Imagine how this board would be like if great novels were still being serialized in magazines.

What 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.

When 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'?

There 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

/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?

>>23976442
We're not allowed talk about wwoym stuff, and consequentially we'll never have another Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas

As 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.
>>
>>23979305
Idk if you read 20,000 leagues but I think even the mods would see through
>Last night the captain told us
And that's allowing for them not seeing through
>Books for this feel
Perhaps I'm overly optimistic about their abilities

>>23976448
Have you looked?

>>23976442
Imagine what it would be like if just regular fucking short stories were still being published in magazines.
>>
>>23976442
Knowing humanity it would probably be worse.
>>
>>23978619
Hell yeah. Someone has to be releasing serialized novels on substack

I 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.
