oh my god can i just paste this all in will it work

it looks like homestuck is 4388628 characters long which doesnt fit.

I'm gonna have to remove some of the transcripts, stuff that shows in images or walkaround flashes if i want this to work. maybe some of the titles that are just arrows and nothing else

YES that's 3865997 characters, which can fit in the post limit of tumblr. wish me luck

3859120 after removing any double spaces and such

im working on a python script which downloads the entirety of homestuck from this page (thank you so much oh my god) and remove all the formatting and stuff to a single text file with JUST the text. it takes like 5 minutes to run the program every time

Back by popular demand. English Willy part 3

(Idk if I'll do another bc I feel like its run its course and unlike Scott Cawthon I would like to end my series on a high note! But to everyone who sent in asks or showed support or generally took part I love all of you and had so much fun with this. I might do more in future but I don't want part 4 to hang over me as something I HAVE to do)

i’m going to attempt to put the entirety of homstuck in a single tumblr post

should i include page titles? should i keep newlines intact or have everything be in one paragraph per block?

Did you know? Tumblr DOES have a post length limit. Strangely, though, it's based on how many blocks of text you have. Supposedly this implies that you can have any length post so long as it's one block of text? Very strange, will have to investigate further.

Two limits! You can have a maximum of 4,096,000 characters in 1 [one] tumblr post. I would work out how many combinations this is, but 26^6,000 is already considered to be "Infinity" by most calculators, and a program I wrote threw an error code.

26^95,000 is already over 134,000 characters long - which would take 33 different text blocks to convey via tumblr. Whenever somebody says we're running out of posts, don't forget that tumblr is needlessly designed for MASSIVE amounts of information [no matter how detrimental it may be for mobile phones].

There are SOME works of fanfiction which are lengthy enough that you couldn't fit the whole thing into one tumblr post, but this is enough to fit Hitchikers Guide To The Galaxy in it about 14 times over.

Don't hide that in the tags

bunch of people asked about homestuck, and… maybe? homestuck has about 817929 words, it CAN WORK if the words average 5 characters or less (5.0078).

the average word in the english language is 4.7 words, but doesnt account for spaces, but a good chunk of the words are “XX: ” which does lower it. there doesn’t seem to be a character count for homestuck anywhere that i could find
