>new things for back cover
How about you get a new front cover, that shit is fucking hideous.

There were a bunch of suggested blurbs in the last thread.
Why not use those?

If not then, then what do we want the blurbs to say?

Every. Time.

Bottleman here. The document is ready.

>>7455276
Now what, Bottle-chan?
Which company are we gracing with the opportunity to publish this century's most important work of fiction?

>>7455298
I'unno. I don't want to intervene and publish it myself to Lulu, as that might give rise to suspicion that I'm profiting from the book. Then again, some members of Anonymous suggested Cow Eye Press, of which I know nothing. Then the ambitious, who - jokingly - went Vintage or Penguin.

>>7455318
>not submitting a copy to Penguin and Vintage

I say do it through Lulu.
Does whoever submits it actually make money or does it all go to Lulu?

>>7455323
I admit to never having published shit, so I wouldn't know. What I understand is that some fraction from Totalitarian went to an autism charity, so there's money to be made (assuming people are ready to buy it.)

I was playing with the idea that Trump might be crazy enough to promote the book himself, send him a friendly notification via Twitter that the Internet has made a novel about him, immortalized him as a crusader and all that jazz, maybe send it to SJWs, Zizek and donate some copies to mental asylums or some crap.

Again, just entertaining the idea, hot shit.

bbpppum

>>7455345
Send it to Sam Hyde and the transgender whistleblower

>>7455345
Trump would probably not understand his depiction is half-satire and really enjoy it.

>>7455276

>>7457490
Needs a few more paragraph fixes, like on 2070: The turning point and the Part 2 header, and the Rousseau attention/shon error is still there

>>7457642
Did Gandhi ever say that? I doubt that. Even if he did, it sounds like a lot of pseudo profound nonsense.

>>7457679
we need our memes to have standards is all

The Anonymous hacker "4chan" spends his evenings hacking into the pentagon to masturbate to top secret obama nudes and drink lipton ice tea. his favourite books are ulysses, ancient egyptian manuscripts, and all of the Judy Blume books. He currently resides in the town of whogivesashit with his husband and 19 adopted nigerian children.

See for yourself, friend. :^)

>>7458922
From what I've read it's an anthology of the dankest memes ever?

>>7454048
dunno man, I love that cover

Bottleman here, I was thinking we could publish the book under "Bottleman" instead of anonymous to differentiate ourselves from the rest of 4chan.

>>7459054
The thing about publishing the book under "Anonymous ", alongside the fact that it would be easier than naming it after only one person or getting the names of every fucking person who helped in this thing, is that in a sense, it is a book written by 4chan, albeit only being produced on one of the boards, and might even help explain to people why it looks like a literal conglomerate of dank memes and casual racism.

Why do you guys always shit on everyone else who actually try to be good?

Why do you shit on anons that are good?

Is it because you can only produce this drivel and pretend that it is some sort of epic ruse that only you will get?

That's cool. You guys are cool.

Way back when /lit/ had once had a Zine and they would take only the best short stories and poems submitted.

It was decent.

This on the other hand is fucking trash.

Okay first of all, I was memeing you.
Second of all, you are not good and you have never been good. You deserve to be shit upon.

If you want to write something good, write it yourself. We will never stop you. I would be glad if you did.

But you won't, will you?

>>7473757
Do that on the side of a building or in a toilet stall. There's no need to aid in the steady downfall of literature.

This "book" could of been a collection of short stories from here. Good ones picked by our own community.

Instead it's a mash of inclusive buffoonery and garbage that even the lowest of plebs won't even read.

>>7473763
Looks like a struck a nerve.

Your shitty novel is shit and won't be anything other than shit because you all made sure it was shit to cover up the fact you can't write for shit.

And that's a shitty mindset for so called writers.

Nigga I ain't mad.
A little confused, but not mad.

I want to know why it took you this long to come and get mad at something that does not affect you in any way. You postulate that we are shit, and yet complain that we could have written "a collection of short stories" "Good ones picked by the community."

If we are as bad as you say we are, how can we possibly write anything good?
And if we do possess the potential to write "good" things, what harm is there in writing the occasional bad thing for amusement?
Are you under the impression that a majority of /lit/fags worked on this instead of producing "good short stories?" If that's the case, then there had been a miscommunication because this was not an effort in which the majority /lit/ took part. It was a very small minority of shitposters and faglords such as myself who decided to have a little fun.

Hypersphere does not preclude the existence of a collection of short stories. It never did. I don't know why you think it would.

I also fail to see why you are so concerned with what other people spend their time doing, when you could just as easily send your time doing the very thing you want them to do.

So no, I am not mad. Confused.

I think Hypersphere is /lit/'s most serious project yet. If you cut out the first third or so you actually have a semi cohesive literary satire with actual characters and well plotted arcs.

>>7475437
Yes, the finale isn't actually too trite in a lot of parts, and kind of builds on previously established characters and themes too.

No, you're kidding yourselves. It's a pile of esoteric meme shit- totally unreadable with its stream of adolescent humor (constant references to "c ucks" and "n iggers" and "donald trump" mean it's saturated with /pol/-tier humor. Oh is it supposed to be satire? Isn't that the classic /pol/ self-explanation self-defense? I don't care if it's satire, it's neither funny nor interesting, it's completely childish!)

>>7475846
Well I eventually plan on doing it all but if you have any specific passages you want me to read I can do those ahead of time.
Just send me a message or leave a comment on YT and I'll do your request.
I'll put it in a separate playlist of requested passages and should I come to that part in my straightforward reading I'll do it again.

>>7475826
Also, maybe pre-read before you start recording or go back and rerecord parts
for the most part you're doing a great job but sometimes you're completely butchering words like 'Lynchianism' and 'Essayist'

>>7475857
Yeah I'll see to that.
I noticed the latter in which I put a J in there for some reason.

The 3rd most recent recording I was drunk in so I'm not surprised there but I'll reread a couple times through prior to recording it and if I mess up, with as short as these videos are, I'll just hit the reset button.

>>7475851

>Well I eventually plan on doing it all
Wow, in that case godspeed and good luck

>>7475826
>Also yeah, don't know French all the well, lol.
The fact that you didn't know french made it even funnier. I listened to it about four times, it completely cracks me up. It really does sound like you're reading this mystical old language when it's just french.

>>7475866
Ha, thanks man.
At this rate it will take me a little over a year but we'll see.
Maybe when I'm done I'll read another meme book like IJ or GR.
We'll see, thats a bit far out lol.

Dude! What the fuck?

>>7475833
You see, I considered dividing it into five parts such that I could download the .pdf. I browsed Part II and noticed its format is completely (and I mean, utterly) disastrous. Then I realized the book's dimensions would put the whole book into shame, so I'm at a loss whether to change the doc (It's the genuine copy) or resolve with something else, maybe? There are tons of quirks in the doc that won't translate well in any other medium I know of.

I thought of publishing the doc to the internet, but discarded the idea immediately. It's a cul de sac from here.

Alright sounds good to me mate.
Given how short of a passage is before it I'll probably play your video/recording in the background of mine upon reaching that part. (with credits in description of course).
Or if you upload it to youtube I might just add it in as a separate video of what it is "properly" supposed to be and for my own video just use google translate for that part and read that.

Wouldn't it have been more subversive to write a true critique on the bankrupt nature of the western intellectual?

I guess the tongue in cheek, subserviently lapping at the dick forced into your mouth prevents any actual speech, rendering your voice is just a gargle of cum.

Anonymous group think is not anonymous or thought at all. So all you are left is with is group, and groups are led and told how to be.

You're not a special flower, despite your clinging ever present virginity. You're just as low and vile as those you mock. They may click like, thumbs up, share empty pictures overlayed by empty thoughts; but you in jealous agony betray yourselves, pretending to be outside and taboo when that system long accepted and incorporated everything you say and do.

What cheap sophism. Without a visible leader, the input of any member of the group appears just as valid (on its own strengths) as any others. The point of anonymous is that everyone is leading everyone else, or ignoring them, so the degree they choose. We are all equally worthless.

>>7480005
Which makes it funnier, I think. Had the project stayed in the thread, we would not have seen it in Hypersphere anyway.

Guys please stop with the senseless arguments over whether the book is shit. even if it is, the whole point of it was to conglomerate of others works, so it wouldnt be that surprising if it was shit. can we not just join together as a community and finish this piece of shit book and make metaphorical mad stackz?

Bottlesphere: Solitary Adventures of a (an) Genius

I have my goddamn credit card ready in my hand.
Don't let this project run out in the sand.
Please know this, please understand:
You have the fate of this book in your hand.

>>7493898

Post an excerpt pls

Excuse moi - what the actual fuck is this and where can I order the hardback cover edition?!

People.
What about gathering a team of translators (self proclaimed) and translating it into other languages?
I can make an attempt and translate it into polish.

Okay, so just to be clear? Bottleman is a fake? No one is editing?

I know the book pretty well so editing it (with minimal editing) and putting it up on lulu shouldn't take more than a day or so.

BUT I SWEAR TO GOD. IF SOMEONE ELSE IS EDITING: PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

I'm profoundly sorry for upsetting thee with my inconvenience and lack of understanding for thine complex system of nonverbal communication and memetical gestures. I am not going to proceed and end my miserable life, for I am not longer able to withstand the pitiful existence bestowed upon me.

Okay, dummies. Since we haven't hear a word from someone saying they're editing this I am TAKING COMMAND.

HERE ARE MY FASCIST RULES:

IT WILL BE IN TRADE SIZE (A5)

MARGINS AT 0.8 INCHES

I WILL MAKE TEXT SMALLER IF IT DOES NOT FIT.

I WILL KEEP FUCKED UP COLORS EVEN IN BLACK AND WHITE.

I WILL PUBLISH IT TO LULU WITHIN THE WEEK.

I WILL FINISH EDITING IN THE 12 HOURS.

I MIGHT REMOVE CHATTY BANTER INSIDE OF THE TEXT UNLESS IT IS FUNNY

I WON'T REMOVE ENTIRE PIECES.

SPEAK NOW: QUICKLY OR FOREVER HOLD YOUR PEACE.

>>7494180
Okay.

>>7494180
Wait, are you going to try and keep it coloured or just black in white?

Good luck and godspeed.

>>7494240
In the black and white printed version it is going to show up as shades of gray.

200 out of ~720 pages done.

Including a bunch of tables not set up for A5 size and a bunch of anons trying for cool formatting, I've tried to keep it as close to the intent as possible.

Why couldn't you just go to Penguin? Why did you have to be such an autistic fag?

Penguin refused to publish it as a modern classic, they're dead to me.

Penguin refused? We shall then call Wordsworth.

>>7494604
Do it. It's copyright Anonymous all the way down. It can be published multiple times. The version I'm publishing is just one of many.

>>7494613
at least put a subtitle on it that makes it clear this is an alternative version

like Hypersphere: impatient tripfag edition

Let's not repeat the mistakes made by the editors of Ulysses and stick to one version approved by the community, shall we?

>>7494620
the novel has been done for weeks and we haven't seen results, I approve of this.

>>7494620
agreed

>>7494620
I'm not changing anything. I've fixed the formatting of like five things (that broke when changing the paper size) and made some text smaller to fit for a better flow, I have not cut out anything.

I haven't contributed to this other than to have a conversation with my friend over the doc at one point but I'll probably buy a copy. Good luck.

>>7494647
And I've added one editors footnote where I couldn't fix the formatting of a poem.

>>7494658

Very well. We are awaiting the final version then. Godspeed and good luck.

>>7494658
Please let us send it to publishers before going through lulu though

>>7494687
It's been three weeks since the last edit. No one stepped up, also: Lulu isn't shit, they're nice books. It doesn't even SAY Lulu on or in the book.
And it'll be automatically added to Amazon and Barnes and Noble which is fun.

>>7494713
Just 100 more pages to go through.

>>7494687
shut up anon we're not getting published by anything run by human people

>>7494713
Hello tripeditor.
The objective in my mind was to publish the book to Google, then download a pdf and share off Scribd. Once word got out that people wanted lulu, Cow Eye and Penguin I hesitated, polished what remained of the paragraphs and, once I realized my corrections break off too many times in .pdf succumbed. Mistakes with the grammar, typography and punc have been treated, for most of the part. I'm sure you'll do better.

>tfw more where that came from

AP confirms, Tripfag is fast-tracking the book so he can take the profits

>>7494802
This is why it's only acceptable for Bottleanon to publish, he's put enough hours in that he's trustworthy

I really doubt the possibility of this book becoming a smash hit, although, I have a proposal - all profits should go to a charity of WikiLeaks.

>>7494822

>was meant to be "or Wikileaks"

>>7494810
Thank you for the sentiment, but I much would have loved had it remained in public domain. It always seemed to me that there's an invisible hand behind publishing any material. And so I went into hiatus, not knowing exactly what to do next.

>>7494802
>>7494803
You can set your own price.

>the profits
Will be zero.

>fast-tracking
It's been done for three weeks. Fast tracking would be not even going through it.

But please: do please feel free to compete with my patrician version.

>>7494803
the profits are all eaten by the cost to print. anon ain't making money even if he tried.

Swell! The book actually as a ISBN now! I'll add it as soon as I'm done reformatting this shit:

Oh what the fuck? I haven't seen this ending.

Wasn't "Is this it?" and the large footnote supposed to be the ending. Both the meatspin stuff and "In the future, all spheres will be hyper" are pretty lame.

For me, the actual ending is quite ok. I would leave it as it is.

>>7494990
actual ending?

Actual in the sense of actuality (as in Aristotle - the potentiality manifesting itself right now blah blah). I'm not a great english speaker, not a native one either.

>>7494989
