Blind Sally posted:Is the show out yet? They're halfway done filming Season 8 already. Which is honestly surprising that they've managed to get halfway through their production schedule and there so far hasn't been a single major (credible) leak or set spy photos published yet. They've really stepped up their game because by this point in filming Season 7 there were a billion pics of Jon and Dany at Dragonstone swirling around the internet.

Well, it’s nice to see that John Jude Palencar’s still getting work now that no one wants to publish anything Christopher Paolini writes ever again.

Kavak posted:Did people finally realize Eragon sucks or did he do a Bad Thing? The former, I think. Despite proclamations that he was hard at work on a sci-fi book since before the last Eragon book was published, he hasn’t published a drat thing in creeping up on a decade now. Allegedly he’s a GRRM level slow writer, but the more plausible explanation is that the second he fulfilled his 4 book contract with Random House no one wanted anything to do with him anymore because, yeah, he’s a lovely writer and the 15 year-old wunderkin charm wore off like 8 years ago.

I guess teenage fame is never good even if you're a nerdy fantasy writer.

Remember when GRRM would post a recap on his stupid blog every year about what he did the year before? I always enjoyed reading those to see what his newest excuse was for not writing. He hasn't even written one of those posts for 2 years. What a jerk!

Wasn't the only reason Paolini got published was because his parents were like, important higher-ups at the publisher? Like lmao that wasn't because he was any good at it.

I would imagine that the publishers saw a lot of marketing value in the novelty of having a fantasy book written to appeal to 15 year old teenage boys written by an actual teenager.

Martin was all tore up about still having some months of writing to do before finishing the book ... so it's probably best he's kept his queso hole shut about it.

They used to print pamphlets for the cult they were part of so they had access to an industrial scale self-publishing print shop  Carl Hiaasen bought a copy for his kid while on vacation in Montana and then shopped it to Random House to get the kid to shut the gently caress up about it already.

Nah, that poo poo didn't get culty until the show came out. Before 2010 the most dedicated fan-produced thing w/r/t the books was that stupid video of a golden hand knocking over a goblet. That used to be the only thing that came up when you searched for Jamie Lannister on YouTube. Now it's so obscure you can't even find the loving thing anymore. nine-gear crow fucked around with this message at 09:49 on Jan 27, 2018 |

It centers on communications received from Ascended Masters through the Holy Spirit. Many of the Ascended Masters, such as Sanat Kumara, Maitreya, Djwal Khul, El Morya, Kuthumi, Paul the Venetian, Serapis Bey, the Master Hilarion, the Master Jesus and Saint Germain, have their roots in Theosophy and the writings of Madame Blavatsky, C.W. Leadbeater, and Alice A. Bailey. Others, such as Buddha and Confucius, are historical religious figures. Well I can see where he got his rampant originality from.

A YouTube comment in there suggests that the “Jammie knocking over a glass of wine” in the show is an homage to this, since apparently GRRM got a big kick out of this video when it came out and posted it to his Live Journal. Hopefully that’s true, because this video really takes me back.

According to wiki: Kenneth and Talita Paolini, the parents of Inheritance cycle author Christopher Paolini, were once members but later left the organization. They have since written the book 400 Years of Imaginary Friends: A Journey Into the World of Adepts, Masters, Ascended Masters, and Their Messengers, which discussed their experiences of the sect as well as a history of it related to other groups.[26]
