- AdamH12113 5y agoThat was my first thought, but it's The Tim Tebow CFL Chronicles by the same guy (John Bois).
- sharkjacobs 5y agoNo but it is another story by the same author (John Bois) in which > Tim Tebow finds himself able to do the impossible; he gets the ball and runs it to the end zone. It is then that the entire back of the stadium opens up, and it’s revealed that successful Canadian football drives don’t have a defined stopping point. They go “to street”, meaning that the team can move the ball through the city and out to the wilderness. The entire country of Canada is potentially in play, and Tim Tebow is the only person ever born who is able to take advantage of this. I loved 17776 and never heard of this but I'm keen to check it out
- WorldMaker 5y agoBased on the dates in the URLs and the synopsis, it sounds like it was a direct predecessor to 17776.
- hprotagonist 5y agomob football on steroids, i love it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_football https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_football
- mherdeg 5y agoSame author (Jon Bois). I have trouble reading longform web stuff (like Worm or Homestuck). I did get through HPMOR and All Night Laundry though!
- aidenn0 5y agoHey, Worm gets pretty good after the first half-million words :P
- jrm4 5y agoCame here for this. 17776 (and the sequel) are amazing. For context, I think I'm the kind of person who would have never gotten into football "naturally," but I grew up in and moved back to a big-time college football town, and so I think I get into it by osmosis.
- pronoiac 5y agoAh! I also loved 20020, looked forward to 20021, and that article covers how that's indefinitely postponed. Thanks!
