Should we have a writefag thread or is the board too dead for that?

Well.

A /lit/ online mag made its way through a while back, without effect. Then a Totalitarianism rip off took flight into some third world police state night, never to be seen again.

We haven't tried to float a wiki. I suppose I could hack something together and see what happens?

Wikis are best as changing summaries of information from many sources. For example, the essential charts from /mu/ and the /bane/ timeline article. The /lit/ sticky covers enough.

It was, like, dead on arrival:

The idea being to get people to write about something. Maybe limit ourselves to what is provably discussed on 8Chan? Rate and suggest writing oriented sites, fan-fictional or professional, etc. Partly because it's what most people are inclined to read, partly because earlier works have been discussed to death, maybe limit suggestions to twentieth century to present?

I wouldn't want to duplicate all the beginner's guides and "start here" charts. Also, quirky over universality would be better.

Very interesting. Shame I wasn't around back then, one more person to contribute.

We should collectively write a story about a magical wizard on 8ch who falls in with a 3d waifu then has to break it off with his 2d waifu pillow.

Piss bottles are a necessity. In fact the moment he falls in love with the 3d is when she accidentally discovers his peepee bottle collection in the closet and isn't grossed out, maybe she thinks it's funny and has a fetish for pathetic retards just to piss off her parents?

idk I just found about it, but since there's about 13,000 posts I'd assume it had to have been more active in the past.

Thirteen thousand, stretching back into 2014. Speaking in round numbers, 8Chan /lit/ generates a little more than four thousand posts a year. It was more active in the past being coupled with a wholesale migration attempt from 4Chan.

/lit/ is lively as a whole when viewed across several image-board sites. I suppose 8Chan, 4Chan, Lainchan, and Reddit combined constitute the vast majority of western literary image-board culture. This includes more than just the formally defined /lit/ boards on each respective site.

Where image-board culture falls flat is with writing studies. This art is almost entirely the purview of forums, be they fan-fictional or professional. Hybrid IRC analogues---Discord et. al.—make up all the rest. Such dedicated outlets are anathema to an image-board mindset.

I don't wish to be discouraging, but that's how it is.
