I’d always seen people talking about this like it was a great thing to laugh at. The chapters are grouped into “discs” of about 100 apiece (disc 3 holding 21 chapters at time of writing) like an old RPG that was too big and had to be broken up at key story points.
The fic has been running since March 2008, with its most recent chapter being in June 2018. That’s awesome! I have to give him props for finding a creative outlet to do that. The author of this monster of a piece is Christian (known online as AuraChannelerChris) and I’m way more willing to cut him some slack on some writing errors since I found out he started writing it as a way to improve his English skills. However, The Subspace Emissary’s Worlds Conquest is listed as the longest in a lot of places due to it being top for a while and these sources never being updated. Additionally, Wikipedia’s list of the longest novels lists the Urdu published Devta as the longest at over 11 million. For example, there is a fanfiction for the animated series The Loud House which has apparently passed 6 million words and another fanfiction for Kantai Collection sitting at 4.5 million words. For the record that’s more than 6.25 Les Miserables! There are arguments if this is the longest piece of fiction ever, and for a time it was, however other pieces have surpassed it in length in the past handful of years, especially since the author hasn’t updated since 2018 (though he claims it is not finished). The Subspace Emissary’s Worlds Conquest is a Super Smash Brothers fanfiction that is over 4,100,000 words long and contained in a current 221 chapters. However, little did I know that there already existed a work out there that was in the process of becoming one of the longest ever written, and I was already frequenting the website where it was hosted. When I was in high school, it seemed like the longest non-encyclopedia book my school had was either the Bible or Les Miserables. As an avid reader growing up there were times where I often wondered what the longest book ever was.
