dunenovels.com : a question
My Young Brethren, a question:
as I have stated, I am an Old Man, unfamiliar with Ways of the Net
I have seen dunenovels.com promoted as the “Official Website of Dune”
however, after wandering aimlessly there
and then discovering the other forums,
is not this “website” in fact a “free hosted forum” ?
(as is JACURUTU) ?
the question:
why, with the Untold Wealth now available to The Heirs,
is the “Official” site such a cheap, shoddy, Un-interesting place ?
do they not realise the Disservice they are doing Themselves ?
a man going to this site would conclude that the Corporation
that has become the Dune Legacy is either un-interested in
providing content to their public, is incapable of doing so,
or is, in fact, managed by fools ....

The webmaster of the Dune Novels website is Mike Anderson, uncle of Kevin J. Anderson.
It is unclear whether he is paid for his services, or whether the free and pervasive links to his nephew's website which he is allowed to place throughout DN represent some sort of payment in kind.
Dune Novels is a thoroughly uninteresting and uninspiring site. But given who's controlling it, why should it be anything else?

my thanks
ahhh, you see ?
I did NOT understand
somehow, I had only discovered the Boy's Forum,
and thought THAT to be the website itself
but, on perusing the actual site
I find that it is ghafla as well

dunenovels.com/FAQs:
In the DUNE classic, Jessica tells Yueh that they have known
each other for six years. How can this be when she meets him
in HOUSE CORRINO? Also in the DUNE classic, Yueh wonders
why Wandra never gave him children. In the prequels we are told
that she lost her womb in an industrial accident.
There is more to the story (fifteen years between HOUSE CORRINO
and DUNE), and we will fill in the answers in a planned later volume.
While Jessica met Yueh briefly when he was tending Rhombur, the
doctor did not come to be a part of the Atreides household‹and close
to Jessica -- until six years before DUNE. Yueh later learns that Wandra¹s
injury did not, in fact, make her incapable of bearing children -- but the
Sisterhood had commanded her not to conceive
WHO THE FUCK IS WANDRA ????

I wanna girl,
just like the girl
that married dear old...Yueh!
Her name was Wanna in Dune. The idiots didn't get it wrong in the books, just on the site.
There was also a Wandra Butler in the Legends books:
Oh, GAWD, yes yes yes! Let me imagine reliving old sexual encounters, just like Quentin does here!
Yawn.

He kept replaying over and over again what he had just experienced, how he wanted to be with Wandra again in the same way. It was a perverse thought, but so powerfully compelling that it frightened and delighted him at the same moment.

I actually just came over from dunenovels.com. Days went by with no activity in the "for lovers of classic dune only'' forum. I hate the prequels/sequels, and there were only like 5 people who posted regularly in there on dunenovels.com. I like this site much better from what I've seen so far. Much more activity and more knowledgeable Herbert fans.
