What do you guys think about heavy endnote-usage in novels? I'm writing one right now, and I feel like (am) copying DFW, but I also *really* like how it comes out. Thoughts on this?

So long as you cite his work...

Most people don't have any fucking clue who DFW is, so it'll probably go unnoticed. Actually, it will go unnoticed, because nobody's going to read it anyway.

DFW didn't invent footnotes

no, but I think he was among the first to use them to that extent in a fictional novel, if not the first.

Not him, but Nicholson Baker does it a lot in the Mezzanine. Not comparable in size to IJ though

Read the Nightlessons chapter of Finnegans Wake, if you want to see some real note-fuckery. DFW had nothing on that.
Here's a link just so you can see what it looks like
