Today, the husk of Literary Twitter’s corpse lies buried beneath layers of AI slop, propaganda, and memecoin scams, but not so long ago the writerly internet birthed some of the most memorable incidents of the pre-Musk era. Which pieces of discourse will haunt us in immortal infamy, and which are destined to decompose in digital graves? We need your help to decide!
Voting is now live for your favorite Literary Twitter moments, starting with an initial group of 64 seeded discourses selected by our editors, who really need to touch grass. Each day this week, you’ll have the opportunity to cast your vote for Literary Twitter’s most iconic (and absurd) explosions of hot takes and hotter arguments until a winner is inducted into the Literary Internet Hall of Fame, which we definitely didn’t just make up for this bracket. What will make it to the top? Bad Art Friend or The Problematic Author List? Cat Person or The Harper’s Letter? There's only one way to find out! Round 1 voting is open until 7pm EST tonight.
