Now THIS is steampunk music, my friends :D

And it’s airing Touch at the moment. Some of the characters were supposed to have an Australian accent, but one of them sound more Irish :/

K terrified me once by telling me which Harry Potter books it was longer than. You don’t get that sense of length when it’s just words on a screen. O______o

Hmm, yes, ‘tis true. I read somewhere once that someone copied-and-pasted Blue Sky to Microsoft Word, I think it was, and that was like 180 pages or something, as opposed to 480, so I guess it goes to show that you can’t really estimate how many pages there are in stuff such as that :P

hello, please listen— a bunch of random tumblr tags are under spamattack. 

so far the only offending blogs are ‘askmokieurgay’ and ‘woohyunsfaceismelting’. block them.

i’m not talking about the “lol filing ur tag!!! u mad??? troeled XD” kind of spam; very disturbing and potentially triggering content involving gore-based porn and severe animal abuse/death is being posted. i advise you not to look even out of simple curiosity. this is not a joke.

the tags in question are

1. otherkin
2. octopimp
3. cat
4. cats
5. kpop
6. lol
7. animal rights
8. lgbt
9. mlp
10. lorax
11. onceler
12. avengers
13. doctor who
14. christianity
15. dirkjake

i know it may not be homestuck related, but i care about your well-being. i guess the fact that ‘octopimp’ is one of them makes it relevant enough, perhaps homestuck tags are next, so.

please take the time to put this out there and help to keep updated on any other tags that get gorebombed.

Signal boost you guys. I wouldn’t even dare looking at those blogs.

Now, I haven’t read Blue Sky yet - unfortunately, I’ve only read about half of Chapter 1. If you know me well, I suck at catching up with books, but I digress.

Anyway, back to what I was saying, I haven’t read Blue Sky, but only bits and pieces of it. I’m planning to do this thing where I turn these fanfics into physical hardcover books. I’ll admit, it does take a bit of trial and error, especially with the printing, since I have the tendancy to waste paper with things like this, but I’m getting there.

So the first fanfic I’m converting to hardcover is Blue Sky. It is quite interesting, really, to see how many pages there would be. I measured the size of the front cover of a novel that I just found in my room, which happens to be from The Saga of Larten Crepsley. Then what I did, I did a bit of complex calculating on Microsoft word, and I was sort of ready to go.

I formatted it as a fiction novel would format it typically, with the heading and whatnot, then getting on with the chapters. The Chapter title size was 36, whilst the “sub-chapter title” (ie - The Recall, etc.) was 20, and the text for the chapter overall was 12. I will admit, having to hate spoilers, I did do a bit of a stupid thing when I ended up copying and pasting Chapter 2; I highlighted Chapter 2-onwards black, because I didn’t want to read any spoilers, haha.

But anyway…

It was quite interesting to see how many pages there were even for the first chapter! For the first chapter, there were 23 pages in total, which is quite lengthy for a chapter, since an average for me would be about 13-15 pages. Nonetheless, I found it intriguing.

But what I’ve found more interesting was how many pages there would be expected when the entire novel would be printed off. On the second chapter, there are 29 pages, and as for the third, there’s a massive 45 pages! So I put my terrible maths skills to good use to figure out how many pages there’d be for each chapter. Obviously, it won’t be accurate; it’s just a rough estimation.

23 + 29 + 45 = 97

97 / 3 = 32.3333 recurring = 32.

So on average, there’d be on average 32 pages for each chapter. But then again, how long would the entire novel be? There are 15 chapters in Blue Sky, if I could recall, so…

32 x 15 = 480

Woah! So approximately, there’d be 480 pages in Blue Sky. That’s almost, like, as big as The Hunger Games! But like I said, this is only a rough estimation, so it could be either lower or higher than this approximation.

Hey, what matters here is that Waffles here has possibly written an entire novel-lengthed fanfic - and boy, isn’t that a big achievement? Kudos to you, Waffles!

There’s so much to say about the conversations, but in a nutshell, we talked about:

Retarded cockroaches dying of a heart attack over a shoe.

Lipo suction for portraits.

Eyes that contain machine guns if they’re really intense.

That is all.

Why hello there! Sorry for the late reply; busy week, it’s been, aack! Anyway, thanks for following! :)

And I’m not joking about this, but I’m watching this documentary right now on food - and the guy is literally almost like Stephen Merchant.

Honestly. They both ALMOST have identical accents with only the slightest differences (Steve’s from Bristol, but this guy’s from South Yorkshire), they’re both comedians, radio presenters, have worked to TV once, and probably have even the same height! I’m not kidding, he was flipping tall! :U Well, I’m not sure for looks though - they both wear glasses, but their faces are different.

But honestly, I couldn’t watch this without thinking of Steve. Gosh.

Anyway, if you’re curious about the documentary, it’s Secrets of the Superbrands. The guy is Alex Riley but if you ever stumble upon a video with him in it, they do sound similar, trust me.

Technically, I would say that almost everyone knows that band, since one of their songs was in a Nikon commercial :P
