Re: Twitter Wars!
Dune has not gone out of print for nearing fifty years.
I really don't know if any mcDune has made it past a 'first edition, second printing.'
AND
as if you didn't know, AMP IS DA MAN!

Leto II is gone for good, except for OM. The "pearl" was just that; a miniscule portion of what Leto was, and not a compressed version of the whole. The pearl that the worms have do not make them Leto, or in any way similar to him.

It’s just the place where you stop the story. And one of the reasons, by the way, why in the book “Dune” I stop it the way I do, deliberately building up a carrying momentum, as though you were going down a slide and then just chopping it…

I remember there being at least one but I'm trying to block all that stuff out.

Re: Twitter Wars!
I just find it weird he'd mention asteroids so often.
Or maybe that because he's got a master in astrophysics (or whatever he calls it)

Nah, that is giving him too much credit. The asteroid comment is a reminder that Keith reads everything we post here and by "editing" out the asteroid, he is acting like "God" over us and "preventing" his demise.

Re: Twitter Wars!
Yeah I was being sarcastic ^^
Everyone knows the hack knows nothing, about anything...
I was trying to figure out dates and a chronology for these mentions, it does seems like a jibe to "us", but I thought he didn't care ?
Looking for that post by D Pope where keith says something like
"if an asteroid hit that panel, it would be the end of the genre [of fantasy]"
So just in case he does read...
KEITH YOU SUCK ! STAY OFF MY DUNE OR SUFFER THE HUMILIATION OF FINDING YOUR BOOKS AT THE BOTTOM OF A SHELF IN A CHARITY SHOP (yes right next to your star wars and xfiles turds)
you are not and will never be a writer, let alone one of the level reached by Frank Herbert, so just stick to editing stories for mentally challenged people and all will be fine.

Re: Twitter Wars!
From my close observation of writers... they fall into two groups: 1) those who bleed copiously and visibly at any bad review, and 2) those who bleed copiously and secretly at any bad review.lotek wrote:...but I thought he didn't care ?

Keith is the visible type.

Keith is the type who, when you point out an error with a page number and a direct quote and a paragraph explaining why its an error, he'll say "they probably just haven't read the book".
