Magic Mountain - Mann

yup

Here's another.

Some sort of amoeba blob creature develops sentience on an inherently inhospitable environment. They have several forms and a lopsided hierarchy very different than humans. Their weird sex stuff is also written about in detail. humans find out about them eventually but communication is so difficult as to be considered magic that only a couple blobs actually understand, and they struggle to communicate this to other amoeba blobs. Eventually humans and blobs go their separate ways.

Anon, its an anonymous anime board where no benefit can be gained except through exchange of ideas. Your only possible way to effect the system is from your own personal input, you cast your vote about what content you want to see on /lit/ by creating that content. Aside from the human attention that you or may not receive based off your input (and quality doesn't always tend to be the determining factor here), ideas are all you get. It's all time spent exchanging temporary dialog, nothing more.

If you stop enjoying the consumption, or the creation, of the content the board holds, you know the solution.

four men and for women get jailed in a huge glassdome for two years, which contains vegetation and animals. They master their daily lives by farming and fishing and collecting fruits.
A drama in the dome developes because the retards get horny and of course want to fuck. One bitch becomes pregnant in the glasshouse and receives the baby in there. After two years the crew is supposed to leave to get replaced by another crew but the bitch insists of staying for another two years with her baby because she thinks that this is the purest way to life instead of the modern life outside of the dome

Oh, brother. Opinions? I stated a fucking fact. The point i this--
Post-mods like to point out elements in contemporary fiction that distinguish it from the fiction that came before. Some of these distinctions CANNOT apply to Don Quixote because he was ALREADY USING many of these elements in the late 16th century. To call DQ 'post-modern' then is a figure of speech denying the modern 'authentic' its authenticity. Wake the fuck up.
