Lost Glory Of The Literature Section. by vyrussbeatz: 10:09pm On Dec 12, 2018
Literature section used to be my niche for interesting stories, I would stay here for hours, sometimes overnight, reading without getting bored. Voila, the vibe dropped for over 2 years now.

Came across the thread for the most interesting stories on nairaland, it brought back memories of great stories I'd read here on nairaland that helped shaped my reading habit.

Sadly, most of these writers (both in sexuality and literature section ) are no where to be found. Guess life happened to them and they are prolly somewhere busy.

Dont know how possible and viable @seun, it will be nice to keep these writers here active. Prolly they get paid once their stories reach some certain amount of views and also curb the incessant plagiarism that chases them away.

Notables mentions: nitefury, frank3.16, fantasyisland, larrysun, pdude, Soldierman(Lost in absu), alot more I cant even remember again.

Miss you all wherever you are, please do not let the talent die. If you have published, let us know. We will buy.

Just incase anyone has the compiled list of these stories between 2005- 2014. Please Kindly share.

Let the new nairalanders feel the vibe and I'd love to read some again as well.

A lot of stories are posted here daily by amateur writers. The problem is there are not enough readers to consume them.
I for one come here from time to time. However if a story passes two pages I lose interest and move on.
Mentioning the admin and ‘pay’ in the same sentence are taboo in this forum. I remember how hard a friend of mine protested before he started paying administrators.

Cool point. Interesting thing about nairaland is, there will always be larger number of readers for good stories. Let one of the names I mention up there come back. or Ishilove, blueeyes01 etc.

You'd be amazed about the turn up so much the thread will even be derailed.

I can still remember the days of Sammyhoe"Everybody is a genius" and "Hope and the island of greatness"..
Many great writers then...

I'm still partially around, sir. My book, BLACK MARIA, has been published on Okadabooks. You can buy if you haven't read it. Thanks.
