This is a thread dedicated to a civilized discussion of the prequels and the sequels. It's design is similar to a AA group discussions- we will each take a turn, and say how the 'new authors' have changed us, and will vocalize how we feel about it. We will each take a turn, saying how we feel about it, and what we fantasize doing- not what we will actually do- just what we imagine doing if w could. I think it's a important part of the healing process to vocalize and discuss, in a orderly and controlled manner, our internal feeling. I've seen randomly posted around the site some people's comments- their scary mad wishes- of the new books..... and I think having a official mutual support thread where everyone can talk about their feelings openly without risk of shame or embarrassment would be a great chance for all of us to offload out burden, perhaps in the future of this discussion to even move on and grow.
The first round of Questioning:
1) How do you feel about Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson? How has their works impacted their life, and how often a day do you think about them?
2) What is your feelings regarding the word 'Talifan', and do you feel you are one? Do you feel you're unjustly labeled as one? What qualifies one as a Talifan, and how do you differ?
3) What is your motivations for posting everyday? Is it a sense of community, and if community, what is the common esprite that binds your group together? What is your group like on a bad day, and on a good day? What experiences have remained with your as positive, and negative?
4) How often do you read the new author's Twitter, Mypage, Facebook, Google, Forum, or random posted news about them on the internet? Once a year, monthly, weekly, daily, on the hour, every hour? Do you build conspiracy theories showing how pathetic they are whenever they happen to make a comment on their accounts that somewhat resembles something people have posted here on this site recently? Does it make you feel strong and empowered to accuse them of reading what you say- or accuse them of paying occasional attention when you stalk them, creating a elaborate, deeply pathetic fantasy world that they indeed are the real stalkers?
5) When is the last time you've read Dune? Do you read and write about the new books made by the new authors more than Frank's books? If so, why do you claim to be a Dune fan, when your clearly much more of a fan of these later authors, and not as much a fan of Frank Herbert? How does it make you feel at night, when you go to bed, or wake up in the morning, looking to the day ahead, knowing it will be filled with images of KJA and BH dancing around in your head? Do you ever wish it could be otherwise?
6) When you hear of people on the street disparage Tom Cruise and the Scientology in the same manner people mock you and your fellow cultist here on this site, does it make you feel bad, does it give you a tingling of sympathy via shared recognition with Tom, or does it make you feel angry that people who don't obviously understand a god damn fucking thing are confusing you with that talented assclown who's only famous for dancing in his underwear decades ago while wearing sunglasses and holding his sodomy broom in his hand?
Let the healing being- who's going first?
