Why don't /lit/ anons include their publications (novels, lit mags) in their posts? Is it because they're not good enough to be published?
prolly.

This thread is basically internet bullying. Don't come in here and mock the entire community.
Yes. Or, rarely, when they are published, they'll make an ambiguous claim that seems to imply that they're a legitimate author on the road to living out the /lit/ dream, and then when pressed, they reveal that the thing they've written is some trashy fantasy/scifi novel.
Are you asking why we don't end every post with a postcript of our publication credentials, and maybe our pen names, too?
Well maybe because that would constitute a 'signature, OP, and 4chan is not a fucking message board holy fucking shit you fucking faggot nigger.
I feel like there are lots of people that have forgotten that 4chan is not a fucking message board, and I feel like they need to be reminded of this. I came to 4chan specifically to get away from message boards back in the day and I don't want to go back.

so how many times have you been published? obviously don't include a pen name or any identifiers, as that isn't what OP asked, asshole.
>>8142689
It's an anonymous board, dingus.

I've gotten three short stories published, honestly, but that's not the point. That IS what the OP was asking for, or it's the clearest interpretation of it.

Where? I've been lurking here for a long time, and this doesn't come up enough. I submit and get rejected a lot. Want to know where /lit/ anons have had success.
