a while back that had me in stitches.
