I'm Challenging KJA to a Dune Trivia Contest

Post by Sandwurm88 »

I am E-mailing him a proposal asking for a friendly trivia contest over AIM or E-mail.
This is what the email says:

Dear KJA,
I am a big Dune fan, and was wondering if I could challenge you to a friendly Dune trivia contest, perhaps over instant messaging of email. The rules would be I can ask you questions about the original six Dune books (obviously asking you about your own books would be unfair) and you could ask me any question of any of the over-a-dozen Dune books. This is something that I sort have been wanting to do for a while, and although I'm still only a teenager, I have read the original 6 over 5 times all the way through easily ( probably 10 for GEoD). I have also read all of your books.

Cordially requested
-A Dune Fan

(Here I included my AIM)


Sometimes ya gotta be polite and civil.

KJA: Norma was prescient and changed it.

KJA would never agree to the challenge, because he knows he would lose. In fact, I doubt he will even "dignify" your request with a response, since turning it down would pretty much be an admission to the fact that Anderjacket doesn't know his Dune.

Still, props for trying.

Why do you think I came over to Jacurutu? Because I'm a glutton for punishment?

I do not think anyone on the MB or anywhere else, the one exception would be Brian could demonstrate more dune knowledge then Kevin. He has access to notes that none of you(or me) will ever see. Those notes had secrets of dune from Frank himself. Im glad some of you enjoy Kevin’s work.

That's as stupid as KJA's books, unsuprisingly. A trivia contest should be based on FH's published books only. We do not have access to FH's notes so he could make up whatever answer he wants, which it seems they do in their books.

By the way, in English, we write, "more dune knowledge than Kevin", super-genius.

English is my second language so I am sorry for the grammar error. I did not mean to offend anyone, especially not the MOD, I should have write IMO Kevin is a master of dune knowledge and could win a trivia with anyone other then Brian Herbert.

So if his knowledge of Dune is so immense, then do you claim that his deviations from Frank's work are deliberate? Why would he do such a thing?
