If you're familiar with Ernest Cline best selling novel Ready Player One, you know that 75% of it is a shitty geek pandering masturbation. We're going one step further, trying to write a novel that's ONLY shitty geek pandering masturbation AND memes. Except now we have over 150 pages of memes and nested parentheses and footnotes and frankly I think we need more of Bugs. Anyone can edit this, feel free to contribute however you want to, or just watch it all happen. I don't know what else to put here so uh
Narrative can be chaotic as the main point is to reference as much shit as possible, however there is a plot to this novel.
Harry is our main protagonist. He has the curse of his thoughts turning into reality, while also possessing dementia. This explains the jumps in setting as well as the various different versions of Harry.
Feel free to write what you want, but consider this going forward so that you may make some sort of connection in your writing.
Jaxon Peterson
Reminder that Bugs is Harry's alter ego.
Owen Moore
thanks desu!~
Colton Smith
easy on the games
Mason Cruz
Also the beginning is >Chapter 1: One Night in Shittenberg (Author’s Note: This was, of course, a reference to Dr Martin Luther King Jr., the priest who started the Protestant Reformation in 21XX) And the ending is >CHAPTER∞ - THE END
Write between those two. After the ending there will be appendixes, footnotes and other misc stuff.
Jordan Ross
>games >easy
Samuel Ortiz
After we have enough, editor user will try to trim it down a little.
Dominic Barnes
I really do enjoy how just about every story begins with chapter one, so there's like 70 chapter ones at this point
Levi Anderson
...
Luke Robinson
i'm already working on that. making breaks and cutting down on shit where I see it.
Austin Bell
Love you man
Elijah Jenkins
This reminds me of an episode of Connections about that French scientist from the eighteenth hundreds that dissects animals with interesting devices. Burke is so good in that season.
also, I wish I better at the interwebs.
Nicholas Sanders
user... easy on the rules
Cameron Nelson
Sampler .001:
I am Alex Jones by Alex Jones
I am Alex Jones I wonder about estrogen levels in the water I hear (((their))) derisive laughter I see the clockwork elves I want to abolish the deep state I am Alex Jones
I pretend to make a difference I feel hot blooded and alive I touch the psychic vampires' fangs I worry about the schemes of the globalists I cry about the loss of our freedom I am Alex Jones
I understand some people think I'm crazy I say they've been brainwashed I dream about a world without globalists I try to sell prostate health products I hope I can sell more I am Alex Jones
Austin Young

Adrian Davis
Appendices should be moved at the end I think. There is too much risk of fucking it up (I almost just did). Might be best to just let writing develop organically for now.
Alexander Harris
This may be the greatest thing I've ever seen to come out of Veeky Forums and I'm only 2 pages in
Andrew Baker
How'd I do, goys?
Elijah Brown
You missed a lot of the history of the triple parentheses
Blake Carter
We should move the appendixes and the end marker to the ending after the document closes. I don’t support cutting off all the writing after that. Let the chaos flow but try to keep the basic structure from the first few chapters.
Christopher Clark
Doesn't have that genuine overexplanation feeling that the author's notes at the beginning of this work capture so well
Joshua Ramirez
Feel free to change it, it's on page 11. I remember reading about how it started but wasn't sure and was too lazy to look it up. I tried to go for that style but messed up a bit. I'll dig deeper and see what I can add.
Asher Bennett
I'd leave the Veeky Forums mentions out but that's just me.
Elijah Rivera
I'm curious, when is the stopping point?
Angel Fisher
Also I'd trim down the memes in the first few pages.
Connor Rivera
Just look up the browser add-on that started it. It was connected to a database of known Jewish writers and automatically put parentheses around their names so you'd know. Then Jews and their supporters co-opted it by putting parentheses around their own names.
Parker Hill
When we get at least 300 pages of publishable material.
Carson Russell
i think that this is the best option. Just let people write then organise it in some manner. Maybe we should have a cut off time after which the document is only edited.
Dylan Hernandez
>Turtles all the way down >publishable
but fair enough, i see what you mean.
if we're shooting for 300 complete pages I'd say we cap it at 400 and then close it for edit user to organize and clean up
Bentley Hall
Why not? Ready Player One was published...
>if we're shooting for 300 complete pages I'd say we cap it at 400 and then close it for edit user to organize and clean up I agree.
Levi Sanders
Are we actually trying to publish this? I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
Christian Long
Edit user here and I agree It's a bit tricky to make edits while people are still changing things throughout the whole text, so instead working with 400 pages of completed stuff alone would be much appreciated.
I'd buy two
Mason Hernandez
Anyway, is there any user with publishing experience? We can make it happen, we just need to figure out the way.
Blake Morales
The person who has to edit this will commit a gruesome murder before their obligatory suicide.
Gabriel Johnson
We should hook it up to a self-publishing platform of some kind, with all proceeds donated to a foundation for literal autists.
Nolan Gonzalez
Glad to see my Aquinas copypasta finally reused.
Caleb Perry
The former already happened
Jeremiah James
All profits should go into the funding of a paperback release.
Dylan Watson
Kek'd
Oliver Walker

Thomas Russell
Who was the sick fuck with "leg stretching" references?
Ready Player One had a pretty straight forward story with references for the nerds. This is a complete clusterfuck, making it more artistic but in need of goodfuckinglordthisiswaytoofuckingmuch work to even have a chance.
Dis some good calls.
Aiden Gomez

>My diary, desu I preferred "My diary, DESU". It has that extra spicy meta humour level
William Brooks
Can we try and get this book banned somewhere?
Zachary Smith
I saved it just for the next book, guy. I really enjoyed it
Benjamin Howard
Kek, write a letter to your local representative with excerpts, asking to ban it. Great idea for free press. We should embrace it and start a campaign after it's finished.
I'm hoping the obtuseness of dealing with this will set some sort of new legal precedent. Or we can just include a line somewhere outright granting them to Pinecone.
Isaac Cruz
>publishing the ebook >getting it banned >profits = publishing paperback >/tv/ has Amy Pascal email, we can sell it to SONY as their final nail to the coffin
Carter Parker
we could always market it as an anthology book
Parker Gutierrez
how did the last books get physical releases?
Dominic Hernandez
>Mindbending journey in the vein of Cloud Atlas or Gravity's Rainbow. Inspired by Ready Player One. Banned in 16 countries. Controversial. Voice of its generation.
Cooper Richardson
Since no one actually owns the rights, I think multiple people just downloaded it as a pdf and used those self-publishing websites
Mason Morgan
these collective docs are actually the perfect medium for most Veeky Forums browsers
nobody can actually finish their own coherent novel so this serves as evidence of genius without any practical effort.
like digging through miles sewer sludge in hopes someone shat out a pure silver pendant (and this in particular, it's that degree of certainty)
Michael Baker
pretty sure you can get hypersphere physically on Amazon
It would appear you are correct, but at these prices they definitely just had some copies printed at their own cost.
Kevin Gray
perfect
Blake Gonzalez
I think we would have to create a persona of the author.
But for now let's concentrate on the writing itself.
Ryder Cruz
A pal of mine bought a copy, I was surprised by the quality. It was actually fun to read
Jordan Bennett
Didn't we already decide it was written by Juan Verde?
Jacob Nguyen
Yeah I guess. Some onan should pose as the physical embodiement of the author tho if we want to make it popular.
Elijah Ramirez
Is that race change algorithm gone forever? A photoshopped spic john green would be perfect
Andrew Torres
This is without a doubt the worst book I've ever attempted to read.
I can't even follow the flow of the story with all the constant references. More words are spent explaining the reference than the actual narration and yet I can't even understand the references because every parenthesis has at least other nested parenthesis, dropping new references to explain the previous references.
Xavier Allen
To be fair, you need a really high IQ to truly understand this book. It sounds like most of it is going right over your head.
Gabriel Long
Ironically the best piece of metafiction since Flann O'Brien's At Two Swim Birds
Christian Gonzalez
It's almost like there's no discernible talent.
Nathan Perry
>mfw writing a book with anons
Hudson Bennett
Good idea.
Noah Wood
whats his power levle
Oliver Nelson
...
Hunter Sanchez
Needs more carrots desu
Easton Price
Do you think my edits will make it
Benjamin Roberts
this quite honestly, all my edits are god tier
editor, please don't get autistic. just edit out what is absolutely terrible or just spam.
Ian Johnson
I feel like half of the people writing this are from /b/ not Veeky Forums
and i dont think they are cross-posters either
Samuel Hernandez
don't worry, i'm being very careful when it comes to removing stuff. Most of what i'm going to be doing is reorganizing, i don't think i'll ever delete all of someone's edits.
I'll make cuts if and only if they're needed and may move some sections around for the sake of clarity. Honest. I know i'd be pissed if everything I added got nuked.
Lincoln White
yeah, a lot of weak shit and boring memes.
Hudson Fisher
what are your favourites? what shit do you think should get deleted?
Isaiah Ward
doesn't mean i'm going to leave dog shit in though, so make sure your sections/ edits are at they're best before we go into total editing.
Gavin Howard
I'd remove most references to Veeky Forums and the most obscure and unfunny memes tbhfamalam.
James Jenkins
thanks, i appreciate what you are doing
Adrian Edwards
eh, dont get rid of them just yet, just reword them
Sebastian Flores
Is the last part - Chapters cut due to time restraints, and pissy editors - parts that were cut from the book for now? Because it sounds like a good idea.
Tyler Carter
guys can you stop writing more stuff after the end, just write it before, the end is the end
Wyatt Cook
No, it's just some memers. Nothing was actually cut just yet afaic.
Also this:
Jaxson Reed
>tfw some guy jets pizza'd your genuine cry for help
Caleb Rodriguez
I deleted everything desu
Nicholas Hughes
newfag get out REEEEE
Daniel Gray
That will indeed be a minor annoyance. Good work.
Michael Campbell
the pages and pages of spam in different languages
Julian Morris
quit screwing with the font
Jace Bailey
and the header/footer
Leo King
STOP SELECTING EVERYTHING IN THE ENTIRE FUCKING DOCUMENT JESUS FUCKING CHRIST
Owen Richardson
The Harry theme ruins it
Aaron Rogers
Just wait a few hours. They'll have to go to sleep since a school night. Just do all your writing in a word doc and save it. Add it later when the retards leave.
