Book about Chris's life -

[ChristmasDuck]

If someone managed to write a drama-style book about Chris's life thus far, would you read it? If yes, why? If no, why not?

The book of Chris is nasty, brutish, and short.

I would want a book written by him first and then given to the community of cwcki to be analysed and commented on, as well as having the actual facts of his life events. Kinda like an mst3k with some pop-up video, but in book form.

Also:

I think this may be a "what if" topic.

The thing is, Chris's life doesn't lend itself to book form very well, because there's no overarching story to it. He just gets trolled (or shoots himself in the foot), never learns, and the cycle repeats. And when he's not online performing for the trolls, he just decomposes in 14BC like the rest of Barb's hoard. Where's the narrative? The real unique appeal of the CWC saga is the higher-level analysis - coming up with our own theories and conclusions based on years- or decades-long patterns. If anything, a wiki is already the best way of summarizing Chris's life.
Besides that, a lot of our favorite moments are just that - moments. "Bob Walks In", for example, was just a couple minutes out of Chris's life, which he himself probably forgot almost instantaneously.

It'd be kinda like Catch-22 or Ulysses where the protagonist bumbles from one situation to another.

I guess we could write the entire thing in CWC-isms if we really want to go the "Ulysses" route XD

 

[CatParty]

His life reads like a Choose Your Own Adventure if one were to only choose the wrong decisions.

Another route would be to not be from Chris's viewpoint and more a collection of interviews with people in Ruckersville and Charlottesville and it'd be called 'Fear and Loathing in Ruckersvillve'

His life reads like a Choose Your Own Adventure if one were to only choose the wrong decisions.

Or have your parents make wrong decisions on your behalf.

I'd definetely read that. His life is already like an absurd, tragic play, if someone could pen it down properly I would love reading it.

You'd have to put in some kind of CWC-to-English dictionary, just so people could read it.

A book about Chris's life wouldn't be drama but more psychological horror

I keep saying the best way to tell the CWC story is in the vein of Krapp's Last Tape: one man, alone onstage, listening to the recordings that sum up his life (for better or worse)

If I were to write a book on CWC I'd call it "Little Big Planet Autism Tutorial". It would be all the horrifying examples of his life that show how not to raise your autism kid. The preface would also say something like "Hey! Just do the opposite of everything in here!".

I'm especially proud of the title by the way. I had to use all my originality to come up with it. All of it.
