/lit/ - literature

I mean, it's not bad. There just isn't that much going on yet.
But I like how fast posting is. Feels like people are actually discussing literature again on here.

Yeah that's cool, but nothing going here. At least not an absolute shit show (yet)

It's got potential. I mostly spent my time on petrarchan and lainchan, but on those /lit/ felt like a containment board.

I conducted a series of discourses with my father. He's only going to be alive for 19 years, so I guess we better fit that theory in now.

Have you thought about writing about your family? That's something I often come back to. The dramatization of what is subtly out of the ordinary that characterizes your relations to friends and family. Trying to dramatize and literally process what has actual value to me: attachment and care. How do you phrase that, how do you structure a story who's chief subject is the perception of the ordinary and what is subtly out-of-the-ordinary but not quite extraordinary.

Look thanks for the compliment, you probably know me from an irc Board. (yes a board).

You're gesturing at Drama. What kind of story do you have to write? Problem play? Brechtian anti-catharsis tragedy of the value-form's self abnegation? Comedy? Guignol?

My relationship with my father is regulatable, so doesn't "exceed" the social norm requiring a play to teach us how to regulate such a Passion of Affect into regularity and sociability. Plus if I knew how to regulate disaffected proletarian academics *I WOULD DISREGULATE*: aRISE you workers from your SLUMbers….

So whaddcha wanna do: rewrite me Merchant of Venice with Shylock as a Tragic Hero forcibly elevated low to high by renouncing Judaism for the love of christ. YOU MAY NOT REWRITE ANY PRIOR ACTS. YOU MUST PRODUCE ACT5:2 5:3 5:4 and 5:5. By 5:5 Shylock must have voluntarily reconverted to Christianity due to a flaw inherent in him and be raised despite his will to an end that was fated. YOU MAY NOT MAKE SHAKESPEARE'S VOICE CALVINIST.
If you can complete that then we can talk about making a non-Lyric moment between my father and I.
