house of leaves / goncharov esque project consisting of the paratext of a nonexistent text where the described-but-unseen source material is an 800 page rulebook for the worst tabletop game you've ever heard of and the paratext is a series of arguments and blog posts generated by insane forum users
Or of our favorite threads is the "what to do" one. Questions and answers. Make of it what you will.

HOLY SHIT WHAT?!?!?!?!?!
Hello? YOU'VE GOT A BLOG ON TUMBLR?!?!?!
AWESOME?!?!?!
I thought you all were all dead?? Or the page was highly outdated.
We're not dead :) not even for tax reasons.
We have had technical difficulties with creating new accounts, as well as resetting forgotten passwords, but that's been resolved. And the site was launched in 1999 so...
But yeah, we love new researchers, new entries, and are doing our best to grow again, so, come! Join! Write! Hang out on the discussion threads, make friends.

Just a little thing.
Remember the old internet? When nobody used their real name, and your information was safe with the website, not getting sold anywhere?
We're still like that.
You do need an email address to sign up. But if that's [email protected] we don't care, as long as that's where you confirm that you're you.
Your screen name can be pretty much anything (just don't be rude about it).
We even stopped having google ads. They brought no money anyway, and got so intrusive and weird, so we cancelled that.
So, come on over, join, write something about something you are interested in, and submit it for the Edited Guide

The character descriptions from the Making Of book for the movie if anyones interested cuz I liked them. Zaphods is so foul LMFAO and they dont know how to spell McMillan but Alllllright
Interesting tidbits about the movie casting
I’m not sorry
this is my favorite Star Wars post
But what if…. Luke goes “I appreciate that you’re trying to take my mind off things by coming up with ridiculous stuff to try and get a laugh out of me, but it’s Not Working.”
Obi-wan: “but it’s true!”
Luke: “Uh huh. What’s next, telling me that I’m the hologram lady’s long-lost twin?”
Obi-wan: “Yes!”
And from this point onward Luke thinks that this is Obi-wan’s attempt at a long-running gag. Obi-wan grows increasingly desperate to convince Luke that he’s telling the truth, darnit. Luke thinks he’s growing increasingly desperate to be funny.
Darth Vader mcfreakin loses it when Luke’s first words upon seeing him are a sarcastic “Oh hi, dad” with enough sass to choke Jabba the Hut.
Vader: “how did you know.”
Luke turns to Obi-wan and splutters.
Luke: “How?? How did you get Darth Vader to play along with your stupid joke????”
I love it
Oh my gosh
I really love this post
okay but vader didn’t know either. he thought his kid was dead. he’d probably put it together faster if obi-wan’s new apprentice called him ‘dad’ and turned out to be named Luke Skywalker, but this would be HOW HE FOUND OUT.
Vader has to sit down for a minute lest he has a fucking heart attack, but his suit would make that unnecessarily difficult so he just stands there having a silent system meltdown.
Luke is utterly confused while Obi-Wan tries desperately not to have a laughing fit. He is way past his prime, but this was unintentionally the best trolling he’s ever done.
Vader realizes that FUCK, this is absolutely something a son of his would say isn’t it.
Luke is only just now registering the implications and starts screaming at Obi-Wan, who is still laughing, he DID try to tell him, after all.
Vader snaps out of it and regains his composure.
Luke, still screaming: “So, that part about my sister was true too!?!?”
Vader: “….”
Vader: “YOUR WHAT!?”
Palpatine: hey Vader where are you you’re supposed to be on the Death Star
Vader: sorry I’m on paternity leave
Palpatine: you’re on what now
Vader: do you KNOW how much child support I owe right now?? i don’t have time to conquer the galaxy and rule at your side as your iron fist. i need to get a job that pays

We regret that this lost transmission to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, by Megadodo publications, is still relevant.
Our condolences to students everywhere.
I interrupt your irregularly scheduled Locked Tomb programming to bring you this brief interlude…
‘The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy’ by Douglas Adams as the Lindisfarne Gospels.
This was the first manuscript recreation I ever did and I had a lot of fun adding in all the little palaeographic details!
I think staff should bring this one back for the newbies
They should bring it back for me. Because I think its hilarious.
you should be able to buy one as a little virtual pet that lives on your dash and you have to keep posting/liking/reblogging to keep it alive. it would be awful and i would pay money for it

It's been a while since we shared things on Tumblr, but here's a story from one of us
It's not particularly gruesome, despite the topic of hysterectomy, and it has funny drawings
Did you ever get around to posting the results of that Zaphod pronunciation survey?
I'll be real with you anon, the post has gotten so out of hand it would be VERY difficult for me to put together all the data as presentable as I'd have liked. I had around 60 followers and expected maybe 100 unique notes; last I checked it's gone to over a thousand.
What I can tell you is this:
The "zah-FOD" pronunciation is by FAR the most popular pronunciation, with the canonical pronunciation "ZAY-fod" being a distant second.
The book series is the most common entry point for the franchise by a large margin. Second is the 2005 film and the original radio shows are third. Shoutout to all the people who were introduced to the series by their dad reading it or telling them about it.
Several different languages other than English were represented; the most common to turn up was German followed by Czech. Most languages translated Zaphod as "Zafod" or "Safod" with the occasional "Sappod". Languages with a non-latin writing system like Hebrew or Korean tended to transliterate it as "Zap-hod". (They don't all do that, though; the Japanese translation had it as zuhFOD until the retranslation when the film came out and they wrote it as ZAYfod)

My favourite tag has been "ZAP-HOOD BABY I LOVE BEING WRONG". You're wildly incorrect but love the energy, keep it up.
All in all I learned both some very interesting information about HHG... and that next time I want to do a survey I ought to do it on google forms.
I have so many questions
In the name of everything decent in this world, you have got to turn the sound on.
