Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

OP generously assumes that not only will people read their books, but also care about the subsequent shenanigans

That's why they gotta be a famous author first.

Yeah, this would work if Patrick Rothfuss ever released book 3 of the King killer Chronicals.

Ah okay, I wasn’t sure if famous meant best selling. Like Camus is famous but he’s not best selling.

Camus can do but Sartre is smartre.

Books of course do get read. It happens sometimes.

Yes, OP used the word 'If'.

And that a book written in such a way to support 10 different endings would be good enough to support online arguments.

Idk, people love mystery boxes

Depends on the type of book and how much of it would be rewritten for each ending i could see the possibility of it being good and supporting enough endings, it would just be a lot of work.
