This was it, though mention leaked here and there.

Seeing this title again with new posts gave me a happy.

If Luna was a furry, she'd sex humans and scream "BEASTIALITY!" at the top of her lungs at inopportune times.

I like the Luna one. She is a good one.

Ok, I got roughly 76,000 words, after taking out the multiple pages of mittens an OMG. 

And I also found this: http://www.blackironprison.com/index.php?title=Nessies

I have a word document that starts a new page for each post, and it's roughly 250 pages long (standard A4 format).

I don't have p3nt's illustrations.

I don't know what I'm going to be doing with this, but I might do something.  If anyone wants a copy of what I have to run with themselves in the meantime, you can download it here: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B8HUZ1DTb5O_eUNKX2dPR3F4dFU

I've been ruminating on how this could all be presented.

When I wrote my first few conversations, I always pictured each one as a bookend to another part of the larger story.  Like the one about the Old Man being one of the Four Horsemen sandwiching the original mention of the Old Man.  Of course, then I just sort've started running away with those two characters as all of our vignettes became more narrative in style.

Then I was wondering if all of the vignettes could serve as bookends to the more narrative-style ones, but I'm not sure that there's enough of the narrative to support them.

Is it just better in raw form, as we watched it unfold ourselves in this thread?  Presented as small snippets of different media leaking out to the wider world, giving us small bits of the story was clearly very effective for the readers here.

And what about editing?  I know my own pieces could definitely use a touch up, especially the early ones before I knew where I was going with them.  So many of the authors aren't active and I'd hate fuck with their work without approval, if they're even still interested in it anymore.

I think the only people that would have a problem with non-profit use of the work would be Khara and Charley.

I'm gonna quietly go through the posts, editing for grammar, syntax, and coherency.  After that, I'll probably use the wiki to arrange various arcs, flashbacks, flashforwards, and tie-ins.

I don't know how long it's gonna take, so if someone has a passion, hop to it.  I won't get in your way.

Look, asshole:  Your 'incomprehensible' act, your word-salad, your pinealism...It BORES ME.  I've been incomprehensible for so long, I TEACH IT TO MBA CANDIDATES.  So if you simply MUST talk about your pineal gland or happy children dancing in the wildflowers, go talk to Roger, because he digs that kind of shit
