72 HOUR WARNING; 72 HOUR WARNING. THE DOC WILL CLOSE IN 72 HOURS

Thread #6

I apologize for my long absence. This will be the last thread I make before I submissions close, so I will make sure to keep it bumped if necessary. Thanks to all who have submitted so far, I look forward to any final submissions from anons. In 72 hours the doc will close for submissions and the editors will go into deep editing offline. Hopefully the final project will be presented in digital (free) and digital form in a little over one (1) week.

ALL CONTRIBUTORS TO THIS PROJECT:
Reply in this thread or email me your name, pseudonym, nom de plume, nom de guerre, or any other way you would like to be identified in a page of the book listing contributors. If you do not want to be identified as a contributor then you will fall under the plural "Anonymous." This will be an honor system, if you did not contribute please do not supply a name. If you would like to supply a name, please contribute in the next 72 hours (can be as small as a single footnote)

As always, the instructions are on the first page of the doc. Email me submissions or ctrl+alt+f to add footnotes in yourself. Again, I am very thankful to all of those who contributed, and while Moby-Dick may have been a little too ambitious of a project, I am very pleased with what we have created.

The drama’s done. Why then here does any one step forth?

Damn 91 chapters left. If we don't get it done what's going to happen?

>>17006102
The number of chapters left on the front page hasn't been updated. We don't need to "finish" as there are 135 chapters in the book, I also have a lot of chapters that I will personally writing. We will have plenty of OC by the end

This is possibly my greatest obstacle to overcome in recent times. I want to write about a new endnote for a free chapter in the 30s mark but I have only 3 days to finish the very exciting Cetology chapter

Someone write Chapter 80: The Nut. There is so much meme potential with the name alone

>> No.17009508

everyone who emailed me with an obvious pseudonym I have added to the list of contributors. If you want to put a real/real sounding name feel free to, but I only automatically assumed that those who sent me fake names were fine with me sharing those names. If you want your "name" taken off the doc it will be

can the guy who made this cover get back to me? /lit/ looks like iliti and the word annotated looks really off. If anybody wants to take a crack at fixing this submission, go for it. This image as is will not be the cover but I really like the idea

Call me Trayvon, plus they are chasing the white whale? Brainwashed colonial mindset where they perceive white to be somehow good or powerful. They ought to be chasing a whale of colour and the ships officers need to all be transgender.

interesting take, expand it into a critique of specific chapter, or a critical essay on the book as a whole
