Right lads
I'll be straightforward. I know that for all the layers of irony and disaffection you cake yourselves in, what you want more than pretty much anything else, when it comes to your art, is recognition, feedback, validation, etc.
And that's fine. That's normal. That's expected.
From my perspective especially, that's good -- because some of you are actually quite bright.
The reason I'm making this post is because I've just started a lil' literary publication on Medium and want content for it. The link that explains submissions is here: https://medium.com/the-forvm/write-for-us-2f37e2b2a832#.q8rdypwpv
To be as blunt as possible we have a non-existent fanbase and can not pay you. I can promise, though, that you will get at least some extra traffic for having published in the magazine, and I will do my darnedest to market your stuff wherever I can.
So, give it a shot. Unsure if this abides by board rules; will gladly accept whatever administrative kick in the teeth may come from posting this. About time browsing /lit/ actually provided you with some kind of opportunity though amirite haha -- but no, really, have a wonderful night and thank you for your consideration
how is it pronounced?

I have only had two people try since founding it -- one said 'For-um,' the other said 'For-vum,' -- have no preference at this point.
What do you think?

For V.M. (Virtual Machines)

Hope you don't mind if I write drunk, because that's the only way I'll think what I have is good enough for publication.
>The FORVM will publish essays on everything ranging from the way memes are propagated across online communities
nah, no thanks.

>'For-vum,
This sounds like a German pronouncing 'for fun'
