This is the official 'The Legacy of Totalitarianism in a Tundra 3: Tokyo Drift' thread. The project will continue from this point until completion, with a minimum of one month. This isn't one of those two-day miami deals.

In the foyer there were many different figures gathered. The figures belonged to a group entitled “The East India Company +”™(c) [property_of_sony]. Their plan was to reunify the Asian countries under the flag of Nihon, as was intended in the late 19th and Early 20th Century. There was an underlying theme to their gathering, however, and these characters were by no means ordinary people. There was a misshape to them. They were a glitch. It is true that for many years various japanese businessmen had been organising the various fluctuations in popularity which defined the organism referred to as “4chan”, “2ch” et cetera. They begun with projects within their own locations, but one particularly perverse businessman was interested in bringing their business interactions overseas, in a sort of replay of the Pearl Harbor incident. Mr. Poole was a young japanophile who was both interested in visiting the Archipelago (or what he thought was the Archipelago but was actually a magnetic field of various spiritual Shinto “thingamabobs”) and also a frequenter of the infamous “Encyclopedia Dramatica”, which was said to be like “2ch” but for degenerates. In the same way that the Jewish people would unleash Marxism on Russia, so too did the Japanese release Mr. Poole on to the United States of America and by extension, Europe. There is a predisposition among “channers” to masturbate to prepubescent children, while referring to a book entitled “Lolita”, supposedly respected around the world (A lie spread by those exact oligarchs). Vladimir Nabokov was in fact a drunkard who spent most of his days in a shopping trolley being pushed around Belarus. While 4chan was very successful, the east asian oligarchs still have a “trick up their sleeves”. This trick is an extremely life like android entitled “Tina Tamashiro”, a supposedly japanese-american teen idol who is said to reduce any one who stares intently at her face for more than 3 or 4 hours to a hopeless wreck (if they already are not after frequenting 4ch). The precise amount of time is not known. With this, the “soft” attack on the US will soon be over, and the japanese will be free to unite the coloured people under the one banner of the rising sun.

This is all I could think of in relation to Japan off the top of my head.

Is something like this acceptable?
I'm going for a short-story jamming in as many Murakami tropes as I can.

Suki Hamabashira set out from her hometown, an irrelevant place in the Aomori prefecture, to go to Tokyo, and with her she carried a first edition of a novel by an unknown author. The nondescript cover had in faded lettering its English name title and inside the pages were yellowed and its edges uneven.
She had gotten the book from her father, who personally knew the author once and had a great deal of interest in his writing, and felt very proud to own, as he put it, a very limited printing.
“But I didn’t get him to sign this one for me, you see.” He told her. “When I met him I was at university, and we went to track him down, two of my classmates and I. We knew he was in the city somewhere, and we heard stories about him, people said he went out all night drinking, so we searched the bars, and the only clue we had was that always carried a tennis racket. Nobody actually had his address or could describe him accurately but for that.”
He told her how after two weeks they came across a five foot tall middle aged man playing at an arcade, with a cigarette in the corner of his mouth, and strapped to his back a tennis racket.
“We were so excited we sat on the opposite end of the room, arguing amongst ourselves weather we should approach him, and what we should say. We didn’t know for certain that it was him, but I felt sure, and so all the more nervous. One my classmates asked the owner of the place if he knew who he was. “Oh, that guy comes here about twice a week, always drunk, and plays on everything we’ve got. He gets perfect scores on most.” He said to us.”

She is in a Bar somewhere in Tokyo, she thinks, I think. Little Japanese buy her beer, they offer her shots of anything, cheap Japanese whiskey, rice vodka, she tried a glass of Sake but it refused to agree with the top of her mouth. She settled on beer, cold ales, cold lagers, beers on tap, and imported from Europe, Australia, China. The bar lights warmed as the beer inside her warmed. Her toes rested on the brass footrest that runs the along the bottom of the counter, they felt tingly, after a heineken sparkling green in the bottle, then shimmering golden in her pink mouth, then a beige digestion in her stomach, she could no longer feel them.
She could no longer feel her ears, after a balding middle aged Japanese business man, Shiny yellow head sweating, offered her a brown glass of Irish stout. She could no longer remember Wojeck, or she could, but he existed somewhere else, somewhere in the pacific where little Japanese business men pulled in the last of the blue whales, the last of the blue fin tuna, the last of the frogmen in blue t-shirts. Wojeck belonged there, with Moby Dick, swimming in a rapid stream of feels, in a Mariana Trench of tow no gf.
She could feel her breasts, warm glow inside them, emanating heat that made her face go a bright red. She could feel, a pressure running up her thigh. A force pushing up underneath her skirt, reaching her underpants. She could feel Wojeck, at the door to the bar, looking above the little balding heads of the Japanese men, that had now formed a crowd around the white girl, about to be fingered to oblivion with their little horny hands. His own balding head, wrinkled brow, becoming their balding head, and his hands becoming theirs and his fingers slipping past the brave elastic holding the panties to her lips, holding the armour to the flesh.

She awoke, in an apartment overlooking a train line. Blankets piled on top of her, steaming underneath the piles of fabric, the cold burning her exposed face. Wojeck sat at the end of the bed, looking out of the open window. Goosebumps on his bare, pale arms. His back red in the cold. The open window, shivered each time a train rattled past, and a gust of wind blew into the room.

he saddest thing about Elliot Rodger could have been his inability to know.
He never knew that all people were selfish. He never knew that he was imperfect. He never knew that people were attracted to confidence. He never knew the touch of a woman, or the respect of another man. He was isolated, by himself and by the apathetic stride of strangers, by the shallowness of the women he knew, and by the shallowness of his own opinion. If he didn’t fight against his own insecurity the way he did, violent and enraged, then maybe someday he would have found a girl who liked the angular jaw, who liked his introspective shyness, who saw a boy and loved him instead of scorning him for not being a man.

The whole thing must have been both an elaborate joke and also an actual suicide.
Consider the following:
a) He contemplated suicide because he had no purpose with out what was evidently his infatuation and reason for living: an unnatainably perfect girlfriend.
b) Since he was going to commit suicide any way, he as well make a sort of joke "art piece" out of the whole thing.

Let's revive it. There's over 100 pages of material still there and a lot of it is really good. The plot about moot's retirement and the reptilians and Kolsti fighting moot are all amusing, and some of the SJW-style interludes are great. The rap battle was great, and the interlude thing Kolsti contributed himself is the best-written part of any Tundra novel.

Can someone make a general plot synopsis of what's been written so far? Maybe at least mention which sections they feel are finished and which are open to expansion?
I'd like to write something, but it's pretty hard to struggle through all that shit and I doubt someone else will do the same to follow on whatever I write.

ALSO, whoever is doing footnotes, remember that if anyone erases it all the footnotes won't be in the rtf or txt extraction google docs does. Try to leave leave them out and give them format at the end.

Tundra 1 had more story than 2, and many more read the first one than the second. No one wants to read 100 pages of shitposting, no one even reads it when posted here.

But it's cool, it would be nice if you let us know that it will be unreadable and without any attempt of actually being a novel but reading half a page is no big effort either.

How is someone expected to find them when the first page is a single paragraph with multiple sub-sentences that self referential to themselves, dank memes and cheap pseudo tractacus analysis of pointless things?
It's as if someone was doing an earnest attempt to looks smart, failed and then hurried up to make it look intentionally idiotic. You can't start your multi-author novel with shit or no one will pass the start, the beginning has to be the most polished part of the turd or there is no point. Would you watch a movie that has starts with 10 minutes of someone making a cheap parody of a Godard film that they haven't actually seen? Would you listen to an album where the first three tracts are fart noises and muffled voices of the band members congratulating themselves on their great idea?

someone said before that everything would be kept but that shouldn't happen, and I do agree w/ both of you. The decision to remove things must be collaborative, though, which presents some difficulty. Everyone's just letting everything stay in there, mostly, as far as now, but we should make a list of sections (>>6484866, this of mine, incomplete, but has most of it down -- too vague to tell from it if things should be kept or not. I could probably point out, as could most anyone else, where the one-off stuff really lies, but I'm not sure if it ---- the Shi shi shi thing should go. The coloring page that's just a dick, while it was funny the first time around, because it was a stupid surprise, loses that very quickly -- don't know if it should be kept. A lot of the Canadienne stuff is quite good. The 9/11//Daddy Fetish thing should go, probably. Someone should integrate the 4chan A-Z into the /tv/ Anon story. See, that is the problem w/ a lot of this -- no proper context, orphaned, shit. If someone wants to integrate the meme poems into something that'd be nice, etc.)

no that's fine. integration here would be great. someone down the line integrated the Japanese Cock/computer programmer thing w/ Stephen P. Canadienne, in a way, which I though was nice. I mean, integration as a principle is nice here, as in connecting the disparate/chaotic elements of the thing and later tying them together and such, not necessarily 'pat' per se, and sentimental, and silly, and not necessarily directly (ie. it may be very oblique or indirect, some of the edges between the vertices of material, on this graph of a novel, but a wholly connected thing, i.e one may see how to 'walk', so to speak, from one thing to another, but that it's not completely connected en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planar_graph, which seems somehow silly.)[this little digression here doesn't have any sort of insight at all, but I'd rather this thing not be like a /lit/ humor thread, all pieces different and concerning different and unconnected subjects, though funny, that's not how novels 'work' most of the time], but you're asking if in this specific case, is it good?, and I'd say so, probably, if you do it right, if you think (I know some of /tv/'s culture but I don't lurk there) a /tv/ Anon would be a weeaboo, or something.

[Anonymous No.6485953]

Okay, as I'm living the satte of the main plot lines is as follows:
-Guy turned into Pepe is the brother of Steve P. Canadian. They are both named the same. They are both in Japan.
-Danny is 4chan personified. He's edgy, works for yakuzas. He left Pauline in the states and is still angry with her. He refers to himself as Anon.
-Carl Hollywood, enemy of shamans and successful programmer, is still in China avoiding taxes, he doesn't speak Chinese.
-Steve P. Canadian (non-frog) is hooked to the electric line in a Neuromancer inspired scheme.

There are a few pages after the numbered chapters about bees and shit. If you want to add them to the correct numbering do so, but try to make them worth reading before that. Intermissions are fun if one knows they are an intermission, otherwise you skip it.

Try reading from the begining, skip things that don't look like plot. It's starting to be a thing.

There is some space to freedom when it comes to chapter titles and paragraph structures. If someone does something that breaks the rest it will eventually be fixed to the closest possible thing, the same with design things that got broken in later additions (like the fading out thing).
