Yeah, seriously

I'm not sure I'm entirely see the need for a zine-type thing at all - but if you're going to do it, this is absolutely, absolutely the way to do it. One person actually taking care of it, nothing fancy, no grandiose plans that inevitably fall through. The zine was just annoying, frankly. I endorse this.

>>686975
>implying that makes it better
they can't even update a wiki
i just got an email asking to be an editor, with a writing sample and everything
this is now a 2 man project

submitting my shit now and telling ZWG to NOT put my story in their "zine"
I advise you ALL do the same

>>686931

This thread is not in any way affiliated with the official ZWG. We're still working on the 5th issue.

>>687013
i don't plan on reading it

>my face when ZWG faggots got told

Some places I can understand advertising, even if it's gay.

But GAIA ONLINE!? NO. That is TOO FAR.

>>686931
...the fuck

You don't say. We had a hard time figuring that out..

Running an errand, keep this thread bumped

FWIW, ZWG is in the process of changing to become better both in correcting past mistakes and injecting new blood. I like the idea of a second /lit/ publication but that doesn't necessitate the overthrow of ZWG - why can't /lit/ have two nice things instead of just one?

>>687039
First, because they have the exact same purpose - what is the difference in the intended function of the two? Second, I don't know if I would call ZWG a nice thing. It seems almost terminally stupid.

>>687039
>implying ZWG is a "nice thing" and not just an infected bruise that does nothing except spew up butthurt, elitism, and tripfaggotry

ITT: Butthurt all around.

Your second zine will fail like the first.

>>686888
Yes. I am going to send my "shit" to a guy called Atlas Fapped who called for content in a troll post with a shit image.

Riiiiiiiigght.

>>687039
ZWG constantly fails. they only get WORSE with every issue

nominating this for the ATLAS FAPPED #1 cover

>>687052

Meet Atlas Fapped. The first person to be refused in the ZWG.

Painful.

>>687054

I think you're forgetting Philosopher Chan. Unless... IT'S THE SAME BUTTHURT WRITEFAG.

>>687051
Do you think the ZWG guys have been magically endowed with superpowers?
They are Mexican Generals, just like me, but at least I won't put up any pretense of being some sort of "Official" publication
I'm just a guy who writes and wants to be read and critiqued.
Good luck getting that with ZWG and their threads full of bitching about basic layout problems that they refuse to correct

>>686931

But I would like to use the underlying data to avoid any surprises. But how many of you wouldn't see this as kind of a synthetic happiness? Real happiness is a continuous journey. (Applause.) Thank you very much. We truly have a choice although other people say it's bad et cetera, et cetera. But if you're creative and determined enough, you can see the beauty sink in once you take the time. Then all of a sudden it becomes easy for the brain to always think straight. I'll give you an illustration of this: In the middle of voyages, there are often beautiful places that you miss. I would like to compare this to a patient who hated art. I told him "you don't have to worry about it", because in the middle of conflicts, we tend to overrate overrating the differences at the side. If you look at the whole picture, there's a choice - but of course we also need surprises. How many of you believe that I could use only data to avoid any surprises?

you aren't fooling anyone

this thread was put up in the ZWG IRC room, and HURR ALL OF A SUDDEN these posts pop up

don't you have a 20MB pic to embed somewhere?

>>687059
No, I just think you are MORE of a faggot.

Good day.

I'd be mighty satisfied if BOTH of these zines buggered off back up the poop-chutes they fell out of.

THANK FUCKING GOD IM SICK OF ZWG

Wow. Two tripfags complaining about tripfaggotry.

Cool story, bros.

Zines of any kind are stupid. You are all faggots who should keep your shitty writing to yourselves.

>>687092
>Someone spit on me please, yell at me, tell me I'm stupid, just please acknowledge me...

This entire thread reeks suspiciously of samefagging.

Why does it matter? The people at ZWG are trying as best they can-imagine trying to get a bunch of chantards to cooperate...almost impossible. They're doing a fine job with what they're working with.

>"plans for expansion" i.e. advertising on Gaia and DA

Do you have any evidence of this?

>>687152
Yes, from you and Haet Machine. Good jorb.

>>687143
So, you dislike their covers and layout and file size, and dislike the fact that they want to become bigger?

>>687175
No one likes them

>>687167
There's one link where a contributer, not an editor, put a link up, and the internet detectives went all bananas.

>>687179
I know it's hard to move beyond solipsism in adolescence, but because you don't like something, that doesn't mean no one does.

>>687182
Can anyone produce this link?

>>687190
You can't deny that there is a significant portion of /lit/ that really, really, really hate the Zine, with a passion. And a lot more don't care for it.

dayum ZWG afraid of competition
maybe it will force them to NOT fuck up every issue

>>687203
I'm a part of that group.

And I hate this shit much more. Please all fuck off and die.

>>687204
Oh please. Let's see this project of yours. I'm very excited.

>>687190
Hey now, I'm quite fond of epistemological solopsism

ZWG has had problems, but the people behind it seem to really care about the project. Their work has been ambitious and they've been addressing their faults.

Atlas Fapped just seems like an asshole.

>>687237
>Their work has been ambitious and they've been addressing their faults.

This is what ZWG editors ACTUALLY believe!
