| Q | What's the goal of lit.org? |
| A | Lit.Org's goal is to produce quality
pages related to the scene. Any projects dealing with underground art,
whether it be lit, vga, music, ascii, ansii, computer gaming, demos,
E-Mags, Zines, whatever. Our goal is to have a central place
where people can associate work from their favorite groups, as well as
several projects done by the lit.org staff and members.

| Q | Why did you see a need for lit.org? |
| A |
Basically, a lot of groups already had domains but because lit groups tend to be a lot smaller than the art groups, it's harder to pay the domain fee. Lit.org is a place for groups that can't afford their own domain, but want their site to be scene related. It's an alternative to "www.geocities.com/are51/02930293483049." Now there's one convenient site to get your page hosted and its a good central starting point to get linked up with your favorite scene groups. |
| Q | Why choose the name "lit.org" if it encompasses several scenes? |
| A | I personally write more than I draw or make music, as do most of the people I work with in the scene. I am a very big advocate of the Lit scene, seeing how the likes of ACiD have more or less condemned it as an art form1. By naming it Lit.Org and hosting some of the biggest art sites, its like a big F*CK You Art boy. A lot of the people who work on lit.org and those who support it are artists… and as a general rule, they support us lit people, like by helping us find other writers, or by illustrating our work. Lit.org is a fine mixture of all the scene forms. |
| Q | Who is helping on this project and what do they do? |
| A | Right now… MIA and I run the Entire site solo. Eclipse and Cappacino were heading up some of the chores. Eclipse was doing all the art, and capp was on FTP... After our move is complete, I will update the pages and start looking for staff again. |
| Q | What kinds of help do you need? |
| A | Right now I'm going to be looking for people to help put up various projects that will help connect the major scene sites so we have a great network of scene related materials. We have some tutorials from various people, we're going to have html design help, and a lot of support files. We want to create a central place for people to download the "acidview" and other useful utilities. There are a lot of projects coming, they're just in development right now. |
| Q | How will lit.org be changing over the next year? |
| A | Lit.Org just moved to a T3 site, I'd say this is the biggest change for the site so far. We have to pay for this speed, but its not a lot and it gives us 100% Control in a Linux Environment. This means we can offer full cgi access, autoresponders, web boards, counters, and anything else that will help us make the site better. We also now have an UNLIMITED storage capacity. Ftp.lit.org is our anonymous ftp site, which we hope will become one of the biggest collections of zines and scene packs out there. |

On a special
note, Lit.Org was offering free web
space to ANYONE who wanted them, I'm afraid we can no longer do
that. Each Shell/FTP/WWW account costs US 15$ to create (this is the fee
from our host). If anyone is interested in having your pages up here,
Simply pay the 15 bucks, and it gets you 1 FULL Shell account to use for
ftp, www and pop3 e-mail. This is a ONE TIME setup fee and Lit.ORg
NEVER SEES the money! We will be trying to buy a few accounts to give
away in some up coming contests that we intend to host.
