>>9065364
People should probably try to make their posts in the appendix doc somewhat relevant to the plot. Right now we have only two submissions that are connected in any way to the Pantheon. Jokes are good, but we want this to go somewhere.

Agreed this would look good as a background.
It's still early but I think it's good to have some idea of a cover floating around, makes the project seem more real.

>>9065917
The Man with no Talent is related to the plot. It explains how David Foster Wallace became a god.

When he prayed to the gods of the pantheon, they were so shocked by his lack of discernible talent that they deified him.
>>9066273
I'm going to put this through that colourizer that was popular on /a/ like two weeks ago and see if I can make it look good. This is probably a better choice than the original painting, and is less likely to get us in any potential legal trouble.

Colour soon.

I've updated the setting:

The Pantheon have killed God (ty based Nietzsche) and have attained power in the heavens. Each God has their own slice of what was Paradise and have now changed it to their own will, surrounded by their own sects of sycophants. I envision a middle ground where they’ve all pulled magnificent chairs into a semi-circle, with dead Angels littered leading up the stairs to them from the Gates of heaven (taking over heaven and killing god is bloody business yo). The Gods started the apocalypse early, calling on the 4 horsemen to destroy the world. They did so to cement their rule in the heavens against human meddling and the potential for another to ascend to godhood and affect the pantheon’s balance… Anon finishing his (god-awful) piece of literature is only a casus belli.

>>9066692
Nice anon. You could also try coloring it to go with this >>9065632

we have to use lenticular printing on the hard copies so that it changes from the original to this depending on the angle

>>9066866
There's still room to polish it a bit more I think.

When are we trying to have this published by?

How much would it cost to get a nice cover drawn?
Nice enough to where people would be surprised.

>>9066941
Anyone know how long Hypersphere and Tundra took from beginning to the end of submitting text?

>>9066945
Somewhere between $100-$500, depending on the artist.

How will the editing process work?
Assuming this will end up as something trying to be high quality and not a jumbled mess, will we continue to discuss plot points and make changes in threads until the very end with everyone working together to make it as great as possible?
Should the authors of the main parts make a trip to better discuss their chapters and respond to criticism?
I can't imagine all of the interlude submissions will make it, so should we do some kind of vote as to what makes it?
I know I'm probably getting ahead of myself.

Nice anon.

We may have to change the kek gods appearance, so readers don't assume kek is on the cover.

unless he is??

Once at work I'll take the time to write a female god in the google doc. My idea so far is to have a dual deity: One side is the woman seen by /r9k/ (oozes sexuality, braindead, blonde, superficial, has it easy) and the other the woman idealized (virgin, quiet, knows she is less intelligent, looks like mum). I'd call her Venus Parthenos or something.
I'll think about it some more

>>9067437
>Once at work I'll take the time to write a female god in the google doc.
Next you'll start adding gods of colour and people of non binary gender.
>Muh diversity

>>9067437
>>9067451
I think it will be good to have a female god for anon to overcome. He could put on the whole pseudo intellectual show, and it will work, but in realty he's just being a sperglord
Maybe his nervousness toward talking to the virginal cute side would be misconstrued as reverence for her.
Maybe the sexy side will be too much and he will literally start jacking it right there, or cum in his pants, and guzzle his own cum which would also be respected.
I don't know, definitely need a female god in there for laughs, and because it adds a different dynamic not possible with male gods.

>>9067490
>definitely need a female god in there for laughs
Yep. Lets have anon become frustrated that he's 28 and still a virgin, so he rapes the goddess.

>>9067437
>>9067490
The idea of a female god is intriguing. If done right it could work well.

Tried to write some stuff today but it was all garbage.
Here's the best line I came up with.

Are we waiting to have everything planned out more before the main writing starts?
Not very much planning happened yesterday.

>>9066874
All attempts to write a collective novel since Tundra have been entirely the effort of redditors. I am being entirely unironic when I say this. Whether this attempt at writing succeeds or fails it'll still have irreparably fucked the board a little more by attracting all of these memespouting tourists who only know lit as that place where "I can shitpost about le meme trilogy as much as I want!"

>>9066945
Commission some really recognizable porn artist to do the cover. I bet Sparrow or Shadman would be down.

>>9067643
>the best line I came up with


"We will guzzle cum so much," said Dolan Grump "you will be tired of cum-guzzling!"

"What difference does it make at this point?" supplied Hitlery Cunton as she was being propped into her dark-tinted van by her various body guards and aids.

"It makes all the difference, Hitlery," Dolan Grump spat back. "For we will make cum-guzzling great again!" He gave his trademark shit-eating grin at the loud cheers of his mindless orange-skinned cum-guzzling-enthusiast supporters. Grump was sure he would make the greatest Cum-Guzzler in the entire history of the United States of Cum-Guzzling!

And the most revered writer of all times, Mrs. Just Kidding Rollin', They Hatin', had only one thing to say at the whole cum-guzzling shitfest, "Dolan Grump is gay and Hitlery is a niggeress, 'cos I said so, Goddamnit!"

>>9068402
It's gonna be fine anon, this book won't put an end to our secret club.
We just have to do what /a/ does.
Be really mean and yell at anyone new.

>>9068415
"Mangina!" Dolan Grump spewed, so as to have the last word!

At the end of the dozen strong Grump crowd, stood a young, emaciated, non-gendered, problem-glasses endowing, cum-guzzling PERSON, by the name of R. U. kiddinme, who was carrying a sign that said, "Stupid sexy Flanders would've guzzled cum!" But nobody paid any attention to it.

Dolan Grump, after having, at least in his own peabrain, won the debate, sauntered down the steps in his very own obnoxiously smug way and entered his limo, where his daughter, and favorite piece of poontang in the whole wide world, I-WannaCum was waiting with her feet touching the roof and stinky cuntflaps pointing to the car door, awaiting her father's peanut to diddle her fiddle.

you are welcome.

>>9066696
>killing god is bloody business
>potential for another to ascend to godhood
have my character of Dolan Grump, after having won the cum-guzzling contest, face the Gods.
Standing between the semi-circle of the chairs as the gods assess him for godhood in this cum-guzzling heaven, Grump, in his trademark orange smugness BTFO's all the Gods and becomes the God-Emperor he was always meant to be.

>>9068510
This is what the entire thing will be. Halfhearted reddit shitposting based on current events. Have you not read Tundra or Hypersphere?

>>9068366
Each chapter needs to be more or less planned, but it can happen on a chapter by chapter basis. For example, the Stirner-god chapter is looking very fleshed out, so writing could begin on that very soon.

>Not very much planning happened yesterday
Across the whole document there was a decent amount. The autistic cum guzzling anon got to the doc early this morning though.

Grump: "As we welcome the arduous Brave New World Order, we, as the reigning cum-guzzling champions of the world must remember what our ex-cum-guzzling champ, Just Fucking Kringing, once said, "We choose to guzzle cum. We choose to guzzle-cum in this decade and guzzle the other bodily fluids, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that guzzling will serve to organize and measure the best of our cums and other bodily fluids, because that cum is one that we are willing to guzzle, one we are unwilling to spill, and one which we intend to suck, and the other bodily fluids, too."

The entire crowd of about 7 orange-skinned cum-guzzlers cheered like their cums depended on it.

Dolan Grump gave a smug, ear-to-ear, before continuing.

"The previous nigger cum-guzzler made us look incompetent in the eyes of the world's up and coming pissing, pooing, and cum-guzzling pooperpowers. But not anymore! With me as the head-cum-guzzlers, we will win all the cum-guzzlings."
Grump paused for effect.

"I know cum-guzzling." Dolan Grump said bigly-smugly. "I guzzle the best cum. They're terrific. Everyone agrees." And his orange-skinned fan followers went mad as they heiled their Hitler, uh, i mean, hero.

"Pooperpower 2020! Mangina!" Dolan Grump finished as, once again, he wanted to have the last word.

>>9068556
this is exactly what this is supposed to be.
there never was any intention of writing a serious novel.
Have YOU not read the Tundra or hypersphere?

This looks fucking homo.

Meant to address this post last night because it asks a few good questions.

>How will the editing process work?

>Assuming this will end up as something trying to be high quality and not a jumbled mess, will we continue to discuss plot points and make changes in threads until the very end with everyone working together to make it as great as possible?

You basically answered the question yourself. Ideally, that is how the editing process will work. If it gets significantly jumbled further down the line and we want to ensure that there's some kind of method to the madness we can make the docs comment-only.

>Should the authors of the main parts make a trip to better discuss their chapters and respond to criticism?

The current plan is to make a google doc for each main chapter. These docs would most likely be comment only from the get-go, so that the steady writing progress of whoever is writing each one is not impeded, but anons can over as many suggestions,criticisms, potential edits as they like.

I think it would be cool if at least one main chapter could be attempted to be written totally collaboratively, but we can see how that goes.

>I can't imagine all of the interlude submissions will make it, so should we do some kind of vote as to what makes it?

There aren't actually too many at the moment. anons have seen slightly more eager to submit prose than poetry for now. We will see though. If need be we can vote in some way, most likely using the comment feature or something.

if you are such a great writer, why don't you come up with something as genius as "Hitlery Cunton", or better yet, "Mrs. Just Kidding Rollin', They Hatin'"?

I think I have replied to everything I missed last night.

So a couple things,

- Planning is going well, but the document is so large that certain parts are being neglected. Despite this, almost every single entry field has at least something in it, which is great. As the project progresses, I will probably start screenshotting certain that are in more need of input than others and post them in the thread to generate discussion or just direct peoples attention to them. This should speed up aspects of the planning process significantly.

- In terms of writing, the Stirner section is looking like it will be the first to be ready. There was already an anon who seemed keen to write this section (the same anon who contributed huge amounts to the plan) so he will have first dibs. If Stirner-anon gets back to me, I will set up a google doc specifically for the Stirner section, where we can vote on the name ideas etc, and Stirner-anon can start putting his work up. As he starts putting his writing up, I will most likely make the doc comment only, so anons can suggest edits and other constructive feedback in real time, without messing with Stirner-anon's creative flow.

- I had an idea for some added context for the appendix. We could have a god present during the judgemnt/trial who records everything that is said. It could be mentioned in the text that Anon's answers are so long-winded and rambling at times that sections of his dialogue have been skipped over, but were kept on record and have been included for the reader in the appendix. Just an idea, let me know what you think.

>>9068728
we must make sure we use some of the tundra names and characters, if at all possible.

at least the words like - shilluminati, semen-schlocker, etc are revisit-worthy.

also, when do the real writing start? i'd like to submit my "Dolan Grump" writings.

>>9069509
Nice anon. added a name suggestion + other stuff

To the one that wanted to overlay the Pepe image over the original painting: whoever drew it originally did not trace the painting, so it's basically impossible to do without severely warping both images.

>>9070058
Hmm...

The background for the original isnt overly complex

we could possibly replicate somehow? Or use something similar?

>>9070094
Somebody would be better off re-tracing it completely. The original background is just an age-worn black with some white in an area that's cut off anyway.

What I mean.

>>9070104
>>9070132

It looks like it would be sick overlaid,

but yeah, it would have to be redrawn completely for it to work


I guess we have to options:

redraw and overlay it

or just make our own version of the painting

>>9070327
Somebody should just contact an artist on /ic/ or /a/ or something, give them both images, explain the issue, and pay them like $20 to do a shitty redrawing and colouring for us, and just include their name in the book.

>>9070327
Sonebody said they wanted to see lenticular printing. An overlay might work, but if we can get the funds it might be cool to have a lenticular cover, with the original (if we can legally use it) as the primary image, and the pepe and wojak as the other.

>>9070427
>>9070478

The first question is how close to the original painting can we legally go?

Could determine which rout we take

Thinking of adding a space to contribute names for the "author", or to discuss how we might otherwise go about represting authorship

Also it took a surprisingly long time to change all the 'da's back to 'the'

>>9070564
The original is in the public domain, unless I'm mistaken. We can do whatever we want with it.

>>9070649
It's old enough to be public domain, yes, but I believe the museum holding it may have some legal rights over it.

It may be as simple as contacting them during the publication stage. If it's never going to be printed, and will only be an eBook, then yes we can do whatever we want.

>>9070688
Can't find any direct info on that painting concerning copyright or anything.
It's currently at the Museo del Prado in Madrid.
Tried to navigate their website which appears to be in English as well, but I'm on a phone so it fucked up.
Searched in copyright databases and shit, but found nothing, probably because it's not from my freedomland.

We inflate the page-count by expressing Stirner's reaction to what the protagonist says by an image rather than a description. This will also give the chapter it's own style.

It would be nice if we can think of creative things that make each chapter unique.

thank you anon

>>9065364
Are we going to use Plato dialogue?

(I.e. Anon stands before the pantheon, there are x participants in the scene ect.ect.)

I mean, the intermission story you're writing right now, is, well, meant for right now. It won't have any weight or meaning even after 6 months. And there is no way you can close this up. That's what i meant with end game.

>>9065364
will there be an introduction to this work?

The second half of TLoTiaT is bad.

>>9072290
We can have Diogenes spoof it. As in, he interjects to what the protagonist is saying by questioning it with another god. The other god gives a very short 'yes' response almost every time.
>>9073014
We don't want weight or meaning. you damn sentimentalist. It's a meme book.

>>9073349
Your moms cooking is a meme.

Are we using: "Only one enemy remained, two if you counted God" in the book? Fits the premise.

>>9073550
I would hope so.

>>9067451
yeah a female god
what a modern liberal concept

>>9073018
Definitely an option. A prologue could help establish the premise and tone. Or we could simply jump straight into the 'story'. This will probably be one of the later things that gets decided

>>9072290
>>9073349

Another anon brought up the idea of every chapter having its own style in some way. Having Diogenes spoofing Plato dialogue during his chapter is a great idea. I'll at it to the doc soon if no one has.

>>9073550
Nice, im sure it would fit perfectly somewhere

>>9074330
>Another anon brought up the idea of every chapter having its own style in some way.
That was me. For some reason I'm providing like half of all ideas to this project despite having little time to write anything major.

>>9074337
It is much appreciated anon. Ideas can take longer than writing in a lot of cases, so anyone who can produce them at a high rate is very valuable.

That king crimson discography review just finished me off. You people are amazing. I feel ashamed being here with you, i am not worthy of your presence.

The DFW chapter could be broken up into different named sections like Infinite Jest's years, but then written in chronological order anyway.
This would be one way to mirror Protags misunderstanding/misrepresenting nature. Just using the format without thought, but still appearing clever. Assuming that is how he will be written.

Small update regarding the next stage of writing:

Im putting together a seperate doc for the Stirner chapter. Once this is up, all discussion for this chapter will move to this doc. The writing will be as collaborative as it needs to be.

Basically, once we have the basic plot, style and theme of chapter agreed upon, anons can submit as much written content as they want (be it a paragraph or 10 pages). Once it looks like there is enough writing, we can combine the submissions together with the minimum amount of extra words/context required to create something somewhat coherent.

If this works for the stirner chapter, we can try doing the other chapters the same way. We will probably put a limit on the amount of chapters we work on simultaneously, as each will require its own google doc.

Also, thank you to whoever changed the o's back. It was crashing my tab every time I tried.

>>9076216
It took literally 20 minutes to change the o's back

>>9076241
with 3 attempts

Also tomorrow we will try to finalize some of the details for the Stirner god, such as the name and characteristics etc, so get your suggestions on the doc if you want them to be considered

>>9076216

Find and replace exists, you know.

I dunno but I have a feeling its the same autismo as usual. Anyway I reset the doc to its state half an hour ago. Apologies if anyone added anything since then

>>9078553
Im open to anything that helps organise it, but as far as I could tell all you did was remove the headings?

>>9078561
I was changing headings so it's easier to find specific sections.

I will continue now, do not stop me... or else...

>>9078564
Ah, as you were then anon. It is appreciated.

The doc will hopefully simplify a little as we start to narrow in on specific chapters.

**Reminder to all that the Stirner-chapter doc is coming this afternoon**

Stirner Chapter Doc is up!

https://docs.google.com/document/d/18qUc-Q9RwgUnfu30W2mfa3FxosUMkSE0PVKKXBqrz1I/edit?usp=sharing

The entire Stirner section of the planning Doc has moved here^^^^^

You can also find this link where the Stirner section used to be

We are going to be finalizing all the details for the chapter. As soon as this is done the actual WRITING can commence (see this post: >>9076216 for further explanation).

So if you have any final ideas to submit for this chapter, get them in NOW.

We will start with the name (pic related). Either in this thread or in the new Stirner doc, make your choice for the gods name known.

>>9078904
Also, depending on how well this goes, the next chapter that's gets its own doc will be the DFW god

>>9078904
Let's say that i have 0 knowledge about Stirner and his works. Basically, as an inexperienced reader, will this chapter cover the basics and give me an idea about him?

>>9079267
>will this chapter cover the basics and give me an idea about him?

Potentially, in a meme-filtered kind of way most likely. At the very least you would get a basic idea of how /lit/ interprets his work

>>9078904
If he was called Ego, that could work interestingly with the question "is the ego a spook?", and also work with the idea the other anon had about using the 5 different sketches to show his reactions.

Anon would answer with yes, the ego is a spook, then sketch of Stirner would say something like 'noooo' and slowly fade out and disappear. Or not say anything, but you get the idea

>>9074330
I'm the Anon who had the premise and also wrote in the backstory a bit.

I'd be more than happy to write a short introduction about how Nietzsche killed God with the other writers.

>>9080104
Sounds good anon.

I've split the "How does the story arrive at its beginning?" section up (in Section Three of the planning doc), so that there is now a two fields, one specifically for the Prologue/introduction and one for the beginning of the main story, presumably where chapter one would begin.

Feel free to add your ideas/writing in the new field as you see fit. We can assume for now, unless anyone objects, that this will be the official plot for the Prologue/introduction.

Get in and vote!

>>9079957

This is an interesting idea in favor of 'Ego'

>>9080432
Watashi is a formal first-person 'pronoun' in nip. It would lend amazingly to first-person dialogue.

Are appendix submissions going to be limited or will everything be included as long as it is loosely related to the greater theme?

>>9080481
I agree with this 100%

>>9080539
We'll aim to have everything included, unless there ends up being some suepermassive amount, which is unlikely.

Anything totally unrelated and/or exceptionally vulgar may not be automatically guaranteed though.

>>9080481

I've already added it in, but we seriously need a God of Verse, that is also gay, edgy, wicked sense of humor and mentally ill. And I suggest no other than the boipucci itself -- RIMBAUD

>>9078904
>>9080432

Votes are in, and the winner by a clear enough margin is... Watashi!

I think its a good name, particularly if we make him an low-key anime fan like a few anons suggested.

Also, since we are most likely using the 5 sketches idea, we could have him say something along the lines of 2d being superior to 3d, and that the third dimension is a spook. Just an idea.

Either way, I'll try to clean up the chapter doc so that his characteristics are somewhat defined and coherent.

The next matter to decide will be the question he asks anon and how anon answer. Get any final submissions in for this cause there will be a Strawpoll up soon.

Sounds like we could also draw on inspiration from pic related? lol

The original was mostly black, and just aged to be kind of grey. I tried to add a light source, but I can't manipulate it enough for it to look like it's hitting actual objects.
>>9083216
We also need a stirner [kawaii] and stirner [embarrassed] then.

>>9081742
Also, because it's black-line art, and really low-res, the exterior black lines are drawn into the background to avoid there being an awkward artifact thing going on. I might attempt to texture the entire image, but that's going to be hard work so it'll have to wait.

Might seem like a small milestone but, we essentially have our first fleshed out character.

I did my best to combine everyone's suggestions into one coherent set of characteristics, and pic related is the end result (this is how it now appears in the document).

Think about what this character might pose to anon as their chosen question of ultimate final judgement etc. and add it to the list in the Stirner doc:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/18qUc-Q9RwgUnfu30W2mfa3FxosUMkSE0PVKKXBqrz1I/edit#
(Strawpoll coming for this soon)

Also next god to be finalised is DFW, the possibly the kek god, (we'll see)

>>9084825
Anything that matches someone with the characteristics in pic related I guess

>>9085053
*then possibly the kek god

>>9085053
Maybe Hitagi Senjougahara
Maybe Rin Tohsaka
Both smart and biting, but they aren't titty monsters. Having a hard time finding smart, tsundere characters with big boobs, most seem to be petite, or at least average. Maybe because tsundere characters tend to be insecure, and huge rocking titties don't often go along with that.

>>9065364
Why not including a god that speaks like a Trump twitter rant? Flowing with the zeitgeist, very nice!

>>9085191
I think it would be interesting to show some other people's interactions with the gods, like Trump.
I don't know if this would take place in a main chapter or not, but it could just be a paragraph every one in a while describing some situation.

You're deciding on the name after 6 votes? How long were you planning on keeping the votes open.

>>9085737
The vote was open for more than 12 hours, I would have preferred a whole day so everyone around the globe might have had a chance but its hardly a short time I think

>>9085191
I like it. I'll make a note of it somewhere. At the very least one of the gods/Anon should talk like that at some point.

>>9085235
Having trump be somehow present in the story is an interesting idea that other anons have mentioned. I personally dont think it should come off as being blatantly pro or anti trump but we'll see what gets written.

>>9085737
>How long were you planning on keeping the votes open

Until a winner emerged, essentially.

Under certain circumstance I could have kept it up longer, but sometimes you have to build on the momentum when you are fortunate enough to have it. The name "Watashi" was voted to the top quickly, and it conveniently tied together a number of aspects of the character. When something like that seems to form on its own during the writing process it's good to take advantage of it. It stops the writing from getting stagnated and helps give it an 'organic' feel.

>>9085761
>I would have preferred a whole day so everyone around the globe might have had a chance

This is probably true though

>>9085191
I think that could be good.

Are pasta encouraged or just oc?
If the first, include this /tv/ pasta:


>start thinking about Daisy's body
>realize that Daisy has partially digested food in her stomach and intestines right now, moving toward her anus
>realize Daisy has chunks of shit strewn throughout her digestive tract waiting for an opportune moment to be ejected
>imagine Daisy partially dissassembling her perfectly composed outfit to take a shit, breaking the illusion of angelic perfection out of necessity
>imagine Daisy's perineum and the area around her anus bulging as a log of shit enters her colon
>imagine it passing out unevenly and smearing her outer sphincter with a streak of feces, an imperfect turd from a flawed creature
>imaging the sputtering of trapped gas and partially liquified shit that follows
>imagine the hairs growing in Daisy's armpits
>imagine tiny beads of sweat seeping from her innumerable pores
>imagine an elongated bead of salty, milky sweat squeezing through a pore, sticking to a nearby hair, and snaking around until it reaches the tip, where it evaporates into the air moisture to be inhaled by some stranger
>imagine the fine buildup of surface oil and sweat under her petite breasts
>imagine it rolling into little black balls of epithelial detritus as she moves, impercepible to the naked eye even if someone were looking

Strawpoll for Stirner-god's question to Anon is up:

https://strawpoll.com/bcg8r3e

This question will play a large part in determining the tone of the chapter, so it's quite important.

And remember, this question is one of only 7 questions that determine whether someone gets into the 'good' afterlife. It should be something that an ordinary person would not be able to answer or guess.

>>9082882
>RIMBAUD
Name him RIMJAUB and you have yourself a deal

Also known as; Jim Baub

>>9086039
I don't think we should include pasta from other boards unless it's significantly changed.

>>9083580
She (male) should be a Dom

>>9083580
>>9087751

Actually, she should be a male and female (womb and testes)(cyborg)(that Stirner made?)(maybe she should be a dom and sub, and when it bothers Stirner he can always say "go fuck yourself" and it reacts depending on if it is in Dom or Sub mood mode

>>9085235
at the very least, a cameo: like when entering one of the gods chambers, Trump is giving a meeting, about immigration, and maybe a wall surrounding the base of mount olympus (or one one side of the river Styx), maybe Midus is one of his associates

>>9087405
>It should be something that an ordinary person would not be able to answer or guess.

Why would, not ordinary people be going to the 'good; afterlife?

And, why is Stirner presiding over this?

I guess this also begs, what does the 'good' afterlife entail?

>>9087856
>what does the 'good' afterlife entail
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAxARJyaTEA

>>9087856
>Why would, not ordinary people be going to the 'good; afterlife?

We are assuming that the pantheon have made their trial arbitrarily hard, with no intention of letting anyone into the good afterlife at all. Either the pantheon aren't necessarily 'good guys' or they are so powerful that humanity is completely trivial to them are they are essentially just fucking with us for their own amusement.

>And, why is Stirner presiding over this?

Not Stirner, but a powerful god who just seems to resemble Stirner in some way. You have to remember that the story is taking place inside a /lit/-inspired universe. Think of the "its magic, i aint gotta explain shit" may-may.

>I guess this also begs, what does the 'good' afterlife entail?

This is currently undecided, so any suggestions for what the 'good' afterlife entails and what the bad one might, or if there is even a good/bad, heaven/hell dichotomy type thing at all, are very welcome. If you have any just post 'em here or in the "How does the story end?" section of the planning doc.

>>9087937
>r if there is even a good/bad, heaven/hell dichotomy type thing at all, are very welcome. If you have any just post 'em here or in the "How does the story end?"

I saw on maybe the other thread, about Nietzshe maybe being involved, one of the gods, as in Nietzshe killed god, assumed his place. Perhaps the hidden agenda of Anon, is to defeat the new god Nietshe, and assume power on the Pantheon (pretty much, /lit/ thinking it is so e/lit/e and haughty and critical, know it all and know it better, that the essence of the story is, /lit/ coming into all powerful worldly power, and organizing the world as it sees fit (though I presume, the serious of this will be backed away from, with endless ironies, penis jokes, and mayms.

(also, I have been writing something of a monologue, that may be able to fit towards the end, just poetic ramblings, it could be something all anons can add to, make better (hopefully no worse), and I figure it would be like a wrapping up 'no matter what the gods say, this is what I have learned about myself and the world, on this journey, etc.' and maybe after the reciting of this, the gods are impressed (cliche) and let anon in.

>>9088117
>>9087937
I expanded on a short summary of this idea a little better, I will type it up later.

>>9088117
>>9088301

I remember what you are talking about. I believe the basic idea was that Nietzsche killed the one omnipotent God (the christian God with a capital G) which allowed the current pantheon to take charge, or perhaps they were purposefully ushered in by Nietzsche.

>Perhaps the hidden agenda of Anon, is to defeat the new god Nietshe, and assume power on the Pantheon

The idea of what happens after Anon 'defeats' the pantheon by answering all of their questions correctly has been briefly talked about. Having Nietzsche as the ultimate 'end boss' who shows up after the pantheon seems like a cool idea. He could engage Anon in one last battle of knowledge/wit, and Anon could stump him by pointing out that God never died, as Nietzsche merely assumed his role.

Nietzsche could then fade into oblivion or otherwise surrender his power, and Anon could be given the option of bringing God back, but instead chooses to assume the role of God himself, which is basically your idea of "/lit/ coming into all powerful worldly power, and organizing the world as it sees fit", which I personally like a lot.

If this gets fleshed out we could potentially already have our beginning and ending concept already. I believe there was another anon, unless that was you, who is already working on a similar premise for the prologue.

>>9088374
>I believe there was another anon, unless that was you, who is already working on a similar premise for the prologue.

Nice, not me, but hopefully our powers can be combined.

The idea I said I would type up is better than the 'nietzshe final boss', I think, I was just spitballing from I guess I saw that possibility mentioned, though nietzhe can still be in it. And as short as my idea might be, its late here so I may just type it tomorrow.

Are any of the main folks involved of this, you/yall have a group project email (throwaway) address floating around?

>>9089919
>Are any of the main folks involved of this, you/yall have a group project email (throwaway) address floating around?

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm using [email protected] as a throwaway. If you wanna send anything there that's cool.

Also feel free to add whatever you write to the doc when its ready. I'll make sure it doesn't get deleted (as a general policy nothing that is going to be used or potentially get used gets deleted).

The way it works for writing is basically if you're the first person to actually write something for a section, or at least part of it, it's pretty much guaranteed to be used. Any contributions for that section that come after will ideally use whatever you wrote as a starting point, so it can all be fits together reasonably cohesively.

Just a reminder to VOTE on the latest Stawpoll if you haven't already. It'll be closing roughly 24h after it opened.

>>9090012
For the whole text? Its hard to say. Judging by how many people I've seen in the doc and how many unique posters there have been in the threads, I'd say quite a few.

For the Stirner chapter? It looks like there's somewhere between 10 and 15 people actively contributing, be it small suggestions, larger contributions, or even just voting.

I've considered shilling the project, especially the strawpolls, in other threads but I have a feeling that might open the door to more griefing of the google doc. It could be an option later on but I don't feel there's a need to for it at this point. We seem to be moving along at a nice pace so far.

Watashi (the Stirner god) will ask anon, as his final ultimate judgement question etc, "Is the ego a spook?"

Personally, I like it. It opens up the chapter to basically anything. I would say though, that Anon's answer should probabbly be more than a mere 'yes' or 'no', but at least go some way to explaining why it is either a yes or a no.

I would already lean towards 'yes' as his answer, as it would 'defeat' Watashi even further, possibly even causing him to fade out of existence as I believe another anon suggested. But this is completely open to discussion.

4KB, 220x229px

Moving forward, there are two matters to be discussed:

1. The next chapter

The decision process for the Stirner chapter seemed to work quite well. Unless anyone objects, we will move through the next chapter, which will be the David Foster Wallace chapter, in basically the same fashion.

2. The actual writing of the Stirner/Watashi chapter

We have two options here. We can keep the Stirner doc open and complete the writing there, or move the finalised info back to the main doc, and have the writing take place there. The main reason for the latter option would be to avoid having too many docs running at once. Basically, we are deciding whether we wanna have a more chaotic/cluttered main doc, or simply operate with many simultaneous docs. Any input here would be greatly appreciated.

>>9092526
Its silly, in my opinion, as the whole point of Stirner is the only thing that is not a spook is the ego.

>>9094102
Anon could also potentially answer 'no, the ego is not a spook'. I'm just not sure if it would be as interesting/potentially humorous, but if someone could make it work then all the better

I'd like to see anon immediately answer and then try to change his answer, without realizing he wants some kind of explanation or story. Something like
>Is the ego a spook?
>anon thought about this
>Yes!
>>9071724
>oh fuck, uh, noooo?
>>9071733

I think I've come up with a good way to handle all the docs and the writing of all the chapters.

The doc that is currently the Stirner chapter doc will simply become the 'writing' doc for the main sections. So all in all there will be three docs, one for the interludes and appendices, one for the planning of the main chapters, and one for the writing of the main chapters.

Each chapter will eventually move over to the writing doc as the details become finalised, just like the Stirner chapter already has (the next will be the DFW chapter).

Anyone can contribute however much they want to the writing of the main chapters, as long as they adhere to the basic details, like the name of the god for that chapter and the question they ask anon, etc. Once all the writing is done (which can take any amount of time, there is no urgency) we can curate it and organise it into something that resembles chapters with a basic narrative structure.

I'll relaunch the Stirner doc as just the 'writing doc' some time today, and the next thread will begin with all three in the OP.
