Mmmhmmm sounds about right... Really, that woman must have some of the best karma in the world... Wonder how long it will last? Or did she really piss someone off in her past life, and the gods are merely setting her up for something cruel and unusual?

 

i gess people saying her books are evil is bad karma

 

O__O cruel and unusual divine punishment? ... SWEET! XD

im all for that idea, though i hardly doubt that its the case here.. unless she was adolf hitler in a past life, i dun see that... <__< no offense to the ladyfolk around here but i bet its just that she was offering ... services... to the gods in between lives..

 

yeah she's had some insane god luck to get the book published in the first place.

I contacted TSR way back when, after Dragons Of Summer Flame came out, and pitched them over the phone ideas for a book i'd like to write for them.

I was shown interest, and told to send them a rough draft within a year and a half. Sent it in. 6 months later they released the first of the Fifth age books and went in a direction "sort" of like my story.

My story = Elemental dragons, new dragon god ruling from the new moon. Raistlin comes back as a even eviler badass.

Their story = Other world dragons, new dragon "gods" with the evil queen Takhisis coming back to rule eventually.

Alot of similar themes, with Palin becoming head of the Order, etc.

Sad to say, they choose Jean Rabe's version to run with, and it wound up shredding the Dragonlance world into pure and utter SH*T, that they had to write a TRIOLOGY by Weis and Hickman to even start to rebuild from the clusterf*** Rabe left it in....


Anywayz... that was my rant on unfairness in publishing, rofl.

 

Ehuh...something tells me someones a tad bitter about that? Not that I blame you....

 

ya know... ive got only one thing to say to that... and ive said it many times before and ill say it many times before i die...


What fucking idiots

 

Naw, she just made over a million for her half assed writing =) At least my version was ironed out =(

I shredded my copy of my draft tho, and sent it to TSR right after Wizards of the Coast bought them out, with a nice msg that said "THATS WHAT YOU GET _(*&@(*&@*(&^@*)&@"'s.

Funny enough i didn't get a response.

 

huh... i wonder why... generally one would get some sort of legal response from this sort of decleration...

 

Naw they prolly didnt have the slightest clue, hmm crazy fan sends in box of shredded paper.

K, toss it into the trash, next!

I was debating something cruel and unusual, but was afraid of the prompt legal action you mentioned, lol.


Besides, if i stuck Rabe's head in a box, i think i'd at least make her children mad... lord knows the DL fans wouldn't miss her.

 

true true.. but whats the point of life if you arent going to take chances with cruel and unusual punishments...

dont be square.. decapitated heads in the mail are in this season

 

Ever notice that it has to be cruel AND unusual to be illegal?

 

Getting back on topic, the Michael Jackson bit has been split into it's own... er intersting topic.
