[Anonymous No.18880849]

I've been monitoring /lit/ the past month, searching threads and keeping tabs on what gets mentioned.

These are the 4 most mentioned 21st C authors on this board, what what they're shilling.

So, explain yourself /lit/. Why are your standards so low? Also, recommend better new authors.

Jigoku's supposed to be good from the threads I've seen. The general concenus about F Gardener is that he puts out one really good book every now and then. I guess if you write as many book as that guy does you can write a good book ever now and then. I've seen it happen before with writers and I suspect it's a true phenonium.

Hey, John David Card.
I've noticed you've been covertly shilling yourself on the board for the past few weeks.
You make threads about various topics, insert your image, your name and your books thinking no one will notice.
Well I've noticed. Your jew face tells it all.
What's funny is that no one really cares, because no one cares about you or your books. You even use Waldun to shill yourself.
All I wanted to say is that it's kinda sad.
I hope you get a public of dumb faggots so that some day you may leave this board and stop shilling yourself in stupid ways.

Not Gardener. Because he’s some sort of glowie. Advertises ONLY on 4chan. Not to mention the content of the books. It’s the most fucking obvious psy-op ever and /lit/ fell for it hook line and sinker. I guarantee their entire plan was for you to view him as just some shill as a smokescreen. This happens all the time on 4chan and gets called out constantly.
