The most "literary" accounts are the ones who have no relation whatsoever with the book industry.
suck my clit
If @dril wrote a book, he would be hailed as this century's greatest mind.
Checked him, looks like the average "witty account".
His only superior feature is that he's got 350,000 followers.
I prefer @coffee_dad (not me) who's got an interesting twist.
>If @dril wrote a book
Tao Lin brings the literary heat
Fuckhead. Dril is not about wit, but about education. About suffering. Rethink your post, please
@UtilityLimb is genuinely more cerebral and interesting.
my favorites, though not from a literary stand point, are @sskylark (for its lighthearted yet very strange irony) and @johnvvariety (for its creativeness, though he doesn't filter his bad stuff).
jesus just delete your account
UtilityLimb has been gone for years though and Skylark mainly posts on SA still, though her Twitter is good too

Sorry user, but you're little more than 1000 meters deep. Get on my level.
Im also a regular reader, sometimes-poster of FYAD. You're clearly unaware of a universal truth: the top of the tower is also... its entrance. C'est la vie Dumbass.
The most literary Twitter person deleted his original account in 2011 and hasn't even tweeted since 2012, and he never had any more than 800 followers
Can no one post Twitter accounts that don't have gorillions of followers?
The most interesting accounts are the obscure ones, since no one's parroting them.
I gave him a second reading. At first sight, it's still the same mediocre stuff.
He can "be about" anything, I'm not impressed.
Give the name instead of playing riddles.
>post-2008 FYAD
>ironic
They UNIRONICALLY care about niggers and slacktivism, dude. That's the least ironic shit you can care about. FYAD hasn't been hip for ages.
For true irony you have to go to SASS, where the superposition of caring/not-caring about sad 50 year old Lowtax and his cat lady moderators is still ambiguous enough to be self-sustaining, and people aren't afraid to make fun of browns or women.

>Still thinks being Racist is edgy and cool like a 12 year old from the year 2006
>In this, 2016!
>"Nigger... Hahahaha I said Nigger..."--you
30 something memes
If you seriously get your irony/humor from lame twitter accounts then thats embarrassing
>Give the name instead of playing riddles.
It doesn't matter since you won't be able to find any of his stuff anyway
Honestly, the funniest thing on the internet from the past couple months is Evalion, so racism is definitely still funny
FYAD was at its peak in 2009 actually, since it's when this thread happened: forums.somethingawful.com
>"Nigger... Hahahaha I said Nigger..."--you
See, this is what FYAD feels like now.
>"haha nigger omg im so funny" - you. Yeah that's actually super problematic man. :/
>willingly participating in the social media botnet
Remember, when it comes to social media, you are not the consumer. You are the product being sold.
Would have been better if you said "You are the one being consumed."
I bet you're that one dipshit.
>For true irony you have to go to SASS
lmao
Yeah, those guys are painfully, disgustingly sincere

That's is in fact, my username
wtf, lit has gone to shit in the last months. What the hell is this thread? How come nobody mentions plebs and patricians and the like? And a twitter thread? Back to vr.
You don't have to use your name/picture.
@cow_eye recently caught my attention
other then that i haven't seen any literary twitter experiments besides just weird twitter. some of the alt-writers have pretty funny accounts even if their writing sucks

is this your own twitter
Pynchon.
no
I don't tweet, just read frogtwitter

Bump
Obviously doesn't Pynchon, the famous recluse, have twitter.
He should make one.
Where's s4s?
Veeky Forums is already on the pic, durr

>make a publishing twitter because if you're not on social media you're obviously some sort of psycho who we would never hire
>follow a bunch of editors, publishers, publishing companies, book critics
>they all post stupid bullshit and when they talk about books it's as a rule almost always about either shit YA published in the last 10 years or a select few classics (Bronte, Austen, Melville (only Moby Dick))
Christ what a waste. A whole lot of me feels like the publishing industry would do a lot better if the people involved in it knew what they were talking about instead of a bunch of
being a snob about jokes is lame
yeah me @gifaddE
You're a fucking fag
Some jokes are better than others. Deal with it.
lol I know
Oh... ok. Sorry for calling you a fag then. Wasn't trying to be mean.
fag as in fucking loser or homosexual?
There aren't any, OP.
Yes he does he just uses a syonym.
You mean a pseudonym.
My own account @tremendo_enk is the most interesting stuff you'll find. But don't follow me, because i'll start pandering when i notice
Fuck you.

I wish you hadn't mentioned it
is this irony?
No
real peer review makes me laugh
If I wanted unimaginative antifeminism I'd just stay here.
@tifdaff
OH SNAP
Wasn't aware of this. Pretty good.
>unimaginative antifeminism
>giving credence to government funded autoethnographic work
...
I wasn't tho. I just said that the captions are unimaginative antifeminism.
Who cares?
you just like blew my mind man, i'm going to india
Who cares about bad unimaginative attempts at humour? As I already implied, not litizens.
The captions aren't really supposed to be humorous. The humor is already present in the content posted.
>they say male privilege exist
>those wacky radicals
Thanks for making it clear that you're just mad that the Twitter account undermines your horseshit belief system and twisted interpretation of reality
I'm nor mad. I'm close to lethargic.

PhDA: Alright sounds good, lets submit
That's why you're making a lot of madposts about the Twitter account in this thread, I guess.
They're not madposts.
They're.
No.
And still i got followers. People are weird, aren't they?
i bet that guy experienced plenty of disorientation, ruptures, and leakage after fucking all those gay Caribbean hookers
Actually, yes.
No.
Yes tho
No.
Your mad ITT
No.
You are
No.
Yeah you are.

Actually, that's wrong. You're mad.
