For those of you who haven't preserved my perfect prose in hard copy, this is what you're missing. EAFOAB up to last weekend's edition. I'm simply waiting for the cover to be added, could be a bit heavy to take on the train or read in bed. Oh this is just volume one.

Goodness!
Quite a few dead pine trees there.
But also, quite an accomplishment. So, that's what more than 1.7 million words looks like.
Thanks A+B+I: for some strange reason I'm pleased that all my copies of EAFOAB are soft ones.
Maybe we should take up a collection to buy you a hand truck for taking that little lot around with you.

Oh, my...
You know... If all of us did that, there'd likely be a global paper shortage...
I only have
an e-copy too, the pic was sent by a good friend after we were discussing last weekend and she revealed she had a paper copy. Oh well, when Oxford (or should that be Portsmouth?)university looks to set up an archive to Bonzi, they'll have something to line his litter tray with.
You realise that people will be doing PhDs on this in a few more years, wondering why six or seven hundred people read it every night? It will probably come under the general dumbing down of literature or some such thing.

Nah. Remember, 'serials'
Nah. Remember, 'serials' are a phenomena as old as newspapers. The Strand was running a number of them, not just Conan Doyle, during the Victorian Era.
The only real difference is in the grammar and syntax of the writers in question - that has gone downhill in the last century. (Not sniping at you. I'm aiming at the vast bulk of people writing in general - including a lot of published authors)
I'll get a life when it's proven and substantiated to be better than what I'm currently experiencing.
Shouldn't that be ...
... Bonzi's litterary tray? ;)
I'm wondering if those bottles sitting behind your tome contain back embrocation to heal the sore back sustained from lifting the hard 'Bike'.

More pointless stats...
I won't hazard a guess at how many reams of A4 that collection was printed on (is it any wonder it's kept hidden behind a drawer unit behind closed curtains?!) or how much it weighs, but here's some more useless stats compiled from a certain spreadsheet I was daft enough to create and maintain...
The story has been running for 3 years, 7 months, 0 weeks and 4 days (1,311 days)
Alternatively, it could be described as 3 years, 5 months, 2 weeks and 6 days worth of episodes.
That equates to an average of one post every 1 day, 0 hours, 50 mins (about 0.966 episodes per day, or one every 1.0347 days)
We've (PS and I) listed 16 characters as Family / Household (I've included Jenny, as she seems to be a part-time resident), 29 major / recurring characters, 161 minor / one-off characters, and a further 28 university / medical staff. Then again, when the story's been running as long as it has, you expect Loads and Loads of Characters (please, don't get me started on how many dozens of tropes have been used so far!)
There are 10 kinds of people in the world - those who understand binary and those who don't...
As the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, then only left-handers are in their right mind!
days. days?
24 hours and 50 minutes is a tidal day. portsmouth being on the sea, could there be a connection?
Have you worn the letters off your keypad yet?
I hate to admit it but I stopped reading somewhere's in the chapter 500 plus range. Life took over for about six months and I just couldn't read it. I started trying to catch up and got to around chapter 567.I keep telling myself that I'll start reading it again but with a pile that huge it might take me six months straight of reading and a couple upgrades of reading glasses to do it.Congratulations on creating such a huge and unruly pile of high quality reading material.You truly are an excellent writer and you should be proud of yourself for keeping at it.
