This is so bad it has to be intentional

Long does not mean good.

No, it's a piece of shit but still you would expect something like the odyssey or the bible to be the longest but no it's a smash bros fanfic

>>13165331

It's still longer than anything people here ever wrote.

Autism is the main tool for writing long stories.
You may not realize it but all great epics were also fanfics written by autists. Just replace Videogame characters with religious characters like gods and heroes, monsters, etc.

he started writing it after Brawl came out, and he's still at it 10 years later.
I wonder how he incorporated Smash 4 and Ultimate.

I think the second longest is a Stephanie McMahon/Chris Jericho fanfiction story https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2094087/1/Hugs-and-Kisses

The longest piece of literature ever written is Cent mille milliards de poèmes by Raumond Queneau and I'm fucking sick of everyone getting this shit wrong.

Reading one poem every minute 24/7, it would take more than 190 MILLION YEARS to read Cent mille milliards de poèmes. THAT is the longest piece of literature ever written. THAT'S IT. FUCK THIS MISINFORMATION BULLSHIT

Its kind of neat idea. I played the first few smash games but theres absolutely no structure or story. You just have an expansive universe that one could mold into something coherent. I applaud the ingenuity but im sure the writing is dogshit nonetheless

It does not count, it is 10^14 only if you count every single combination.
By itself, it's not long.

>>13165609

It absolutely counts you dip. The entire point of the book is to count every single combination. It's a ten-page book that contains 100,000,000,000,000 sonnets and to "finish" the book means reading every single one.

>>13165582
how’d he manage to write it then?

>>13165651

Because writing and reading are two substantially different acts. How do people who create procedurally generated games manage to create them?

Just looked it up, that’s really impressive and interesting.

rec books that will help me get better at melee

The university I went to had a hard copy in their Special Collections room and it was unironically one of the highlights of my college years

>>13165651
Each verse of each poem is a separate strip, you flip them like pages independantly of the others.

That allows you to combine the verse from the 10 original sonnet as you see fit, creating new sonnets with every variation.

Basically it's a combinatorial trick, however I would expect most of the poems to be nonsensical or shit.

Still you have to wonder, out of all those combinaisons...what's the likelihood of having at least a few masterpieces ?

>>13165691
Wait, you can’t get it anymore? I would love to buy a copy

Issues of quality aside I can't help being envious of those guys ability to write a chapter consistently every week.

Ultimately >>13165426 is probably right tho. Autism, lots of free time, few inhibitions and undemanding standards. Still somehow impressive.

>>13165403
And? Is that supposed to be an achievement?

Here is a site to read A Hundred Thousand Billion Poems.

Virtually guaranteed to be one of a kind if you hit shuffle

>>13165770
Basically, yet another writer made a pomo piece that fucks with the medium for the sake of being novel.

>>13165026
Subspace Emissary was the most kino campaign mode of any fighting game. Brawl is highly underrated

>>13165854
It's not really pomo, and it's perhaps more tongue-in-cheek than anything.

>>13165403
I'm 2,800 pages into a book. have posted proof on lit more than once

>>13165962
Based, what’s it about?

>>13165026

Outsider art is wonderful. Stuff like this and Ulillillia's works are wonderful. By the way, you guys should read his stuff.

brevity is difficult, but an abstract is that it's about what makes real intelligence/intelligence v pain. less abstract: basically the power goes out because of a type of virus, and in one part of the country technology gets exponential, in another part they revert back to the industrial ages.
I promised to post it all for free on lit, and I will. Almost finished proofing the first part (350 pages), then will format and post the free link.
Glowbug is the title

>>13166019
Pretty neat, is it literary or more genre-oriented?

>>13166035
definitely literary/character based. more like a family epic but instead of being based on the Napoleonic Wars, it's based on the (admittedly lame) idea of post-apoc. Though I started it in 2007, before the genre got BTFO, and the actual virus is a very unique thing having to do with intelligence and not "zombies"

>>13166054
Seems good enough, plenty of literary books use the post-apoc trope.
Best of luck to you dude, hope you tell us when you get it published.

>>13165842
What's the point if you can't understand French tho?

go ahead, define literature and explain how fanfic doesn't belong to it

this page is broken, I can't click shuffle

>>13167584
My point being, translated poems are arguably pretty shit

>>13165026
Just wait until /lit/'s very own "my diary desu" becomes the longest piece of literature

>>13165026
Yeah but I mean I we could easily beat that if we all decided to just start writing absolute shit that goes no where then put it all together, then we get the arbitrary title.

>>13166019
I'll buy it anon.

Harry Potter is longer if you scramble all the sentences in every possible combination.

>>13165891
SSE was boring as fuck. the only interesting enemies were the bosses. All the regular goons were uninspired and monotonous. The stages were too slow and they weren't challenging or interesting.
