Today on Mistigram, a rhyming story of a haunted type-in BASIC program listing. The most terrifying thing of all - #poetry in an artpack! Traditionally present in the artscene sphere as a kind of creative underclass (not respected but a well-turned set of couplets could still garner you leech access at a warez board - er, or so they tell me!) literature was a major force in Mist Classic (a consequence of so much of the artscene being primarily conducted in the textual environments of BBSes and the IRC using CLI operating systems like MS-DOS and Linux) but only a very rare occurrence since the revival. Though Cthulu shared a lit in the most recent Fuel artpack and though his illustrated lit collaborations with Otium in Galza-22 set the stage for the Mist revival, this marks the first time Cthulu has released a new piece of “lit” in a Mist pack since the end of our first run in 1998. Yes, this doggerel is positively historical! (Wasn’t even his idea - textart god @sevendxs, of all people, suggested a lit to fill up the space between his ANSI art logo and the text of the MIST1017 infofile. Yes, hell must have frozen over! 8) http://ift.tt/2yPDx1Q
