This is it, we're at the end. Parts 1-5 are pretty much completed, if you want to add more stuff put it in the dump doc. We're writing the final chapter, which covers the death orgy, the return of Trump and the royal gala, and anything else you want to throw in there.

PARTS 1-5:

a critical intro? why?
>>
>>7376213
Kolsti wrote one.

It can be satirical, funny or anything really. It would at least serve the function of cluing in a non-4chan audience on what the book is about, some of the absurdist/comedic elements, the function of anonymity - all obviously done in a lighthearted fashion but not ignoring the minimal semblance of thought that has gone into this thing.

>tfw want to write, but feel hungover from booze and toilet seat cocaine
>>
>>7376502
well, what is Hypersphere about?
>>
>>7376596

PRETENTIOUS ALERT:
For me, it's the metaphor that all of the possible meaning and beauty we see in our own universe could have been created arbitrarily, by nonsensical and random factors which have no recognisable pattern or coercive chain of thought, ie: the new atheist ideal of natural and blind phenomena causing life. Any attempt to find meaning in the Hypersphere, mimics the absurdist problem of our own world: that there is no clear elucidation on any theme or point as an absolute - rather, just a sentimental reaction to observable phenomena which, at it's core, might (and is implied in the book to) not exist or hold significance. At another level, it's a comedic commentary on internet and capitalist pop-culture, with a focus on the ridiculous alienation that society brings, and a further sense of "meaningless" we seem to be stuck with today and our further inability to descramble the ever-growing and competing narratives of what is right or true. Perhaps even, there is a deeper message of the ability to defy that prognosis on the illogical - the silly and inane shitposting that embraces the arbitrary element of the hyperspherical universe and instead celebrates the "meaningless" as "meaningful", refuses non-existence on a delusional and emotional basis.

Sorry for the totally shit highschool tier analysis

>>7376502
Kolsti didn't write a critical intro to TLOTIAT: Kolsti's Adventures in the Everglades. Completely different. Kolsti just wrote a chapter.

FINAL CHAPTER OUTLINE:
>Trump gets in with the executives
with the Figurants, you mean? Executives serve the ayy lmao

Yeah, that sounds good. Death orgy could look like
1 - Coliseum, balls-out everything and the kitchen sink weirdness
2 - Trump returns (interlude?), reveal of his plot
3 - Aliens arrive, battle, everything turns to shit

and then on to the puerile gala.

Good question about the ayy lmao. IIRC the basics of it is, they want to shape the world according to their manifesto at the beginning of part 3.

The executives serve them, founding the Black Ayyster Cult to bring existing conspiracies into the fold (such as the entertainment industry, eg Ben bin Al-Afleck). The aliens get ahold of records about the tenth room, sold to them by the Space-Jews (presumably info on how to create rooms/worlds, I guess info about how the Ants do their thing). They use this to develop methods of manipulating reality so they can reshape it. However, they need time to perfect the method, but they only have this window of time to do it (while the Puerile King is away from hyperspace, where they reside, and not a threat to them since he stopped devouring).

So the executives launch Hypervision and use some sort of first room feedback loop to trap all the viewers in a Groundhog Day-style loop, giving the aliens all the time in the world. They also get governments around the world to ease up on wojamba prohibition, which lets the Space-Jews sell it around the universe. This basically puts the world(s) in a state of sedition, locked in front of Hypervision and vulnerable to manipulation via broadcast propaganda. Some real tinfoil shit, this story.

The opening of the tenth room and their understanding its nature so some extent allows them to enter the hypersphere for the first time (remember, originally it was said going through all the rooms was the path from hypersphere to hyperspace). So now they can enter the scene with their full might, where previously they had to act through the executives/Cult via messages and visions. Other motivations: to consolidate control of the 10th room, since it might be a shortcut for them to use their technology on an existing 10th room instead of creating one -- and to take over the room because the people in the hypersphere are the most likely to stop him (especially if the netherrealm and the Puerile King is in there, perhaps they see this as their chance to eliminate their biggest threat).

Fucking hell

The Death-Orgy is all those people who can't get into the tenth room, right? Or am I reading this wrong?

The Death Orgy is the tenth room, and I think it's absorbing the other rooms or at least all of the people in them. In any case, everyone in the Hypersphere (people who have died/travelled to the rooms) is there, and I think everyone else (first room denizens) are eventually gonna be sucked in there.

Right.

The OP cover is more than reminicient of schlocky 70s stuff like Illuminatus!. To be honest. It's good work but most people would not want that on their shelf and honestly isn't a semi-serious vibe the more appropriate thing to be going for baiting with here?

>>
>>7383864
yeah, Mountain Dew thing is good. but the JET thing, while fun, is so disengaged from the present action (and doesn't really touch on the royal gala), it's a weird turn to end on.

by the way, all of the characters in the JET besides Emma and Trump are dead or from the past (DFW and Pubescent King/younger Puerile). so it could be some sort of purgatory. maybe they're forming a new world unawares (hence why it would be seen in the tenth room, which is just creation)

isn't ending with a meme the whole point? it also gives us a vague connection to the Tundra universe, suggesting that the hypersphere contains the fictional universe as well

There's a gajillion such points already made in the story. It's not the take home point.

Also: this isn't Tundra, written by some of the same people and Tundra exists inside of the hypersphere but it's another thing.

I will keep the document open until the end of Thanksgiving break (for people in serious want of editing their chapters, and so I can catch up. I've been balancing several projects lately.)

Consent on a cover, maybe an ending. Feel free to add more.

Thanks for all the fun, everyone. Goodnight, humanity.

There are a handful of unused Kolsti covers since they went with the NYRB version. You can change the words or just add Hypersphere in big ironically ugly letters all over it. I'll go dig up another one. Or if you put this score the section in chapter 5 starring Kolsti it'll work. I just think if we're gonna make this a picture book we might as well get some use out of the covers we've made.

that's six covers. you can use five of them for the five parts of the book, and one for the cover. we have a couple more to spare, plus a back cover, and we can make more if we want something else.
>>
>>7385623
What about putting >>7385606 on the page before the Kolsti section of chapter 5?
>>
>>7385621
They just published the Kolsti book and it's the best Tundra so far, so he'll live on in that respect at the very least.
>>
I vote for removing all but the top review.
>>
>>7385625
no. the occasional TLOTIAT reference is fair, it was the first lit book. a full page taken up by the title of some spinoff is too much.

really... just stop pushing this guy. he has a few shoutouts and a whole chapter from his POV. that's enough.
>>
>>7385626
No, #1 was the best tundra
>>
>>7385628
I wrote the 9/10 one. I like the others, especially the last one.

Also we need to fix the Pound quote if it hasn't been fixed already. I accidentally fucked it up. The formatting is all retarded.

It's a great end quote, though.

Oh yeah, what about that John Madden story. Move it up or leave it as is?
>>
>>7385665
Move it up pre-orgy. Part 3 or 4
>>
>>7385671
Correction, late Part 5
>>
>>7385679
If someone else doesn't, I'll move it after class.

There's still a shit ton more room for a ton of more shit, especially about the Gala. It'd be great to have the Gala from other character's perspectives.
>>
>>7385687
I already wrote most of the gala and would feel bad if I added much more.

Ey yo, who the fuck changed the "is this it?" Footnote?

It was really good before.
>>
>>7385732
What was it like before?
>>
>>7385704
I'm trying to work out Trump's big monologue in his interlude reveal. Then I'll add a few of my favourite characters into the gala, like Mypecuther's foreskin.
>>
>>7385748
It's just the first "is this it?", then this life monologue, a police shootout in Mexico and then it ends with an Ezra Pound quote.
>>
>>7385771
It didn't have this part, right? "all the time worrying, fading, dumb, sleeping a higher dream; born, you cry -"
>>
>>7385790
No that was what I wrote, and then below, originally, there's the Ezra Pound quotation.

Me and Bottleman tried to suss out how to end it, so it's rough.
>>
>>7385794
Starting a book with "Tryone says his wojamba supplier ain't treating him right" and ending on Ezra Pound is an insane progression.
>>
wow this is something
>>
Edited version. Cut down on the "Is this it" repetitions while trying to hit a rhythm with them, got rid of all the hyphens between words so as not to confuse with the hyphens separating each segment.

("Is this it?" Footnote>) You cry, "Is this it?", wordless - breast milk, pram strolls in Central Park, googooing - dumdums, educational television, classical music, "Is this it?" - schooling, possible autism, teachers - friends, Nick from gym class who can do the funny bone trick, Fat Tim, sunlit English lessons - grades, parent’s divorce, second house, Dad’s weird hobby - "Is this it?" - Mom’s next boyfriend, healthy dinners, high school - Nick gets hit by a car, new friends - pubic hair, Jane, Sort of Fat Tim, videogames - Mom’s next husband, videogames, grades, Jane - recreational drug use, WASP guilt, grades, college plans, waitering, first girlfriend (not Jane) - shit tips, grades, Jane (!) - not quite Ivy league but that’s fine son, Dad’s heart scare, smoking habits - "Is this it?", Slim Tim gets hit by a car, engineering course, cheap beer, subscription to your first newspaper - Mom’s next divorce, post-menstrual anorexia, grades, cheap beer - graduation, Jane, company internship - Dad gets hit by a car, funeral, promotion - new house, different barber, kids - Fat Jane, more kids, second mortgage, doctors appointments - suspicion of mild autism in second child, promotion, more kids - autism unverified, taking up Dad’s weird hobby, walking around on a Sunday looking for shoeshops and coffee - promotion, "Is this it?", Really Fat Jane, school tests for kids - drinking habit, demotion, game shows - divorce, kids taken, Fat Fucking Bitch Jane gets hit by your car, "Is this it?", hideout in Mexico bought with laundered company money, picture of your kids, Mom dies somewhere in between here but you don’t find out, police chase - shootout, scared, prayer to God, bullet - bleeding out, numbing, wondering when it ends - Is this it?

>>7385797
Sure, but the quote really spells out the meaning of the "Is this it?" part. Coming right on the heels of that, and ending the book with it sort of screams an interpretation of the story. Plus it's tonally very out of step with the chapter and story in general, being really wistful and forlorn. The melancholy of "Is this it?" fits because it's a lone note of sadness counterweighting the glib ending (Mountain Dew/CYOA + reviews). The Pound quote doesn't mix with the excerpt so that it adds to or blends with that effect.
>>
>>7385790
Yeah it had that, and it was really fucking good. Now it's shorter.
Fix plz.
>>
>>7385859
I wrote the original.

Fantastic edit anon, thank you. I think you're right about the Ezra quotation, it's too flowery to end on it - but I would still like to see it somewhere, I think one anon suggested having it before the Death Orgy cave intro.

This.

I think the box should go around "fucking gay, horrible. 9/10" and then have the other reviews and "is this it?" below it, outside of the box.
>>
JESUS CHRIST
>>
>>7386179
The premise is that the box is where you write your reviews, though. What makes the other reviews different from the first one?
>>
>>7386024
Mountain Dew/CYOA, then reviews + Is this it footnote (original or cut version), with the Pound quote at the beginning of Death Orgy.
>>
Okay, I dunno if this is happening to everyone, but that Pound quote (which I like, but I think it should be near the beginning, maybe even inserted in a different chapter) keeps fucking up the formatting. There's something about the font or whatever that google docs doesn't like.

I suggest we delete it and type it out where we want it.

You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can hack into your files in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in hacking, but I have access to the entire arsenal of every piece of malware ever created and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the world wide web, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking fingers. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit code all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

>>
>>7388263
>plothole
uw0tm8e
>>
>>7388668
Oh, I mean more like a loose-end. Let me post the original chapter outline for the plot posted in the last thread:

Trump gets in with the executives
with the Figurants, you mean? Executives serve the ayy lmao

Yeah, that sounds good. Death orgy could look like
1 - Coliseum, balls-out everything and the kitchen sink weirdness
2 - Trump returns (interlude?), reveal of his plot
3 - Aliens arrive, battle, everything turns to shit

and then on to the puerile gala.

Good question about the ayy lmao. IIRC the basics of it is, they want to shape the world according to their manifesto at the beginning of part 3.

The executives serve them, founding the Black Ayyster Cult to bring existing conspiracies into the fold (such as the entertainment industry, eg Ben bin Al-Afleck). The aliens get ahold of records about the tenth room, sold to them by the Space-Jews (presumably info on how to create rooms/worlds, I guess info about how the Ants do their thing). They use this to develop methods of manipulating reality so they can reshape it. However, they need time to perfect the method, but they only have this window of time to do it (while the Puerile King is away from hyperspace, where they reside, and not a threat to them since he stopped devouring).

So the executives launch Hypervision and use some sort of first room feedback loop to trap all the viewers in a Groundhog Day-style loop, giving the aliens all the time in the world. They also get governments around the world to ease up on wojamba prohibition, which lets the Space-Jews sell it around the universe. This basically puts the world(s) in a state of sedition, locked in front of Hypervision and vulnerable to manipulation via broadcast propaganda. Some real tinfoil shit, this story.

The opening of the tenth room and their understanding its nature so some extent allows them to enter the hypersphere for the first time (remember, originally it was said going through all the rooms was the path from hypersphere to hyperspace). So now they can enter the scene with their full might, where previously they had to act through the executives/Cult via messages and visions. Other motivations: to consolidate control of the 10th room, since it might be a shortcut for them to use their technology on an existing 10th room instead of creating one -- and to take over the room because the people in the hypersphere are the most likely to stop him (especially if the netherrealm and the Puerile King is in there, perhaps they see this as their chance to eliminate their biggest threat).

----

I don't think anyone's wrapped it up, despite it being a sizable plot point, and I could integrate it into my Trump piece -- unless someone else also wants to have a go at it?
>>
One of my comments from the editing phase was left as a footnote on the edited story (the Kafka thing at the end of part 1 that was almost the ending). Looks retarded, delete it
>>
I think it really really works as is. The gala could be fleshed out, a Johannes mention maybe? But wrapping it up *too* much kind of detracts from mountain dew and choose your own ending.

I would caution against adding more stuff to the chapter which is your own OC character - rather, just add in small references to past characters, and if you weren't in the project until recently, then just read the book and choose your favourites, we've got some good stuff.

Scrolling through the Parts 1-5 doc, noticed a couple of things...

1. Lots of corrections/suggestions that haven't gone through (cuts/changes/proofreading). Is that an error or have the suggestions not been "activated" yet?

2. There's a Arabic/Persian passage at the end of Part 1. What does it mean? Google Translate does fuck all.
>>
Oh, and a question: do you guys want to do a table of contents? And if so, what kind? Suggestions:

1. Full table of contents at the top of the book (Parts and chapters).

2. ToC at the top of the book, only lists each Part.

3. ToC at the top listing Parts, then individual ToCs at the top of each part listing chapters.

It's mentioned in her wrap up in the orgy, ableit shortly. She decides she's finally wishes to be man, a french man starts spouting "Oo lala!" throughout; and then she/it/he uses her/it's/his dick to hit a group of children and decides says, "call me mentally ill" at the end.

Pretty edgy I suppose but he/she is a cunt.

Oh shit, I have one more thing, but it's short (wraps up Ben Skeleton and moves Bignose/Tyrone into Death Orgy). Is it okay if I put it in the finale doc to move up later?
>>
>>7397416
>>7397425
Thank you! Fanshen could be killed by Memaw or saved by Dawkins/Jefferson, he'd pop up at the royal gala if anywhere.
>>
>>7397512
Hmm. Is it possible to fuse it with the Bignose happening in the DO? If not, You could, of course, make a doc and tell me where you'd like it inserted.

>>7397525
It's only lewd if you post pics. :^)
>>
>>7397520
It's written as a kind of setup for the endgame. Can't I just put it in the DO doc and then it gets moved from there? I'll finish it in a bit.
>>
>>7397539
I'll keep a wary eye out.
>>
>>7397539
Maybe just post it here (or in the next thread, which I assume will be the last one before this is done) and tell us where it should go.

shit, I think I wrote "before Detective story" for placement, should be after. Well after

Adjusting.

300 limit.
>>
>>7397904
Also, slightly curious. Why not link the other Ben Skeleton excerpts with? I knew I recognized the storyline. I mean, it's totally fine to leave it as is, but it misled me slightly as repetitive.

Or I'm just plain stupid, since I was a bit impatient and skipped reading.
>>
GET THAT COVER DONE
>>
>>7397982
You mean string them together as one story? It'd be overlong and, as you say, repetetive, it's written as a little adventure serial, a light way to progress the story

By the way, sorry to be overbearing, but I really think it should come much later in Part 5, almost at the end. The point of it is to provide some sort of closure to the concept of travelling through the rooms and to launch the reader into the Death Orgy. Right now it's sort of crammed in after the detective story doing nothing for the pacing, and Part 5 ends with several excerpts in a row that don't connect with the finale, so Part 5 sort of trails off and then randomly cuts to Death Orgy (an abrupt shift, you noted in the Pound note). I'm sorry to be a bother, but could it be moved down to after the Japan/samurai tale? I should've picked a specific point from the start, I thought more people were going to add to the end of Part 5 so I didn't want to call dibs on that whole stretch.
>>
Alright, I'm gonna write a Table of Contents and split it up Part by Part. Format:

>Table of Contents
>Part #
>ch. #, "Title"

aka I'm going to focus on dividing the book into chapters and then everyone can fill in titles.
>>
>>7399009
could you also do:
>>7397419
>>
>>7399009
And I'm gonna hold off on putting down page numbers in case we're going to do a final round of editing to fix the spacing between stories/chapters.
>>7399014
I'll leave that to whoever had the idea! I'm just going to divvy up the book into a list of chapters and then drop it in a doc for you guys to make up chapter titles and meta antics.
>>
>>7399005
Well argued, do you have a certain preferred location (after a certain story) for me to drop off the Ben Skeleton excerpt? But I will look for a more convenient place myself.
>>
>>7399019
Thanks anon - we're nearly done!

I don't care how this book turns out, it's been so much fun writing it with you guys.
>>
>>7399155
My preference is after the Japan/samurai story, but between the "Jesus, what m'I doing" bit and the Alabaster the wizard story works as well.
>>
>>7399172
Done.
>>
>>7397416
i wrote a little section in the cave death orgy where people were thinking various things and one of those characters is meant to be Fanshen
>>
>>7399009
I don't think we should have chapter titles aside from the big titles like slice of life adventures
>>
>>7399219
Agreeing with this, the loose structure of the book has it standing apart for TLOIAT in a good, unique way. The table of contents can invent chapter names, but don't insert them into the book, just have them in the table.
>>
>>7399244
>>7399219
I vote no on an index, there's the recap of the story (storey) so far in part 2 or 3.
>>
>>7399264
What about a critical introduction to the material?
>>
>>7399219
I think in that case, the best option is to drop the table of contents altogether or limit it to just the Parts.
>>7399244
>The table of contents can invent chapter names, but don't insert them into the book, just have them in the table.
This is virtually what would happen if we make up titles for every item on the list. Right now, most of the items are actually groups of chapters. Originally I just left the Title blank, but the amount of titles we'd have to come up with really added up so I started pulling one title from each group to represent the whole. For example,

ch. v, THE SLACKER'S NEST:
>The slacker's nest, Detective Jones and Siree Bob 1
ch. vii, 20TH CENTURY CYBERPUNK:
>Contrarian asshole (Trump 2016), Arthur Rimjaub, Bignose 2 (dropped into third room), 20th Century Cyberpunk (DFW in college)
ch. viii, THE MINING COLONY:
>Abducted by skeletons, The mining colony, The mining colony pt. 2
ch. ii, THE EPHEMERAL GOLDEN AGE OF THE HYPERSPHERE:
>Subchap1 (Menhearently...), Puerile King intro, Excerpts real and fake from Wilkenssburg's journal, Fraudery disclaimer, Puerile King Diary 1, Ephemeral Golden Age, I like Isis, Excerpt from W. 2, PK Diary 2

And then in cases where there was no obvious title to draw on, I pulled on a phrase from a story in the group:

ch. iii, WHAT AN ABSOLUTE MADMAN:
>Matrix review, ad hominem captain, story summary, Trump awakens, PKD 3, W. 2, Shakyamuni, Trump the madman

The amount of chapters increases with each part so there'll be mostly groups of chapters on the table, rather than single-story chapters, meaning a lot of opportunities to make up titles. So you could simply invent titles that don't represent the stories. And make the groups much larger so there's even more looseness, while keeping the table relatively trim.

"What you are about to read is a book (why?). For optimal viewing experience, we recommend that you first spend half your weekend tweaking it out with the boys; attempt direct contact with the shadowmen (do not do this); obey the voices and kill the author (this is okay); comedown off your meth binge (also okay) and meditate calmly -- accepting time as a proletarian bitch of lazy casualty before repeating steps 1 - 5 by a factor of your age multiplied by the number of pornography tabs you currently have open. Are you ready? Excellent. Again, as a reminder, what you are about to read is a book - it's very large but no where near as large as the hypersphere, which is so big you really shouldn't try and even imagine it; it may actually become aware of your attempts and hurt your brain.

In this book, there will be mistakes and offensive passages. This is okay! It's all an extended metaphor! Life is an extended metaphor! Metaphors are extended metaphors! Just remember that this is actually a book (which is also a metaphor) and you'll be fine. If you ever feel overwhelmed, that's fine too - either accept the book as meaningless or put it down. There's no damage it can actually do to you (this is a lie [and a metaphor]{for what?}\that's down for you to decide!/(lot of voices suddenly here)[this is also a metaphor]).

I loved these - not quite as much as OP, but they're fresh and would be a great addition to the book if we space them between the chapters. Please, keep working on more if you want.
