ITT we discuss the next issue, themes, goals.
Submissions for Issue Two will close on January 15.

Right now the price for a physical copy is ~$25 plus shipping. I'm taking $2 from every sale in an effort to fund a website where the publication (and all pertinent information) can live permanently. I'll only need about 15 sales until I have enough to do that, then I'll take that $2 off. If any anon wants to donate $30 in bitcoin for the website, I can take that $2 off sooner.

Keep in mind that this issue is 96 pages long and it contains your literary highs and lows, so I don't THINK $25 is too bad and I'm a poorfag so take from that what you will.

NOTE: The magazine is in the public domain, so you are well within your rights to download the PDF, print it, and sell it for cheaper.

actually i will say that going into the project i had no idea what burgerpunk actually stood for. and now i think we may have completed the most comprehensive exploration of the topic.

its cool because i wanted to know what burgerpunk is. like i wanted to read some. but i couldnt find any. and i got an article kind of explaining why, which led to a photo essay exploring the themes of burgerpunk and goddam if those photos arent just incredible.

photographyanon thanks again.

chya.
i was inspired after reading Legacy of Totalitarianism in a Tundra. its cool cuz it has all these disparate styles and themes (like it was hobbled together by randos (it was)) so i wanted to make something like that. to be honest, i havent tried to find /lit/ Quarterly yet.

theres a chance i should have maybe tried to revamp that first.

some anon should buy a copy and post it here because i have no idea how some of the low res images will turn out lel. all in all though most of it was print worthy, the cover being an obvious exception. pic related are the classifieds, which if you look closely, you will see a lost dog meme naturally emerging.

>>17024137
we haven't discussed that yet but the following is the official policy on politically incorrect or offensive subjects:

CONTENT:
Regarding censorship: I don't censor anything. If you send me a racist manifesto I will likely field /lit/ for advice. There is a place for that kind of literature and maybe this is it, but its up to the board, not up to me. Also: this is a /lit/ collab and not a /pol/ collab. I've already turned down some very low effort racist submissions so if you are intent on submitting something racist, make sure its high quality.

I might copyedit the very high quality literary submissions (because they are already good so copyediting is very simple) but I will not make your shitty story good (we need shitty stories too). I will not edit your work for you (aside from fixing typos etc (in high quality works only)) so make sure that your submission is just how you want it. Sometimes when formatting I fuck up so when your submission comes up in the live development of the magazine, check it out for problems and let me know.

the next issue will be cheaper: i won't include the custom spine for $1, the website tax won't be on it, it will be smaller, and most of it might be in greyscale, which hopefully will all add up to about a $15USD pricetag.

also this one is worth the price because it says right on the fucking cover that its a Luxury Periodical™

i'm a web developer by trade kek.
but if you're willing to pay the money and do the work fucking rights doggy go hard.

my vision was to focus on the print (pdf) version for now (as opposed to online content (like point and click content specifically for the internet)) mostly because this is just the beginning, but in the future (if it blows up) an online publication is what's happening (that's if we wanted to make actual money (clearly not my thing)).

that being said, all we need right now is a place where people can go to get the gestalt and download/view, and maybe click to purchase.

the reason i haven't set up a free website already is because i wanted a domain so all anons had to remember was a domain name (as opposed to something like geocities.com/lamp or something).

but i'm all for it man the less i have to do the more will get done.

yeah, the steal this story segment gave me a good giggle. /x/ pasta was also engrossing. I found that the essays were, across the board, written at an undergrad level, not quite schizophrenic, precise, or erudite enough to keep me engaged.

>essays
i agree here too. what i didn't want was for bored anons to just submit academic papers they wrote because i don't think people would care about that, but clearly they are going to be a staple of the magazine so i'll be up for refining the submissions down to the best ones.
>neon and bokeh
fuck dude i took out soo much bokeh and neon thinking "o dude thats just my aesthetic but anons won't like that" kek.
i actually figured that anons would appreciate a more scholarly, distinguished aesthetic (like Lit Quarterly) but it went over well.

I enjoyed Thine Is The Kingdom. I just wish I could read / envision it in a form that isn't greentext, because I think it's funny and vague and translatable enough to crack the mainstream. Would that destroy the strange, rapid, disjuncted feeling of the vignettes and make it into something unrecognizable? Probably, but the task would be worht it I think. Maybe the story is unfinished, maybe there's more to be extracted from those archons and this netrunner dude. Or maybe vignettes are necessarily discrete and free-floating antitheses to plot. I hope that anon continues to edit.

I bought the first issue of LQ to show support and am glad I did. I want these projects to grow. But &amp is much better. The content, the layout, the colors--it feels very alive and fresh. LQ is primp and proper. This is wild and overflowing with its own culture. I think you've stumbled onto magic here. Stick with it. I'm dirt poor right now or otherwise I would buy a copy of this just to enjoy flipping through it. Thanks for the free version and looking forward to part 2.

i wasn't sure how to format the greentext stuff, and i think i did a very poor job designing Thine Is The Kingdom, its ugly.
same with the /x/ creepypasta.
i haven't come into my own in that regard yet.
i was attempting to preserve the 'greentext' feel and idk if it worked. maybe in the future ill just keep the greater than symbol and let it rip right aligned without trying to keep it imageboardy.
>>17024751
thank you i appreciate that. i slept for a few hours this morning (not like i'm good at sleeping anyway) so its been a labor of love.
but to think that all it takes to make a full issue of a magazine are some contributors and a weekend. i didn't even buy the design suite used to make it (canva.com for curious anons (its super fucking useful and i suggest fucking around with it)).
also for the record none of this magazine is basic ass template work. its all original.
my design for Divorcing America from Americana was my proudest moment. looks like a template.

here's a question thats come up.
how should we handle anons that want attribution? anons that prefer to have their name attached.
personally i dont really want that. reminds me of namefagging or tripcoding. however i do appreciate wanting credit for good writing.

it just made me feel so proud when anon who wrote The Justice System didn't care at all. maybe that's dunning kruger idk. maybe pseuds want credit for bad works and geniuses dont care for credit on their good works. i fully understand the desire for attribution i just dont know if its appropriate for the project.

for example. one poet anon asked me for a shoutout. so there's a shoutout to his instagram account hidden in the mag, but he didn't ask for attribution, so you don't know which poem is his (unless you scour his IG i imagine).

there have been a few submissions with names and i always ask 'hey do you mind if i replace your name with Anonymous' and they're always like 'sure bro'. good suggestion tho, just keeping it. i noticed that Lit Quarterly keeps attribution. Legacy is what inspired me to do this and its just like BOOM by Anonymous and that sort of attribution-free aesthetic was a big inspiration for this project.

Thank you very much OP, it turned out to be a great work.
I think this has serious potential. Despite the schizo ramblings, just as other /lit/ projects, the magazine form is a much better medium for this kind of content. The aesthetic helps it a lot too. Will definetly buy when I have the money.

This is entirely my personal opinion, but I'd hard-reject submissions by people using tripcodes or requesting social media attributions. They don't respect the spirit of the board itself, so they don't deserve the platform.
People who use pseudonyms and such besides Anonymous is fine, since it establishes a thread of their submissions which allows greater comprehension and dialogue in the audience, while also being prone to anonymous subversion and duplication just like a normal 4chan post. But death to the tripfags and clout-chasers.

the page numbers for magazines start on page 3 for obvious reason but i'll give you the PDF page numbers.
all submissions have value but here are my faves
>best feature story
The Justice System (page 7). like i said this shit should be in Rolling Stone.
>best essay
Divorcing America from Americana (page 52). also Abstract is good (if you like dry bitcoin essays)
>best poem
not to shit on the talent that we have in-house but The Tiger by Nael, Age 6 has a great centerfold on page
>best flash fiction
Crossboard Contamination (page 30). spoiler alert dude smokes crack and sucks dick
>other highlights
Steal These Stories (page 10).
Dewd-Breaux (page 68)

and Burgerpunk.
man the Burgerpunk featured turned out so fucking good in my opinion. really fucking comfy.

also i honestly love all of it so obviously its tough to drill in faves. its maybe like having fave children, you love them all but you don't want them to know who your faves are.
i do love them all.

I argue to keep the final work anonymous but tabs on who submitted what in the event it ever blows up and past contributors want to cite their work. What really made the first issue feel great was this sense of being underneath a literary tidal wave; numerous voices rushing in the same direction untethered to identity. It's true to the spirit of the site and the sort of content it's created. I don't think you should waver on that.

well said.
that feeling you described is what happened when i read Legacy. it really looks and feels like a hundred dudes just smashed a book together. that feel is fundamental to the project.
you're right about attribution too.
for example i plan on getting Mantelpiece published when i'm done, so if i don't use a pen name then that work will be deanonymized lel. i certainly would never stand between a good writer and his just desserts.
if this gets any attention outside of this website, it will be for the quality of its articles, and unless those writers get paid, logic dictates that we'll get less and less.

i had an idea earlier that IF this were to catch on culturally (and make money) then we can still pay writers to contribute under Anonymous. we'll see whats in the weather. this effort will be month by month.

However, people start noticing his work, and soon flock to find the undiscovered literary genius. Anon tries to claim authorship of his anonymous pieces, but is unable to.

interesting take.
chances are i will ask anons to come on board and help curate submissions from the pile.
reading on Lit Quarterly today, he got something like 250 submissions.
granted that was for three months and not one month. but still.
i told myself i had nothing to lose but some sleep on the weekend, and that next month itll just take a weekend to do, so no skin off my back, but if there are hundreds of submissions to parse, i'll have to concede more time and effort or get help.

you can publish poetry.
there has been discussion about allowing anons to claim attribution for their works.
oddly enough its the poets.

anyway it was decided that for now its best to keep it anonymous, or to use pen names.
now i'm not going to tell you how to live your life okay. you could just give me your real name and tell me its a fake name. half the culture around this website is duping people and getting the last laugh. that being said, the official answer is no you cannot get actual credit. yet.
the more successfulwe get the more that rule will bend i imagine. and the more quality submissions come in the more successful we will get.
so trust me, i recognize and appreciate the relationship between Good Work and Getting Credit. the main reason why RIGHT NOW i'm not doing attribution is because i think it would disrupt the aesthetic (apparently i have some obsession with the aesthetic (that may or may not be warranted)).

what one anon did was send a poem and asked for a shout out. so i gave him a shout out in the classified section, which i'll probably do whenever someone asks for a shout out.

if all that sounds like bullshit to you, go ahead and send in shit poem (or like whatever, a short poem or something you care less about getting credit for). i feel you though and i hope you feel me

that would directly be in violation of copyright law but i think it was in the last thread (maybe this one) where we kind of determined that there's nothing anyone can do about it.
there's nobody to sue.
unless they found anon selling them on his campus pic related in metapositional recursion on the cover.
its a cool idea because right now i'm skirting around stuff like that, asking anons to own their content, covering myself with the creative commons license, but doing that would be just such a big fuck you to copyright that the distant rustling of jimmies is music.

Permit Ogre

Doodly doo I fish in peace
On my meadow stress shall cease
a challenger dost approach
airing of a man beyond reproach

He says 'dost ye have a permit'
I say 'lost I have my permit'
The basedman begins the chase
a case a case he has a case!

'thou art to cease at once'
ubrupt end to my meadow romanse
Liberty exchanged for submission
Nature denied my admission

Hear ye the king has spoken
Cast new iron for the chains were broken
Awakened a maddened beast
When he ravaged lady peace

I must avenge her, I must tried
My anger's my powder, dried
Furiously I pull my trigger
'Excuse me sir you are a nigger'

End poem
If it doesn't make it ill kill myself.

kek.
the words on the cover for 001 sort of established the titles and themes of the work which i think was a good idea. instead of having a cover dedicated to one idea or subject or theme. which in this case would be "if you get mad we win"
if we went with this path, and it would be a bold path to follow, then i guess i would envision a very subversive, very irreverent aura. there would have to be some Fuck Yeah Fuck You to the content of it.

its bold though. i'm liking it more and more as i think about it.
right out the gate at 002 though, idk.
this is the kind of thing that gets noticed not for being cool (like 001) but for being edgy. which i'm into.

actually straight up we're doing this. its settled.
i just don't know if we should do it for 002.
maybe when we grow in reputation a little bit and people are looking then we hit em with this. just thoughts.

also i'm spitballing designs it wouldnt be "this", it would be a much more comprehensive and exhaustive version of this.

the 'all over the place' titles on 001 where really cool, we could have them as a reacuring thing on page 2 (differently stylized but always in a disorienting way)
this would make it possible to have vastly different covers from issue to issue (besides the '&amp'-logo, which i feel should always be there the same to have an identifying visual-"anchor")

honestly i'm not totally sold on the greyscale option mostly because color is (at least one thing) setting it apart from other projects.
the idea was to greyscale to being the cost down, but you can't put a price on money!

i'll ask /pol/ to dump their folders. they might take interest in the magazine. i'm not too afraid of missing the art, just the movement, if we wait to long then we'll writing a 'retrospective' of sorts and evaluating the thing that was, rather than engaging in the thing that is.

I dont know the legal side of things, but I know they are diverse and people find ways. And as an aside, it's bad practice for any publication to plagiarize. Even this magazine has a notice, "if you see anyone using the contents of this magazine please contact us" or something. Ideally, ideas would be free and public domain, but that won't be the case as long as people are willing to pay for them.

Hey lads, OP here.
Please send all shitposts, ideas, vignettes, parables, and general minutiae TO THE EMAIL.
I see some of you dropping cool stuff here, and I’ll be phonefagging while I’m on the sailboat for a bit and I have no interest in digging out my spare laptop to crawl the thread and save your cool drops.
So please for your own sake submit all content great and small to the email if you have any motivation to publish in 002+.

Wanted to shoutout to everyone again, and drop a reminder for the house:

Boys what happened here is interesting. Talking about it with my gf out here and reading some of you regarding the relationship between Good Work and Getting Credit and wanted to address that.

Now we could’ve put our names at the end of our stories. We could have done that that would’ve been very easy. I don’t think any of us would’ve protested too much. Everybody enjoys being told that they are good.

This magazine could have been just another amateur literary publication. Granted it is slick, it has style, it’s cool shit. Magazines that are slick have style and are cool shit are not innovative. This is Anonymous’ magazine. THAT is innovative. THAT is interesting.

I can actually see the headline now,
Rolling Stone: Anonymous made a magazine—and it’s Lit.

If and when that happens you are going to feel something. You were going to feel a quiet time inside you that you will not be able to share with anyone. You will not be able to outsource that joy or harvest points. He will not be able to gloat and brag. Instead you will know that you were a part of something interesting.

When I read my work and I see the word anonymous after it I get a weird little thrill. When I see my own name, it feels like the work isn’t done. It feels like I’m still waiting to be told I’m a good boy. It feels like there is feedback out there on its way. When I read my work and I see the word anonymous after it I get a weird little thrill. When I see my own name, it feels like the work isn’t done. It feels like I’m still waiting to be told I’m a good boy. It feels like there is feedback out there on its way. When I read the word anonymous, there is none of that, the work is done. I am not waiting to be told I’m a good boy because nobody knows that those are my words.

If and when this project really blows up, nothing will change about the logistics here. Even if Condé Nast gave me $1 million to hire professional riders, I would still come back here because that is what made this great in the first place. There are things we can accomplish when we work together. There are things we just can’t do when we work alone.

We have the opportunity to redefine who Anonymous, what Anonymous does. people conjure up images of some racist Internet troll, or some super elite hacker breaking down government servers or crashing corporate websites.

Together in this phalanx we are stronger than the sum of our parts. We’re fucking Anonymous.

honestly, i know nothing about web development and all that, just want us to get the best we can with thoughts of future success in mind

Based.
Thanks for listening to my gay locker room speech homos. Had a few clearly.
Anyway here’s the scoop. I’m not making money no but neither are you. I could and probably I should but if I did then some other anon would come and make it cheaper and then there’s link wars and unnecessary complication, just a race to the bottom. It should be as close to free as possible (I still got the good spine (it’s a buck)). I actually encourage you to upload it for print everywhere. That spread will be noticed.

I am the gatekeeper of this right now and that is gay too. Go to canva.com magazine designer and see for yourself how easy it is to make slick shit. Then make your own issue. Split off. Subplots, backstories, compilations, commentary. Or whip up something for this series, something that won’t have me all over it. If there are enough hands, maybe bimonthly. I’m gonna keep doing this but I encourage you to take it from me and make it more ‘ours’. I’m not even looking at submissions until next year. This is just a passion project until I’m making a dollar.

If I had a deeper vision for the project I’d say it would be to eventually give the Jamaican kickboxing forums wider representation; source other boards for culture and publish their shit, that might be neat. I’m sure we’ve all been part of other boards at some point so there’s likely hidden gems in each.

right now i already have about half the amount of submissions i would need for a magazine of the same size as 001.
it works out this way i think; at the next deadline weekend, if there are a Lot of submissions then we can distill the quality content. i guess the more submissions the higher probability of getting good shit.
i didn't turn anybody down last issue. everyone who submitted something got it in. depending on how this goes, that may not be the case going forward.

the design is an integral part of a lot of the stuff in 001, so rescalable text and choosing font doesnt work,
if you want something that is more focused on just the Begriffsinhalt of the texts without the dimension of visuall expression, look at The Lit Quarterly

most '''''artsy''''' zines do not work on ereaders for that reason, this isnt a fault nor ignorance towards epub from the side of the makers, this is your igrnorace interacting with a medium in the appropriate way

I read the whole issue and thought you did a good job. I have some general advice for the next

1. If this gets popular, more people will want to contribute and inevitably you'll get some crappy submissions that ought to be rejected. To avoid turning this into reddit, you should think carefully about what to reject and accept. You want variety, but I feel that if you don't prune stuff that is entirely unrelated to 4chan culture you'll end up with another general internet publication.

2. ~200mb is not acceptable for a PDF. You've used the wrong tool for this. Canva is okay for two page infographics but not for a 100 page document. There are plenty of better programs that can do vector graphics and render the whole thing in under 3mb.

3. The spelling and grammar errors look very bad. Basic copyediting would really improve the general quality of the magazine.

4. 100% keep it anonymous. If people really start crying over attribution, restrict it to trips and do it like the Economist does - recurring authors will just get their own column but not identity attached.

yeah i left all submissions unedited except for the very good ones which i copyedited (Justice, Divorcing America). i figured that their own errors made it more natural but there is an argument to be made for consistency.

yeah I like the mde stuff but 10 pages is ridiculous and dry essay stuff is boring, please more weirdo anons.

spelling and grammar errors are pure. The only reason this worked is because of ultra spontaneous OP, nothing will ever beat it
>>17033201
>their own errors made it more natural
nice

>100% keep it anonymous. If people really start crying over attribution, restrict it to trips and do it like the Economist does - recurring authors will just get their own column but not identity attached.
Entirely agree with this. In my opinion, even trips should not be done.

there was a philosophy essay on Berkeley and a bitcoin essay and a political essay i think which made of the bulk of the nonfiction (other than MDE) so that took up a good fraction of the total which made it a little dry. i feel like i put the MDE essay in the wrong spot too.

All it is essentially is a word processor with styling tools, which keeps the file size low. What you've got is a pdf of images, which can't really be converted to vectors.

>>	Anonymous Tue Dec 15 07:42:33 2020 No.17033491 i dunno if this will work but maybe a handful of people can be given access to the work-in-progress stuff and collaborate in the editing. gotta be careful who you give access to but this worked on google docs for previous collab work we did on lit
