Being theKJA means being utterly incapable of laughing at yourself(and writing a good story but that's another one... or maybe not since that could be why he's such a douche)

Although, it would have been nice if they had finished the inquels first, but as long as they get back to those once they're finished with the schools, then that's okay with me. I'm still working my way through some of the other DUNE novels I haven't read yet anyway. Every time I think I've read all that can possibly take place in the DUNE universe, I open up another book (whether an original by Frank Herbert or one of the continuations by the team of Brian and Kevin) and am constantly blown away with the story told within the covers no matter who writes it. This is a universe that can be explored long after Brian and Kevin have passed away and should definitely be kept within the Herbert family under Herbert control as Brian has done and if future generations want to use the help of another author too like he did then I hope they find another good one like Kevin. I see a lot more that can be told in the history of this universe going back to the past before the DUNE saga begins, and far into the future beyond the DUNE saga. As much as I'm looking forward to the Hellhole trilogy, I am definitely a DUNE fan and am glad that Brian and Kevin are filling in as many gaps as they can with the material Frank left behind.

LAUGH OUT LOUD!!!! No, but seriously... I am also looking forward to the Hellhole trilogy, David, as I am a great fan of the Space Opera. Will there be singing in SISTERHOOD as well?
Yeah, I don't know what that's supposed to mean. It's just the stupidest thing I could think of at the time.

I read on the internet that Kevin J. Anderson is writing Battlestar Galactica interquels ....
I read on the internet that Kevin J. Anderson is writing an EU Farscape ....
I read on the internet that Kevin J. Anderson is writing the Stargate prequel ...
I read on the internet that Kevin J. Anderson has been given the go ahead to re-boot Star Trek from the ground up ...
I read on the internet that Kevin J. Anderson is working on the screenplay for Avatar II ....
&etc ...
team up in twos and threes and post on these fan forums, planting and confirming these rumors ...
create twitter sockpuppets and disperse this disinformation ... let's see how wide a handful of "malcontents"
can spread that sweet KJA-hate ....

Oh, I see. Good idea. I've talked to someone who's willing to post on Facebook for me. Sockpuppets within sockpuppets. ????? is a sockpuppet of Buck Turgidson is a sockpuppet of Merkin Muffley is a sockpuppet of ??????. This is way better than XBOX, or sleeping with a lady (I'm guessing).
"I must admit, you have an astonishingly good idea there, Doctor...."
Let me get this right. Byron "the coward" Merrit says there are at this time no fanfic stories?
Really!
I remember vividly reading two novel sized alternative Dune 7 books named "Dune Revenant" and "Dune Advent" and BOTH are better than the shite the two idiots have published so far.
Tool!
Edit: I wrote Revelation instead of the correct title Dune Revenant.

Official Dune wrote:Earlier this week, at the Dinner for Schmucks' premiere, Adam Scott told us he and Paul Rudd had recently had, while shooting their new movie My Idiot Brother, a "Kyle MacLachlan moment." Unclear as to what the hell a "Kyle MacLachlan moment" is, we got Rudd to give us the details: "Yeah, last night we were talking about Dune and we kept saying the Dune line, “Father, the sleeper has awakened,” and I was holding a toothbrush under my nose pretending like it was the thing that’s in Kyle MacLachlan's’s nose in Dune. And then Kyle MacLachlan's here today. It’s a little like being in the Twilight Zone. I want to tell him the sleeper has awakened."

Peter Griffin is a preek????? For shame, for shame. By the way if any photo shop savey(is that spelled right?) indivduals could airbrush some chin-balls on that guy, it would make my day.
According to some accounts, that wouldn't be necessary, because his whole head is a giant testicle. (That's why he was "brave" enough to join here and relieve himself on the floor cushions, but not smart enough to do much else. Like answer the hard questions directed at him.)
Yet other accounts hold that he has no balls whatsoever. His being a eunuch would explain the corpulence.
(For me, personally, if he also turns out to have a high-pitched squeally piglet voice... Mmmm, I would just lie down and die and go straight to Heaven. Like this: )

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.
