KJA is Abomination; let his water be cast upon the sand, lest he return and write a sequel about how his water is special because it has nanites in it or whatever

Kja wrote about ultraspice, derived from a special gland in SEA WORMS designed by SCYTALE that was so powerful that A GHOLA OF PAUL ATREIDES!!! After fighting ANOTHER GHOLA of HIMSELF!!!!! Said "its too much! The ultra spice is too spicey!!!" before killing himself.


Thats all real. He has defiled dune to the maximum. It feels like brian herbert is doing a contract killing of his father's legacy out of bitterness for being a bad dad

The glossary at the back of Dune mentions ships designed to Constructicon themselves together and attack strongpoints by falling on them. I think Paul mentions them once, in passing. It never comes up again.

When I was a kid I read some riddle about BEWARE THE GHOTI being a sign warning against a big fish (gh like in rough, o like in women, ti like in nation) and was convinced that ghola was a secret funny word miswritten in the same style.

I would like a heighliner because sometimes it's a bit too sunny and I could use some shade. Or a hypnobong, because they sound fun.

This is how you communicate with a fellow intelligence: you hurt it, you keep on hurting it, until you can distinguish the posts from the screams.
Everything I’ve heard says KJA is a sweet supportive gee whiz kinda guy whose somewhat :downs: books are a pure expression of his soul. His Star Wars stuff was dumb as hell but honestly preferable to what became of the EU in its later days. These tweets do make Brian seem like kind of a twit, though.

I want a cone of silence so people don't embarrass me in bars and restaurants. It'd need to be portable so I could take it into the bathroom at said establishments. At long last, the peace of the home, in public bathrooms.

Saying that KJA's writing is a pure expression of is soul is more cruel than anything I could think of to say about him.

If I remember right they started the sandworm project when it wasn't certain if they'd manage to get the secret of axlotl tank melange production from the Bene Tleilax.

I met KJA like fifteen years ago at Orycon, yeah he seemed pretty nice in person.

also I've never read any of KJA's books but my impression is he's just not a terribly imaginative guy, and while nothing I've heard makes me want to read his work I at least respect him for not being a turbo-creep like Peter loving Hamilton

KJA is pretty creepy, or maybe just an old man who should know better, based on what a friend told me about how he acted around her and other women at a convention recently.

I read The Butlerian Jihad out of morbid curiosity and that book is beyond creepy. I don’t know whether KJA or Brian Herbert is the main culprit, but there is a lot of gratuitous violence, as well as loads of creepy sexual vibes in the novel. It’s really disgusting and unnecessary.
