Creator: Marcel Ray Duriez
Challenge Duration: 32 Consecutive Days
Platform: TikTok (and optionally livestream simulcast on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook)

🔖 Overview

The TikTok Talk & Ticks Challenge is a bold and immersive reading performance created by Marcel Ray Duriez, aimed at sharing the world’s longest novel — the Nevaeh Saga — with the global audience. This challenge involves reading aloud selections from all 92+ books of the Nevaeh Saga, spanning over 55,500 pages and 10 million words, over a 32-day period in daily serialized TikTok video segments and livestreams.

🎯 Purpose

  • To celebrate the literary achievement of the Nevaeh Saga, which has officially surpassed In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust as the longest known novel in history.
  • To connect with a global audience through the TikTok platform using real-time engagement, storytelling, and live reactions.
  • To advocate for literacy, perseverance, and creative endurance.
  • To seek public recognition, potentially including Guinness World Records and literary award bodies.
  • To explore identity, transformation, and emotional resonance — key themes found across the Nevaeh Saga — in a live, performative, and interactive manner.
