&amp Magazine Official Epilogue

[Anonymous No.22628053]

I've been trying to wait but fuck it. I can't compete on time with no lifers.

Hartley here boiz and I'm sorry to say that you must be living in the bad timeline. I've decided it's time to call it quits with &amp. I'm out and &amp is going with me.

Before I get into the details I want to thank everyone. All the anons. All the writers. All the haters. Couldn't have done it without you. &amp was special thanks to you. You helped keep the fire in me.

My dream since 2021 had been to grow the &amp empire and really see how high all us crazy fuckers can get on raw gumption. We soared. Now I'm seeing that I put that dream before a lot of really important things in my life. My friends. My ex. Myself. Stability. Success. I threw a lot away and I always turned back to &amp. But this is not a healthy relationship anymore and I won't drag it on longer. Things felt good but I stopped caring about the writing. I stopped wanting to do the work. I tried to redirect all my energy to new &amp possibilities but it's the same loop. The rush just burns me out. Instead of putting the work in on charging up the magazine I got my fix another way. I'm a junkie to the core.

I thought I was doing something important. Overseeing the growth of &amp. Trying to supervise. I wanted to elevate people. Channel my wisdom. But every supervisor knows they don't do jack. Maybe they used to be good. Maybe they used to be great. But they don't do the work. They don't love it. That's where I'm at. I'm just standing around in a flashy orange vest watching people fill potholes.

I've been falling into bad patterns. The patterns I had with my ex I started to repeat with Atlas. I've been called charismatic but I've also been called manipulative. Same thing. Once she left I felt bored. So bored. I realized then that I tried to trade &amp for pussy. I'm a primal man and it makes me lose my focus. Every great man has that weakness.

So now I need to look inward. I want to pack it all up. I know lots of you are going to be sad to see &amp go but the captain has to go down with the ship. Maybe some people will want to keep it alive. We've got some hard workers. But if I'm the King then the castle is mine. Experience shows that I'm the only one who can handle it all. This is a burden only I can carry. Best y'all can do is give it up. That's life.

After this the next time you hear about me will be when I make my first trillion. You'll all be invited to the party. When I blow it all you'll watch me make my second trillion.

lampbylit.com will stay up so long as I can keep the lights on. That's my Word. That's your Bible. Call it the New New Testament. Logos. Beware the false prophets (you know them). You can call today the new Sabbath because I need to rest.

Bless.

Good on you man. A real job is a great way to further your artistic ambitions. Really gets you hyped you up to get home and crank out all the pent up creativity you’ve been forced to bottle.
Honestly been kind of worried about you, This drug shit and hippy shit and domestic abuse shit and fake celebrity shit is no way for someone in their 40s to be living. I’ll say it again: good on you. I hope this is the start of a real recovery this time.

[Anonymous No.22629556]

I predict that you'll soon find out that having a creative outlet like &amp prevents you from getting really, really bored. Waging can't fill your life and make it worth living. (No need to even consider the incel NEET shutins...they're in a downward spiral of irrelevancy that everyone but they can see.) Given the utterly apathetic response to my writing, I'm sure it'll never amount to anything, but I still do it, because otherwise my life is really boring. You may take a break from &amp for a while, but you'll likely reach the same conclusion & resurrect some semblance of it.

[Anonymous No.22629604]

>>22629556
I find just stepping away and doing something new for awhile helps to re-focus the mind. We're living in totally insane times and 2023 has so many more challenges than 2018, much more difficult to survive as a writer in Canada and writing in Canada has never been less valued.

Culturally, this country is completely divided and conquered, and unless you have a built-in group to market to, nobody is going to read your shit. We are just too atomized up here. Why do you think we only have a couple known "artists" in this country? Because Canada has been completely globohomofied and people only discover "culture" by being spoon-fed their information through their smartphones which are controlled by foreign-designed algorithms that are sure as fuck designed to keep you on the plantation and consooooooming the culture the establishment wants you to consume.

We should all show respect that &amp has made it this far. I hope Ryan takes a break for awhile and then returns with his batteries re-charged. I spent a bunch of time this summer just fixing up the rock garden with my kid and building hamster mazes to get my mind off current events and the continued injustices towards people who refused the COVID "vaccine", as that shit has been memoryholed but the damage to people's incomes and trust of society is permanent at this point.

I checked out what the one anon said (>>22629858) and the submit page is definitely closed. Atlas definitely seems to have left, and the bizarre Facebook post is real.

I was thinking maybe the editor really did try to call it off, but changed his mind after? The 'epilogue' or whatever was also up on the site at the 'amp-is-dead' link last night but is gone now, while the 'alive' link is still up but links to a Gardner shill.

When going through the archives I noticed that the editor is apparently an Apple phonefag since a bunch of his posts seem to come up with the IMG_XXXX.jpg type of filename. It's definitely a mixed bag, but you can kind of tell when it's him if you go to some of the old threads. You can see him going off in the thread where Atlas apparently left. I'll post a new pic to shwo you what I mean.

Anon, don't go looking for other people to self publish you. It might feel good to say you're a published author but everyone can see through that in the same way they see through Woolston or Card's "published" works. &amp Standard was going to be the bargain basement version of the same vanity publishing scheme. There's far less shame in self publishing through Amazon.

[Anonymous No.22632114]

>>22631953
I just wish I could find an easy way to get people to read me. I struggle with finding an audience despite the fact that everyone who actually bothers to read me seems to think my stuff is really good. I've even gotten a couple of short stories and poems published by reputable establishments, too, so I actually do have some external validation that I'm a good artist from people that "matter."

But I have this big story and publication of the first book has eluded me for going on three years now. I thought &amp was going to offer me a venue going forward. At the very least, the notoriety and chaotic energy of being "a book published by 4chan" could have helped me gain an audience.

What the fuck do I do? My greatest fear is winding up as Melville, a great author nobody reads in his lifetime. I know based on the feedback of everyone who's read me that I am on my way to achieving the first half of that sentence, but the thought of achieving the second half of it too fills me with dread.

It sounds like you should work on publishing more poetry and short stories, especially if it has really only been a "couple" so far. And it seems unrealistic to start comparing yourself to Melville in terms of greatness; you're only making it worse for yourself by creating even larger expectations that you're not living up to. The Lamp Standard thing is just vanity self-publishing, and if you think &amp has some prestige or readership then (unless the editor has become a total miser) you can drop ads and excerpts in the standard issues anyway without having to hand your entire work over to them. Anyway I don't think &amp has the readership to bring you the numbers you think you need.

Don't just throw your work to the first person who'll take it if you think you're great (or even if you suck). If right now nobody takes it, write shorter things, submit them, and keep revising your larger work until you think you've improved enough to try a new round of submissions with it (to real publishers). Drop the unrealistic expectations because all they're giving you is frustration and an ego.

The website says it's just Amazon KDP.
>Lamp Standard Press is scouting for writing talent to join the ranks of our new publishing house, authors who are willing to lend their names to the official roster of the &amp Elite in exchange for a publishing kit, files and configuration instructions necessary to publish your novel on brand via KDP.
>Lamp Standard Press is offering free formatting: design work that will render your manuscript into a document, with cover art, print-ready for upload to KDP.

He went into more detail in a thread about it (>>22460623), but my first read of the above would be that it's a quasi scam in the same sense as those sorts of $X00 "exclusive" courses that'll show you how to make $X000 doing XX. But knowing more about the editor, I'd guess it's something along the lines of a internet cult kind of thing. You get a bunch of people committed to hyping you up and shilling your work in exchange for dedicating your own work to the "brand". He really seems to shill it from the perspective of community and all the free work he'll do for you. It's all the sort of thing you can't really say is wrong on the surface, but carries the aura of being a sketchy mess.

Given the dude's ego, manipulative tendencies, and past internet cult excursions (Tumple), the promise that you can leave any time (vaguely bypassing the discussion of copyright) probably means that he's just going to apply social pressure to keep you in and keep the "brand" growing. Given the guy's sudden jump to making &amp a Discord thing with more concrete hierarchy, it's clear he values the command and optics of power, regardless of what the outcome is. That's a paranoid take on it, but anyone promising you something for free is getting something else out of you in return.
>if you're not paying for a product
>then you're the product

I'll also throw in that the current trolling probably reinforces the cult garrison mentality. Dude sees himself as the Great Leader, and anything he can interpret as people being out to get him reinforces his belief in his importance, and the importance of his mission, and makes the people buying into it believe the same thing. The Discord shift even has the sort of social isolation element you'd expect out of a cult.

Oh and attracting vulnerable women so you can exert emotional/sexual power over them? That's like every cult leader ever.

Maybe I'm having too much fun with this interpretation, so feel free to tell me where I've got it wrong. Doesn't have to strictly turn out to be a cult in some religious/new-age sense, but it hits the notes of a manipulative social group. Dude is a cheerleader and a salesman at the bottom line.

>>22633834
I appreciate your perspective and concerns, but I'd like to address some of the assumptions and assertions made about Lamp Standard Press. As the editor of the internet magazine in question, I feel it's important to clarify the situation and defend our name.
First and foremost, Lamp Standard Press is not a cult or any form of manipulative social group. Our aim is to provide a platform for emerging writers to share their work, offering assistance with formatting and cover design to help authors self-publish through Amazon KDP. We do not ask for a commitment to any "brand" or engage in any coercive tactics to retain writers.
It's true that we emphasize the sense of community, as we believe in supporting one another in the writing and self-publishing journey. This sense of community is a positive aspect that many authors appreciate, but it is always voluntary. No one is pressured to stay or to dedicate their work to our "brand."
The recent move to create a Discord community is simply an effort to provide more direct and efficient communication and support for our authors. It is not a power grab or any attempt to isolate anyone; rather, it's a response to feedback from our authors who desired a more organized and interactive space. As for the suggestion that we attract vulnerable women for emotional or sexual power, I must strongly refute this claim. Such insinuations are baseless and damaging. Our intention is to foster a supportive and inclusive environment for all writers, regardless of their gender or background.
While skepticism is healthy when evaluating online opportunities, it's also important to give the benefit of the doubt and engage in open and honest communication to clarify any concerns. Lamp Standard Press is committed to providing valuable resources to authors and supporting their creative endeavors without ulterior motives or manipulative tactics.

Kinda pisses me off that the editor didn't think to re-upload his own copies and just re-linked that guy's stuff (unless I'm confused about who owns the files).

[Anonymous No.22640499]

Heya Atlas,

Ryan is a repeat offender and the cops probably don't like him much already. Keep a log of all your communications with him and file a police report for criminal harassment. If you've told him to stop, and he hasn't, you already have a case!

You can directly call the police station in his locale or nearby, probably the Vancouver PD, since if you call your local it'll just get transferred out anyway and you won't have direct communications. But if you go to your local you can do it in person and they'll get it to the right people.

If he's making threats, it's because he's scared (synonymous with anger for him) and hoping to make you more scared than he is. His Discord friends probably think he's a big retard right now, so are they going to back up his charade? Probably not. Plus, he's scared because you've put him in a bad spot, not because you're in trouble. He'll lie and threaten you, but that's about all he can do if you IGNORE him. The more he does, the bigger your case against him! And since he can't see you in person, everything he does will be logged somehow! He'll get angry if you IGNORE him, but the less you interact the less control he has!

Discord can be harder to log, but if you delete your account it'll force him to contact you by means you can log more easily! Look into features for auto-recording all phone calls and keep everything backed up.

Oh, and don't forget to use that Block feature! Turns out you can block all unknown numbers too! But you may need to take calls back from the police, and you may not know what number they'll use in advance, so be judicious. The police will want to help you.

Find someone you know IRL, like a counsellor, to talk to about this so that you have some contact with reality. They can help keep you in check if you get paranoid, and having someone stable outside of the problem will help deal with any dependence you had on Ryan for support! Remember: BE HONEST WITH THEM! They can only really help if you tell them the truth about everything! Counsellors also have a code of conduct and hear way more screwed up things, so don't be ashamed! Find someone IRL to help you make the report and speak to the police if you're too scared to do it alone!

Sincerely,

Alex Prestia

P.S. Ryan is a pussy!

At this point I don’t know what he’ll do in retaliation for me speaking out against him, but I can’t let him intimidate me. I’ve written everything out here.

You should visit the police station tomorrow to get everything straight. Def not worth it to wait since who knows you might relapse and get manipulated again. Make a report because that will send a message and even better if he gets arrested. The police will also know better if he tries to swat you after. If he threatens to go after you he has thousands of miles to go and the cops will grab him on the freeway easy. It's always better to deal with things before they get worse.

Comment:
SUBMISSIONS CLOSED
&AMP DONE FOR GOOD

&amp is officially shuttering, folks. I, Ryan (btw do you know who I am my girl? if you saw me IRL you'd understand), would like to apologize for some things. I brought all this down on &amp. I thought I was channelling The Good, I thought I was hearing His Voice, but it turns out those messages were just the after effects of a bad can of beans. Hard to get the good ones these days. Cash don't come easy when you're screwing fent into your veins.

But I do believe things will get better someday. &amp may never return, but, with a little luck (and lots of magic), I might one day beat a woman again. In the mean time I'll be stealing your submissions and sending them all off to real magazines. With your help I might scrape by enough for an hour with a whore. Or for a rock of crack. But probably more fent.

My final message to you was written up by our very own Atlas here:
>https://docs.google.com/document/d/10XHyjES5KLEV6geRObQUttLyzYaZfTM2k5vsyOlpeFw/edit


Remember that I loved you all, but not nearly as much as I love myself. And now I hate you. Fuckers. Untrustworthy little snipes. You'll fucking miss me!

Reposting the crackheaditor’s Facebook Manifesto about abusing women since the screencap got deleted LMAO

>when i was a little kid my mom would tell me i had a heart of gold. i protected my little brother so ferociously; i loved my bestie charlotte so warmly. i remember crying as a child when annie lennox sang that she 'dont love you anymore' because How Could You Not Love Someone Anymore?
>i have abused women physically and emotionally for about my whole adult life. it began in highschool when i learned that sex could be stolen like anything else, tho by lying to and manipulating women.
>sociopathic liars convince ourselves of our lies and as my lies layer by layer covered my life my identity solidified as a snake in the grass.
i cycled through relationships, using and abusing, cheating and stealing, gaslighting, assaulting, and deeply harming women. i sent girlfriends to family photos with bruises and cuts; i kidnapped girlfriends and kept them confined. my physical abuse was outweighed by my emotional abuse as i broke confidence and betrayed trust and convinced those i thought i loved that they were only worthy of being the object of my cruelty. the tiny light inside of me from my childhood that reflected off what was once my golden heart waned as my behaviours spiralled. i went in and out of jail. i became a criminal.
>i slowly transformed from a snake to a full scale monster. i got out of jail for the last time having been covered in so many layers of self-harm that i was unable to see the light inside. my mom cried for me and reassured me that my heart was still there, only buried.
> i searched myself for that shit hard under the influence of my shitty conditioning and i came up emptyhanded. i cycled more, but this time i knew i wanted out.
> flipping my shit has almost become a hobby for me it seems because after my dad's brain rebooted itself i realized a very inevitable path of servitude and conformity had been cleared for me as long as i was willing to sacrifice or at least compromise my creative spirit for security and routine.
> hungry for belonging but feeling disenfranchised by college and work and money and my own brutal self i decided to leave my toxic feedback loop and i split for smalltown bc to learn to become a farmer.
>i joined in a farm,
>i joined in a relationship,
>i joined in a business,
>a community, a clique, a co-op
> i honed my self-love, sometimes in peace, other times off the backs of others. i tried to inspect myself but i was unable to. i was still allowing my conditioning to dominate my behaviours towards women.
> i met a woman who changed everything for me and she was the softest most delicate thing ever
to bless me, and i learned how to practice greater care than ever before and within a couple years i was flying so high;
> hobbies, yoga, art, money, travel, food, adventure, music, laughter, and love i had it all. so much love.

>i was there. i could see the peak and i was climbing. i became so focused on this, money and bitcoin and hustles and planning, that i lost sight of the details id become known for taking such care of, id lost sight of The Now in which i was used to seizing, and before i could gasp, i was alone again.
>i cant see myself. there was no abuse, no cruelty, no harm. just an invisible selfishness that had an undetectable effect. my castle was dismantled in a day when i was asked to move out.
> my wig cannot flip any further. my smithereens cannot be crushed to be any smaller. my mind and my heart and my philosophy and my spirituality cannot be tested against my experiences any longer.
>i moved to vancouver and i fucked with a cult.
>Tumple has taught me that if my mode of self development is the reciprocation of emotional bonds, then i should be fostering those bonds primarily, and NOT attempting to realize directly the often sacred secondary situations those bonds release like friendship or love or sex while i’m unable to actually be responsible for my emotions and behaviours.
>Tumple has taught me that if sex is so sacred then i have been abusing myself and that is the reason why my heart and my dick dont speak anymore.
>Tumple has taught me that by being very careful and very deliberate, i can retain all of the good attention that i crave while avoiding that which im afraid of, that standing out for the right reasons can feed my spirit.
>Tumple has taught me that there are friends everywhere just waiting to be contacted and invested in and believed in and challenged, and that the internet is the new block party and that developing friends only happens when youre ready to stick your neck out.
>#Tumple has taught me, or allowed me to learn the degree to which sex is sacred and that has helped me choose celibacy for myself.
>ive learned that things are not what they seem, almost ever.
>ive learned that the strange truth ive always known isnt an illusion at all.
>ive learned that my power levels explode with potential when i stop talking from my broken ass heart and start channelling my true nature.
>i am learning a lot daily and most of it comes after ive spoiled or sullied something or someone within this cult and so one of the largest lessons ive learned is
>the harder i try
>the less it works

Ryan is an enigmatic character and he owns this board. Whatever Ryan does next will have the full attention of /lit/, because he has established himself as an icon here. This will attract the people who admire him for his talent and perseverance, but will also attract people who will hate him because he does and creates despite his flaws. We all have flaws, but it is what we do with our strengths that counts.

This will just be a blip in the &amp radar eventually, because Ryan will come back even stronger in the next chapter of his life. The question is, will the haters drown out the people that cheer him on?
