A name for fan-fic board.

/wrt/ - writing and critique
or /crt/

/fic/ - Fanfiction/Critique

hiroyuki bring back philosophy, and let all books be read on this board. please hiroyuki-sama please

/fag/

>>7317709
Delete /his/ and then either ban fan fiction or allow it to be posted on /co/ or some shit

HIROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

BRING /PHIL/ BACK

A FAN-FIC BOARD IS NOT NEEDED

Forget about that. Please let philosophy on /lit/, otherwise /lit/ is shit.

Thank you papa hiro.

>>7317709
Thanks hiroyuki-senpai, you are the best

no fan fiction only one anon asked for that rule gone. thread in archive says no from almost everyone else

>>7317709
/fic/-Fanfiction/Critique

Just like /ic/

Also hiro can you please clarify the position of discussing philosophy on /lit/?

>>7317709
/faf/
/fic/

Start a /phil/ board for philosophy too please.

Of the two, fan-fic. bring philosophy back, just leave history/humanities that aren't lit/phil

>>7317752
no, just leave phil books as books. no more new boards they're killing /lit/

/ff/
or /fic/

>>7317734

>Having a separate board for history makes sense on at least some level (even though it's a complete failure in practice -- /his/ is flooded with garbage threads, whereas the history threads on /lit/, though rare, were usually pretty great with tons of good book recommendations). But literature, the humanities and philosophy? Philosophy is a form of literature (even quite apart from the fact that philosophy completely permeates fiction and vice versa), and literature as a subject belongs to the humanities... the split is absurd. Where do I go to discuss Nietzsche, one of the great German prose stylists, and should his Thus Spoke Zarathustra be discussed on one board but Beyond Good and Evil on another? Where do I go to discuss a religious work of fiction, like the Book of Job? (Yeah yeah, fedoras, whatever.) What about Paradise Lost? And while we're at it, why should ancient languages be discussed alongside law, but not alongside literature? None of this makes any sense.

>>7317709
/mtg/ when?

Call it /fic/

Also, please allow philosophy to be discussed on /lit/ as it used to be.

>>7317762
this this this

>>7317759
I second this.

We need to not be mindlessly splitting things up for the loud minority.

please don't neuter this board any further.

>>7317770
This.

We should be allowed to discuss philosophical themes in literature and philosophical works here.

/his/ can talk about overarching subjects and stoner philosophy.

>>7317709
/fan-fiction/
And please allow philosophy on both /lit/ and /his/.

>>7317772
Fanfic is not allowed here though.

Delete /his/. It's where /lit/ and /pol/ rejects go.
Keep Philosophy and history (all one thread of it every month) here.

>>7317779
fanfic should be allowed on /lit/
since it's losing philosophy

Hiroyuki please make it clear where discussion of philosophy belongs. Right now /lit/ and /his/ both tell us to go to the other.

Call fanfic /fic/

>>7317759
this

>>7317709
Whatever it is, I hope the name does not exceed more than 3 letters.

>>7317779
Critique threads are though, which should stay here. Not a major part of the board, but they'd probably go into whatever bunny man would create.

>>7317783
>since we got cancer, we should get more cancer
pls no

>>7317783
We already had this discussion and the overwhelming majority stated that fanfic should not be allowed here.

Philosophical works and philosophy in lit fiction should be allowed here

>>7317791
most responses to that disagree people who read philosophy aren't also fiction readers. stop shitting your own posts everywhere like people agreed with you

>>7317709
delete /his/

1st:
Thank-you for /his/!!!
2nd:
fanfic should be /fic/

>>7317799
Too many people saying
>>>/his/
But I want philosophy on both boards

>>7317799
Some people tell us not to but many of us believe we should.

Can you make it clear that we're allowed to?

>>7317791
No, this is: >>7317759
Besides, to get the intelligent discussion you must tolerate the shitposts.

>>7317799
because people spam >>>/his/ into those threads.

philosophy is something you need to read books and literature to understand. it should stay here

>>7317800
There's always going to be shitposters. It's not a matter of where you want them to go for your convenience, but where these things logically belong. There's no reason to have so many boards when it can be grouped into one within reason.

/fic/ - fanfiction & critique

>>>7317759
>philosophy is a form of literature

By that argument, so is economics, or anything else. If it's written down, you have subsumed it into your category of 'literature'.

And that is absurd.

>>7317791
No absolutely not holy shit.

either boards are okay, I think.

>>7317799
Because there is many people on /lit/ who believe that philosophic literature is not allowed on /lit/ because the sticky over on /his/ implicitly mentions it.

They are convinced that /his/ is the ONLY place for philosophy and it cannot be discussed here.

So far the janitor's have not taken this stance but almost every thread with any sort of philosophic undertones gets shitposted into oblivion.

How about /gtfo g00k/

>>7317709

Throwing in a ticket to keep philosophy on /lit/.

The quality of those threads were very high. Philosophy and literature are so intimately related that the split hardly makes sense.

>>7317799
They are lying. They complain because they can't shitpost about philosophy (ie make stupid threads like "is suicide moral?"), they don't want to talk about actual books.

>>7317799
Because /his/ is History and Humanities
'Humanities' includes philosophy so it would off-topic to talk about philosophy on /lit/ instead of /his/

Change /his/ to /hff/ - History and Fan Fiction

You can't post a topic about fan-fic on /lit/ so that some users need a place to talk about fanfic somewhere.
That's the reason I want to make a new board.

Can we have an entire board for David Foster Wallace instead called /dfw/?

>>7317709
Hiro-san, the philosophy posters drown out literature discussion with posts like: "what is the meaning of lie" that have no books or literature connection.

Mr. Hiroyuki Nishimura, I was banned the other day for posting a thread about Emerson and Heidegger. Another one of my threads was deleted earlier today. The moderators on this board are in over their heads and unworthy of their power. If you want a true commander of /lit/, someone who will kick in the door so that the whole rotten edifice will come tumbling down, place the crown upon my head and together we will usher in a golden age of literary discussion.

>>7317799
There are rumors that philosophy threads are getting deleted, and posters, some sincere, some not, spam >>>/his/ in all of them.

>>7317869
Is that entirely necessary though?
Not a lot of people seem to want that.

>>7317869
It would greatly please a portion of /co/ and even /tv/ too, definitely a good idea. It's not like it is going to hurt this board or anyone else.

>>7317890

As long as people can still post their own writing on /lit/ I have no problem with a board dedicated to pure fan fiction.

Because not all creative writing is fan fiction and truth be told the quality of posters on the new board will probably be sub par

>>7317880

>>7317905
Start with the pleb shit like Stephen King pls.

Please, please delete the 'his' board and leave us alone.

Although not without problems, /lit/ was for the most party a very niche and unique board, often perceived as the "most serious" "most intelligent" or "with the best taste" ( not only in literature) on 4chan.
Basically a relatively tiny "intellectual" community on the outskirts of 4chan. Sure, we suffered from the same problems all 4chan board do, but that's because of the very nature of this site. If anything, /lit/ was the most worthwhile board with a pretty solid identity and (in comparison to other boards) plenty of worthwhile content.
Now, by creating those ridiculous divisions, you're risking destroying all of that. A new board without a proper "culture", or rather userbase and identity might fail terribly, result in a flood of trolls and absolutely 0 worthwhile discussion. A literature-only board might fail on it's own, because of not enough topics/interest, a divided userbase and many people simply giving up on it, because of the drastic division.
In the end you might kill the all-in-all pretty wonderful /lit/, end up with a dead literature board, a shitty /his/ board and a lot of the user base simply giving up on the site/discussin humanities on 4chan.

tl;dr FUCK OFF, humanities are already a niche and we were doing fine, on our little board, with all it's pros and cons, it's a worthwhile and unique place, no need for you to stick your nose in and fuck everything up.

>>7317957
philosophy is not literature.

>>7317938
Make a /kino/ or /cin/ so some of us on /tv/ can actually discuss real films. There are currently no film threads on /tv/ and haven't been any in months.

Hiroyuki, can you please comment on whether or not we can get new janitors? There's clearly a lot of people who are very invested in this board and I don't think the current mods are being proactive enough.

Also can you have them ban pedolit discussions?

Thank you Hiro =3

I think maybe that "and Humanities" should be removed from "History."

History is a big enough subject to sustain its own board.
Literature is also.

Philosophy isn't.

So, philosophy and other humanities should not have their own board, but should just float between boards.

Any thing that is esoteric or general "philosophizing", or just talking about philosophers, can go to /his/

>>7317993

2. Religion is not.

That's it.

>>7317869
If there is a fanfiction board that also emphasizes writing and critique, then we will see the same debate over where philosophy belongs happen over writing and critique threads. I'm not against the idea, but there should be the clarification that critique threads belong on both boards.

>>7317993
You should write that philosophy is allowed here and fan fiction should be taken to /fic/ or /crt/ or whatever and that new janitor positions are open!!

>>7317993
"philosophy book is ok on board"

>>7317960
I have to disagree with this. The Tao te Ching and Ecclesiastes are some of the most beautiful passages ever preserved in history. There should always be a space there on /lit/.

>>7317968
Philosophical literature belongs on /lit/. I agree that pure philosophy topics should be somewhere else.

>>7317986
I think this means people want a 'humanities' board, besides /lit/ and /his.

>>7317993
>Philosophy threads are permitted on /lit/. On /his/ also. Please do the needful and understand.

I just got a warning for starting a book request thread on /his/.

Apparently book threads belong on /lit/ even if they are about history. Similarly I would think, it would apply to philosophy

>>7317993

There have been a couple people here asking for such, I suppose, but it's not really /lit/ you should be asking. Ask /co/ and /tg/ if you want. /lit/ doesn't really attract those kinds of people anymore.

Stress that politics and anything related to anime is forbidden and that philosophy is okay, as long as it is not analytic philosophy. Crown me as the spiritual leader of the board and tell them that my words are law.

Hi hiroki, frequent /a/, /co/, /cm/ and /tv/ lurker who happened upon thus thread. Before you make board you should maybe ask for comments from those boards, they will have a lot of interest and good questions within the bag of shitposts you will get in those threads.
You will have to make clear what is allowed and not and how links to tumblr fanfiction net and ao3 fits in.

>>7318026
we will write poems of this glorious day, hiroyuki, thank you.

How about just a general writing board hiroyuki-sempai? Or do you consider this our writing board?

>>7318004
Tell-tale sign of someone who doesn't know anything about philosophy. Go back to your Harris threads, cluck.

Nobody has offered a reason why he shouldn't make a fanfiction board aside from a vague conception that 'it will attract more dumb people to the site'. Considering the existence of boards like /b/, I think that ship has long-since sailed. Might as well throw one up.

>>7318008

We have to talk about DFW and DeLillo here.

I gotta say thought, your commitment ot improving this site and involvement with community is admirable. I still think /his/ is not the best idea, but if it's going to stay, the best thing you can do it delete the "& Humanities" and leave that to /lit/, thus leaving it unchanged.

>>7318018
This.

Discuss Wittgenstein's Tractus. Don't discuss analytic vs continental.

this is so weird /lit/ getting all this attention
i feel uncomfortable
this is my slowposting obscure haven of 4chan, i don't want all this scrutiny and involvement

>>7318016
Kierkegaard is obviously philosophy.

>>7318018
This please. Don't only say "philosophy is ok", philosophy without literature has NEVER been allowed on this board.

>>7318029
>This pleb hasn't read Paradise Lost or any other Milton

Why are you even here?

>>7317799
They can talk about books here, but that is not what they are doing.

They are talking about ideas and abstract thoughts, nothing of a book.

That is why we /his/ them. if they talk about books it's fine, but they don't

>>7317959
/asp/ covers this. I've only been to it a few times though and it was pretty slow.

>>7318000
This, if you want a book about the sengoku jidai period, go here. If you want to discuss the period itself, go to /his/

>>7318047
And what about the Tao Te Ching?

>>7318033
No. Stop fucking trying to attract garbage to /x/. We've had enough. We've been raped by cancer non-stop for eight years and we STILL have no signs of getting fixed.

yeah but it's been tolerated by default due to lack of moderation

/x/ doesn't want religion. Occult was fine but somehow a bunch of Baptists found the board and started posting generic bible quotes and pictures of Jesus. It's like an old grandma on Facebook.

Every thread shouldn't have to be about a specific book. Broad, abstract threads are the best because not everyone has the same taste in literature and many do not read the same books. As long as the thread is not about anime, analytic philosophy, politics, and other philistine interests, it should be allowed.

A fanfiction board is unnecessary. You would do better to make /his/ history exclusive and leave humanities discussion to /lit/

>>7318044
If I was boss I would do this. /his/ will always attract /pol/ and /int/.
Take the "& Humanities" away from /his/ and put it on /lit/, it makes more sense that way and it is basically how we have always used /lit/ anyway.

>>7318055

Demon knowledge role play is pretty /x/

>>7318041
Strawman. Fuckoff christposterfagasshgole.

>>7318052
The /his/ thread will inevitably turn into recommending books.

>>7318055
This. /x/ has been shit on for years, and all or the good trips have left.

hiro, how do i report threads? i've been wanting to ask someone but i know i'll get bitched out for being a newfag if i ask anyone but you :3

>>7318026
based admin!

Please state in the sticky

"Discussion of philosophical and religious literature is allowed on /lit/. Discussion of philosophy and religion alone should be on /his/."

>>7318064
>i cant do math so analytic philosophy sucks

Sticky should be: Books and their contents and context can be discussed here, including Philosophy and the other humanities, I think.

>>7318042
/b/ is different. It has a cultural history, and there's a difference between /b/ and another board that will attract undesirables. More common boards = more mainstream audiences = changing 4chan. We've already got a culture of ironic shitposting, we don't need an influx of, excuse my language, normalfags. Is there really even demand for a fan-fiction board? I really don't see any reason FOR it.

Hey Hiro why is avatar posting allowed despite being against the rules? We have at least three trips who constantly violate this rule.

>>7318053
It is a BOOK.

Therefore it can be discussed.
It's a lot simpler than you think, with your convoluted /phil/ brain.

>>7318069
Have you even been to /his/? Maybe the thread will recommend a daily mail article...

Why are you being so democratic? Delegate some of your power to me and I will take care of the trouble here while you are out looking at the pyramids or whatever. Trust me. I know what is best for them.

>>7318071
Click the triangle right of the post number.

>>7318064
please don't listen to this guy he is the worst tripfag on the entire board.

>>7318067
And that's the fucking problem

I always just assumed that the shock of switching the subject mater taken for granted on /lit/ and moving it to /his/ would kill the vibe and start something new anyway. Those who live in the past don't seem to last.

>>7318047

What about his theo texts?

What happens to discussion of the Greeks if /phil/ is created? Would they go there or /his/? DEAR GOD, WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE GREEKS!!!!

>>7318058
Just make a religion/spiritual board already. More demand for that than fanfiction. Would clean up the stuff we don't want in /x/, which has no rules and no specific focus other than a vague cultural idea that is outdated because of newfags (and it's a creepy board at its heart anyway).

>>7318093
Should be allowed.

Threads that shouldn't are

"Why aren't you Christian yet?"
"What prayers do you like?"
"When did you realize Kabbalistic Sufism is the only path?"
etc.

>>7318090
The problem has to do with the fact that /lit/, stuck in its ways as ever, did not get broadly decimated by the tactic. Ergo the creation of the fanfic board and allowance of philosophy books. That should shake you up a bit... introverts.

>>7318098
put your trip back on twiggy.

>>7318082
I, for one, vote against you.

>>7318090
Books involving religion should be on /lit/.
Books of philosophical musings should be on /lit/.

/lit/ should not contain threads about anything that is not a written body of text. It can contain tangentially relevant information, but threads must always start about some writing.

I've posted this before. Thoughts?

1/2

The young soldier knew that the rules of war forbade attacking hospitals, medics and wounded soldiers, but he also knew that men full of bloodlust rarely followed rules of conduct. “Get the wounded out of here!” He yelled as he grabbed the rifle from the fallen soldier’s twitching fingers. Outside, the northern countrymen were swarming from the river like a plague of frogs. The young soldier crouched behind sand bags that had been stacked along the edge of the beach and fired upon the enemy. To his astonishment, every time his rifle passed over an enemy soldier his heart jumped into his throat and he found he couldn’t pull the trigger. “They look just like me,” he realized. Though their hair was much darker than his, and their eyes more like almond in shape, they were young men just like him, young men with eyes full of fear that they might never see tomorrow.
A man was next to the young soldier, yelling at him to pick the gun back up. He did and rather than shoot at the enemy soldiers he shot at their feet. The bullets kicked up sprays of sand and silt, causing the enemy soldiers to skid to a stop and dive for cover behind dunes and trees.
Somewhere behind him he heard a familiar voice yell “The wounded are secured! Fall back!” The soldiers hiding behind the walls of sandbags turned and ran for the trucks. As the young soldier ran back through the empty hospital to the trucks he stumbled over the body of the same soldier that had been shot through the back. To his surprise, the man let out a faint, painful sounding wheeze. He was still alive, but in their haste the hospital staff had filed to check him for a pulse. With great difficulty, the young soldier carried the man on his shoulder to the trucks, most of which were already a great distance down the road. As a tree of helping hands pulled the half-dead soldier onto the last truck, the young soldier felt something like an electric shock run through him, and his left leg went limp underneath him. All of a sudden his head felt like it was full of cotton, and the last thing he remembered before he passed out was an arm wrapping around his.

Hiro, I don't think 4chan would become better with a fanfic board. Just look at this thread, there are hardly any (I haven't spotted any at all) who are interested. So, from within 4chan there's not much interest.
If anything, making a fanfic/creative writing board will attract even more people from outside 4chan instead of help the ones already here. Now whether that's good or bad is a whole other discussion, but personally I think we'd be better off without newcomers for the time being.

>>7318076
I don't think I have seen evidence for desire for a fanfiction board here on /lit/, but I have definitely seen it on other boards.
I guess it's sort of like how lots of boards currently have NaNoWriMo threads, but here it is (rightfully) disregarded as plebeian

>>7318042
Just like aco, a fanfiction board would filter alot of the porn and fetish shitposts on not only /co/ but I assume /tg/ and /vg/. Any problems they would have would not affect you guys in any way. I say we need it. And if we are wrong, we can get rid of it later. If that board can have the chance to create and critique in the midst of all the shitposting, why not?

Hiro, if enough people ask you to, will you ban the avatarfag who's been posting in this thread?

>>7318115
>implying that would be bad

>>7318124
yes please. please ban twiggy.

>>7318117
Maybe now I'm coming on a bit too strong with the fantasy element out of nowhere. I think I need to blend this better and leave more of the fantasy to mystery (2/2)

After a third day spent trying to repair the broken radio, the one-legged soldier was growing desperate for a way to pass the time. His eyes wandered to his father’s collection of scriptures. The texts, he found, were every bit as daunting as he had imagined they would be. biblical quotes and odd phrases were intertwined with strange charts shaped like cypress trees that burned with letters and pictures of intersecting wheels made of wings with eyes along axels. There were drawing of tiny men in the heads of tadpole-shapes and scriptures meant to be painted across the fingers so that with the bending of each joint new passages were formed speaking rephrasings of the same psalm.

What the young soldier had found, though at the time he was scarcely aware, were compilations of great and mysterious magics. There are not a people upon the earth without their own tradition of sorcery, and form he had found from his father’s texts, Kabbalah was among the oldest that remained. What the boy learned from those strange texts was a connection many great rabbis over history had sought to understand. That man is the creation of god was no secret, nor was it that the souls within men were a piece of his divine being. But there existed other beings cut from the same divine cloth, strange and powerful things known as angels who were more soul than body. Those texts said in no uncertain terms that the line between angel and man was an illusion of human construction, and that our heavenly rank, that of the Ishim was entitled to similar powers to those held by the greater ranks, and lastly that one who could comprehend the true implications of this relationship could shed their mortal attachments to become beings known as the Bene Elohim.

Thoughts?

basically at the end of the day, i just want people who write fanfiction to be unfulfilled and to not be able to share their terrible work. please don't make this board, and instead continue to deny them any avenue for their awful hobby.

>>7318119
I think /tg/ and /co/ would like /fic/. I know /mlp/ definitely would but GR15 would prevent them from posting there unfortunately--would get those generals broken up.

I'm going to sleep now Hiro

Thanks for allowing philosophy, I think

Thank you Based Hiro

what does avatarfag mean? is that the same as a tripfag like twiggy?

>>7317926
>>7317928
It's utter shit and it will remain utter shit for a long time, as it needs to from it's identity, how the threads and discussion will actually look. Is it going to be another /int/ batner, or /pol/ nutjobs taking over, or a cesspool of memens, or what.
Even when it forms it's identity it will keep attracting wider pol/int audiences, and it's very unlikely that it be on /lit/'s level (for all it's faults) at all.
>>7317932
Acceptable.

>>7318119
Even though I don't agree entirely, a fanfic board seems kind of pointless to me too. A Critique Board, where people could discuss poetry, prose and even fanfic itself would be so much better and useful for everyone.

Thanks, based Hiro.

Not if moderation is enforced. Seriously, look at all the occult posters on /x/ and the potential religious posters elsewhere. This alone is enough of a demand, and posts can be regulated. /x/ would be free to go back to being a creepy board, and oldfags from /x/ would return along with all the people from other boards who would post on /x/ if it weren't for all the shit reputation it has.

Here's some more if you're interested.

Seven times the soldier awakened only briefly, his head feeling like it was full of mattress foam, and seven times he fell back into a poppy-scented trance. When he finally awoke for real he was in a hospital, and not one with tarp walls and dirt floors. A woman he recognized as his mother sat in a chair by his bed. She offered him a paper cup of water and he realized his throat was dry and faintly crusty, as if he had slept for days with his mouth open. After some terrible hospital food, pills the size of his thumb, and a nurse with a voice like the whirr of a lawnmower informing him he was a very lucky man, the soldier left the hospital in a wheelchair with his left thigh wrapped in plaster.
The one-legged soldier found that the return to civilian life was not as pleasant as he had anticipated. Though his room was a good deal more comfortable than the trenches he had slept in, and though pastrami on rye was a large improvement on hard tack and canned meat, bed rest was a tragically boring prescription in the days when television was a luxury. As it was his was a family of modest wealth supported by the salary of a lone rabbi, one with a single broken radio and an ice box in place of a refrigerator. The soldier had sent money home to his family, but only a small portion of it had paid for anything other than groceries and rent. Though the rabbi kept a rather large library for a tenement that small, most of the books were religious scripts, translated badly from greek, yiddish and polish if they were translated at all. Within the first two days, the restless soldier had read through the few gems that were to be found: several magazines on the sciences of the day, two pulp fiction journals and a poorly-translated french short story called Ball of Fat.

avatarfag is someone who keeps posting with a specific image or images of the same character/thing as an identifier

>>7317967
With how 4chan functions traditionally it does. When something is said by staff to be the board for X, that means any conversation about X on other boards is redirected to that board. As most boards are large and contain a lot of possible content, it's helped define more clearly where someone should go if they want to participate in conversation about X.

Of course, as soon as you mention, as you have, that philosophy is allowed on both boards that is negated. But it is important to note that ruling on one board does affect other boards.

>>7318140
Avatarfagging is regularly accompanying your posts with the same picture or derivatives of it, usually as a complement to tripfagging. It's also against the rules and bannable on every board with active mods.

/his/ is fine. The only problem it has are the idiots from /pol/ who start shit and the idiots who can't ignore them. The majority of threads are great and entertaining. It's already shaping up to be one of the better boards on the site.

>>7318144
Yeah, that would definitely be a better idea, but I doubt it would have much traction either way. From having been on other forums with literature subforums where people shared their writing, my experience is that people share but nobody reads what the others share. Since it takes substantially longer and much more effort to read and critique even single-page writing than for instance an image, music, video etc. Especially on the effort front.

Tl;dr, from experience, people in literature critique forums submit but don't actually read others' because it's more effort to critique than other art forms.

>>7318150
This is easily the best oc I've seen on lit.

I think it goes in the critique thread.

You asked for more, you got it. Thanks for all the positive feedback.

The young soldier was stationed in hospital by a spindly river on the southern half of that eastern country. Calling it a hospital was like calling a threadbare tent a mansion, but on a battlefield there is only ever a mimicry of order. As a medic, the young soldier saved the lives of many of his brothers in arms, but for every soldier he saved, two more died under his care. After each patient he treated, the soldier sat on a plywood bench and thought to himself how cruel it all was. For though he brought many men back from the brink of death, he could only ever heal, and never protect. He thought about how, like the politicians and generals who sent his brothers in arms to their deaths from between cushy leather chairs and shiny mahogany desks, he had never risked his life for them, and he wondered whether that made him as heartless as them. He knew deep within him that his worries were foolish, but when a man sees his friends die, the saddest parts of him wish he had been there with them.

On summer morning as the sun turned red on the horizon, the northern countrymen surged forth and overwhelmed the camp. Men barely awake stumbled to their rifles and were shot before they could raise them to aim. Realizing this was not a battle that could be won, the soldiers of Ziz and the Southern Country ran to their trucks while a few braver men returned held back the enemy advance. In the hospital, the doctors, nurses, and the young soldier too began carrying the sick and wounded into the backs of their trucks.
As a tiny nurse dragged a bandaged man towards the trucks, a bullet tore through the tarp of the hospital tent and she fell dead on the dirt floor. An grey haired old doctor yelled out in pain, clutching gauze to a wound on his shoulder. A hoarse-voiced soldier in barged in to the tent and yelled that the northmen had broken through before a spray of bullets tore through his back and out his front.

hey hiro. i appreciate your work. /his/ was a great idea, please carry on.

Hiroyuki, i knew that this question isn't really about this thread but it's important to me and i missed the q&a threads.
As it is now /r9k/ is just a third /b/. We already have /b/ and /s4s/, /r9k/ could have a real purpose.

A significant part of /r9k/ are the "robots". We do not have a real homeland and we're trying to settle in /r9k/ and have been trying to do so for a long time. We're the reason for most of the culture on /r9k/.

If you were to decide that /r9k/ is the virgin homeland us robots could finally have a home and the culture of /r9k/ would flourish.
In it's current state /r9k/ is mostly about conflict or /s4s/-tier shit, the board would be very good if you decided to make it the robot homeland.

/r9k/ means a lot to many people, robots are the kind of people that can never find a place in real life or in any other site, making /r9k/ the robot homeland would mean a lot for all of us and would stop /r9k/ from being just a battleground of shit.

Hiro, if you're here, the board people really want it /l/.

scifi and fantasy fit nicely in /lit/, no? It's not like /lit/ is overwhelmingly busy as it is

4chan needs to return to its roots, and allow pedo discussions again. Right now I feel that people enjoy censoring all what they don't like nor understand (something more proper of uneducated people than smart users). And the second anon is right, in the last "pedolit" thread we had a really nice chat about literature, better than usual, thanks to a open minded group of users that don't fear meaningless bans.

Hiroyuki-san, give us a /pedo/ board, please.

>>7318300
>>>/b/
>>>8/hebe/

>>7318300
It'd be /l/, fagtron. Besides, if 2d non-lewd discussion of lolis are allowed on /a/, why shouldn't /pedolit/ be allowed here?

honestly if you needed this >>7317820 to be okay with posting anything get off 4chan

twiggy put your trip back on

hiro pls ban twiggy

>>7318265
Look at this guy. You are dismissed. No thank you.

>>7318300
Stop trying to get multiple unneeded boards made. If it's /lit/ and not against the rules, discuss it on /lit/.

Says the guy posting in the wrong thread?

Here's more for the fans:

I was eight years old when my grandmother died, so may she forgive that I don't remember her face or voice. In truth I have memories from when she was still alive and healthy, but those are of my grandfather to whom she was married for a good half-century. What little I know of her I know from his stories, and he had quite a lot of them as old men do.

One of those memories surfaced recently. One of a five year old boy wrapped in blankets. He is held by an old man trying to sleep and an old woman whose face is out of frame. His parents are in their Manhattan apartment just an hour away. They are planning their divorce to suit him, but that isn't why he's wide awake. Downstairs are wooden trains on a track of jigsaw pieces, and in his young mind they are all there is to the world. Eventually the old man relents and brings him down to play, hoping the experience will quickly prove soporific. Boredom comes to the boy soon enough, but sleep left his oven on and told the former that he would catch up with him. At one in the morning, my grandfather sits me on his knee and tells me a bedtime story. I ask if it has power rangers, but he shakes his head. It's a story from a long time ago, about a soldier, a rabbi, a bridesmaid, and a flock of clay birds.

Thoughts?

>>7318313
not twiggy senpai
but ban twiggy desu

Maybe we should put all anon made translations, fan writings and original produced fiction in this new board

>>7318332
He said you're dismissed and I agree.

>there are yet those who don't want philosophy on /lit/

>>7318341
Seconding this. "Rate your work" threads can go to this new board and that means the new board has more substance than just fanfiction.

Also Hiro, might I askerotica where?

>>7318018
how does it feel to get your post in a fucking sticky, anon

>>7318348
Thank you so much.

>>7318348
Why not do:

/phil/

/rel/

Just wondering. Thx for caring sempai.

>>7318348
Not totally related to this topic but it has been mentioned in the thread, can you make a /cinema/ board? Something explicitly for more intellectual/patrician/high-brow films? /tv/ is a cesspool that only talks about Television and basic hollywood movies, we need somewhere to talk about Parajhanov/Mizoguchi/Fellini etc

thank you Hiro

>>7318348
I now know how it feels to speak with God.

Dostoevsky, thank you for preparing me for this day.

>>7318357
>Rate your work" threads can go to this new board and that means the new board has more substance than just fanfiction.
Yeah and that means that the board won't die from lack of use, however if all the fanfictions including 'write an anime plot, write a fanfic etc' all got shoved into that board it wouldn't be too dead either

>>7318348
<3 you, hiro

>>7318335
You shift tenses for no apparent reason in the second paragraph and the whole thing is rather unclear. I'm tempted to guess the soldier/rabbi/bridesmaid/clays is a reference I don't know, but I'm going to judge it as is. What's the point of starting about the gandmother if the point is about the grandfather and the story told to him while his parents are divorcing? You should find a world other than soporific, it just comes across as "haha, my vocabulary is better than yours.". You're reaching a bit far with the oven idiom. Why'd you switch between third person description of the boy to first person?

>>7318348
Thank you.

>>7318348
Make /l/ please.

I think it'll improve /lit/ too desu

I don't mind all the critique and RYW threads but sometimes I just want to scroll through and shitpost about Spooks and DFW

>>7318348
thank you hiroyuki-sama, based emperor of fourth channel

>>7318343
>He said

Why the redundancy? It's obvious you are the same poster.

>>7318382
yes we need a place to discuss cute girls

>>7318287
Yeah it wasn't very clear even though i did include something pretty concrete in my post.
I wrote about the "virgin homeland" and the thing that i think will make /r9k/ great is to ban everyone who admits to being a non-virgin. I went on to writing a bunch of crap so the part about the "virgin homeland" wasn't obvious.

>>7318379
This is literally the most undereducated thing I have ever read. The fact that you think it's acceptable on a board dedicated to literature tells me you opinion is not of any value in this context. If at some point in the future I need to find someone willing to trade a hair weave for a blowjob I will seek your advice. until then you are dismissed

>>7318348
Arigatou.

Don't make a fanfiction board though, please.

>>7318395
Don't you have wizchan for that?

>>7318391
Why are you so butt hurt I have fans. You are dismissed,

>>7318357
I'd prefer critique threads to remain on /lit/

>multiple unneeded boards
Just one board, where people will be able to speak of this without receiving a fulminant ban. Speaking of it shouldn't be against the rules.
We can't do this in /b/, and it's highly discouraged on /lit/. There's no place for a good amount of potential users (that have to migrate to other websites)...

>>7318420
We think it's good you are just stupid.

>>7318415
What about erotica though?

Can't be having a blue fanfic board.
