Unfortunately, we can no longer keep our literary journal together. Due to infighting, missing funds, and the general lack of submissions, we will be closing shop. It was a great run, /lit/.
Thank you for all the support!
Goodbye Lenin
>Due to... missing funds
I knew you guys were a bunch of rat bastards. I called it all along.
>>7532397
It was a good movie, the soundtrack is nice too.
Please also get rid of hypersphere and all totalianarinism sequels.
Thx
>didn't even get issue 001 out
Well, that lasted long
>>7532409
We tried!
you should try to get that guy who was in LZW and TAP, those lasted at least a year each.
>>7532593
Didn't TAR (The April Reader) last much longer?
>>7532998
TAR did indeed last longer, but their submissions were almost entirely from outside of /lit/.
>>7532399
Mainly just the few who used this as a way to publish themselves and to collect money from /lit/izens willing to pay to get published.
Again, we apologize to those who paid the $20 pub fee.
>>7533028
did the editorial board include people who never met face-to-face?
>>7533050
Yes.
did you like my story at least?
HAHAHAHAHHA I knew you faggots would fail yet again and here I am taking a STEM course and making $130,000 starting salary with a woman on each arm and you can't even keep a pomo internet magazine up for ONE FUCKING ISSUES.
pic related it's mfw you cucks ACTUALLY PAID $20 to have someone shit all over your dreams. time to add another tally to you life of failures.
STEMfag out.
>>7533139
It was probably really clever and deep like all of ideology's content
>>7532392
When I actually submitted you didn't respond to me so yeah.
>>7533156
>Stemfag
>girls on arms
Pick one
>>7533156
>tfw when millionaire inheritance, handsome, creative, intelligent, former lit-major and stem majors think their cooler than me
but youre wrong
>>7533188
Yikes! Sorry!
>>7533156
Your right, honestly.
release what you have so far
Ideology brought some sweet shit posting sessions. Shame they'll be over
>>7533317
Its mostly from our editors, and there is too much drama and too much to get it all together.
can't wait for this whole cycle to start again in six months.
>"hey /lit/ anyone interested in starting a literary journal? I'm down to head the editorial team if anyone else wants to volunteer"
>"what a great idea, can't believe noones ever tried this before"
>>7533371
So many have crashed and burned, it's amazing. Most never even get one out. And TAR had to cheat.
>>7533384
they're just like the bookclubs. Bound to fail but always some bright-eyed newbie from reddit or wherever who wants to start one up, like its a brand new idea and not a timetested failured
>>7533028
How much money did you solicit from this capitalistic venture?
>>7533414
Its all gone, I'm unsure of how much. It was $20 if we liked it enough, so like $60 plus what the editors and designers had to put in. It was quite a bit. We had a falling out with our treasurer, editor in chief quit, lots of drama, some psychotic skype sessions.
Really, it's the first I heard of this, but I'm not surprised that it failed, being a subscription-based thing. What was the money used for?
>>7533384
you don't crash if you can't get out of the garage
>>7533496
The fee was to get published, there was no subscription to read. The money was to cover expenses, including the prize.
>>7533434
>some psychotic skype sessions.
you know you have to tell now, come on!
>>7533511
So the founders and the newbies bickered production to a standstill, Emmet and his little group of visionaries, ok people, try to mediate, but after 2 months of it, nothing was squared away, then someone doxed the one girl, of course, and then there was an issue at her school irl, police involved, then attempted blackmail and then everything got hacked and now all the money is gone.
>>7533581
>all the money is gone
Didn't you say it was only $60?
>>7533581
I was gonna aske why they were visionaries but right now I really want to know if the girl was hot and if they blackmailed something out of her (or hat they planned to do, that should be enough for a fap)
>>7533591
$60 from submissions.
>>7533596
She's in HS.
>>7533690
so? you're not gonna post pics of her, I just want to know what was their lewd plan and if it would had been hot. if they had made her strip on skype would you had watched? what if they included on their requierements that you all watch, would you had fapped to it?
if you don't want to talk about it, just tell me why they were visionaries and what the viewpoints were.
>>7533714
I can't answer those.
Emmet is incredibly charismatic, given his situation. Its a shame this crashed and burned. His visionaries were able to stand on the end of his vision and design even further into unbelievable forms and possibilities for a /lit/ journal. One example was the 'shit post sessions' referenced by:
>>7533320
I mean, if this worked out, it would have been awesome. But when you get a bunch of Alpha males together on one project, things can go awry quickly.
>>7533504
We crashed through the garage.
>>7533931
nah, you just left the car running and the windows closed.
>Ideology was the only literary journal that would publish me
T-Thanks I guess.
>>7533936
You mean open
>>7533942
Submit to TAR
>>7533942
Did you try to submit your work with a Asian name? that usually works.
>>7533971
TAR? Can you link their page?
>>7534021
So desperate... Use the archive
>>7533979
That does make me wonder about my pen name. I've changed it a few times over the years, but for the last year it's been constant and I'm wondering in this day in age if an obviously European male name can cut it anymore?
>>7534029
>can a European male name cut it anymore
You already know the answer to that question.
>>7534027
certainly, so to say, but truly, what has it been but a - if anything - rug pulled beneath me!
>>7534042
Dammit, I love you guys.
I don't even want to be famous. I just want to express and conceptualize the melancholy, the suffering, the agitation, the hypocrisy of society and the horror of being, that I feel every waking hour. I want to breathe the internal struggle into art.

>>7534244
What happened to my submission? I was never asked for money, but what happened to the other ppl's?
Hi,
I'll make an online, poetry, post-structuralist, post-modern, anarchist, orthodox marxists, post-marxist, vaporwave, obfuscation magazine if:
- articles are submitted
- I pick what gets in
- articles are fully edited (I will only copy and past the words), and give no financial reward
- I get to design the entire thing, no matter how much you hate how it looks
- i will use images without the authors consent, who knows who will get sued
- there is no discussion about anything
- someone tells me how to make a website that hosts a pdf file you can download, basically exactly like this:
http://khole.net/issues/05/
>>7532392
>72 posts
>no one to point out that this is yet another bullshitting OP
Come on people, don't waste your time. Don't waste your time on the actual journal either though, it was shit.
>>7534273
additionally, articles can be emailed, but are preferred to be written (copypasted) in any formate (greentext, prose, poetry) in an actualy /lit/ thread

Somebody call /x/, this kid just channelled the collective consciousness of /lit/.
>>7534341
How the fuck are they still around when Ideology is ded? They're even MORE obscure. Is it because it's all online?
>>7534305
>articles can be emailed, but are preferred to be written (copypasted) in any formate (greentext, prose, poetry) in an actualy /lit/ thread
Absolutely fucking disgusting, at least require articles to be submitted in typewrited format by post.
>>7534377
>I'm going to format them any way I want anyway
Nuh-uh. You don't get to reformat my words however you like. Fuck off poser capitalist scum.

this entire thread is fucking pathetic
just accept that you are all retarded losers and should never do anythign like this again
just read a fucking book and post some memes and be content
>>7534382
if you can get your work published in an actual magazine, academic journal, newspaper, or put into a book or textbook then you should worry about that.
otherwise, if your words are put into a long narrow row, or extremely tiny across the bottom of a picture, you shouldn't really care b/c it doesn't actually matter.
>>7534393
>this is a reference to this
It actually isn't, there's numerous more and even earlier examples; including David Wong, writer for Cracked.
>>7534414
Oh I didn't know about David Wong.
That story I posted was sorta big this year, just figured that's what you were on about
>>7534432
It's actually kinda depressing reading that article, also isn't NPR supposed to be unbiased? that article reads like it was written by somebody from Reddit (or /lit/).
>>7534252
we forwarded all your submissions to pine cone
;^)
i know sure fire way to keep a /lit/ mag going, we just litter it with straight qts being lewd. we'll be like playboy but we won't use models. we'll use whatever artsy fartsy girl feels like being in a literature magazine.

I've submitted this before. Thoughts?
1/2
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 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 has 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 spray 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, a 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 was passed out was an arm wrapping around his.

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 times. 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 drawling 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 were 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 the 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 my 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?

Thanks! Should I post more?
This thread :C
I guarantee that this thread was not made by the actual editors. Probably the pinecone lot again.
>It was a great run
was it?
>>7537063
The "pinecone lot" (let's not have it appropriate our patron saint writer's nickname) is just one guy.
It was funny the first time, even, and he must've thought he could be funny too, again, and again. It'll pass eventually.
