Nope, I am close to poor. I just don't see the value in creating a literary journal which will never be considered reputable. When querying future agents, it will look bad on you unless you used a pseudonym, given the associations 4chan has. I'm just being realistic here.

You could have at least named it something other than /lit/. You know, you're not really helping anyone by connecting your journal to 4chan. I'm just being realistic here. Putting your real name on that journal will come back and haunt you.

[Anonymous No.14736995]

>>14736985
Do you even like literature or do you just care about becoming reputable. You're taking this too seriously anyway, it's just a project for anons to practice their writing and put something together.

It has no association with 4chan, it's not /lit/ it's Lit, and it isn't the only journal to use that. I've already won an emmy with this thing on my CV anyway so you're obviously wrong.

Well, most agents are stupid, so they're not going to look more into it. I guess Lit Quarterly isn't that bad. Granted, I am still hesitant to send any of my own short stories because I have a history of bad luck. I do not think most of your fanbase is intelligent either.

I can understand the worry about sending stuff in, which is why I do under a pseudonym and don't plan on developing anything from it into a serious novel but just use it for fun, practice, and to help create something together with other people on the board

[Anonymous No.14737125]

>>14737103
I find it strange that no one here has any connections to reputable literary agents. I've begged a lot for referrals to agents in the past, but no one ever had any to offer. I guess most people have difficulties in making connections the way I do. What's funny is even a growing social media presence hasn't helped me in landing an agent during the querying process.

can't speak for others, but as of right now writing is just one of my hobbies outside of work so I've never put in the time to try and contact a real agent, nor do I have a long enough piece (or collection of pieces) for it to be worth it yet

[Anonymous No.14737147]

>>14737136
Why does it matter if people care or not when you're not going to make valuable connections or money either way? It's not my problem people don't care.

[Anonymous No.14737154]

>>14737146
Even if you had a well-written piece, landing an agent is very difficult without connections or social media presence. Also, Jews do dominate the industry, and they cause a lot of problems.

I'm not speaking for any of the contributors, but I think it's a good thing to NOT be intimidated by the bland, uncontroversial mob. Don't let some distorted conception of reputation, financial concerns, or public expectations dominated your interaction with such a modest project. Otherwise, there's no reason to ever do anything.

Controlled Faith: had a melancholy atmosphere of the midwest. Besides that, it wasn't entertaining. The gay pastor was terrible and his alter boy obsessive fuck toy had a unbelievable turn. 6/10.

The Internet is Serious Business: Although accurate, it held pretentions that made the author come across as if he was any better than the people he critiqued--a sense a superiority that most anons have built within them (the opposite of other social media where you are required to project your merits). Perhaps that is what makes it a good essay. It has an unequivocal /pol/ tone. I can agree with the thesis. This anon would hate me. I am a racist after all. Fuck him though. He is probably a faggot irl. 8/10.

I don’t hate you and the tone of the essay became more stilted toward the, dareisayit, establishment amerilib direction as edits passed, however I hold a similar disposition toward most all ideology: deep skepticism. This was intended to be more an analysis on the progression of language and the communication/assembly of ideology through (seemingky) innocuous bricks/shards. That being said, I don’t suck literal dicks, and fuck you shitbag. Thanks for reading. I’ll try even harder in the future.
