Gentlemen... It is done.

Spearbreakers.doc (Download link) (Mirror 1) (Mirror 2) (Mediafire)
I joke. They all link to the same thing.

The complete story of Spearbreakers, as it stands so far. Statistics:
  • 20.47 MB
  • 250,549 words - roughly equal to 2.5 full-length novels. This would take somewhere around 17 hours to read.
  • 658 pages - if made into a book. It would undoubtedly take more than one.

My friends, we have created an epic that rivals the succession forts of lore. All derails aside, this is the fruit of our labor, in the form of condensed awesomesauce.


edit: They link to the correct doc again. Also, PDF links on the first page.

Sane? I just used the word awesomesauce, so no, I am not sane. :P But then again, didn't we all leave our sanity at the door when we signed up for Spearbreakers?
no, really, my mind is shot. I will take a break now.


And Corai, that figure is based on how it takes me around eight hours to read a 120k word book. And I read fast. And I wrote that 120k book, so I'm likely skipping little bits without realizing it. But go right ahead and try to prove me wrong. ;D

disclaimer: I am only human. I probably messed something up in there or skipped something or forgot something, or otherwise screwed it up. If I did, and somebody notices it... let me know.
also, if somebody can tell me how to fix the background colors, that'd be much appreciated, because I have no idea how to go about doing that.

Press ctrl a, and then click the little paint bucket in the top right hand corner.
Also, how many typos? Did you check?
Finally, everyone, consider this: we have written two and a half books of shear data, and we're just eight years in. imagine how much MORE we're gonna write.
