Darth Richard II Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Well, I more meant she is probably going to have a hard time finding publishers now.

polishgenius Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Ah, that person.Tbf that doesn't really fit the scope of the list or topic because she was entirely cognizant of and deliberate in what she was doing. Btw, somebody really needs to make an indie adventure game about the Happy Halfling vs the Barons of Grimdark. Scale walls with your wand of optimism! Leap the sharks of cynicism that patrol the oceans of despair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scale walls with your wand of optimism! Leap the sharks of cynicism that patrol the oceans of despair! Yes please. In fact I can't believe this hasn't happened already, especially since Dinosaur Porn is a Thing and this is not yet a Thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterbound Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Thanks, this type of stuff is funny and interesting. I knew you guys would know about it. Anyone out there take any part in it? Peterbound? Darth?....... And no. This is the only forum I post to (well, not sure if reddit and 4chan count), so all my love is dedicated to this place.

Michael Seswatha Jordan Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 And no.

Larry of the Lawn Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Someone should make a Grimdark vs Non-Grimdark chess set, but with each piece modeled after an author. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Someone should make a Grimdark vs Non-Grimdark chess set, but with each piece modeled after an author. This needs to happen, if only for the image of Joe Abercrombie as the Queen of Grimdark, wielding his deadly bannister against all comers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry of the Lawn Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 This needs to happen, if only for the image of Joe Abercrombie as the Queen of Grimdark, wielding his deadly bannister against all comers. Pretty much exactly what I had in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamjm Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Yes please. In fact I can't believe this hasn't happened already, especially since Dinosaur Porn is a Thing and this is not yet a Thing. It's surely only a matter of time until someone writes a romance novel about the starcrossed love between a moody grimdark fantasy author and an innocent young woman whose favourite stories all featured unicorns and rainbows and orphaned farmboys saving the World.

You know, if I wrote anything else in RL than technical manuals, I'd do this in a heart beat. However, in my hand it would come out in the form of a bullet pointed list.

Who is the King of Grimdark if not @lordgrimdark himself???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, in my hand it would come out in the form of a bullet pointed list. You should do that- you could sell them as outlines to a bunch of self-pub authors. It'd be like ghostwriting but without having to put the finishing touches on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuenjato Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Very important, but not very fast- it's clearly GRRM. Where is Bakker, then? Bishop, given the underlying themes of his work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry of the Lawn Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 No, Bakker should be whatever piece you choose from advancement, after you've slogged a pawn all the way across the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buff daddy Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Whatever piece Bakker is, it would need a pretty tall base so as to prevent those pendulous parts from scratching the board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
