Lord Qwerty Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I notice that a lot of bashing goes on in a lot of threads. I don't mind, but sometimes it takes over the original purpose of the thread. So I decided a special thread for bashers and fans to get together to argue/discuss with eachother over the flaws of particular authors. If it works out properly, this thread will outlive us all... :bow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Marquis de Leech Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Terry Brooks: the guy responsible for opening the door for so much bad fantasy. The Sword of Shannara. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sToNED_CAT Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Screw you, Marion Zimmer Bradley. Second that. I hated her books and her stupid lesbian feminist heroines with passion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahimsa Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 and I hate that hack George RR Martin. So dark and depressing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Sneachd Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 goodkind is teh sux0r I hereby defend Goodkind. His writing is so incredibly bad that it has made me laugh more than any work of proper comedy for quite a while. I hate Diana Gabaldon with a passion. Can you have a heroine that not everybody wants to rape every other chapter, please? And less bad, inconsequent attempts at scots too? I don't get the hype.

Ahimsa Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Actually let me add Ernest Hemingway to the list...I can't stand that frickin' guy. Most overrated author since...well...ever really I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 David Eddings can go jump in the river and take L. Ron Hubbard's corpse with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asa Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Robert Jordan - Learn to summarize. Terry Goodkind - New career. Author of Eragon - Should be forced to fight with the above two in a death match. That's what we need! A bad author death match free for all, where the winner gets to continue writing as long as he/she isn't Robert Jordan or Goodkind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multaniette Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Elizabeth Haydon - The worst of Jordan, Goodkind, Eye of Argon, Harlequin, Barbara Cartland, Mills & Boon and erotica fanfiction writing rolled into one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xray the Enforcer Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Elizabeth Haydon - The worst of Jordan, Goodkind, Eye of Argon, Harlequin, Barbara Cartland, Mills & Boon and erotica fanfiction writing rolled into one. I'm surprised it doesn't create a rip in the spacetime continuum, if it's truly that bad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misses Mannion's Panties Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I second Hemmingway. I read a story by him once for a lit class. A guy gets off a train, and walks to a river. He sets up camp, puts bait on a fishing hook, and fishes for a while. Then he cooks a can of beans over a fire, eats them, and goes to sleep. That's it. That's the whole fucking story.

Sophelia Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I read an Eddings book once. From what I recall, the book can be summed up thus: "Reformed thief achieves nirvana after having sex with his cat". It was called 'The Redemption of Althalus". I don't think 'Althalus' was the cat.

Maid Sansa Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Well, Soph, all the other ones can be summed up as: "A group of heroes gad all over a badly-drawn, implausible map in pursuit of a mystically glowing blue stone." *bashes Eddings with Brienne's blue mace to match her eyes* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multaniette Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I'm surprised it doesn't create a rip in the spacetime continuum, if it's truly that bad... It does. Hayden's reputation was the first thing to disappear. Now only if we can chuck Goodkind and his inept henchmen into it as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
