Bazzlebane Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Given the small number of posters that frequent that official site, I think we have more people discussing Goodkind here on the Martin forum then they ever have. In fact, we're burning the place up with two multi-page threads on the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faceless Man Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Anyone who wants a laugh, make a new sn on his site and observe. Some sweet person is pissing the hell out of everyone and they're posting in all the threads. It's hilarious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaxom 1974 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Yeah...be sure to leave off...visit there if you want, it's a free world (I think), but leave it at that...laugh all we want with what goes on there, that is where it should end. Let them have their little world...and then they'll stay out of ours... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevor Clegane Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I love your Goodkind board werewolf! Good God, you people have taken imposterism to a new level. Although some of the mockery is damn obvious, there's enough convincing characters on there to create some confusion. Some of you are frighteningly good at being Goodkind fans. This has made my week, honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faceless Man Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 i am just visiting. and laughing at the dude who was posting. they just stopped.

MaroonedHopes Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 With the name he has, Zedd needs an american chopper. Vroom! I'm sure he can't. Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead. (BTW, does Zedd die in SoT? I wouldn't know, considering I haven't read any of the books [which doesn't mean I won't talk about and ridicule them]). The writing may not be much ("dry mud" anyone?), but it takes a certain genius -- and outright dedication -- to write something as truly plagiaristic and ludicrous as this book. Think of it as "Red Asphalt" for fantasy epics. Heh, dry mud. That's like "solid water". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mme Erzulie Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Don't be pissed cause all'a'yall don't get Terry's use of contradictory terms to paint vivid linguistic pictures. You're like hot ice, the lot of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Tigernuts Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 If the stomach can handle it (and the soul won't wither) I urge you to finish the story. Because it doesn't really start to cook until Terry busts out the cheep S&M, a villian eats a small child, a warrior princess makes a man eat his own testicle, Richard builds a roof, and a blatant rip-off Gollum attempts to steal a magic sword. The writing may not be much ("dry mud" anyone?), but it takes a certain genius -- and outright dedication -- to write something as truly plagiaristic and ludicrous as this book. Think of it as "Red Asphalt" for fantasy epics. It sounds engrossing, but I have a coupon for a discounted frontal lombotomy at "Dr Nic's Lombotomy R Us" to cash in first.

Watcher Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Here is a great review of Chainfire. http://www.firstscience.com/site/editor/09...gs_04032005.asp The guy might be on to something here. Secondly, the series has got so rightous that clearly it just HAS to be a parody. The whole thing is a bit like that scene in Airplane where a whole queue of people line up to slap the woman and tell her to get a grip. Goodkind is clearly having us on. He can't possibly believe this stuff? I reckon he must be having a chuckle when he writes some of the lines. He has a knack of saying something in ten pages that could be explained in ten lines.

Werthead Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 I was flying back from a business trip to Orlando last night and the gentleman sitting next to me in the plane was reading "Chainfire." I couldn't stop laughing everytime I looked at him, intently flipping pages. I have this thread to thank that the mere sight of a Goodkind book causes me to giggle like a child. That's a beautiful story. It brings a tear to my eye Do you realize that if you google Terry Goodkind you get this thread on the third page...hey, man, you are fucking famous..you have been googled...in fact I came here from the google page...may I have your autograph... Better hope Terry Baby dosen't google... So what if he does? In the words of the guy melted into the driveway in the first Chicken Fight episode of Family Guy... BRING IT ON !!!!

Xray the Enforcer Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 (sorry, stressful day ) oh yes! I've found all kinds of psychological solace in talking about terry goodkind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted January 14, 2006 Author Share Posted January 14, 2006 Oh classic! http://www.christianfantasy.net/terrygoodkind.html Goodkind is an offence unto God! Officially! Actually an interesting website which reviews books solely on their sex/gore content and their suitability for a Christian audience. A slightly odd way of reviewing books, but some of their stuff is amusing (on WoT: "This series will be concluded shortly after the author's death.") No Martin reviews though. Guess the reviewer fainted at the first incest/child defenestration scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Septon Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 So...the bad guys are really called Darken Rahl and Mord Sith? The best thing about Goodkind's "I don't write fantasy"-approach is that he injects new, original thoughts into the genre And there is an epic S&M-scene in WFR which is totally irrelevant to the plot? Goodkind is almost ascending into mythical status now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
