Free thought, shitposting, et cetera. It can start trash and then evolve over time.

These type of things are valued by historians.

Start a discord and advertise it on /lit/ OP, interested persons will join

/lit/ has already had a few literary journals in the past. Most notably, The April Reader.

>>8728998

I know there's a new one called ideologylit - are there any others?

Liturgy: The literary journal where fresh new talent goes to die. Now with 3 Gravity's Rainbow reviews per issue.

>>8728988
In a thread a long time ago I proposed we call it The Shitpost. It wraps up Joyce jokes, our jargon, a newspaper-like name, and a categorization of its content.

>>8729002
The Metric.

>>8729002
The April Reader spin-off was called The Metric.

It sucked.

>>8729304
Why would anyone know what magazines I've been rejected from? My body of work speaks for itself.

>>8729316
I propose a 50/50 mix of memes and freestyle genuine content, with a Murakami-esque short story in the middle blending a dream meme world with an otherwise tasteful slice of life short story of a typical patrician litizen.
Short stories, poetry, tasteful nonfiction articles, reviews and what have you.

If /lit/ is going to have a journal it should be based on /lit/

No content that didn't get significant (you)s here deserves to be featured in it.

>>8729330
It would take forever to get enough material that way. We just need to solicit submissions via email or website (with or without criteria) and somehow get the address in the sticky or something.

>>8729327
Don't get me wrong, I'm in the same boat as you re:poetry. Put aside your pretenses, though. It deserves it's own corner.

At least one of those rewiews should be by someone who hasn't even read the book, in order to truly capture the authenticity of /lit/.

I'm intelligent, nihilistic, and have a wicked sense of humour.

>>8729337
You could have a rotating editorial board, or one of those vote dealies for submissions. Or we could have an ongoing /submissions/ thread where we discuss and (You) vote. I like that option, but I think it'd be a disorganized mess that would end up flaming out into endless shitposting.

It's been done a million times, it never goes anywhere and they all give up.

>>8729341
God no, reddit tier

>but I think it'd be a disorganized mess that would end up flaming out into endless shitposting.

Thats good, what else is this board for. You do anything else and then you get a reddit democracy

>>8729347
If "The Shitpost" is 4chan-tier I don't think the community here has the right to be picky.

>>8729351
Well then reddit awaits you my friend, they'll appreciate your intelligent puns there

>>8729353
Seriously, Pounded by Ezra fucking sucks. The Shitpost isn't great or original, but it's better than that.

Why don't we just vote for an ideology to govern content selection each issue?

>>8729357
Neither of them are pretentious enough desu.
There's a distinct lack of Desu in both too, desu.

>>8729358
The problem is someone has to select the content in the end. We could take submissions on themes, vote on those, then adopt that theme for our /submissions/ threads for that publication period. Sounds like a huge pain in the ass to me.

>>8729740
Made an improvement.

I think the reason why a journal will never take off is that no one who is serious about their work would submit to a 4chan journal. No one wants to be called a racist/sexist IRL, dude (note that I'm not implying that everyone on 4chan actually IS a racist/sexist, but that is the common perception). So we're left with a bunch of ironic meme literature or trunk stories written by people using pseudonyms.

Believe me, I would love to circumvent the liberal-fascist controlled publishing industry, but I think this is a fool's errand.

>>8729771
Agreed. Lit is currently as a field dominated by the leftist pseudo-counterculture. An actual counterculture would have to either have a heavy liberalist slant or be radically right wing, both of which would be career killing in this day and age. The trend that defines this coming generation is the murder of the freedom from ideology previous artistic generations attempted to provide; simply put, any serious work would have to be anonymous and on the internet to avoid dooming the author, and thus be disregarded as the work of " supremacist internet trolls", or else be attached to the author's name and thus be disregarded as the complaints of a dying past.

>>8729771
You could easilly anonymously submit shit, and yeah it would be a meme journal for a year or so.

My first submission would probably be some finegans wake style poetry about farting.

>>8729810
>any serious work would have to be anonymous
That was also the case during the enligthenment. Stop being a pussy.

>>8729824
I don't see how that observation makes me a pussy.

>>8729810
This is still just some /lit/-project, not a career springboard. I'm still happy to contribute, even if it won't find much acclaim outside of 4chan.

>>8729864
Oh yeah of course that's fine. It could be a good bit of fun for two weeks or some such, but its unfortunate because no one will read it or continue to contribute to it for much more time than that. I suppose I also ended up going off about the contemporary "counterculture"

>>8729871
Have you been to the discord? Based on that alone I feel like this could last longer than you'd expect. But yeah, we'll see! It's still in its early stages.

Pathetic idea. Seriously. I've been published several times and I've barely tried. I've never even studied English or the craft of writing, yet I've literally been published in 4 journals and 2 collections. Pull your socks up.
No one worth mentioning will read this.

>>8730335
IRC for real time communications. You can log and search a ton of back history.

Mailing list can be sent to many recipients and they can respond to each other or the organizer with just an email address.

>>8728979
Will the journal be anonymous? If not I'm not sure I'd be interested. Anonymity IS 4chan tona large extent and is so important to the spirit of the place.

[Spoiler] plus if I submit shit I dont want to be forever seen as associated with (you) neo-nazis [/spoiler]

>>8730348
Any audience this would have would either be from /lit/ or would be lured by the 4chan mystique (think Reddit, /b/, and the weaker sort of anon).

Best idea on the thread.

Imagine an edited book containing nothing but reviews of the great works of literature by people who hadn't read them but had heard vague things about them.

Argue it is a powerful artistic statement on our atomised, wiki-brained easily distracted and shallow culture.

Whats there to even steal?

A paranoid person could imagine that the Don Draper post reflect that you are in advertising and an Absolute Mad Man (and the image was a wink to be skeptical of), and the thegodheads email could imply you and your cohorts think you are masterminds for devising this plan to steal the writers ideas from here

>>8731337
You began by lying and pretending to be the others, why would you be any more trustworthy?

How much do i get paid for my submissions? You surely don't expect me to hand over my work for free?

>>8731362
You'll receive a 15% percentage of the royalties from magazine sales. It'll be free. I'll let you figure out your earnings from that.

Have you guys already decided on a deadline for the submissions?

>>8730416
>Best idea on the thread.
Thanks anon, I'm truly flattered.

>>8731405

Everyone interested in the lit journal idea joined a discord and were discussing all the ideas, and than you said:

i made a new email for /lit

send me all your works to post in our lit journal

'our' as if you were part of the legit plan.

But really 'our' is just, mysterious and sketchy you?

mfw its already falling apart

btw discord is a literal gaming platform

/lit/ needs to stop trying to make a journal for fiction submissions and start making a journal for criticism. 4chan provides us with a platform to be both anonymous and elitist which allows us to be the only true non-pc review journal. we can get away with saying things actual journals cannot. there is an audience for that. there is no t an audience for our shit tier short stories

>>8731516
Not sure what you mean by a journal for criticism. We're intending to include non-fiction and reviews, you'd be welcome to submit criticism. Unless I'm misunderstanding, come on the discord and explain.

of course i was gonna upload it??

how else can we collectively review it and vote on what gets in the final version?

are you two the same ones attacking me all this time and contributing nothing while i made 4 covers and already got 1 writer in the colab?

sounds like your jelly

>>8731608
A discord allows everyone involved to see what's happening and keep a persistent discussion
You're a single random dude on here acting like a cunt because one guy emailed you

>>8731608
My fucking God, you're unredeemable.

>>8731643
>allows everyone involved to see what's happening and keep a persistent discussion

that's what 4chan is for

>>8731666
Your idea of a lit zine is the critique threads.

>>8731608
Make your own thread and journal plz; just make sure you notify and label "this is godheads journal", and then you will have your journal, and covers and submission, and everyone working on /lit/s journal will have a smoother time with out seemingly inane childish botherment, you know you have to be 18 to post on this site right?

>>8731666
Thanks for derailing the whole thread for those who liked the idea and wanted to commit, fuccboi.

>>8731608
>>8731595
Hey I sent my shit to him because while he made content while others complained about who would be in charge. I'm not worried about my shit getting stolen because if it was worth stealing I'd sell it. By all means stay in touch though and if you end up with content I'm sure we can all collaborate. Really I just want people to read my work and give me some response also I don't want to try to navigate a new platform on my phone

This should only be published like 3 times a year so that all the shitposts are legit.

>>8731699
You can always post your work to the critique threads if that's what you want.

>>8731666
>godhead !EItFG3HV7w

Is the leading theory, this person, is associated with 4chan /lit/ and does not like the idea of individuals using this platform to come together to form a union that will potentially try and profit from that work/ would prefer the content that would be compiled of this groups work to just be posted on /lit/ so that if it receives any eyes it receives ad revenue?

i would rather we all vote on what gets in so high quality stuff takes priority over low quality

>>8731712
He is a very dangerous man.

>>8731643
then get us a discord anon.

i dont think >>8731666 really wants to steal work.

i like this literary magazine/journal idea. a few questions though
>where do the final pieces go? like what website?
>how do we vote on which article gets in?
>who do we have edit these?
>how often will things get published?
>did we decide on a name?
>a shit load of other questions need to be answered as well.

This thread is just as big of a shit show as I thought it would be. 4chan is a bunch of apes flinging shit at each other, we'll never get anything done. I still don't fully understand how Katawa Shoujo got made.

no. pls dont let this die.

>>8731731
we don't need a discord though

just send all the work to [email protected]

>>8731731
i take all the emails and put them on mega so we all can see what we like and then vote on strawpoll and put in a pdf and then were published!

we aren't going to profit from this at all it will be a free title

hopefully we can get it on amazon or google play

this is for reputation really

those will be some of the covers

submissions can be anything thats considered /lit/ poems, short stories.. etc

>>8731821
People in the discord chat are working to produce a properly formatted e-magazine that will only publish the best of what it is sent them, but is in the process of setting up the magazine and not taking submissions yet.

godhead is currently taking submissions, by which I mean if you send him anything he'll upload it to mega.nz then post the link here for people to vote on what he should put into a word document to post on here some time later.

Guys how do I use discord? I clicked the link, downloaded the app, but there's nothing there. What do

>>8731921
Click the link again, or look at the official discord FAQ

>>8731908
that's not what i'm doing

we making it a pdf for all to enjoy for free and hopefully get it on ios and android store

meanwhile all you did is meme discord and hide all
your no dev progress while i post mine

if you aren't going to contribute pls go

>>8730217
this

>>8731942
If you're willing, let's coordinate. I just set up litquarterly.com as a potential clearing house for submissions, with the idea that most/all submissions are published online, with good submissions going through additional editing (if necessary) and being included in a quarterly print/pdf publication.

You can email me at [email protected]; submissions from anyone can be submitted to [email protected] (see page for additional info).

>>8731942
Writing words on top of paintings is not "dev progress".

>and hopefully get it on ios and android store
For free, I hope.

>>8731926
Not working, just get some sort of blank dashboard that no one is around to play 'wumpus'
>>8731884
Sent an email to godhead with a 'Flanagans' file, you get it? If so what next?

>>8731963
alright cool! i'll forward the one piece i got c'mon guys lets really make this happen!

i want it to be great something we are all proud of and can actually put our real name on. the shitposts has to be subtle

>>8731972
that's the plan!

>>8731995
ok so the plan is to send anything to

[email protected]
and

any anyone else who wants to contribute and make this a reality

we all need to work together

Happy to set up additional emails for contributers as well as needed.

>>8731808
not yet. once this thread reaches the post limit and we actually have something to show for ourselves.

I would really really like to see some submissions before I send something, so I know my trash will be accepted amidst the rest of the refuse.
Also: are we submitting things that are specifically shitposting subtly, or anything we think is halfway decent?

>>8732072
anything you want to submit anon. i dont think we're being too picky. we just want submissions. for anything. poems, short stories, scholarly essays, subtle shitposting, reviews, whatever.

>>8731868
is this discord real? are people actually discussing things in there?

what's been decided?

>>8728988
Please make this happen

>>8732086
It's very real, check it out. We're focusing on putting on a structure behind it so this project lasts longer than a week. Other than that, we're designating some roles.

>>8732086
its separate projects at this point i think but it would be much better if we all focused on one good project but to each his own

i want everyone to be transparent as possible and upfront

why go around discord when we have this site?

any thing that can be in a literary journal

recipes, short stories.. essays.. blueprints..book covers..sea logs..space logs.. it goes on but it has to be good and we might have to vote on what gets to deter blatant shitposting


get creative make a clever shitpost!

work on it or use old pieces that are tucked away!

>>8732210
nice im just gonna call you litquarterlyanon for now

>>8732224
send any files to

How you can help : contribute!

we can most likely find very creative ways to use all the good material we get

BTW just wanna clear up that all collaborators own all their submitted material & the project will be released for free

lets make something amazing!

I'll gladly write something if someone else posts what they've submitted, as an example.

>>8732289
Check litquarterly.com. We have two submissions up at present; working on formatting for another few, and going back and forth with someone who submitted another piece as well to get byline and bio figured out.

BUT remember to always ALWAYS enjoy yourself.

do not work on anything if you are not enjoying it!

>>8732108

Rofl this is even more shit than ideologylit.com which is already shit

What kind of info should be in the "brief autobiographical statement"?

>>8732364
A few sentences about yourself and interests. "Anon is a shitposter who received is working towards an MFA from Shittastic University. He has been published in Shitterary Journal XYZ, and spends time with his two shitty dogs."

Something like that.

what/who decides what gets published?

>>8732384
Right now, I am planning on putting all submissions on the website, and then we'll figure out how to determine what makes the cut for the actual print/pdf journal in the future (votes, selections from decent writers/editors, etc; to be determined). Open to suggestions.

Yes, text files should be fine.

Alright chaps and chappesses, I am headed to bed for the evening. Will check emails and the mega tomorrow morning to see if there's anything more to put up. Cheers!

>>8732167
Don't rush the submission process. Only publish 2-6 times a year so that you have enough high quality shitposts.

Why are you calling it that when diary/ shit are the winners

http://www.strawpoll.me/11667765/r

>>8733820
I think a lot of the good names should be saved, (that didnt win the full header real name) and be used as per issue sub title, maybe,

>>8733914
I kind of like this idea as well.

>>8733951
I hate the thought of wasting good ideas, and e/lit/ist and patrician quarterly and some other are good. As well as coming up with other sub issue names perhaps

I don't know if you guys are aware of Bunkermag, It's a similar project done by leftypol. It's actually pretty well done and I suggest we take some inspiration from it.

There was a guy on here years ago who tried to kick something like this off. I don't think he's still publishing it, though.

He called his journal, Pinecone. After Pynchon, of course. This was around the time people were pretty sure Pynchon was coming to /lit/. Around 2010 I think.

His first (and only, as far as I can tell) two are here:

pineconemagazine.com/collection

Like I said, I'm 99% sure he's not publishing anymore, but his website is still up. You can ask him if you want.

His email was

>atticuspinecone
>at
>gmail
>dot
>com

but I haven't talked to him recently.

lol.

The /lit/ journal everyone.

>>8734720
You're right. It's better with the e.

70-80% should actually just be pictures. The only pages with content should actually just be the opinion of some guy about a book he has never read, as suggested here before.

Everything else is just a written reply to that one opinion piece. A single piece of substance and merit per year should not be exceeded.

also just a reminder

to include the name you want the work to get credited for so nobodies work gets stolen! (pen names are fine)

things that are impossible to credit will go under Anonymous

we got about 15 pages of material and a bunch of covers keep em coming!

>/lit/ literally shitposted their way to a journal

>>8735710

Most things sent so far should be up on litquarterly.com at present (let us know if we're missing anything there; one anon sent a link to a collection of images that we couldn't access; feel free to upload it to the mega instead of the link you sent, or to attach it to an email).

Who knows what Godhead's doing; the Discord mag is tentatively called Shit Beyond Words.

SBW's going to run alongside godhead, and it'll showcase the best of communal shitposting: reviews of books by people who've never read them, ritual flyting, the rise of the Underground Manchild -- as well as legitimate stuff, like advice for starting with the Greeks.

Just like godhead it'll also show off the "best" of /lit/'s poetry and prose. You can get published twice, AND insult other anons! It's going to be opening submissions in December, and published January.

amen brother keep the dream alive !

we can get published multiple times for more cred! GENIUS!

its good you are doing yours long because i wanted to do a short one!

As for the lit quarterly website i highly suggest improving the navigation of the pages, I should be able to see what poems are on the poetry page without scrolling through the entirety of each one.

I agree. Will work on it.

Did a clumsy hack to kind of take care of this. Will work on actually doing it in a way that looks better this weekend (Sunday) when I have some more time.

I get what you are going for but I'd rather spend my time writing well because I'm just not that good at shitposting
