Nah, he's just a pussy, afraid of being hurt for reading something against him. Really good way to deal with criticism if you look at it, "If i dont see it, it isnt there"SandChigger wrote:Ah, of course:
When there's money involved, his "reservations" go out the window.
Evil AND a whore.
Talk about insecurity.Yeah, that's spot-on.Robspierre wrote:He can't write, doesn't get the recognition he craves, and all he does is bitch about how hard is "work" which he supposedly loves.

He's the worst action comic book hack writter to try and make a name for himself by defending all the retardedness in his books with the arguments that it's all very subjective and that there's no wrongs, only different character points of view that we dont get.TheDukester wrote:Yeah, that's spot-on.Robspierre wrote:He can't write, doesn't get the recognition he craves, and all he does is bitch about how hard is "work" which he supposedly loves.
For a guy who spouts off so much about his "love" for all things SF and how he just "has to" write — because, it's like, his calling, yo — Kevin J. Anderson certainly does a lot of goddamn whining.
"The travel is so hard, the deadlines are so hard, people are idiots, everything is so expensive, I never get a day off," blah, blah, fucking blah, boo-hoo, cry me a river, you insufferable loser.
The more I read, and the more research I do into his past, the more he strikes me as a fundamentally unhappy person.
I don't know what you're talking about :Nekhrun wrote:I haven't even been able to click on any of the new post links as the topics are so lame over there.SandRider wrote:damn. there's not enough activity Over There to even have something

someone needs to get a fundamentalist sockpuppet on Over There and demand Merritt spell out fully the Name of The Christ ...Over There >> Off-Topic >> Xmas 2008Merritt wrote:Getting into the Christmas spirit ... What do you want this year?Diseased Ewok wrote:cash

I'll nominate Arnoldo Fayne for the Nebula, the Board of Bored Science Fiction Dictators Award, a Grammy,Over There >> Fan-Fiction >> Leto vs Yuehfriday, Arnie wrote:Leto walked down the dark corridors of Arrakeen and heard a faint mewling in the semi-darkness. Leto thought about turning on his personal shield but reports of stolen lasguns made him hesitate as he approached the curled up figure.
“Shadout Mapes,” Leto whispered, “Who has done this to you?”
Feebly, Mapes rasped, “ Traitor, behind you. . .” And with a supreme effort Mapes raised her arm turing on Leto’s personal shield the instant before Yueh’s dart bounced harmlessly away. Yueh could not believe his plan to save his Wanna had failed as he fell upon his own knife.
“Paul. . . Jessica. . .escaped..” Wheezed Yueh, “Duncan…. will rescue..’thopter” was the last utterance Leto heard before Yueh died. Quickly Leto raced to the shield generator room where the shields had been turned off and in an instant sent a message to Duncan Idaho through a secure link.
“Take Jessica and Leto off-planet with our family atomics to Tupile” Leto roared.
“My Duke” Duncan replied over the secure channel, “The guild has denied giving any Atreides transportation off planet - - something about acusing us of destroying Guild Banks.”
The treachery to bring about the downfall of House Atreides was greater than anything Thufir had imaged, Leto thought. However he intended to give his enemies one last message before he could ever be taken prisoner.
“Duncan, I want you to take Paul and Jessica deep into the desert.” Leto voice sounded ghostly, his voice crackling through the faintly green illuminated ‘thopter speakers, as Duncan flew through a sandstorm to rescue what remained of House Atreides “Under no circumstances are you to attempt to rescue me, you’ll soon understand why –“
At that moment a group of Sardaukar burst into the shield generator room. “There is the Red Duke!” a nameless Sardaukar barked- - who was dressed in a Harkonen uniform. But before they could capture Leto he calmly turned on the house shields and smiled as he fired his lasgun at it.sunday, Arnie wrote:Startled, Jessica awoke from a vivid dream. Tears were streaming down her face as she thought,”What a useless waste of moisture.” On Caladan, Jessica never had to concern herself with water yet the tears stopped as if she was still in a dream. Jessica had been warned by her teachers to bare the Duke Leto only daughters yet she knew that she had conceived a son the previous night. As Leto layed sleeping beside her she recalled the vivid dream of Leto dying on a distant planet and her escape with her son into a blistering desert. Bits and fragments of other dreams she had in the night crept into her consciousness of a grandson raging at her in the shadows howling in pain, ‘ Why did your sisterhood not build the golden path?” Despite reciting the litany several times fear of the consequences of her disobedience to the Bene Gesserit lingered. Slowly, Jessica began to practice pranu-bindu breathing exercises to slow down her breathing . . . going deeper and deeper. When Leto awoke Jessica was gone.
OH - MY - G-D !Over There >> All Things Dune >> Love // todayOld Fremen wrote:I have never read it written more deeply or seen it acted out better then Frank Herbert writes the love between Paul and Chani. But I guess that's because it's a book but it makes me wonder if this is the type of love he felt for his wife. How could a man know how to write and describe a love so intensely unless he himself had experienced and lived with such a thing. Even the love Jessica felt for Paul and Leto or that Harah felt for Alia. He must have been a wonderful man to be related to.
He's been trying to take the place of Sloey for a while now...Arnie is evidently posting more stupidity in the fanfic forum, but I refuse to boost his thread view count by looking to see just how stupid.

Priceless, i've been meaning to make one just like that but i could'nt come up with a really good catch phrase. Awsome work Dukester.
OH NO, it's worse than that -since you won't play I'll just tell you - he's paraphrasing the original, with minor pointless detail changes, but everybody's prescient ! C'mon, just look at the second piece about Jessica's dream. You don't have to tell anybody.SandChigger wrote:Nyah. I skipped over it and didn't read it. Nyah nyah!SandRider wrote:fuck you, Chig.

I don't know...the title, "Leto and Yueh", just sounds like the kind of stupid shit Kevin and the other guy would come up with. More fan-wank crap.
This fucker's just kinda scary weird - and keeps invoking his dead wife. Creepy. And I hate to tell him but he's not the first retard over the years to try to formalize a combat system based on Dune, or a whole fucking religion for that matter.Chigger wrote:Old Fremen...hasn't he been warbling on about REAL prana-bindu and shit like that for a while? Move over newfaceduncer.
I just sent that to Merritt's email, taking full credit for authorship, of course.SandChigger wrote:General comment on "Over There": It is truly a remarkable time when Simon is the person answering the newbie questions.
