This is a good book. Let's read it together, Homestuck Fandom.

[Flutterknight]

Wait is this for real? If so, where'd you get it?

If it is for real, this is amazing.

[Redsail]

Whatever it is, it doesn't contain the WH extract that is in Homestuck.

Is the same general scene there?

Is there a way to open it without Microsoft office?

Is the same general scene there?

I'm reading it now and Grant and Russet are in the story. So maybe??? (at least it gives us some background on the scene in homestuck.)

@1eleven: You can open it in OpenOffice (which is free.)

[headisadinosaur]

where did you get this? it seems legit

It was true. Herbert never took pride in his unusual name, and in fact had spent the better part of his life nurturing an understandable umbrage about the whole situation. But he’d never guessed that in reality, or at least this sub-reality he found himself in, that his name was actually a form of slur. It was tantamount to wandering around with a name like Poopey Hubert, or Shitty Higgins. Or perhaps, within a more risqué quadrant, something like Tarty Walter, or Hussie Andrew.

feels like Hussie's style, anyway

[BlackholePA]

I'm assuming it's the same version that I downloaded off Tumblr last night, and eventually discovered the original source of (somewhere in Andrew's site's scraps directory) while posting in ComDisc.

EDIT: Hopy shit that was my 1000th post.

I'll save the specularnaodm for post 1025.

[atypicalActivator]

Hmm. Interesting.
@BLACKHOLE kudos on 1000 posts.
EDIT: You fake edited. SHAME ON YOU.

No I didn't? I swear that was a real edit.

But you're right, it's missing the edit stamp. That's odd, I am certain that it was a legit edit, because I saw the postcount and then went back to add to my post. The hell, forums?

[Nimz]

If you make an edit quickly enough, you won't have the edit stamp show up.

That's normal.
If you do it quickly enough, you won't get a timestamp.

Like I did.

Is there a way to open it without Microsoft office?

I am currently copying the entire thing into a .txt file, and am going to see if I can upload it.

EDIT: Text file

Three nonsense characters.

Uh, thanks?

and the ending could be read a legitimate ending?

[ghyt wembpang]

i dl'd it but i just finished The Book Of The New Sun and now I have to read Cat's Cradle and Ulysses and Closing Time and A Clockwork Orange and a collection of Roal Dahl and Eco-Fascists and The Great Bear Rainforest and like 6 or 7 other books i have out from work(the library, good thing I work there so I can make my due dates whenever I please huehuehue)

I'll get to WH eventually.

And there will be much rejoicing.

(yay)

[Lieutenant Fish]

oh wow I've kind of really wanted to read the original WH for a while now, thanks OA!

[donuts741]

I really need to get around to reading this.

Is it good guys? I need to know.

[Willoughby Kipling]

I can't believe I'm gonna actually get to read this! I've wanted to read it ever since Hussie talked about it wrt the drawings of Wizardy Herbert and his friends that were on Rose's wall, but I had no idea there was any way to actually read it.

Now Hussie just has to write and release Complacency of the Learned and everything will be all right.

[Trek]

I really need to get around to reading this.

I'm on page 174 right now and it is brilliant. It's a funny take on the wizarding world with unique aspects, intriguing plot and all around great writing.

I'm just sad he won't get around to completing the story, it is excellent and if it were published I would buy it SO HARD.
