When do people will finally understand that the only difference between fanfiction and fiction is the social construct of copyright laws?
They are both literature.
>>
we don't even have a literature board anymore

Hello Dr. Sadler, I like your videos.

>>9913704
Goals of 4000 a month are unreasonable, George weidmann got around that amount but he has 300000 subscribers and stands as one of the most distinct and prolific video creators in a popular sub section of YouTube. Less popular non gaming creators have done very well from patreon but they had a very visible brand from previous exposure e.g Colin moriarty.
You must build your audience and improve your production standards before going to crowdfunding.

I finally got around to reading Out of the Silent Planet and, being a fan of CS Lewis in general, I have to say it was awful. My questions:
1) Is "flawless characters pontificate on the correctness of the author's world-view while people representing his ideological opponents are silly and get rightly chastised" the lowest form of message fiction?
2) Is the rest of The Space Trilogy worth reading?
I did like the world-building and the idea of the Earth and humans being corrupted and cut off, but the actual plot was insufferable.

Are you the fucking cock sucker who recalled it from the library while I was reading it?

No, I bought a copy because I'm an autist and like books on shelves.

The Scewtape Letters are his only good book.

>This rejection of conventional forms of intellectual discussion is linked to Stirner's substantive views about language and rationality. His unusual style reflects a conviction that both language and rationality are human products which have come to constrain and oppress their creators. Stirner maintains that accepted meanings and traditional standards of argumentation are underpinned by a conception of truth as a privileged realm beyond individual control. As a result, individuals who accept this conception are abandoning a potential area of creative self-expression in favour of adopting a subordinate role as servants of truth. In stark contrast, Stirner insists that the only legitimate restriction on the form of our language, or on the structure of our arguments, is that they should serve our individual ends. It is the frequent failure of ordinary meanings and standard forms of argument to satisfy his interpretation of this criterion which underpins Stirner's remorselessly idiosyncratic style.

And yet it's the (((neocons))) and zionists who want to keep it illegal. We're not falling for your tricks, rabbi
Having said that, however, if you need drugs to understand philosophy then you're a filthy disgusting pedestrian.

Whoever wrote that didn't get the meme. It's not
Virgin bad Chad good, Chad is the opposite of the Virgin taken to natural extremes. If the Virgin sits quietly, Chad will never stop making a sound for hours etc. It's a really simple meme and it's obviously frustrating that people don't get it.

Who else here /roman rite only/? What can we do to reverse the spread of the novus ordo and restore the true mass to all of the faithful?

>>9913152
Unfortunately not, though I did go to my first solemn mass and it was probably the most ecstatic experience I've had in a long time. Too bad the archbishop ruined it by playing the victim card in his sermon.
