Be serious. The new version is going to suck as bad as this one.

Not exactly, he says there are missing fonts and typographic errors. Tripfag says he downloaded some new software and is working on it.

It is I, not tripfag nor bottleman, but Big Papa: the diabolical bastard who ordered the entire TLOTIAT series in the Christmas thread. I have a third version ready to go, and I posted as such in the previous thread, but I need someone to update the cover for me. When I home I will upload the image and needed dimensions, as I don't have the equipment necessary to edit it properly on my own. The file for the book is a psd taken directly from the original doc as it was being worked on, so there are no omissions of font or typographical errors. I don't know how tripfag fucked up so bad.

Do they ever "run out of time" on lulu?
Like will they stop selling and sending copies after a certain amount of time?
Because I'm trying to figure out if I should buy shrooms/acid this week or get the book instead.
I'll probably do the former

"I think it looks fine" he said knowing it didn't actually subtract anything from the reading experience. "Actually, it looks pretty cool!", sweat running down his forehead. He knew the poster wanted another version but this was hour 40 of editing, not including the writing or reading the book, he was tired and actually felt a little bit over the whole thing. He had helped write a book in 2015, and edit and publish it. He was a publisher now, a pretty shitty and lazy publisher, but still.

He had read some of the comments telling him they were so happy that someone actually published the damned thing, he decided, for once, to listen to those poster instead of the nitpickers who didn't like the cool apostrophes.

It was 4AM, he still smelled of the cigarette he had smoked after he posted the fourth edition. Work tomorrow wouldn't be all that fun, but at least he was a published author now. He decided to call it a night and probably to not release a fifth edition.

Good job OP.
>>
>>7542497
Oh shit, thanks anon!

That just saved me $7.80 off the price for the book, and probably a bunch for the shipping to Australia!

I think I'm going to go ahead and make the purchase right now.

Just to be 100% sure, it's this version, right?

Blue cover version?
>>
>>7542567

No such thing, the one on lulu is the only printed one, you can check the preview and see that it says that it's the fourth version. It is the latest one.

The one who says I'm fucking with you is fucking with you. Read through the thread if you must, but this is the final version and only available version

Ah, okay, thanks guys.

Going to make the purchase now, I sure hope it's worth it.

Holy shit, you guys actually added my story into the book.

Thank you so much, editor.

This is going make me look like a faggot, but my eyes are actually getting watery right now.

It takes 6-8 weeks for Amazon to list it y'all

Since it seems to just be an update to the same listing, if I bought this yesterday afternoon, what are the odds they'll print me the fixed version?

DELUXE VERSION IN GLORIOUS 80mm COLO(U)R

http://www.lulu.com/shop/anonymous/hypersphere-deluxe/paperback/product-22512556.html

(Don't spend $40 on memes please)
>>
Please be reminded that the HYPERSPHERE DELUXE, while in color is printed on paper that is pretty lightweight since lulu doesn't support printing 740 pages on expensive paper, and it would cost $100 for even 500 pages.

If you're planning on actually reading it, pick the regular non-DELUXE version.

I like the hypersphere storyline, it's pretty fun to read.

My favorite bit is probably the one with the guy who thinks that he is going to have sex with a girl on the deck of a ship, but instead finds a gay orgy.

this is only for inernational shipping. US only color release costs 35USD
>>
>>7542528
man im sure that $9 a year is definitely worth it
>>
>>7544686
The deluxe version is the "value color" edition printed in the US and it costs $39. You can't make a premium paperback in A5 format in color that is over 500 pages. Trust me.
>>
>>7542466
Was Sam Hyde mentioned in it? There's a single reference to him in Legacy of Totalitarianism

it's far too difficult to write something serious and still have board-wide participation. impossible, actually. posters enjoy these projects because they're fun and funny, and if they want to write real shit they do it by themselves.

hypershere is actually good though imhomdf

>>7544735
>hypershere is actually good though imhomdf

Every page is "LOL U MAD, READER?" "LOL, U MAD, PUBLISHER?
>>
>>7544745
Oh, you mean self-referential and postmodern?

Yes.

Probably because most of the modern books /lit/ enjoys do this.
>>
Bought a copy just now. I consider the outlay as an investment in my case for a lifetimes autismbuckaroos
>>
So now that the Hypersphere is completed and published, when will work on the next great novel begin?
>>
>>7544753
You're proof that Hypersphere was written by a bunch of /tv/ kids who browsed /lit/ for one summer.
>>
>>7544757
Just as a warning or whatever, make sure you set up the google doc to A5 format right at the beginning, so much of what took time in the editing process was because this was not done and EVERYTHING had to be reformatted.

That's usually not a problem if you're just writing text, but DEAR FUCKING GOD /lit/ likes to play around with cool formatted text and use that it's not just a website.
>>
>>7544778
I don't know if /lit/ will accept it, but I've got 11 pages of a good start of something we worked on a month or two back, but it's in A4.

Is it too late to fix it now?

Here's the link if you want to see it.

Someone told me what it is earlier in the thread, I think the editor received the code from the website or something and shared it with us.

Either that, or it's some promotion happening on the website for the time being.

Will the Amazon edition be Paperback or just Kindle?

I live in a third world shithole and Lulu will not ship to me.

Both, but Amazon probably uses lulu in the background to ship and might not have world wide shipping.

If you have infinite amounts of money you could use viabox.com

Hello. One question to the tripeditor. Much appreciated for the final edition, much thanks to Big Papa as well. I would just ask if you could, possibly, send profits from purchases to a fundraiser or charity of some sort, voted by the people of /lit/.

Regards, Bottleman.

Yes, it's finished, it's published, 30 people have bought it already.
