Just wanted to give an update: the Lit Quarterly is being edited right now. The printers have offered a distribution service which will see the quarterly distributed via Amazon. Once it's compiled and printed, I will share a link here. It will probably be the third week of December (so quite late, probably not in time for Christmas delivery). Those who have contributed but haven't received payment, please email me at litquarterly@gmail.com.

Editorial selection process will become more strict and strenuous for next edition. But don't hesitate to contribute.
(Pic related is first edition; second edition will improve upon every aspect).

Generally, no. The poetry covers all types of things, but the writing is mostly serious and not humorous.

I haven't studied latin for very long, so if anyone with proper knowledge would like to correct me, please do.

But the Oxford Latin Dictionary translates "I accelerate" to "accelero" (1st conjugation), which makes the infinitive form ("to accelerate") "accelerare".

True, but what else can we do? It needs to have some meaning after all, and Latin is probably the easiest to go with. I will admit, it is a bit low effort. Anyway, the subtitle isn't quite decided yet (although accelerare seems likely to win).

Poems have generally been less then a page (there are a couple quite short ones). Short stories have been from about 1200-4000 words. Essays have been 2000-3000 words.

But yes, it is done by contacting litquarterly@gmail.com.

Yeah, if the theme is not explicitly related thereto, I feel like an 'accelerate' subtitle links it, unwantedly, too closely to accelerationism. And while I do find it an interesting philosophical strain, it is a bit too trendy for a title, I feel.

Picking a subtitle in a language you don’t read or understand is about as meaningful as picking a gibberish word for that subtitle.

Use a metaphor. The early stages of a tree’s growth: “sapling”? “Society grows great when old men plant trees..”. Or “eukaryote”, in Greek, a kernel: the DNA-carrying hard-celled kernel of life-data. You might also consider “metaphase” from mitosis, if you like the biology theme but want to make it a more obvious chronological progression.

Please for the love of god don’t just use a random latin word. Cringy and brainless

i kinda agree. It makes more sense for it to all be anonymous. What are we doing by namefagging? Simply larping that we will 'somehow' become 'discovered' and this will be our 'big break' maybe just let people give a series of letters and numbers, no spaces. Like just a maximum of ten characters, so if you get published multiple times we can see your writing evolution, or whatever continuances you would look for.

If you've a philosophy you want to see acted on, start a publication or a website. I like the traditional lit journal format. This board has the potential to spark a variety of interesting artifacts. You have every potential to create a completely anonymous publication. That's not what many are looking for even though we're using pseudonyms. I like the idea of being able to track the progression of individual board authors over time.

I used my real name. I don't see the problem or the purpose of hiding.

Its not really hiding, it more of an aesthetic thing I guess, I'm just trying to contribute to what seems to be a contender for thread of the week; I haven't seen such zeal in this place for quite a long while. And the character limit just served as a means to maintain a unique aesthetic that is particular to this domain within the vastness of the internet. A series of letters that harken back to the beginning of the man who made the work, I think we would be remiss to deny our roots, to try to transcend out pit of mud and hell, that we all have dwelled for very long. This is a very nice place, I want the quaterly to represent that. And when the year comes when lit is dead, many decades more to come I hope, this book remains a testament to this period of time, and if it stands untrueful, unfaithful now, it will be a pale reflection of the times of old we will gaily reminisce about in our waning years.

Not need to apologize, brother. Writing shouldn't be a dick measuring contest. All creativity should be welcome among us.

It's a literary journal with no affiliation, real or implied, with 4chan. That almost all the submissions came from people on this board is completely coincidental.

Funny and striking, if a little pretentious at times. 8/10

You'd want to write the whole thing and have it looked at first 'cause what happens if the early chapters are good but later it's not up to scratch? Half a story published heading nowhere?
