<Insert Joke about Academia Here> #68

Open Reconcyl opened 4 years ago

A very silly idea: start with a single, handwritten chapter, and then extend it with forewords, tables of contents, glossaries, and the like until it reaches 50,000 words.

This is the finished version, provided I don't see fit to further update it. The final novel text is here.

Interestingly, the resulting novel does not contain the letter Q (this was entirely an accident). It is also nigh unreadable due to the recursive glossaries and indices.

:)

Hope you don't mind, I converted the Markdown to PDF to see all the formatting:

That PDF seems a little bit broken - there are a few places where <...> is used and the first bracket is escaped to prevent the text from being treated as a link, but the renderer you used treats them as invalid links and omits them.

This is great, I laughed.
