TextLit by Theodore Fox
Theodore Fox’s project Text Lit converts the tumblr page into a site that looks just like a txt file. Theodore curates from the wayback machine web archive, bringing out “text scene” highlights from the monospace writing culture.
From his introduction:
“The text scene which emerged in the mid to late nineties and carried through to about 2005 was an odd product of nostalgia for the writings hosted on BBSs held by people just old enough to have read them before the internet took over. As a result, they took a lot of style and tone from a previous generation of hackers and trouble-makers, but turned the medium into a literary one. Most of these writers were teenagers and filled hundreds of kilobytes worth of text files (tfiles for short) with short fiction, essays, poetry, and diaries to the world.”
