Anyone here who thinks they could turn a profit from their writing (save maybe Astro) is delusional. Joanna I'm honored you took time out of your busy tagging schedule to throw a barb my way. Your rebuttal straight up, a refill, and a funny straw, sir, in no particular order.

None of us possess the utter lack of self awareness those 'authors' have in common. Dondy could write the next great epic of the Dorne.

Alright let me rephrase that.
You could all absolutely be Stephenie Meyer.
Also I may be stoned to death for saying this, but the first 3 Sword of Truth books were decent...then it went downhill fast. Also is it really fair to lump in a 17 year old kid that wrote a derivative piece of fantasy (a pretty common sin in the genre) with the grown woman responsible an abomination that basically raped everything that was cool about vampires?

Killion, where do you fall into this hierarchy of writing potential?

I actually hate my narrative writing style. Always reads as too simplistic to me. My academic writing is professional level though, which is probably why I'm somewhere I can put it to some use.
That doesn't sound half bad Brad. I'm not signing your copy though. Too many sticky pages.

I think Goodkind writes plots and concepts well, but he is horrendous writing actual people as anything other than either mouthpieces for his ideas or pieces of meat to take his frustrations out on. He's like the Hitler of literature in a sense.

So should we all admit the facts, give up on the RP, and just post here?
