This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I literally send authors the average cost of money for their book to their patreon with notes telling them I would've paid their publisher if I could've gotten a DRM-free .epub after enjoying the copy I got on zlib.
