I hope it's the 100 hours per week thing; that would at least be for a noble cause.

If it's not, though ... then: Byron! Smoke less dope!

That would be putting a more positive spin on it than I am willing to extend to ole ByrByr anymore.

After that "alien roads" and some other threads over on DN, I figure he just can't read.

(Since I was the OP on this thread, I've edited the title to reflect the new sitch.

Classic.

EDIT: I can't believe SandRider is missing this.

Off doing a Blowing Up Damn Yankees re-enactment?

Picketing the Texas 6-Man Football Rules Committee meeting, maybe?

I'm just tossing stuff out here ...

I think he's off in west Texas playing Don Quixote.

Something about windmills.

HEY! Maybe he'll see Jessica blowing by and figure out something's up!

The first thing I thought when I read of the change in titles was that it's a marketing strategy to accomplish 2 things: 1. Free Publicity ( I wonder if this is the first time they’ve pulled this shite 6 months before the publication date of a new book ). 2. Would be to distance these new books from the less then mighty PoD.
Byron’s use of the word "scheduled" above of course does nothing to dissuade me.

Hello, SAM! Welcome to the boards!

Leave it to "Gawd, I must be more tired that I thought" DUMBFUCK Byron to flub a simple message. When you want the straight shit, go to the asshole:

KJA on his MySpace blog wrote:NEW DUNE TITLE

After brainstorming together, Brian and I have decided to change the title of JESSICA OF DUNE to THE WINDS OF DUNE. We think it better conveys the large scope of the story, the epic feel of the novel, rather than implying it's just a small story about one person. Jessica is still the prominent character, but she isn't the only character and the story covers a lot of ground. The novel will be released August 4.

Along similar lines, and for similar reasons, we are also going to change the next Dune book from IRULAN to THE THRONE OF DUNE. But don't look for that one until 2011.
Sheesh.

This makes no sense at all, and therefore is typical of these idiots.

That's too bad, I wanted them to keep the titles because they reflect the theme of the Heroes of Dune. How are Winds and a Throne heroes?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

No, can't type comment...laughing too much

Well, let's see...

The wind was the real hero in Dune. Without it Paul may not have beaten the Sardaukar and Saddam was in a bad mood because they set the Lion throne down on his pinky toe.

We're one step closer to the mega-ultimate best title ever: Dunes of Dune!

Also, I took a pic at the linked thread on DN, and lol-ed at Byron and Hyp's respective avatars/sigs etc.
Poor taste indeed.

I was thinking the same thing this morning. For book #45, Kevvie and Bri-Bri will be forced to use: Sand of Dune.

What about a Gaps of Dune series where they can fill every possible second of gaps that FH fucked up by leaving in his series?

Wet Dreams of Dune

Obviously, they can't stay with one theme thoughout a complete book.

Or are they both retarded?

Cheese eatin' pretards...

Oh No! now I have to go back to DN and harass the real new title too!

Posted: **28 Feb 2009 19:24**

Bullshit. What it does is make the book look less formulaic by giving it a unique title that does not reconcile with the titles of the shitty selling books that preceded it in the series.

How dumb does he think that we are?

I'll bet that the publisher is making them do this.

I'm still waiting. He did have more time after fucking with my profile to post some more of his own shitty reviews. Still now change to the thread. Maybe he meant that kja would be changing his blog to reflect the real title.

Posted: **28 Feb 2009 22:09**

Man, even I only need to have things explained to me once.

Posted: **28 Feb 2009 22:42**

I'm completely embarrassed for Byron. Not even kidding.

At this point, I'm not convinced he gets it ... you know, the whole "Hey, dumbass, you copied-and-pasted the entire sentence, not just the part with the actual title" thing. How could anyone be so oblivious?

Hey, Byron! Since I know you lurk here, I'll do you this one favor:read KJA's blawg for the actual title.

Jesus wept. What a fucking dumbass.
