Deornoth Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 How long has it been since 'Confessor' has been published? I'm only asking because I noticed that it's already part of the Waterstones clearance sale... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mashiara Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I'll try to comply. I've already posted a couple of times in the previous thread. I couldn't even begin to aspire to reach your levels of lemming-ness. But count me in as a new disciple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriele Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 No ceremonies involved, but swearing the oath would be good. Ah good. I was afraid I had to ritually torture a virgin, and that always leaves bloodstains on the carpet. Not to mention virgins are difficult to come by, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't even begin to aspire to reach your levels of lemming-ness. But count me in as a new disciple. I have high levels of Lemmingness? That is as great for me as if TG would come to my doorstep and tell me how much of a crap author he is and give me all of his moneys. Well, almost.

Ecchi-Oni Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Ah good. I was afraid I had to ritually torture a virgin, and that always leaves bloodstains on the carpet. Not to mention virgins are difficult to come by, Torturing a virgin is not gonna work unless you're a hot chick who looks good in red leather, but kicking an 8 year old in the jaw is always an option if you want a ritual.

I don't know if I look hot in red leather. Shall I get me some and have pic taken so you can judge yourself? Btw, I love your sig line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shevchyk Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 The English section of the Moscow House of Books has one novel by TG (Confessor) and several about a dozen + novels by Sidney Sheldon and Danielle Steele and Tom Clancy. TG: Can't even get the love in Russia. (Vengeance, motherfucker, is a dish best served with pathetic numbers!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myshkin Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 TG getting no love from the home of pinko commies? There's a no brainer if I've ever heard one. Those silly pinkos should be embracing Tairy's truth rather than hiding from it! Perhaps we should send Mystar to straighten them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wolf Maid Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Welcome to the new Lemmings! I'll just repeat what the others have said: Don't Feed the Yeard, and for the love of all that is not Tairy, do not troll. Ah good. I was afraid I had to ritually torture a virgin, and that always leaves bloodstains on the carpet. Not to mention virgins are difficult to come by, Well, we could always use a goat, I suppose. Not really. There is a specific reason why I have this username. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paladin of Ice Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 For those who haven't had the pleasure of being acquainted with it, tvtropes.org is a great and fun site categorizing different common tropes used in TV, film, books, anime, videogames, etc. I thought the readers of these Goodkind threads would enjoy the characterization of his work in the very last example of this category, Strawman Political.

The Wolf Maid Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 In a particularly Anvilicious case of Writer On Board and Author Filibuster, in the Sword of Truth books author Terry Goodkind has done the strawman routine on everything from liberalism to socialism to traditional religion to democracy in order to show that true freedom and enlightened rule can only come about under the rule of an Objectivist benevolent dictator who exhibits his fine morality with acts such as ordering the murder of entire cities of his enemies, (specifically including civilians and especially teachers), riding down peace protesters "Armed with only their hatred of moral clarity", and arguing how they must live their lives free from backwards religious beliefs because there can be no proof of life beyond death... despite the main character having extensive experience with spirits. Oh, how I love TVtropes. Thanks PoI. I didn't know it was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriele Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Speaking of sigs, where did you get yours? Oh, *blushes* Kormac Halvdanson is a Sword & Sorcery character I invented. He was on my mind when I looked for a sig because I'm just writing a story about him for an anthology, and instead of getting on with it, I spent way too much time on Westeros, despite that damn deadline.

Mossman Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 His Royal Yeardness was interviewed on the Dragonpage podcast today. I normally like that podcast, but they basically drooled all over him and laughed uproariously at anything remotely humorous he said. They didn't ask him one single tough question. He wasn't as bad as he's been in some of the print interviews I've read, but still very full of himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzanth Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 His Royal Yeardness was interviewed on the Dragonpage podcast today. Aha! The Yeard has revealed his master plan! His series is naught but a ploy to "deforest North America!" Also, it certainly sounded like he is planning on writing more. Afraid I couldn't make it through the whole thing. The people interviewing him were absolutely horrid. Came across as a bunch of idiotic suck-ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danro Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Oh, *blushes* Kormac Halvdanson is a Sword & Sorcery character I invented. Well, it's a good thing he didn't drown in Mälaren after all. I prefer it with as few floating corpses as possible. (It does have countless small islands suitable for a holmgång though. Good research!)

He wasn't as bad as he's been in some of the print interviews I've read, but still very full of himself. In that interview Goodkind came as close to sounding like a normal, well adjusted person as he has ever come. I think Goodkind must have made a New Year resolution- "Don't act like a jerk to everyone you meet." Or maybe he was visited by the three ghosts of Christmas and shown the error of his ways? Except for the mini-rant against fan fiction where it sounded like his inner demons were struggling to loose their chains, I might be inclined to think we have witnessed the birth of a New Terry!
