Ok guys this is a tough story to tell. But I feel like I have to tell it. &amp the organization is in fact for sale. This guy is lying to you (there have been different editors for each issue). I should know. I'm one of the billionaires who tried to buy &amp. There are certain websites on the Internet where underground literature zines are bought and sold like Ukrainian prostitutes. All billionaires know where they are, though the plebs would never suspect they exist. It's a status thing. When I hang out with Elon Musk, he's like, I have some bitchy actress girlfriend who beat up Johnny Depp and I have a space ship and some car company. And Bezos is always like, I have this expensive ex wife and I own every book ever and I built a weird forever clock in a desert. So what do I have? I needed something. Something to show those nerds I was the biggest billionaire ever. The baddest. So I tried to buy a literature zine on 4chan. It was a shadowy endeavor. I had to send my assistant's assistant to do the due diligence. They asked for at least $5 million. Fuck it, who cares, right? But then the scary shit started happening. Gopher corpses in my mailbox. Frightened board members at my LLC's. Weird messages at my country club. It was gangstalking. Legit gangstalking. Every time I was at Davos I was like, is that Bill Gates? No, that's the &amp guy running around trying to shove needles into people. It kept happening. He was in my casino suite in Vegas. He was the copilot in my private jet. He was everywhere. "Just sell me your shitty zine at any price," I said. "You have to write some hyperlit first," he said. That's when he made me take the pills. It's hard being a billionaire. You learn everything's for sale. But you also learn everything has a price.

LQ went under due to cancel culture. This magazine is 10x shittier. They don't screen for quality. You could write a pee-pee poo-poo post and they would accept it. This magazine will soon go under when it gets bought by the distributor. The distributor is not going to let them release the e-version for free. The dude who claims to be owner is retarded if he thinks someone who wants to distribute the magazine is going to allow a free e-version. I mean they already sell at $30 a piece. Remember the content is of a terrible quality so no one who isn't "published" in this magazine would dream of paying $30 for such a steaming pile of shit.

I found the quality much higher than expected, not just of the writing, but of the book itself. Did you actually read the first two editions? They were entertaining, engaging, had a couple solid pieces of fiction in each, not to mention the short and to-the-point non-fiction, as well as the pleasant, tongue-in-cheek aesthetic. This is a great project. I think it could somehow sustain if it finds a sympathetic distributor. I see it along similar lines as Adbusters ten years ago, but with actual writing in it.

Also, LQ hasn't gone under. Fifth edition is at the printers now. Probably gonna be a gap between fifth and sixth edition, but that's due to the workload of the thing and some personal issues unrelated to the quarterly itself.

of course content is screened for quality.
i have rejected pee-pee poo-poo submissions already; there's some anon who submits the same Nigger-poetry about once a week.
the trash found in &amp, believe it or not, is curated trash. its position amongst the other trash and its delicate trashy composition are not accidents.
if i had more work of a higher caliber would i use it? if it came from /lit/, then yes. i've also received lots of decent MBA content was clearly composed at a college level but had nothing to do with /lit/.
the magazine calls for 'dynamic content', that is, content that is so mosaic, so differential, so contrasted, that it gives an almost psychedelic, or psychotic effect.
its important to the aesthetic to house both works of esteem and works of disrepute within the same space.
&amp makes no promises with regards to quality, the only guarantee there is, is that the magazine is /lit/.

i guess i would say i'm the right fit for the job because i've got experience now interviewing subjects and writing accompanying articles.
and both of the interviews i've done for the magazine were friendly. i never applied any pressure. of course i'm only interested in interviewing people i admire, like selfpublishing authors like Gardner and DJC. i probably wouldn't want to interview somebody if i had to be mean.
other than that, the only thing that sets me apart is my ambition. i just emailed BestGore and Distasterpeace and they were like, 'k.'
if i can score an interview with Gardner or Waldun or Moldbug or Pervert or Geohotz it will be because i just asked.
