whoa. whoa whoa whoa
very unexpected surprise this
looks a bit light on material and heavy on illegible graphics
but I'll have a read of this!

What happened to the anthology submissions?

>>24467088 (OP)
This is horrendous, Ryan. You've reached a new low.

>>24467220
yeah probably one of the lightest issues ever; we’re stretching it a little; I dumped a bunch of smaller, crappy submissions for the MNM-DR spread, and knuckles to brass tacks, I think it was worth it. im way past my prime so just trying to gather whatever steam is left in the engine and hit the mark again for a productive season.

>>24467230
Thank you, I genuinely appreciate that.

>>24467227
I had to crash that Honda.
I was trying to fill a niche that was already happily filled by Unreal.
It’s super tough to maintain traction in a one man band, and I’m currently writing for Unreal (right NOW).

>>24467088 (OP)
Is this supposed to be about writing? Doesn't seem like it.

>>24467292
yeah I mean it’s a magazine so it’s multimedia, mostly graphics and text. kind of a relic but you get the idea.

bump

>>24467088 (OP)
>>24467220
Thoughts: Probably first issue I've read cover to cover. Depending on how you slice it, there's, what, 4 texts here? I don't mind the briefness (who determines length!), it's like a sheaf of selection handed to you, of some familiar names. And it's just nice to see a sign of life, another issue in all its signature. But to stretch it to the usual 96'er, with that dearth of quantity might lead some to overlook or quickly forget about it.
Ah, the olden days, the discussions and readings (haven't checked out Ventoux yet). Need not be a judgment/balance check on the mag in general, just here it is, #20. Do hope new anons still decide to email their submissions every so often.

>Luz Reinspects (of Mixtape Hyperborea fame)
Monolog to the reader ... or poem, if loose with the term and wrt form; other text. The tone, a bit unnerving, just fuckin around in the end, it seems familiar. Is there some other writing that's like that I'm maybe thinking of? Neat anyway

>Letter from the Editor
Here Ryan has exhausted the canva style to illegibility. Is it meant to be read, do you want it to be read? (And the few pages, some other braggadocious boast, before it.) Of course it is what we've seen before, letters from editors and illegible texts, and, despite the drama of threads a year or two ago, as a named author the Editor did always self-efface (or hide at least) and it was others' writings that were front and center and you felt certain wild pages are not meant for reading. But with such slim pickings I want to give it a go. And I did, as much as possible. (The upside down texts you can probably discount. There's the feeling of copypaste, ai's and whatever.) But writing is there: a rant -- it's fun to write a rant, sometimes also to read it; cum eating; some semifictionalized backstory; and mentions of &amp, its writers and K. K. Wing. What's the involvement of Wing in this issue btw? I've seen the name before, it's a /lit/ writer right; but with no context I don't know what to make of it. So also this piece. The visual, "post-textual", whatever, it's not like it hasn't been, and for the vibes, the feel, of &amp, it's nice old & familiar, but inviting to a point of reading it alas it is not.

>Diogenes (of Indy)
A breath of fresh sea air then to return back to earth with this short story. Maybe not the most memorable of all stories &amp has printed, but nice & fine nonetheless.

>MNM-DR (of Behead All Satans fame)
Drawings. I dig em. BAS also had drawings, and I feel like it isn't at all a bad idea to present artwork like this. (But that's another no-text.)

>Price-Valcenne (of other texts in &amp)
Are the first pages supposed to be one poem, spread out over multiple pages? (and over editor's fem ai sloppa faces). Don't have a great ear for poetry but I can dig it. The Sonnets from Schlegel are also nice (nicer, imo).

>>24468103
>Classified
I might as well read this too. The kind of overly logorrheic pomo neo-baroque (out of /hyperlit/) etc etc. does nothing for me, anymore. But the real &amp isn't always like that ;)
(2/2)

>>24467088 (OP)
how about a gumshoe noir, modern dime novel style?
a serial.
every chapter, is around 5k words.

>>24468103
Thank you, reviewanon, we appreciate your effort posts. This project reacclimated me to the role, so for better or worse, I’m on a roll again. More to come.

>>24468196
It’s a cool idea.
Ive tried to get writers to serialize their work over multiple issues before, and it doesn’t work as well as I’d thought, mostly because they are writing as it’s released (instead of pre-writing the whole thing), and so they often want to edit the piece after it’s been published. Not everyone but some. That was, of course, then, so things maybe have changed. Also, anons have a hard time counting on me for any real consistency.

>>24468103
interesting judgements. would be interested to hear your thoughts on the pieces in ventoux as well

Hold on. I'm a serious author. I have my catalog "parked" on a WN site. I'll issue you some ideas.

You want a short story? This functions as a short story. Its a sample chapter from my YA fantasy:
https://moonquillnovels.com/book/the-bridge
>
If you at all like it (the Bridge) prose wise. You can call me out by that pen name in one of these "generals" you are making. My pen name is, well... you'll see it. Figured a short story, some action, might fit what you want. If you get curious (no idea what you are in the IRL writing world) just ask. I have a couple "tight", linear, trad length noir from a series I could point you to.
>
Thank you for your mild interest. I have yet to gain traction.

>>24468570
PS - if you read "the Bridge", to contemplate? Please consider leaving something. A rating, a one sentence review, a comment... anything. Parking trad novels, on a WN site? I'm invisible. Looking to change that.

>HAHA by Adem Luz Rienspects
Much like in Mixtape Hyperborea, the author leverages textual experimentation to good effect, but the humor/wit kinda overstays it's welcome and is pushed to the point of absurdity by the end.

>Tiller by Diogenes of Indy
Good set up, suspenseful middle, weak climax and ending. It seems like it cut to black at the moment of greatest suspense, author should have found a way to see it through in detail without compromising the tension.

>>24468771
And what about the rest?

>>24468396
>Also, anons have a hard time counting on me for any real consistency
This is the overwhelming problem.

>>24468570
>>24468585
Will definitely check this out tonight.
I’m not sure if you’re caught up on the lore of &amp Magazine, but everything they say about me is true.
But yeah, I look forward to reading it. I have read a LOT of books from /lit/ authors, and I do look forward to finally rating and reviewing these titles for the YouTube. Thanks for chiming in. I’m still working so I have t clicked yet, but have you published any physicals via KDP?

>>24468771
Obviously I took some liberty with the design of HAHA: although it was composed originally in all caps, I emphasize the word HAHA throughout, so hopefully that works and doesn’t distract from the content.

I really wanna know what anons think of my robot. who cares about the issue.
also isn’t anybody impressed with my ability to call my dũbs and reference my own OP?

>>24468103
Yes, RPV’s poem is spread over 4 pages.
He did not get back in time to recommend any changes, so BUY YOUR COPIES NOW because after he does get back to me, I’ll likely change the issue to meet his requests.

>>24468103
No, K. K. Wing was only very influential but does not personally contribute to this issue. In fact, I reached out to them but have yet to hear back. I might have the wrong email.

35 pages in and this is GIGA-cringe dog shit so far. hoping mnm stuff is ok... fucking hell this is pretentious shit lmao

>>24467088 (OP)
wow that Tiller story was a turd. jesus

>>24467088 (OP)
wtf that was it? mn-dr's contribution was a bunch of scribbles? save your time folks this is faggot ass low effort shit with baby's first indesign template. nothing to read and the graphic design would have sucked 10 years ago when it may have been relevant. it sure as fuck isnt now.

>>24470749
as the other anon said, its brevity is sure to have anons overlook this, and stretching it to the usual 96 pages is weak (no one is buying a physical i don't think) and general criticisms are valid but you don't have to be so harsh
short as it is there's much time to be saved in the first place, but i don't think that was it tho - i haven't seen you mention all pieces?

>>24470893
*isn't much time to be saved

>>24467088 (OP)
Absolute tripe. I read it all (didn't take long). You clearly just rushed this out because a superior image board zine, with actual talent behind it was launched (https://boards.4chan.org/lit/thread/24461327) and you scuttled this crud together to try and maintain a shred of relevancy. I am guessing this will be the last (thankfully) edition of this pathetic excuse of attention seeking behavior.

>>24469926
there's a fuck ton of grammatical issues in it

not sure if you care but, thought I'd point it out

>>24470749
Thank you, cur, I gave you special thanks in this issue.
>>24471354
I hadn’t seen that! Issue Twenty took like 2 years to make so I certainly rush anything.
In fact, everything is working as planned. This is what happens every time: I release the issue, and several anons shit on it. Perfectly average day.
>>24472078
Yes, please point them out to me. I don’t usually copy edit submissions.

>>24472168
Didnt*

>>24472168
>"YOU’RE GONG RIGHT TO THE TOP"

>"YOU WOULDN’T SPEND ANY TIME THINKING ABOUT WEATHER YOUR MOVES LOOKED GAY"

There's also a few times where question marks are put at the end of lines that aren't really questions

Not sure if that's a stylistic choice or not

>>24472168
>2 years to make this drivel
Holy fuck. And you only got 39 replies, 2 of which are by me, on the image board that is meant to be your source of support and content. Just give up. There are FAR better zines out there now and the future for them is very bright indeed.

this shit dead fr

>>24472358
you are fascinating
you are the undefiliable virgin mind

>>24472929
very crabby response. my gripe however is that he should've just made a shorter pamphlet of it, if these were all the submissions (and/or just included the smaller crappy subs as claimed there were, >>24467233). there've always been filler graphic pages but the whole thing could at least have been twice as short, 48 pp. then you also have a better idea what youre in for

Zombies…

What are you doing these days? Still homeless, using fentanyl, and beating women?

>>24472929
>>24473496
At least I can always count on you to check it out whenever I do make a new one. Thank you.
Also Ventoux looks cool, I’d love to submit something. I assume you made it because i can sense your style in it, among other instincts. Looks great though, good job.
>>24474694
No I’ve moved upward and onward and consider myself a fully fledged terrorist now. Come hang out, we can light the biggest wildfire California’s ever seen.

This manages to be both cheeks and ass, but bottom hasn't yet been reached.
>>24469929
The robot is neat, it's like an AI for giving my posts artificial (You)'s

Next time, you should add some literature to the writing magazine. You never even asked for submissions. I would have sent something.

>>24474982
There was some - albeit scant - literature , that is. And in the past there was a lot of shitting when a (submission) thread was made. But agreed. It feels different to in the beginning when more anons were introduced to it and felt (I think?) incentivized to send in their whatever submissions. Now it's maybe a handful of - named, maybe somewhat recognizable - people that still bother and idk how the average anon looks at it if at all,
