Face it, Reddit's literary talent is superior.

[Anonymous No.15081498]

You people like to rip on Reddit, but sometimes on there you find excellent short stories, like this one:

>https://www.reddit.com/r/nosleep/comments/cokl1l/if_youre_armed_and_at_the_glenmont_metro_please/

Gripping idea, very cool execution, polished prose, good rhythm. This is far above the level of the average published short story. Miles above anything I've ever found here.

Meanwhile, /lit/ has created what? That bullshit fake book about a tundra? I guess pretending to be retarded is useful to hide a lack of talent.

OP, note that you complain that other users are dismissing it without giving an elaborate explanation, only by appealing to certain general ideas, while you yourself are praising it without giving any real explanation, just by appealing to certain ideas.

I, for one, can find no redeeming qualities that could justify overlooking the writer's consistent abuse of italics and capital letters, scattered throughout the piece in places that don't seem to require them. That's just bad form and aesthetically not pleasing.

The writer makes certain references to neuroscience that I find unsuccessful. He wishes for the bullet to travel the shortest distance possible before hitting his hippocampus, in order that his sensation of pain be mitigated. But that area of the brain, while part of the limbic system, hasn't much to do with pain. The hippocampus is primarily involved in human learning and memory. Interestingly, it plays an important role in the conversion of short-term memory into long-term memory, but it is not clear what having a short-term memory would even mean for someone in the condition the protagonist finds himself in. Short-term memory is by its very nature temporary, things we tend to forget. But could such a being as the protagonist even forget? What is the difference between a thought entertained yesterday, now, in a year from now? Unfortunately, this theme is not explored or developed any further.

There's a seeming tension, if not an incoherence possibly due to sloppiness, in that the protagonist is supposedly confused, bewildered, and experiencing something for which there is no counterpart in the world of ordinary humans, yet is perfectly capable of performing time conversions from "his world terms" into "real world terms". Even if this could be excused by appealing to superior cognitive abilities, even the doctors are quite sanguine and capable of assuring him that what he experiences will wear off in a few hours, which they, most courteously, readily translate into "a few days" in his time, as though they had written their PhD on the subject or are dealing with the most common condition known to men.

And then there's just bad writing. What, pray tell, is "geologic slowness"? He says the book "pirouetted" across the room and it feels like he just wanted to use that word for the sake of using it, because it makes no sense for someone or something to pirouette across a space; go on YouTube and see how the move is performed. You will notice that no jumping across anything is involved. A simpler verb could have sufficed. A "flip-flop sinking in a swimming pool" and a leaf blowing the breeze" are bad metaphors.

Ultimately, the fascinating concepts of time and memory are here dealt with in the most mundane, lazy, cursory manner, that doesn't do them any justice at all and doesn't make the reader want to analyze them himself or take any interest in them whatsoever. And that is a serious vice because they truly do deserve more.

You don't see an argument against the prose being just barely good enough to qualify as readable right?

I agree. I don't get his point.

>>15082522
Yes there's autocorrect I'm phone posting. But perhaps you're just hyped or something because it's extremely evident that the only part of its prose that is extremely redeemable is simply that it's readable. I imagine you haven't read really good prose. It's about as good prose as Michael Crichton, if it makes you happy. It's not witty or romantic. It's just straight to the point. It's almost nihilistic. The prose makes no arguments for life or anything. It's rather English and to the point. That's not terrible but the prose is only readable that's it. It's not shouldering postmodernism it's not a weapon of the common man worker. In fact the redeemable trait of the writing is you can forget you're reading. Which is a good trait in our modern world but it hardly makes for amazing writing.

Again my position is the story and its development carries the whole literature on its back. That's not controversial

[Anonymous No.15082574]

>>15082453
Amazing. 498 words and not a single valid concept.

>but the hippocampus doesn't have anything to do with pain...
That's the area you hit when you shoot yourself in the mouth because it's the surest way to die. That's why he wants someone to shoot him there. He doesn't want to risk a slow death, he wants it as fast as possible. He isn't saying that destroying the hippocampus will turn off pain.
And even if your argument was anatomically correct, it would still be irrelevant from a literary point of view.

>And then there's just bad writing.
The only one I see is yours while you try to sound like a professor.

>is perfectly capable of performing time conversions from "his world terms" into "real world terms".

Why would I have to do better personally? They have already been explored by far superior writers. What is this fixation of yours with "let's see you do better" as though that's an argument? If Roger Ebert couldn't write a decent script, would that somehow mean that Adam Sandler is actually the best screenwriter in the world?

>Really? You're so literal, so unimaginative that you didn't understand the sense of that expression?
Sorry, midwit, but that's your flaw, not the author's.
Look, faggot, using insults only works when you're making decent points. "Geological slowness" is an utterly meaningless metaphor that will impress only the most puerile of minds, those who take pleasure in highbrow philistinism.
>Once again, a very easy image to visualize for anyone who isn't retarded or disingenuous.
No, it's quite clearly an instance of someone using words they don't understand because they fear simpler-sounding words. That you don't get that, or don't get why this is not a good thing, is entirely your problem.

>And even if your argument was anatomically correct, it would still be irrelevant from a literary point of view.

Of course it's correct and of course it has merit. It shows that the writer has not bothered to consider the implications of what he's saying and describing. He wants to depart from the so-called ordinary world of ordinary humans into a fantastical world of magnificent creatures, without tackling the curiosities of the transition, without coming to terms with it. To those of us who give a damn as readers, that matters. To those of us who are impressed by the ability to use the words "geological" and "pirouette", evidently it doesn't.

I have wasted enough time, so I will only conclude with this remark: The fact that you demand elaborate explanations is indicative of the fact that you completely lack intuition, which in turn means that you don't read much. The good reader knows, intuitively, when he is in the presence of something truly good and when not. If you have no intuition, or if your intuition indicates that this is an excellent short story that rivals Updike at his finest, that's no virtue and it's impossible to have any kind of discussion with you.

I posted a story and a rabid pack of talentless little shits started foaming and screeching that it was awful but then couldn't give a single valid reason as to why. Why is it relevant that it wasn't my story? What a ridiculous excuse.

>If you can't notice why the short story is structurally amess, then you're embarrassing yourself.
Well, go on, embarass me even more. Give me some good reason as to why the story is "structurally amess".
(You talentless lot are adorable when you try to sound like a professional critic. Structurally... I bet you feel really cool when you say that. :^^^))

Look, you are unironically basedjackposting here, the only thing missing is the shitty picture, try to safe your last bit of dignity.
My point is you come here, don't know of something that is posted very often, giving away that you are a tourist and then you try to tell anons this work is better than what is posted here, which, by our own admission, you barely ever read.
Another thing, you shoot down criticism as non-valid, for reasons that you pull out of thin air, but I'm quite sure you know that yourself and the answer to this will be, that I should give you examples...

>your completely correct observations are not valid because you don't spend 12 hours a day here! You're just a tourist!
Amazing. Incredible. You are LITERALLY filthy-casualing me. I didn't think I'd ever meet a loser this pathetic. You're real, right? You're not acting?

Take a step back and read your words with a modicum of objectivity, please. (Then try not to kill yourself.)

>for reasons that you pull out of thin air
And yet, none of you could explain why they aren't valid. Meanwhile, I could clearly debunk all of yours. Really makes you think.

If this is the level of entertainment I can expect on this board, I might come here more often.

It's been a minute since I read it and i was just reading for the story. I loved the story but if I remember he's a postmodernist and I don't like that type of writing but I enjoyed fight club, doomed and damned. I have more dled but I'm more interested in other movements rn

I do read it. In the critique threads. And it's shit.
But of course now you're moving the goalpost (a very common logical fallacy) and claiming that I need to read everything written on here for the past 10 years to be qualified to speak.

>my subjective opinion
Weak excuse. You know perfectly well I'm right. Hence, why you keep whining instead of proving me wrong.

Also, you can clearly see a lot of fabric in your pic. That qualifies as "one thing".

I did not say you needed to read everything, but I seriously doubt that you read enough here to be able to give a (and let's not forget that, you made a general statement) general opinion if you haven't ever stumbled upon a quarterly-thread. Tell me now why you compare critique threads to a finished story.
At this point it is difficult to think of this as non-bait-thread.

This is a ML-generated image, there is literally no object in it if you don't pretend there is.

This anon in another thread on the board rn is what I would consider pretty good writing for /lit/. >>15079542

It’s meandering and not a story but the style is high level, much more evocative and satisfying to read than the Reddit story, which mainly appeals because of the premise and not due to the execution.
