Chapter 6. 'cause I want to be a paperback writer

[thebestseller]

You know what sucks? Making books. Jeez. There has GOT to be an easier way to do this, especially if I'm going to be writing longer stories.

But worry not for now. My hard work has finally paid off.

ATTENTION EDENSPHERE!

I am proud to announce the completion of my first masterwork, a story about a friendly banana puppet we all know and love, entitled "Our Friend Nannerpus"! Authored by me, Derrick, and illustrations provided by a lovely person who wishes to remain anonymous. There are limited quantities available... very limited... as in... they're not for sale right now, just to be borrowed. I don't seem to be able to catch the guy who runs the bookstore, so please stop by my place in Section 3 if you're interested.

AND YOU SHOULD BE.

Play nice, everyone~ we'll all get a chance to read it eventually.

[[OOC: And there you go! "Our Friend Nannerpus" is a short childrens' story about Nannerpus and his pancake-giving generosity, and I don't feel like coming up with the whole thing so- ah, feel free to make shit up? XD There will be 5 copies floating around (there were 6, but he saved the first copy for his man-twin, awwww) all put together and hand-written by Derrick, with illustrations done by an NPC.

ALSO, HAVE A FREELY-GANKABLE COMMEMORATIVE ICON]]

You sided with that terrorist!?

Pancake-giving banana puppets are the perfect thing to base a story on! Even if they happen to be indestructible!

[spandexisyouth]

But what if we do not love it?

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Hmm. That's your prerogative, I suppose. At least nobody's paying for it!

Totally nodding at the journal.

[A few pen taps, followed by a pause.]

An easier way?

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Right now I have to hand-write and put together each copy myself, which isn't going to cut it for longer things.

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

Woah woah! Stop by our place? We are not a bookstore, man-twin!

Bawwww

Do you have a better suggestion? The bubbles seem to be gone, but I can't exactly go out hawking my wares in the freezing cold.

[pinkhairedchild.livejournal.com]

Excuse me Sir, but I'd like to read this book of yours. Lemme borrow it.

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Gladly. Stop by any time.

You're Blood, right? That one with the awesome name.

[godsmajesty.livejournal.com]

... Try the paper factory? Or the people who make the journals.

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

I'm a journalmaker myself, actually- put them all together by hand.

[unevoked.livejournal.com]

...What the hell?

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

A book about Nannerpus. Yup. Might be the first in a series. Maybe I'll introduce Bernard at some point.

[smokesordie.livejournal.com]

Well.

Everyone's gotta start somewhere, I guess.

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

I consider it to be the start of a budding and fantastic career.

[redhead-rabbit.livejournal.com]

Is nannerpuss really that interestin'?

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

A singing banana that gives out free pancakes? I'm gonna go with a big fat YES.

[sassyandpink.livejournal.com]

That's what your first book's about? A friendly banana?

...Well, if you have any copies left, I guess I'd like to read it.

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Who gives people free pancakes, yes.

You are welcome to borrow one.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

You made a kid's book?

Why?

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Because I could.

I just know I'm a writer, I don't know what I'm good at yet- so I need to try different things.

[pimpcoatbankai.livejournal.com]

Great. Just when I thought I'd got that damn song out of my head you go and stick it back in again.

Thanks buddy.

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

I aim to please.

[hanakioku.livejournal.com]

...book.

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Yup. A book about Nannerpus.

[out-ofmycage.livejournal.com]

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, no.
