Hello from nowhere.

Hi.

I figured I should register if I'm gonna read around. Kinda like a vote in your favor I guess.

I picked up a copy (i.e. found) of Dune when I took a twelve hour train ride through the Western desert in India during an artist residency. I'm about to finish Chapterhouse and I am already lamenting the end of something I love.

My friends are so sick of hearing about Dune, I'm sure some of you can relate.

Anyway, "Hi" again. I'll be around.

-ST

Welcome. Your Water is Ours.





I take it you have not read the NoDune.
(ie fanfic by keith j. hackerson & that other guy)

DO NOT. for the love of the little baby jesus, keep your mind pure & clean.
read here about how horrible and disgusting they are, but there is NO REASON
to read it yourself. SandChigger will do that for you. Trust Him. Hate Keith.
That's all you need to know .....

Welcome. The guys are mostly harmless around here. But I doubt that you could ever find another group of guys and gals who know more about Dune than the regulars on here. (myself not included in that)

I hope you will like it here. And I hope that we get to know more about you. Take a seat, hang on tight, and enjoy the ride. There are many here who can answer any questions you might have about the Universe that is Dune.

Yea, forget that new stuff, unless you enjoy finding reason to bash yourself in the forehead with thick books.

Welcome, and fear not, there are plenty of other good FH books. Just expect no sympathy nor quarter for the BH/KJA "Dune" fanfictions.

Welcome, I felt the same way at the end of Chapterhouse - listen to those who warn of the new "dune" authors though... they are terrible beyond description. Like someone said though, there is plenty of great FH writing out there for you still.
