Imagine how this board would be like if great novels were still being serialized in magazines.
>>23976442Imagine what the world would be like if anything great was still being made.
>>23976448Dandadan is pretty bussin
>>23976450A man does not live on manga alone.
Just give me the damned book complete.
>>23976448Yeah, this. We need to kill the internet, post-haste.
>>23976502What did it in for me, after years of pretending there was a real world separate from this one, was going on twitter and seeing real people making real important decisions reading 4chan screenshots I'd seen posted years ago. Make Esoteric Spaces Esoteric Again.
>>23976539>seeing real people making real important decisions reading 4chan screenshots I'd seen posted years agocan you elaborate on this? can i see some of your old posts?
>>23976557Not my posts but posts here that are screenshotted.
>>23976442When a serialised book was half-finished, what did people do when they wanted to start reading it, if magazines were only publishing the present 'episode'?
>>23976450Fotm slop
>>23976450>Woke trash with a cuck protagonist addicted to NTR and girlbossesYeah so epic and cool
>>23976450Oh so that nerdy guy manga with bob cut girl is dandadan? The current popular thing like that elf frieren?
>>23976777There are plot summary maybe? I would like to think that the magazine provides general synopsis of the story and the last chapter recap before jumping to the current chapter
>>23976442/lit/ would basically be a books-based version of /a/ or /co/, wouldn't it? If we were reading The Pickwick Papers or War & Peace serialized. We'd have threads every week/month for the new installment, and in between we'd have probably dozens of threads speculating on where the plot would go, what would happen to this or that character, whether Tolstoy/Dickens/etc. was based or cringe or retarded or what have you.It kind of sounds... fun, doesn't it?
>>23976442We're not allowed talk about wwoym stuff, and consequentially we'll never have another Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas
>>23978632As a resident writer here on /lit/ myself, it occurs to me that we could serialize our own fiction for each other, if the mods would let us do that. We could make a thread for it.
>>23979305Idk if you read 20,000 leagues but I think even the mods would see through>Last night the captain told usAnd that's allowing for them not seeing through>Books for this feel Perhaps I'm overly optimistic about their abilities
>>23976448Have you looked?
>>23976442Imagine what it would be like if just regular fucking short stories were still being published in magazines.
>>23976442Knowing humanity it would probably be worse.
>>23978619Hell yeah. Someone has to be releasing serialized novels on substack
>>23979583I have a big story I've thought about serializing on my Substack. Everybody who reads it seems to like it, but I've struggled to find a publisher or an agent for it. My idea for a while has been to release it on my Substack sections at a time, over weeks and months, and advertise it on my social media accounts.This plan has been made somewhat harder by the fact that Elon had a spergout and banned Substack links from showing link previews on Twitter. But I've found a website that generates a workaround to that, so I could still go forward with it. I'm just not sure I want to.
