Philosophical discussion can go on either /lit/ or /his/, but those discussions of philosophy that take place on /lit/ should be based around specific philosophical works to which posters can refer.

Holocaust believers are constantly grasping at straws, taking things out of context and interpreting facts to fit their agenda';

    ― Genre fiction isn't literature. You're not writing a book, you're writing a failed screenplay. ― her smirk only second in protrusion to her ample bosom.
    ― Uh oh, stinky!
    ― Rent free.
    ― "Literature", she says!
    ― Mere retards... ― escapes under her breath as she weasels onto a stool.
    But before she can rest her mouth down someone burns through her, an uninterrupted gaze. Perplexed, but still having a measure of composure, the coward lets out for all to hear:
    ― What an unpleasant person! ― yet none partake.
    A tactical retreat to the next stool was in order, but turning her back proved fatal, for a hand pierced even the heavens and grabbed her ass with a erotic yelp:
    ― What are you...!
    ― Shhhh, ― whispered its fingers ― you're a coward, but I like huge pussies. If you show me yours, I will show you my writing, what do you say?
    The huge pussy shivered in a cold sweat, knowing the charade was up. She had nothing remotely literary to show, she had been found out. Eyes darting around, anything or anyone would do, but the only thing she found was another man that said:
    ― I bet she can't even read. ― and what follows next, might shock you.
    ― What did you say you ghetto fucking ni! ― everyone stared, none showed surprise with her irateness on full display.
    ― What an unpleasant person! ― reached her ear just like the man's warm tongue on her lobe.
    ― Your ― she stuttered ― unplesant!
    ― You are* ― said a fourth as she ran away, dripping.
    And thus this ode comes to a close, with our heroes satisfied yet yearning for one thousand words long, wet, slippery prose. May this be a reminder etched for posterity: Do not mock the dreams of the little folk, you will lose to the cock.» edition.

Many of these projects are now defunct, and the few that are still active seem to have uncertain trajectories. There are also solo writers who frequent /lit/ and—for better or for worse—their namefagging and shilling has impacted the culture of this board.

    This thread is for the discussion of the history of /lit/ writing and the future of /lit/. To those that have been involved in previous /lit/ collaborative projects, such as The Lit Quarterly, Pinecone, The April Review, miniMAG and &amp: what were your experiences like? Does the drama and infighting surrounding so many of these /lit/ collaborative projects inevitably result in their dissolution? Do you think that /lit/ has anything valuable to offer for aspiring writers, in terms of critique or support?

    Additionally: Are there any new projects in the works? What do you think is next for the so-called /lit/ renaissance? And now that a /lit/ author has finally gotten a mainstream book deal with a major publishing house, do you think that more of our authors are likely to see similar success?

But while I say this, I feel under OBLIGATION almost as much to them as to ourselves (we free spirits who are their heralds and forerunners), to sweep away from ourselves altogether a stupid old prejudice and misunderstanding, which, like a fog, has too long made the conception of "free spirit" obscure. In every country of Europe, and the same in America, there is at present something which makes an abuse of this name a very narrow, prepossessed, enchained class of spirits, who desire almost the opposite of what our intentions and instincts prompt—not to mention that in respect to the NEW philosophers who are appearing, they must still more be closed windows and bolted doors. Briefly and regrettably, they belong to the LEVELLERS, these wrongly named "free spirits"—as glib-tongued and scribe-fingered slaves of the democratic taste and its "modern ideas" all of them men without solitude, without personal solitude, blunt honest fellows to whom neither courage nor honourable conduct ought to be denied, only, they are not free, and are ludicrously superficial, especially in their innate partiality for seeing the cause of almost ALL human misery and failure in the old forms in which society has hitherto existed—a notion which happily inverts the truth entirely! What they would fain attain with all their strength, is the universal, green-meadow happiness of the herd, together with security, safety, comfort, and alleviation of life for every one, their two most frequently chanted songs and doctrines are called "Equality of Rights" and "Sympathy with All Sufferers"—and suffering itself is looked upon by them as something which must be DONE AWAY WITH.
    Remind me why leftists try and claim Nietzsche when he obviously disagreed with them? How much of a moron do you have to be to try and sanitize this man. Did they just not read him? In some translations, "democratic taste" is translated as "egalitarians."
    Feel free to post other Nietzsche passages that would make leftists cope and seethe.

    THE CHARACTERS

    >Manny P.(Pain) Baker

    The main character of the series, Manny is a breadoholic mantis that lives in the Breadhouse. He is mostly calm and friendly in nature, but gets manic over bread and the making of it, making loaves of it daily and owning tons of related items. He is somewhat unmoved by all the unexplained phenomena that occurs near ‘his’ house, but does get spooked a bit during these incidents time to time. He is a homebody only leaving the Breadhouse for times when the Homeowner is not available to bring more bread ingredients to him or if resolving anomalous incidents call for him to leave the house.

    >Unnamed Homeowner

    A secondary character that shows up during many chapters/episodes. He is the owner of both the house in which Breadhouse is located in and Breadhouse itself. He is rather helpful and kind to Manny, doing things like bringing him bread ingredients and making tools and weapons for him to use. But this stems mostly from the fact he is unaware of Manny, and thinks his dollhouse is haunted and/or cursed, and seeks to appease it to prevent harm to him, regardless of him being paid in bread by Manny for his deeds. His face has never been shown, with a hand being all we or Manny is shown/given a description of.

    >Parry D.(Du) Pwayer

    A recurring character that shows up from time to time. Parry is the pastor friend of Manny that tends to help him when certain incidents become too much to handle on his own, especially ones involving spirits or things of that nature. He is good-natured, but sometimes slightly rags on Manny for things like his bread obsession, occasional lack of courage, and his unwillingness to leave his home for things other than bread and fix his weird issues. In addition to being skilled in dealing with many supernatural matters, Parry is versed in many non-spiritual skills like ninjitsu, guns, rodeo, and martial arts. He also seems to do well in more mundane things like cooking and sports.

    Welcome to /wbg/, the official thread for the discussion and development of fictional worlds and settings.
    Here is where you can share the details of your created worlds such as lore, factions, magic systems, ecosystems and more. You can also post maps for your settings, as well as any relevant art, either created by you or used as inspiration for your work. Please remember that dialogue is what keeps the thread alive, so don't be afraid of giving someone feedback!

    FAQ:
    >What is worldbuilding?
    Worldbuilding is the process of creating entire fictional worlds from scratch, all while considering the logistics of these worlds to make them as believable as possible. Worldbuilding asks questions about the setting of a world, and then answers them, often in great detail. Most people use it as a means of creating a setting or the scenery for a story.
    >"Isn't there a Worldbuilding general in >>>/tg/ already?"
    Yes, there is. However, that general is focused on the creation of fictional worlds for the intended purpose of playing TTRPG campaigns. Here you can discuss worldbuilding projects that are not meant to be used for a roleplaying setting, but for novels, videogames, or any other kind of creative project.
    >"Can I discuss the setting of my campaign here, though?"
    If you want to, but it would probably be better to discuss it on >>>/tg/. We don't allow the discussion of TTRPG mechanics, however. If you want to discuss stats or which D&D edition is best, this is not the place.
    >"Can I talk about an existing fictional setting that is not mine?"
    Yes, of course you can!
    >"Does worldbuilding need to be about fantasy and elves?"
    Worldbuilding, as already stated above, and contrary to what many believe, does not inherently imply blatantly copying Tolkien. In fact, there are many science-fiction setting out there, and even entire alternative history settings which do not possess supernatural elements at all. Any kind of science fiction book has an implied setting at least, which involves a certain degree of worldbuilding put into it.

Not one, but a hundred, at once stern and coy German ladies have described to me how they "have felt they were being undressed" by the eye of a casually met Jude. This is a delicious obsession with them--though to go about undressing buxom Hausfraus with the eye, that has always sounded to me a peculiarly dismal pastime, and I have never for my part noticed a Jew amusing himself in this way--though the moment a German woman finds herself near a Jew, she begins getting very coy, as if she felt her outer garments in danger of flying off her back.';

I thought about asking him if I could read some of it but I didn’t because I’m a afraid of germs and stuff (bitch made I know) Now I regret it cuz I know I’ll never get a chance to read it again and those writings will almost definitely die with him and maybe his friends. I’ll probably never get the chance to read anything like that in general that’s not by a non famous person and not a reproduced work Anyone ever get the chance to read personal diaries/journals of interesting people you know? Were they actually interesting? Boring? Gibberish? Guy had books on him that he read on his travels to. Sounds like a fun experience';

Behind the glorification of 'work' and the tireless talk of the 'blessings of work' I find the same thought as behind the praise of impersonal activity for the public benefit: the fear of everything individual. At bottom, one now feels when confronted with work—and what is invariably meant is relentless industry from early till late—that such work is the best police, that it keeps everybody in harness and powerfully obstructs the development of reason, of covetousness, of the desire for independence. For it uses up a tremendous amount of nervous energy and takes it away from reflection, brooding, dreaming, worry, love, and hatred; it always sets a small goal before one's eyes and permits easy and regular satisfactions. In that way a society in which the members continually work hard will have more security: and security is now adored as the supreme goddess.';

Are they so worthy of belief on account of the virtue of their authors? Have they been preserved with such care that we can be sure that they have not been meddled with?]

    >The Mahometan religion has for a foundation the Koran and Mahomet. But has this prophet, who was to be the last hope of the world, been foretold? What sign has he that every other man has not, who chooses to call himself a prophet? What miracles does he himself say that he has done? What mysteries has he taught, even according to his own tradition? What was the morality, what the happiness held out by him?

    >The Jewish religion must be differently regarded in the tradition of the Holy Bible, and in the tradition of the people. Its morality and happiness are absurd in the tradition of the people, but are admirable in that of the Holy Bible. (And all religion is the same; for the Christian religion is very different in the Holy Bible and in the casuists.) The foundation is admirable; it is the most ancient book in the world, and the most authentic; and whereas Mahomet, in order to make his own book continue in existence, forbade men to read it, Moses, for the same reason, ordered every one to read his.

    >Our religion is so divine that another divine religion has only been the foundation of it.

    This kills the pagan. Why yes, Christianity indeed does come from Judaism, how could you tell? Because it's so sacred it makes you seethe in resentment and misery. Our God acts upon history: what's the history of the Church, but the history of Truth? Your gods? They're old, they're putrid, they're dead. Worship beasts and beasts eat you.'
