Dear my beloved /lit/

I come to post some suggestions that I wish were stickied.

1. /lit/ does not give homework help unless the OP of a thread offers it.
2. /lit/ does not reference itself on other boards.
3. /lit/ will promptly ignore Twilight fans.
4. /lit/ is loved.
5. I love /lit/

Carry on.

>> No.655010

I'd like to add that there should be an Ayn Rand thread quota of no more than 2 a week.

>> No.655013

also, trainspotting is the best novel ever written.

>> No.655020

>4. /lit/ is loved.

This is dangerously close to the motto I saw ruin /co/.

>> No.655026

Also, /lit/ must make an official chart similar to the one by our friends at /mu/

With a short, "official" /lit/ critique so people can stop making fucking threads about it? Agreed.

>> No.655064

>>655052

Yeah, there are numerous "charts" when we can simply compile together and make the "ultimate official" chart to get those threads to stop.

>> No.655189

Ummmm. I can't think of any.

Revise the list and try to get it stickied now?

>> No.655209

I'll make a better one and post it a lot later. See if that gets mods attention.

>> No.655241

Good question,

I was thinking of a good tripcode since I'm here all the time and thought I should put a "name" out.

I was going to use a certain name (can't say) but the name associated me with other things such as submitted work, video games, contact information, etc.

So I thought "What would be a anon name that is recognizable?"

STALIN.

If this shit gets in archive, it needs to reflect that this thread's popularity is based on the recommended lists THAT WERE TACKED ON TO KEEP THE THREAD INTERESTING AND ALIVE and not the bullshit faggotry that OP is trying to pass as law, because OP is a faggot.
