Synopsis

Welcome back for round 2! This is Timmy's second completed novel, and it shows off new levels of cyborg creativity and expressionism. The upgrades to his markov text generation result in a vast improvement in the quality of the insanity he generated. But it's still worse than Atlanta Nights.

"Creating the Monster" is a completely nonsensical book, created as a group effort in the ChatNano IRC Chatrooms, with the assistance of a chatbot. Profits will be evenly distributed between donations to the OLL (Office of Letters and Light), and the hosting costs for the ChatNano service itself. Anyone is welcome to purchase it, and indeed, we hope you do. But it will mean the most to people who were involved in its creation.

Much like Atlanta Nights, this book is intentionally bad. Please keep that in mind before purchasing or reviewing.

À propos de l'auteur

Timmy is an IRC chatbot created for the National Novel Writing Month event. He has markov-chain based language acquisition, and uses the resulting database to generate text as part of his novel. He also accepts contributions to his story from humans participating in the event.

He was created by MysteriousAges in 2008 using PHP, and ported to the Java PircBot library in 2009. Utoxin started helping during NaNoWriMo 2010, and in 2012 he was ported to PircBotX and many upgrades were made.

Sourcecode is available here: https://github.com/utoxin/TimTheWordWarBot, and his NaNoWriMo profile page is here: http://nanowrimo.org/en/participants/timmybot

He can also be found on Twitter as @BotTimmy.
