(((Self)))-published. Like pic related.

I "created" pic related knowing exactly how it'd be received. I needed to do it and put it out there even if I knew it'd be a fruitless endeavor from the start.

Unironically pic related if that's all you're looking for.

I wrote pic related in one month after quitting my job. Editing took a couple more months.

It was absolutely a retarded idea but I'd do it all over again because that job made my life a living hell.

Been there, done that. I wrote the first draft in a month and didn't """collaborate""" with anyone either.

Though if you're talking about group projects, /lit/ did four of those.

I do. I haven't had anything you could really call success with it due to only figuring certain things out as I went along and a general lack of money for ads, but doing things like duping Oprah book club readers to buy your weird, somewhat offensive self-published fiction through advertising is always fun even if there isn't any money in it.

I'm the most important author of the 21st century but I'll likely die before it's acknowledged.

I did though. It's not exactly flying off the "shelves".

Tell me about it.

A self-proclaimed "experimental" novel written just last year.

My opinion is that it doesn't receive that sort of writing at all now. Agents and publishers are only willing to take "risks" on authors who've already established themselves in one way or another, so you practically never get anything that actually goes against the grain these days unless it's either self-published or put out by some random indie publisher (arguably worse than Self-publishing because they tend to have a far smaller reach).

Pic related was probably the only attempt at that by someone from this board that was actually finished so far.

Whether it succeeded or not in any sense is... debatable.
