Yes. But it's still a guilty pleasure of mine

All fan fiction is degenerate.
That being said, it's fun to read sometimes so who the fuck cares.
>>
Hell, video games and TV shows are shit in the first place. In addition, popular music, chain restaurants, practically any movie that gets a wide release, etc, are all shit as well, and I don't engage in them.

Prove that you are living a non-degenerate, family based lifestyle which encourages the institution of private property or I will turn you into a consumer good and utilize your labor as the means of production.

sleep tight Plato
Is Mushishi /lit/ approved?
Pastoral detective folk tales with a nomadic philosopher protagonist seems like an understandable niche /lit/ anime.

Hey /lit/
Can you guys recommend me some Weird/Cosmic Fiction? I've made my way through Machen, Poe, Lovecraft and Ligotti. I'm looking for something in this vain.
Thanks in advance

Judging by your list, you have a good idea of where to go. But William H Hodgson's The House On The Borderland is a big text in weird lit. He wrote other weird stories, but they are interminable seafaring tales, badly written.
Arthur Conan Doyle, between Sherlock Holmes, submitted horror and suspense tales to magazines. About a dozen of them are collected in a Wordsworth volume. Some of them feel a lot like Lovecraft e.g. The Terror Of Blue John Gap.

Bumping for further suggestions

>>8534458
Clark Ashton Smith is one of my favorites. He was a friend of Lovecraft's too; he's definitely on par with HPL, and sometimes even better.

To get started:
Morel says, “When all the senses are synchronized, the soul emerges".
The recreation in reality of the past events supplants the current reality of their participants. What I don't understand is why? Why does the original have to dissipate for the copies to live on eternally?

>>8534484
don't you remember whenhe lost his hand to the camera? Morel invented the technology as a kind of suicide trap for his narcissism & props

Not smart
Sometimes I really hate being a human, /lit/. I am a revolting sack of meat and fluid, filled with waste product in perpetual need of discharge, and that distresses me. I want to dehumanize myself. Let's discuss literature that deals with similar feelings and perhaps can aid in dehumanization.

I think (but am not sure that) I might have been more inclined towards reading this person's books if they had a beard, or at least looked less like some fancy version of an evolved bird pokemon, which (bird pokemons) I've always had a certain distaste for
