Nothing wrong with the story, but why do you make these images? Wouldn't it be easier to just to copy-paste a link or the plain text?

>> No.1944346

Okay, a bit fantastic than scientific, but a great story is "The 9 Billion Names of God" by Arthur C Clarke.

>> No.1944386

>>1943087
We would, too.

>> No.1944387

>>1944328

it's easier to just pick up the images instead of wasting time copypasting every now and then.

Then again I could pastebin the whole thing...

Or you could pastebin a list of read-worthy stories and links to them? Keep a local copy and if the original goes down, pastebin your copy and update the link.

It would be easier to maintain.
