Please pick a name for fan fiction board.
like /fan-fic/ or /litf/?
I can make the board, now.
/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
>>7317736
if you want to see the opinions regarding /phil/ and /his/ from /lit/ see
>>>/qa/319933
particularly
>>>/qa/320094
>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
>>7317736
why can't you talk philosophy book 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
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.
>>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 onewithin 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.
>>7317784
>please make it clear where discussion of philosophy belongs. Right now /lit/ and /his/ both tell us to go to the other.
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.
>>7317799
Thank you based Japanese man
Maxposting is back
>>7317799
Mod is deleting them. You need to punch his face and tell him to calm down.
>>7317820
/debate
PHILOSOPHY ALLOWED HERE
SHITPOSTERS BTFO
>>7317799
They can.
They just also want to discuss philosophy ideas that are not book-related.
>>7317709
KLAS LUND
HELL SEGER
ADOLF HITLER GJORDE INGET FEL

>>7317814
that people who post about philosophy only read philosophy. they are the heaviest readers of fiction and other subjects on this board (besides the shit posters, but we don't just fiction by its shit posters either)
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
>>7317820
thank you hiroyuki-san. :3 please stop trying to improve our board, we love you, just ignore us.
>>7317820
>>7317820
THANK YOU BASED HIRO
YOU ARE THE BEST
YOU ARE MY HERO
/shit/ - shit writing
>>7317825
>There's always going to be shitposters. It's not a matter of where you want them to go for your convenience
>>7317818
No it doesn't imply that, you're a god damn idiot and you're ruining the fucking board.
>>7317820
I think you will regret this decision. Now, nobody is happy.
>>7317820
Please don't allow religion on /lit/.
I can live with philosophy if I have to.
I'd like a fan fiction board. That would be fun.
>>7317721
I like this name best
>>7317721
This. Gives nice opportunities for DFW memeing.
>>7317849
I'm happy. :^)
>>7317799
Thank you based Hiro.
>>7317820
tell the mod to put that in the /lit/ sticky
>>7317854
...Are you incapable of doing this yourself?
>>7317838
This. Makes so much sense.
Those poltards on there can't even read philosophy that isn't about Jews.
>>7317820
GREATEST ALLY
also hero are you really going to make this new board just for that one guy who wanted it?
>>7317709
fuck off you chink shit
>>7317849
It makes me happy.
Best solution IMO.
We keep the majority of people talking about historical events (who is the best world leader? etc) while keeping philosophy on lit
>>7317840
>please stop trying to improve our board, we love you, just ignore us.
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.
>>7317836
>philosophy book
Q.E and D.
>>7317865
Stop false flagging
>>7317869
But there already is/mlp/.
>>7317869
that was only one guy from here. you should talk also to /tg/, /co/, and other boards who resist fan-fiction. do not ask /mlp/ about it because they will say yes and flood 4chan with clobber
>>7317849
Yeah, I'm happy too.
Stop being Debbie Downs syndrome.
/his/tory has been made.
Now fuck off shitposters.
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.
>>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.
>>7317869
ARIGATO!!
I love /his/, and I love /lit/ that is only about literature!!!
>>7317821
>because the sticky over on /his/ implicitly mentions it.
a sticky on /his/ affects on /his/ not /lit/, I think.
>>7317889
it's a good idea
we get fanfic threads quite a bit
/fic/ would be a great name Hiro :)
Thanks for letting philosophy on /lit/ :)
>>7317880
GR15 will keep /mlp/'s shitty AiE threads in the horrid generals.
>>7317830
it might be too long.
>>7317820
ayyyyy
also please open up /lit/ janitor positions! I would work tirelessly to rid this board of shit.
>>7317893
people are getting confused and shitflinging and frankly this all should be made clear in the /lit/ sticky
>>7317709
/fic/ - Fan Fiction
Call it /ff/.
>>7317723
hiro let me shitpost stirner on /lit/ again and I won't even make fun of you for suggesting this.
>>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.
>>7317854
>>7317861
It's all yours!
>>7317904
Oh Hiro.
>>7317904
Great banter Hiro!
Please make new sticky saying that philosophy is okay and that Hiro is the best
>>7317893
You "I think" a lot.
On here we provide writing tips and critique feel free to engage us with your problem. We are here to help.
>>7317709
/fic/
>>7317849
>I think you will regret this decision
Why do you think so?
>>7317914
thanks bruh
>>7317913
/his/ is great, wtf is wrong with you?
HIRO PLEASE GIVE US /SFF/ FOR SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY
/SFF/
/SFF/
/SFF/
>>7317913
you are a moron
>>7317893
i love you so much
right now hiroyuki-san
haiku can't express
>>7317913
Or rather, move humanities back over to /lit/ and keep /his/ just History.
>>7317885
>tripfags
No.
I think the consensus is this:
/lit/ and /his/ both can have discussions of philosophy.
/wrt/ or /crt/ or /fic/ for fan fiction and writing and critique.
Please do this and we will be a very happy 4chan:^)
>>7317922
He's a shitposter. You won't regret anything Hiro, /lit/ will support your choices.
>>7317922
Philosophy posters like to shitpost a lot. That is why.
>>7317864
How can you tell just a guy wants?
maybe more, let's find out.
>>7317922
i think a philosophy board would be a good idea
>>7317922
I know you can see that I'm the original >>7317849, so I want to say
ごめんなさい, sorry, I was wrong. This is the better solution. I spoke without thinking. Thank you for caring about 4chan.
>>7317922
Don't listen to him. He's just sore after you raped his ass.
>>7317938
he made a thread here when you asked him to discuss it, and most said no
>>7317938
Can we please have two new boards?
/pleb/
/patr/
>>7317820
Thank you so much, An Hiro. I love you :3
>>7317938
/sff/ for science fiction and fantasy please. /tg/ would like it too. /tg/ is a pretty cool guy.
Thank you.
>>7317938
i know everything hero, you should pay attention to me desu
>>7317949
this desu
>>7317940
Balkanization isn't a good idea.
You should make a pro-wrestling board.
Hiro, please ban religious posting on /lit/.
>>7317937
Everybody has inclinations towards being-in-the-world when faced with the anguish the ever there, around the corner freedom we encounter. i.e. stop generalizing.
>>7317949
how funny.
please be serious around the admin.
>>7317836
>'Humanities' includes philosophy so it would off-topic to talk about philosophy on /lit/ instead of /his/
It means you can talk about philosophy on /his/
It doesn't mean any rules on other boards, I think.
>>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
Please add a sticky saying that humanities books can be discussed here to clear any confusion
>>7317938
nobody wants a fan-fic board. It will attract (more) retards do this shitty website.
>>7317905
I was starting to think this board didnt't even have a mod. Adding 1-2 more jannies would be beneficial for things like the 'i drank dog cum' thread from last night
>>7317960
This make a containment board for all christfags. They rot this place up.
>>7317969
This. /film/ would be awesome.
Name the board /hitler/.
Btw, are you selling my personal info to marketing firms yet you jap prick?
>>7317922
Don't worry about changing things all the time to please everyone. Everyone here is going to be complaining no matter what. :)
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.
>>7317967
Fuck yeah, Hiroyuki laying down the law on all the plebs.
>>7317889
Looking evidences is more clear to know.
>>7317968
Look at this dumbass
>>7317960
this poster is just afraid of when we play kaidan
www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAcVfr4sIcM
Hiroyuki, do not listen to ban and new board posters. They need to learn to make better posts about books, and to not care what other people read except if it makes them happy.
>>7317972
>pedolit discussions
There was one thread, and except for christfags like you trying to stir it up it was the only thread in the week that actually discussed literature.
>>7317906
>this all should be made clear in the /lit/ sticky
What should I write to make it clear?
>>7317968
stop spouting such idiotic statements
>>7317976
The only evidence of this board having a mod is the new filters for t b h and f a m
>>7317967
So philosophy can be discussed on /lit/ with book references?
Works for me.
Any thing that is esoteric or general "philosophizing", or just talking about philosophers, can go to /his/
>>7317986
/sff/ for science fiction and fantasy novels please. We need somewhere to talk about spaceships and wizards.
>>7317993
discussion of philosophical and non-fiction texts is allowed.
>>7317986
I guess make the trial board and see how it turns out.
/cin/ or /film/ for film should be an option you're looking at as well since many people want it
>>7317993
>philosophy is ok
>>7317993
Say that this board is for the discussion of literature, including philosophical works and other humanities related books
>>7317993
1. Philosophy is allowed to be discussed on /lit/.
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!!
>>7317999
You can already talk about that on here and on /tg/.
>>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.
>>7317791
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
something like 'discussion of established philosophers and their written works is fine. speculative bullshit belongs on /his/ or /b/ desu senpai imo'
>>7318004
do you want me to name every religious poet i can?
>>7318002
Hiroyuki do this one. The others are too much and will lead to arguments.
>>7318004
What would you say about Kierkegaard then?
Christposting is faggotry but there have been some good threads like the one about F&T last night
>>7318004
HIRO-SAMA: please write this in the sticky!!
>>7317721
This is good I vote this.
Also thanks for clarifying /phil/ discussion. It was fun to ruse the first day but it got out of hand real quick
>>7318000
THIS
>>7317986
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.
>>7318004
What if I wanted to talk about my religion that is based on producing and consuming literature that I got from the knowledge of a demon?
>>7317997
>So philosophy can be discussed on /lit/ with book references?
Yes.
>>7317993
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.
>>7318013
Discuss poetry fine, not religion, not faith, not hell.
>>7318019
Disagree. No.
>>7318018
This.
This should be the sticky.
Thank-you, based Hiro.
>>7318023
/x/
>>7317869
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.
>>7318028
Stop avatarfagging already.
>>7317986
senpai noticed me!
>>7317709
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.
>>7318026
Thanks!
Also, you are way hotter than m00t ~*^_^*~
>Hiro still hasn't brought back visible sage
Pretty please?
>>7318048
yeah but it's been tolerated by default due to lack of moderation
>>7318033
/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!!!!

Fucking kill yourself.

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.

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?

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.

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?

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.
