Callan S. Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 None of it refers to Meppa, so it doesn't matter... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Seswatha Jordan Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I'm having Bakker thread withdrawal...NO PAGE 2 ON THE SLOG! Surely, we can talk about Meppa or Moe the Manipulator. Come on, hurry, or I'll will be going to rehab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhom Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I may be losing it...My four year old son was taking his good sweet time getting out of the shower, so I told him no TV before bed...

When me and the kids wrestle of a night, my daughter (5) says, "Daddy do your Noir Kikoka, pleeeaaaase!". I let out a big warcry and say, "My name is Cnaüir urs Skiötha, and I am the Breaker of Horses and Men!". Then I proceed to go Ultimate Warrior on them. I feel like a beast and they absolutely love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anatúrinbor Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Why hasn't Bakker released that chapter yet, anyway? I thought he was waiting until the final final version of the manuscript was done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, I believe I heard somewhere that Madness advise against it because there are a bunch of reveals in that chapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last update that I'm aware of was that he was waiting for the official release date. Only then will he part with a merest fraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madness Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 Weak personality, Kalbear. I also don't know what portion I would advocate sharing (if Bakker actually heeded anything I suggest about self-promotion). Definitely, his intended preview is too much information - for the fandom and for newcomers. The original preview was a good portion to pick. And even in giving it some thought now - I just don't know. As I wrote in the "To Madness..." thread on SA, a lesser writer wouldn't have written PON at all and might have settled for TAE and TSTSNBN. Bakker has spent five books setting the stage for a truly awe-inspiring story and thus everything in VI is mind-wrenching. Again, from Quorum and then "To Madness..." thread, it's the maddening way Bakker's assembled the pieces he's given us over five volumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
profgrape Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 The idea of it being somehow too much info for a preview only makes me more curious!But looking back to preview chapters for other series', I couldn't remember any that are truly revelatory; that stuff is usually left for the book. What we did get is pretty awesome, actually: the first appearance (in the books, at least) of a major character! And it definitely left me wanting more. So maybe it's a good choice after all?"Maddening" is a good word to describe everything about this series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
