We're pretty much done, goys.

If you'd like to add shit to the Final Chapter, DEATH ORGY, feel free.

Something about the size? I forget how large it's supposed to be.

If someone would be so kind as to make monkey cover the right size, I would be eternally grateful.

Also, do we know when we'll be able to order this shit? I need me a physical copy of this piece of "art"

Where will it be for sale? Hate to say it but I have reservations about using my credit card to buy stuff from 4chan
>>
>>7400913
I prefer the original OPs, maybe I've just become fond of it over time - also, monkeys are never mentioned in the book but all the featured characters in the other cover are.

>>7400944
It's okay man, you can put your details down and 4chan will automatically filter it and send it to it's database. It just needs your sorting code, security number, credit card pin and mother's maiden name.

honestly, it's not good. the one in the OP was way better and representative.

I prefer the monkey cover but I understand the original OP one was hard work by one of anons and we owe it to him for his great contribution

I thought I'd goof around and finish the cipher for the crypt section in the Parts. Maybe I should make the key comprehensible, in case someone actually wants to have at it on some boring Tuesday evening to replace their newspaper sudoku and crosswords. Do you think I should, Anons? Pic related.

And yes, it does translate into some shit. I tried too long to make the ciphertext actually *mean* something, but that's too advanced a challenge for me, given the limited selection of letters to choose per symbol.

You're lucky, the limit is 740 for a book

Jesus.

Infinite Jest is about 1000 pages. If you're comparing to the meme trilogy, Ulysses and GR are both around 700.

(for the front cover, original format / not the parody covers)

PART 1
>>7403257
(for the opening part, original format/illustration, summarizes a lot of what's to come and captures some of the tone)

PART 2
>>7400900 (if the front cover is >>7403237)
>>7403264 (if the front cover is >>7401580)
(only one NYRB parody)

PART 3
>>7403247
(introduces Illuminati-like villains)

PART 4
>>7403239
(subtitle is about fragmentation, lots of storied about identity/existential confusion)

PART 5

(final boss)

Only have to vote on one thing, the front cover. Sound good?
>>7403186
>the favorite is the book cover, and the second is the "high test gf" and the rest go in between the Part 1 - 5 headers.
Where are you putting these in? Between the Part header and the part illustration or as a full page before the header? Should be the full-page, between header and illustration it'll look butt ugly.

Oh shit guys, I'm really sorry but I only just finished my Trump monlogue.

I had some really good news that meant I had to work my ass off for something

Now, obviously, I missed the deadline - so if this shouldn't go in, or it's not good enough; then I totally understand. I think the finale is fantastic as it is already. But, seeing as I wrote about half of it already, I thought I may as well post it to see if it could be included - I tried, pretty poorly, to wrap up as much plot as I could before the Gala.

Should I cut it? Or can it go in?

Sorry for posting it as an image, the font change is minorly important though

No dude, that's gotta go in, it's great. Is the Netherrealm supposed to be inexistence? Since the Wucie chapter I had the impression it was the seedy underbelly of the hypersphere. I imagined Trump went to the void where Leopold was banished.

>>
>>7407824
Should just save us time, and prevent a headache for the ones we missed in the rest of the document (this is me, not a vote)
>>

Bottleman here. Don't consider this as my vote. There's a buttload of corrections in Part V I'm missing to do before I even approach the Death Orgy. By the morning of Wednesday I'll have enough time on my side to devote to the entire project again.
As for "creative license," general rule of thumb for me is to stay the hell away from tampering too much to my delight. I only do what is absolutely necessary.

Still, I would adjust pages by removing/adding a paragraph, changing size font (as in 14 to 13 or 12.5, nothing too lamentable), or changing the position of *my* excerpts since I'm not at liberty to readjust others', et cetera.

Bottleman here, my ego is unmatched. All proceeds of sale from this book go to me.

ill upload full size if people want to use this. black bar is to compensate for the original being the wrong proportions
>>
>>7409115
I like how the scratch n' sniff is still there. A few pooints.

-Do you think that having black borders on the front/back might allow you to reduce the image size and therefore increase the quality (seeing as the original images are small)?

-Are you going to add any text to the back?

And a general question to folk, has the document had any additions since about 36 hours ago? That's when I last personally compiled it.
>>
>>7409115
Remove "THE DEFINITIVE EDITION" or put it on the back
>>
HEY NOW
>>
>>7409115
Looking good - can we get that Ghandi quote and a few more for our blurb?
>>
pig disgusting
>>
>>7409224
How about, because we need a border for the size, you just mirror the front cover image the opposite way vertically and fade it a a bit and place it over the definitive edition border, with some writing.
>>

>DEATH ORGY
what about NECRO-ORGY
>>
>>7410421
It's foreshadowed in the Sam Murphy Death Orgy skit around part 3.

Speaking of which - can we make that a more obvious insinuation? Perhaps a tenth room reference?
>>
What happened to the multicolored last-line-of-Ulysses-ish story in Death Orgy?
>>
>>7410837
Oh that? Someone deleted it. I've been obsessing over it lately and can't figure a way to redeem the quality of its stream-of-consciousness, so I've been trying other techniques in a separate Word doc for about a week to no avail.
>>
>>7409115
Can we get some kind of border around the Hypersphere insert on the spine? Purple to black looks too glaring to me.

Hi guys, I found out that this section here has been repeated at least twice throughout the book. Unless there be any objection, I will delete the subsequent copies.
>>
>>7413230
spooky, I like it. Has a nice contrast tot he title, and sort of foreshadows some of the more absurdist stuff that comes later.
>>
Holy fucking shit, I can't believe this is still a thing.

I wrote the poem(s) at the end of part 4 and it was going to be part of an on going storyline within the novel but I didn't know how much effort would actually end up going into this.

Well done guys, I'm really impressed to be honest.
>>
>>7409115
I know it's been with you fellas for a while but the cover on the right there really is shit

It's too late now senpai - unless you've got a better one up your sleeve.

tbqh this book shouldnt have a cover because it shouldnt be "published"

you can't derail the shitpost train: it's beyond that that now, we're hurtling through this event horizon with the spasmodic rush of a hundred tweaking autist

nah.

i agree with that cover being shit.
make something simpler, stop writing bullshit on it like 'definitive edition'

>>
i think we should send this to a publisher

anywhere with press contacts can easily get articles written about how crazy it is that our book was written by over 100 people and might print it for the novelty alone
>>
>>7414098
I like this idea.
>>
>>7414721
I think the word nigger and kike is used at least 100 plus times.

If it was published, it would instantly garner global media attention due to the 4chan infamy and immediate left-wing press backlash; which would sell a lot of copies just from all the coverage. If a publisher was smart/suicidal they would sign it - and take all the royalties to boot.

If we were smart, we could try and forge a convincing hoax that a big publishing house trying to produce it - leak it Salon, and let the controversy tempt a smaller independent and more radical group into taking it up. Which would be super unlikely but not impossible, and at least garner clicks for the online edition.
>>
>>7414875
>If we were smart
And we aren't, but on the internet, anyone is gullible enough to get caught up on the hook. The piece of the puzzle you're missing is that left-wing nutjob backlash increases superexponentially but only a handful might have actually bothered purchasing the book and leafing through it. Clickbait is hit-and-miss, depends on how long the controversy will thrive/how long the media decides to milk this thing dry. I'm highly convinced Hypersphere's true and only audience is its rhetor - the immaculate hacker, 4chan.

Lowered bubble

>>7415173
Makes the title pop less, and the detail of the face is lost/confused. Maybe as the symbol on the spine, where monkey is now? Or as the author photo on the back.
>>
>>7415094
>>7415390
Which is preferable? If any
>>
Well, crap.

Something urgent came up, guys. I won't be able to help much these upcoming days, so I'm compelled to leave the Parts and the Death Orgy for someone else to edit.

Sorry guys.
>>
>>7415519
Eh fuck editing it then. Just space out the Part headers to new pages and call it a day. The rest is Hypersphere: caustic, irregular, kinda shitty
>>
>>7414721
No that would not work

Tundra, being more interesting, had one interested press contact and they never replied
>>
okay. what is this? Did /lit/ write a book? what started this?
>>
>>7414875

The funny thing is the book is leftist as hell

No way Jose, I have to entrust it to someone. Sam would be ideal, since he's been here with us since the very beginning. All I need is his e-mail.
>>
>>7416003
we've written one good (maybe two now) and three shitty books so far, keep up
>>
>>7415390
>volume 1
>there will be more of these
God please no. The only reason this one is good is that it's not tundra part 4.
>>
>>7415390
this looks great
please drop vol 1 tho
i agree with the other anon

even if we do decide to sequel it, the vol. 1 cheapens it

hypersphere is complete as it is
it contains every volume of this story

So, youll have to excuse me for not being up to date, but will this thing actually be available for purchase? Because I would have to buy that.

But really what is it even about?
>>
>>7416191
A really awesome sphere
>>
>>7416191
The Hypersphere is wide, and also vast.
>>
>>7416148
love it
in light of the other threads on /lit/ right now we ought to attribute one to Dan Schneider
he of all people would respond angrily
>>
>>7416191
It's like a cosmic Divine Comedy in the form of aped literary styles and shitpost ettiquete. At once fierce satire and playful comic surrealism. In short, The Next Great American novel.
>>
>>7416009
Yeah, I'm not at all left-wing but I got on a real anti-capitalist bent writing a lot of chapters.

It's like I was possessed by all the Zeitgeist of all the shitty Marxist posters.

>>7416025
I'll help, but I've got my Oxford interview coming up for December 9th, and then maybe a few weeks until I hit India. So, the contribution would be a bit sporadic.

Is it possible to lock and put a password on the doc? I can help edit, but I can only work on GoogleDocs
>>
>>7416842
Yes. I'm not sure how much good I'd be, my shitty laptop was chugging like Microsoft Excel halfway through the project due to the lag.
>>
>>7416853
Mine was too, but I think it was mainly all the activity. Now when I go on the 1-5 doc it only takes time to load all the pages at the start.
>>
Bottleanon, are you going to go through the suggestions/corrections on Death Orgy before you turn it over for editing?
>>
should leave in the correctional fuckstorm that is the very last page exactly how it looks. completely autisimal.
cunts are butthurt that they can't have the last fucking word. get a grip
>>
>>7416964
>add stuff to the end
>"cunts trying to get the last word"
>cut stuff from the end
>"cunts trying to get the last word"

that said, the penultimate page right now with the "HOW DO YOU DESCRIBE A BOOK [...] in the future" paragraph and repetition of the "Is this it?" footnote is interesting, matches the two versions of the intro to Death Orgy
