Atlanta Nights, a Landmark Film, Has Been Released TODAY!

    Get ready for an electrifying cinematic experience! The long-awaited film adaptation of the legendary novel Atlanta Nights is now here to hit the silver screen!

Atlanta Nights: A Tale of Literary Rebellion

Setting: The vibrant city of Atlanta, where dreams collide, and words ignite. Plot: A daring author conspires to create the most hilariously awful novel ever penned. His mission? To expose a publishing giant’s true colors. Conflict: As the nonsensical plot unfolds, grammatical errors run rampant, and coherence takes a vacation, the publishing world trembles.  Cast: A motley crew of characters, each with their quirks and a shared goal: to craft a masterpiece of literary disaster. Release Date: TODAY, as part of the Twenty Years Young Celebration!

Why You Can’t Miss It: Laughs Guaranteed: Prepare for belly-aching laughter as sentences twist into pretzels and logic takes a vacation.
Meta Magic: Witness the magic behind the scenes—the birth of a literary legend and the unraveling of a publishing empire.
Banana-Sized Anticipation: It’s like waiting for 46,449 bananas to ripen simultaneously!

Tickets: Grab yours soon! Because when Atlanta Nights hits theaters, it’ll be a literary explosion you won’t want to miss!

April Fools!

    And with that, this massive joke has been exposed like an... uh, unpeeled banana! That description, as well as this film's script AND its voice acting AND its official description, was all generated by artificial intelligence! It's a testament to the fact that, yes, artificial intelligence CAN do these things, but not necessarily do them well. This film was more of a proof of concept for the need for human agency in any creative works that quickly turned into a so-bad-it's-good, engineered cult classic that even the development team couldn't help but laugh at! One thing is for certain, though: while everyone agrees that the hipness-gone-wrong of Rap-Trick has finally been beaten for the best April Fool's Day joke, that begs the question of how to top THIS joke!

    On a related note, this also begs the question of how this film fits into the official cinematic universe. Long and short answer: it doesn't. Because this version of the story of the book's development contradicts what actually happened (a group of Sci-Fi writers, upset over PublishAmerica's attack on Sci-Fi and their reputation as a vanity press, retaliate by collectively writing the worst Harlequin-style romance novel ever created, exposing PublishAmerica), this violates the canon's rules about adhering to known world history. Because of this, this film is not canonical.
