Bad authors shouldn't die either; they should just fade away.

I haven't read half of these...

I always thought I was a fan of Fantasy to... I guess maybe not.

I really liked how Brandon Sanderson wrapped up the Wheel of Time series.

He had all of Robert Jordan's notes on what he'd planned to do with the series, and Sanderson himself is rather skilled at bringing together many many seemingly disparate plot points into a cascading coherent conclusion.

Speaking of Brandon anyone else excited for the new Stormlight Archive book?  Apparently it's even longer than the second one!

It's amazing how many horror themes/tropes/cliches had origins in Lovecraft's works

The new Stormlight book is now out, and it lived up the hype for me.

I think they might have used it to unclutter the main lounge. But that's not really a problem anymore.

Re: Fiction Shmiction and Media Shmedia

I rebuke ye who say this should be part of the main lounge. This is to discuss fiction specifically and other things that are only important in imaginations...

The lounge is for lounging.

Lovecraft also went into space sci-fi in The Doors of Eryx, with astronauts adventuring on a swampy planet far away and lizard-like aliens...

Re: Fiction Shmiction and Media Shmedia

I'd be more interested in snake-like aliens.  Any of those?

Re: Fiction Shmiction and Media Shmedia

Probably not. There's the whole opposable thumb problem...or any thumbs...or hands...or arms, for that matter...
...but lizards from space; I'm sure there's plenty of that, and not just from V. I am old enough to have watched V when it premiered in 1984 (including Robert Englund in his pre-Freddie days), and it was shockingly good to my teenaged self, but much dated now.

EDIT: Also, Marc Singer (protagonist on V) was my favorite action hero until Schwarzeneggar came around as the Terminator. I mean, Beastmaster...classic.

Re: Fiction Shmiction and Media Shmedia

I think that the lizard ones are preferred as it is easier to have actors impersonating them.
