I read the last one and the story called "Slothrop's Torture: An Erotic Gravity's Rainbow Fiction" really rubbed me the wrong way.
"His cramps alleviated when he finally gave to his captor’s struggle, to seize like a feral caught in the maw of a terrible beast’s an unsavory way to spend one’s final moments alive… but the terror now afflicting his neurons, a distress signal sent to frenzy the quartz within his heart to implode, pushes his system to do things he’s never done before—the skin flush, wet with sweat all of sudden, hot then cold, and his colon, careless to his plight, just unleashes… oh no, the dread tenfold… just so helpless, callow in the face as it contorts in pleads, images of youth… dragged through scenes of urbanite decay, concrete chipped by Lord knows what, urine-scent stabbing through his swollen nose, hallways and antechambers lacquered by the wet feet of comings-and-goings, lecherous red lights in iron-latticed fixtures. Slothrop’s crying. He’s regressing further… helpless as a dumbfounded college kid, new to a dorm, slightly confused by the seething testosterone he can feel in the air, in the shapes of those freshman lads, as they struggled so with their cardboard boxes, their pulsating forearms sure to be sore, and oh, the Big One… The Black One, the athlete, lean, the light just sliding off his wild skin-kissed complexion, and how he could throttle young Slothrop, deliver the impassioned might of the whole continent of Africa directly inside him: the bruteness, the brashness, the filth and dirt and smearing of sclera upon naked bodies in Bacchic rites, the sweet reverse colonization… helpless in the arms of these brutes."

You saw fields of green, that's why you started with such an ambitious model. You knew that twitter would let your efforts drown into the ether, you knew that it was impossible to grow your magazine on reddit. You came to a small but dedicated community of literary types and sold them a dream. A real, published magazine for their art. And as soon as these people gave your "venture" legitimacy, you immediately shoved them to the back of the line. Behind fucking twitter.
You did this to yourself. Now go shill on your homesite nigger.

"I being this story by warning you, dear reader, that what you are about to become privy to is perhaps the most lurid, rancid, and alarming accounts of this 21st Century; and so, it begins on a hazy spring day, some fifteen years before, where we arrive in a room where two young men are acquiring carpet burns upon a floor in a carnal romp. They have been going at each other's anuses for quite some time now, edging their silken rupture to the point of absurdity. The penetrating objects increasing in size, used on the submissive one's ass, could alarm anyone with a sense of decency. Too late, it's happened. His anus horribly distended. Drooping to the floor, loose, open like an Elephant's trunk. He screamed in pain. Cut it, cut it! he cried, clawing at the red tentacle hanging out of him. Scissors are used. It's a jagged, nasty cut. He began to seize, bleeding from the missing portion of colon out his bottom. And, my God, remarkable, they both regarded the sight, as it was, and I sweat to God, the distended anus began to shake as well. It began to move the way a grub would, creating a fecal-blood trail in its clumsy wake. The two gay lovers, after immediate emergency surgery on the bottom, would grow a fondness over this anus homunculus, often guffawing at the anus' various exploits—like its proclivity to fall from the ceiling onto the plate of an unsuspecting dinner guest, warm smiles and friendly eye rolls, "Oh, anus, up to its usual shenanigans," and the whole dinner party would roar with laughter. Yes, it did strengthen their relationship to have an animated distended anus around. So perhaps our tale isn't so sordid after all; perhaps it can show us where to find strength in even the most dire circumstances; perhaps we need to find the distended anus within ourselves as well, expel it, and let it enrich our lives."

On one hand, I myself can see several issues with staying true to lit:
>small pool of contributors
>somewhat homogeneous contributor and user taste
>lack of blacks/women for academic cred
>general neuroticism
I know that I would never expend the time, stress and money needed to do the work that you've done and the backlash in this thread probably seems disgustingly unappreciative. I also understand that the schizo who believes that someone would start a literary journal of all things on this website of all places for the purpose of making money is obviously wrong. However, it is clear that you are no longer interested in this board and its residents and are now pulling from a much less idiosyncratic pool of contributors. Your journal's title is an anachronism and there's no point in engaging with lit because I doubt that anyone is especially interested in submitting to just another normalfag publication.

>> No.16722113

>>16721341
If I were to go without women writers, it would be forfeiting my poetry section and missing out on a number of good fiction pieces.
I "need" female writers because I want to produce a well-rounded journal.

>>16721376
This is so far from the truth, it's not even funny. The project started here. Why? Because I post here regularly, saw lots of good crit threads, had lots of good conversations about fiction, and saw lots of potential in some of the writers here. I stand by that. Simultaneously, I was disappointed with how I never met my own deadlines for my own writing, so I wanted some kind of motivation.
Last year, I got some time off work with the intention of finishing my degree but I wasn't accepted back into the faculty and so had extra tuition money and three months off work with an income, so I decided to collect some writing here to print in a book. A real, holdable book with the writing of myself and other anons. And that's what I did, and it was a success. Yes, I lost money, but that was never the point. It's not even the point now.
If it were the point, I'd be charging more and paying less.
As time went on, I found it harder to keep interest on the board other than a handful of loyal contributors/members. Even then, submissions were very limited. There was still good, solid stuff, but we didn't have a wide enough pool to choose from to produce the journal. It would've just been the same 5-10 guys contributing over and over. So we made some moves to broaden the field of submissions.

So, again, this has nothing to do with an ambitious model or making a profit. It's about generating enough revenue to keep the bloody thing alive. "What thing?" you ask. The thing that pays amateur writers real money for contributing their writing to a completely independent literary journal. I have final say on everything in the journal.

You bring up reddit. If you had read my essay from the third edition, you'd know that I was shadowbanned after being on reddit for ~7 days last fall.

But I'll ask you again: what have you done to support grassroots literature and art?

>>16721406
I, a /lit/ poster since 2015, started a quarterly comprised of anon writers last fall. The second edition was about 90% confirmed /lit/. Third edition was about 75% confirmed /lit/. And latest edition has about 15% confirmed /lit/ posters.

My options over the summer were limited, but I chose to seek out submissions from outside of /lit/ to keep the thing going. We were inundated with submissions over the summer and that wider field brought wider selections of writing. A couple of anons here are now bitching about the fact that I had the audacity to print African writers in my journal instead of only non-African /lit/ anons.

>>16721503
I have final say over everything. I contributed an essay on avoiding the social media echo chambers. Before that, I printed "The Internet is Serious Business." You're talking out of your ass.

>> No.16722129

>>16722113
no one "needs" grassroots support, not in the age of self-publishing. Everyone who can submit a .doc or .pdf to Amazon/B&N/Ingram Spark has instant access to all the expanded markets. And considering you've sold only 500 copies at a price 10x the price of the New Yorker, I doubt your contribution to "literature and art"

>> No.16722178

>>16721604
I've been told that I pay more than many independent journals. I suppose most would probably pay by word, but I don't know.

>>16721615
The printing is only a few hundred bucks. I pay a few hundred bucks for cover design and editing as well. Paying the contributors is the bulk of the expense, but that's the whole point: to motivate writers with potential to finish their writing projects.

>>16721639
I sell on amazon right now, but because of complications with a single ISSN/ASIN, each new edition gets absorbed under the product ID of the last edition. If you're referring to print-on-demand, I don't see how that would save me much money... unless I charged roughly double for each copy.

>>16721615
what is this profit you speak of?

>>16721826
Just by a fickle and inconsistent contributor base, yes. We have some good, reliable /lit/ anons who contributed to multiple editions, but most seem to be one-offs.

>>16722024
>lack of blacks/women for academic cred
academic cred does absolutely nothing for me. As a matter of fact, the fifth edition has all submissions denuded of any identifying info. Just a submission number, a title, and the genre (poem/fiction/non-fiction) so that our team of editors judge only the writing itself, not the traits of the author.

>>16722024
I appreciate your summation. Just three points I wish to contradict.
>you are no longer interested in this board and are now pulling from a less idiosyncratic pool of contributors
I disagree. Opening up submissions to a wider pool does not erase /lit/ posters from the pool. Their idiosyncrasies are still here, and their submissions are still read (and with noticeably more interest when the source of the writing is recognized). Furthermore, this is the only literary discussion board I use, so my interest is very much here. Always on the lookout for excerpts in which I see potential.
>Your journal's title is an anachronism
Perhaps. Except remember it was many /lit/ anons who, in the first six to ten months of this project, who expressed a reluctance to be associated with the site in any way. They feared ruining their careers, getting doxed, or being in any way affiliated with the site. I assured them in two ways: "just use a pen name. Most people do anyway." And "I didn't include the slashes around "lit" because we have no formal affiliation with 4chan, its owners, or subsidiaries."
>yours is a normalfag publication
This one actually hurts. I make a point of leaving space for edgier, more unique, and even unpolished writing in order to reiterate that the whole point of being independent/self-funded/uncensored is to curate a space with free exchange of ideas can exist. People who have controversial things to say need to contribute, but they need to write well and with well-reasoned arguments. It can't just be a /pol/ blackpill in cheap essay form.

No, I mean supporting it by providing income to people who are amateur writers so that they can write more and become better writers. And encouraging other writers to write more and become better writers. And by rewarding people who continually work to improve their writing not only with money, but with an actual book that has their name on the cover.

>being too stupid to realize some fact about the costs of modern publishing
It's not about the money. It's about encouraging people to write, and publishing independently.
>using the same ISBN
Who said ISBN? I could've sworn I said ISSN...you know, that thing that's required for serial publications in Canada.
>going REEE during every self-made thread
You mean defending myself when people who don't have a fucking clue about this thing at all talk shit about me in threads made primarily by other interested anons? Dude. You haven't the slightest clue what's going on here and you're making yourself look like a retard.

You can buy your own ISBNs, which allows you to say "printed by [insert anything you want]" on your metadata. ISBNs costs less if you buy them in bulk. One costs like $100, but you if you 500, they're like $1 each.

You are right about the one time thing. Any difference in edition or format requires a different ISBN. For example, JK Rowling wrote one Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone but there are maybe 500 different ISBNs for it, for every book with a different cover, paper back or hardcover, new edition, language, updated with new foreword, etc

That hasn't been my experience. I don't recall paying any money whatsoever for the ISSN. In my application (for an ISBN originally), when I stated that it was a quarterly, I was informed that I would require an ISSN, not an ISBN, but that the ISSN should be used for all subsequent editions of the quarterly. This doesn't jive with amazon, so for the second LQ I sold on amazon, I applied for and received an ASIN (amazon-issued equivalent of an ISBN, applicable only on amazon). This number, however, if in any way linked with the ISSN, caused all items under that title to be considered a single product. So the Winter 2020 page was sucked up into the Spring 2020 page...it was a big clusterfuck, so I decided to just sell of the website itself.

You can still sell the issue as a book. I don't see why you don't. There are literally blank books, sold as writing notebooks, with ISBNs

I'm sure there are more /lit/ contributors then that, it's just hard for him to know because he doesn't explicitly ask in the submission process. Me, for example.

Not sure if it's a different process in Canada or not, but for ISBNs, I would need to apply for a new one for each book and lie on the application saying it is not a serial publication. When applying for an ASIN on amazon, when I put in the application, it automatically flags the title as being a similar product (of the previous issue) and won't allow me to differentiate them.

Oh, I see what you mean. Yeah, maybe a little bit. But not necessarily. Because when we go through the entire pool of submissions, part of our consideration is how the pieces fit together. We do like our volumes to have--no matter how subtle or broad--some cohesion between the works. Some works are selected not just on their quality, but by how they compliment other works we've accepted. But yeah, I see your point.

The way that Amazon does it is series name is the name of your magazine, and title is the theme name of the current issue

Saw this bullshit coming from a mile away when the owner refused to anonymize all the contributors and put forward-slashes around the "Lit" of "Lit Quarterly". This isn't a /lit/ magazine, but rather a generic literature publication that used /lit/ to get itself off the ground. Any tenuous connection that can be drawn between it and /lit/ will only diminish with further publications. The owner should be banned for self-promotion.
