Dear Nalin Plad ,

When I discovered this "[WRITERS NEEDED] for WR fiction attempt" , I was intrigued. Not so much to be a person who is part of a team of writers creating the longest document to be the world's record for longest book. I thought War & Peace was the bar for how long someone should go for book length.

Either way, the structure of this message and the call to writers shows you have an idea and a small game plan that can get larger once you have people committed to the project. Is the idea just to knock out whatever, if it's not good, just to be the longest? If you have writers worthy of novel length fiction, wouldn't it make more sense to create something that can sell?

I guess my other wonderment, is there any money in this? You don't cover the incentives of being involved unless you're just willing to give your time and effort away to a project that you will get a small amount of credit for and barely recognized, over the person who organized it and will likely be most noted for this effort.

If you pull it off, it will could be against incredible odds and circumstances. Writer's Block is number one, writers quitting, creative differences, lack of motivation and finally the ability to crank out that long of a book...that's if you can get really capable people on board with this.

I don't know anything of the current record holder, but it must be something they created that they are quite proud of. To hear that someone wants to supercede it by so much more will likely feel defeating. Perhaps, if you crush the record, no one else will never want to near it? Perhaps, if it is accomplished, you could send out false backstories about the torture and turmoil it caused. Maybe, writer's took their lives or something and make no one else insane enough to try to topple your record. Because, face it, if someone does. It might seem all for not. Do what you can to protect the legacy if accomplished. Though, if there is money making opportunities from this, make sure the reviews of your effort and any urban legend you can build into it, make it worthy of being talked about.

I'll have to admit, I never heard of the world record. I never would go out of my way to google what the longest book is. I'm sure if it makes news, you'll have to do a lot of PR for years to keep it's legend circulating. Well, I'm getting ahead of myself.

It's not out there yet. People need to be recruited and that's what brought you here. Good luck! BTW, what's the longest book for a legally blind person. I might go after that, since I can't seem to complete anything and need motivation.
