>DFW when you know you're 1/5th of the way through writing the first draft of something that will definitely be canon if you actually finish it

I honestly think this is the Ulysses of the 21st Century. And no, before you ask, I'm not telling you what it's about or posting any samples. I don't want your grubby, semen-encrusted NEET hands touching this thing.

Let me know when it's published. Senpai.

>>7891142
well we all can see you have Joyce's ego

>>7891150
I'll be sure to come back here and let you bask in its glory once it gets published.
>>
>>7891142
its pretty safe to say almost everyone here has had that feeling

>tfw given up completely

>>7891189
I'll climb up the mountain of your shattered dreams' corpses and be the one to actually finish it.
>>
It's a 20 parts space opera with 'mechs' right?
>>
>>7891199
No. I'm not gasautist.

Bro, you don't understand how great this thing is. It'll singlehandedly bring literature back to its former glory.

My ass, pal. Chuck it in the river. Send it back to Pallet Town, my friend. Join the army.

Well, I can't help it if you plebs are too defeatist to even conceive of the possibility of attaining such heights. Blame your own lack of vision for that, not me.

You know how Infinite Jest is also a meme and bestseller among normies? Well this is going to be an even bigger one within /lit/ and without.
>>
>>7891142
I thought the same thing for a while, OP, and then I reread what I wrote, and then I waited awhile, and then I reread it again, and then I realized it was complete shit.
>>
>>7891805
Was it the first full-length book you've written?
>>
>>7891823
Yessum. As expected, I guess.
>>
>>7891826
Don't give up now. Everyone's early efforts are lacking. You just don't hear much about the ones of famous people because their first published books are almost never their actual first books.
>>
Wow, that's awesome. Srsly. Hope you revive literature.

I'd explain what he meant by that to you but if you're posting little Afghanistanimation girls you're probably too retarded to understand anyway.

What, exactly, is the rhetorical intent of OP here? Do they want anons to argue with them and prove that they just don't understand their tortured genius? Do they want us to confirm the delusion by heaping praise upon them? Do they imagine that someday, after the great collapse, there will be someone poring over the archives, tracing IPs and MAC addresses, and ferreting out all the identities, and posthumously declare "Eureka! We have found it - this is the one who revived literature... and they knew they were doing it!" Does asking this question collapse the wave function, and turn the universe into Eliot's ball, rolling toward OP to destroy him? In all earnestness, with great feeling, I ask...

>>7895399
It's not pokemon fan fiction. It's Finnegans Wake fan fiction.
