The Subspace Emissary's Worlds Conquest

by Christian 'AuraChannelerChris'

It had been a long battle for survival, but he managed to stop the imbeciles from defeating him for real. Tabuu, though, had been weakened during the battle. As he floated along in the void of the Subspace surrounded by darkness and swirling purple and blue colors, he reflected on the disastrous end of the battle.

Master Hand had shown up right before Tabuu could terminate the big group of Smashers. As a last ditch attempt, the omnipotent hand used his space-bending powers to recall each one of the Smashers to their worlds, back into the past before they participated in the Brawl tourney and the war against the Subspace Army. He then called Crazy Hand, and both of them escaped from Tabuu's clutches, effectually putting a sudden end to the conflict for the time being…

Unfortunately, not everything was right.

The longest work of fiction ever written is based of the Story Mode of Super Smash Bros: Brawl. It is called the Subspace Emissary's Worlds Conquest and it's nearly 4 million words long. That's 13 times longer than James Joyce's novel 'Ulysses'. It was written by a 22-year-old called Christian. He is from Arizona and started writing it the day Super Smash Bros. Brawl was released back in 2008. Christian says that by the time the book is finished, he estimates that it will be about 10 million words long.

Well, this incredible piece of literature is probably my new life, I cannot survive without thinking of this at least once a day, it occupies my every thought and I do not mind. This stars my favorite characters, named Chris, and Lucario, I like Lucario because he's really strong and I want him to be my best friend, Chris is a whiny baby who doesn't deserve him like I do. I am infatuated with reading this, every word is absorbed by my eyes and processed by my brain, there is never a dull moment in this beautiful display of the English language. It's also a great read for the whole family, who could forget the classic scene where Lucario decapitates a random dog, as a show of his strength. If you ask for my personal opinion, I think Chris is a mega-furry, he seems to idolize his dog, even sleeping on the same bed as them, and occasionally cuddling them, which seems a little weird even for my standards.

I advise anyone with eyes to absorb the information this book carries, but be warned, once you start, you'll find it hard to live.

I would definitely recommend this to any smash bros fan that has 3 years of spare time. The writing starts off a little bit shaky but gets better as it goes on, the story has a surprising amount of depth and the characters are well enough thought out for this to be an official story by Nintendo it just takes a while to get going. 100% worth at least checking out.
