Larry. Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Time to combine Tairy talk with Abercrombie, as quoted here: Before They Are Hanged is the second book of "The First Law" by Joe Abercrombie. (Which reminds me of the old story -- I'm not sure if it's true or not -- that Terry Goodkind's first novel was named Wizard's First Rule because he wanted the whole series to follow that title style: Wizard's Second Rule, Wizard's Third Rule, and so on. According to the story, Goodkind was convinced by someone at Tor, his publishing house, that this was not necessarily the best way to create a series identity.) Abercrombie's series looks to derive more from Glen Cook and Steven Erikson than from Goodkind, but he writes big, bloody epic fantasy, so he's in the same ballpark either way. Before They Are Hanged is a trade paperback from Pyr, and will be published March 4th. If only Tairy would have named his books this way...what originality, what vision, what a giant!

Yeah. What the heck? TG certainly didn't step up and choose life there, did he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diabloblanco18 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 If only Tairy would have named his books this way...what originality, what vision, what a giant! Truly, such a naming scheme would have revolutionized the fantasy genre. ...from the outside. Yeah. Terry doesn't write fantasy. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Okay, own up, who is posting as The Shining Enigma on Malazanempire? I refuse to believe this can be an actual fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wolf Maid Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 Okay, own up, who is posting as The Shining Enigma on Malazanempire? I refuse to believe this can be an actual fan. Wert, sad thing is, we have no idea. WLU? Agulla? Will? Tairy himself? Me? Mystar? Pat? The list of possibilities are endless. Although it could be possible that truth will be stranger than fiction, and Enigma would turn out to be an ACTUAL fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diabloblanco18 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 In a few weeks time, maybe will have a soap opera. Who knows. So...who do you think is bearing TSE's love child? Or is TSE doing the childbearing? Both? Neither? The episode where he/she/it reveals it all can't come soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wolf Maid Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 So...who do you think is bearing TSE's love child? Triskele. Mpreg would be the twist. *is shot* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deluge Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Aristotle understood that there is only one reality, which is the one we perceive. I would like to kindly direct Mr. Goodkind to the works of Mr. Heisenberg. Does anyone know how I could go about doing that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A meaningless gesture. Mr. Goodkind has not perceived the works of Mr. Heisenberg, and therefore they do not exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pita Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 ... Heisenburg exists, because anything otherwise would be a subjective view of reality, and those are idiocies given out by those who hate truth and want us all to suffer with their substitution for our reality, an obvious fallacy of common sense and knowledge. GAH! TAIRY SPEECH BE HARD! I feel Agulla's pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mme Erzulie Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 You missed a few great quotes from the interviews. as for the link, I'll see if I can hunt it down. It's a pretty popular pic, I think. Hm. I like(d) it . Triskele. Mpreg would be the twist. *is shot* Less fan fiction, more picture hunting. I need this picture to rise up and live my life.

Dumas Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 If one is surrounded by Objectivists and Yeardites, is it choosing life to commit suicide to escape their stupidity? If I understand the doctrine correctly, one is supposed to act to preserve one's own happiness and interests. It makes no one happy to have one's IQ drained out the ears and put up with insufferable pricks. Therefore, it is preferable to die than to put up with them. On the other hand, it would also be choosing life to just kill the lot of them. But that is exactly what one of them would do and that does not sit well with me. Truly a quandary.

Exa Inova Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I am too morally superior to take this bait. Clearly from this post you lack the maturity to understand Mr. Goodkind's works and that is why you enjoy this amaturish thread so much. I'm sure this is redundent, but is everyone aware that if they really want, they can go here and from there, if they really want, they can go here.? Clicking on these links is like watching porn at work; you feel pathetic and just hope no one catches you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nous Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I would like to kindly direct Mr. Goodkind to the works of Mr. Heisenberg. Does anyone know how I could go about doing that? I wander into a Goodkind thread with trepidation, but I'd like to know exactly what the impossibility of measuring accurately both the location and the momentum of a particle has to do with there being only one reality we perceive? I presume you're talking about the uncertainty principle, since that is what Heisenberg is famous for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
