YWS: The Complete Edition

Nate · 2009-11-08T06:26:45Z

I've been trying to keep tabs on this for a while, but someone leaked the project earlier today. Only a few people still know, but I figure it's better to do a pre-mature announcement than to let the rumor mill do it for me. Sometime in January, we will be releasing "YWS: The Complete Edition" in book form (probably for sale on Lulu and Amazon only). The book will contain every thread, every work, everything ever posted on YWS. First, you have six different parts in the book for the six different categories of YWS. Then within those six parts, it's further divided into the forums. Then by time. In short, it's exactly like browsing YWS, except you're doing it in a book. Cool, no? All 595,000 posts made on YWS as of October 31, 2009 will be available in the book for easy reading. As you can imagine, this is going to be kind of thick and thus expensive. However, I'm working on making sure it won't be too expensive (I'm hoping for below $100, but we'll see).

And for the art and photography section you could have them be like a pop up book or 3D or something, that would be really really neat.

The new YWS office space, of course.

Great idea! We'll probably have two acres of rainforest cleared, so one acre can be the parking lot while the other acre can be YWS HQ.

There should be an "Inside the Mod Forum" section. Which includes the discussions we've had about zombifying all our members.

o.o What now, Snoink?

Anyway, although expanding pages would be super amazing, it would be more expensive. Along with the 3-dness.

Y'know?

Yeah but, clearly this book is going to be awesome, and worth the $150 price tag that it's probably going to be. I mean, who wouldn't pay that much for the awesomeness of what this will be?

Heck, I'd pay $1000 for it.

I'm glad you said that! With the 3d-ness, expanding pages, and special skeleton key protected mod pages, it's probably going to cost around $800 to $900.

Sweet! I'd ask for that as a Christmas present, except it's coming out after Christmas!

That's going to be so cool...would you include the users' names next to their relavant posts? Or would that be asking too much? Probably. But wow, that is so sweet!! Can't wait to get out there and buy it.
