Lol @ this old, old thread. :lol: It's been years (YEARS) since I've read Eddings. I realize now why I liked it. It was because I was new to fantasy and that was pretty much my first introduction to epic/high fantasy. I really didn't know any better. Back then, I didn't look at his writing style, I ...

Let's be honest - the rape of Lena could be cut out altogether. Maybe he beats her up. Maybe he emotionally abuses/berates her. Maybe he just repudiates her affection and love. We don't need it to be rape for Covenant to: a) come off as an asshole b) have guilt/something to atone for/something eati...

So...I spent most of the night writing my outline for the Pilot. I plan on having it be an hour long. It will start with Covenant waking up in the hospital and his interaction with Joan. Some might be tempted to make it a more modern adaptation, but I want to keep the setting back in 1977 when scien...

I'm going to write a TCTC TV pilot!
So if anyone's attempted this before, let me know. Exactly like the subject says. I'm going to write a TV pilot screenplay for the series which will simply be entitled "The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant." Simple and to the point. Almost how "Game of Thrones" was used for the enti...

Thank you so much! I'd already read his Epic Fantasy and the Modern World essay (which was amazing) but I had not heard of this one. Perfect!wayfriend wrote:

Favorite Star Wars Episode
What's everyone's favorite scene/episode/aspect of the Star Wars Saga? I think mine would be a close tie between Rogue One and Empire. I love Empire. It is pretty much the heart of Star Wars. Rogue One made the Force mystic again through characters like Chirrut. I'm curious to know what you guys thi...

I have a confession... I've only read the trilogy once and it was when I was in high school, just after the movies came out. (15 years ago!) I've long preferred the movies to the books since I find the language of the books to be a little dated and hard to get through. The adaptations captured the b...

Mind if I chime in? :) So, I'm re-reading LFB right now and I'm on the chapter when TC and Atiaran are at Woodhelven. I can't help thinking this entire time that Michael Fassbender would be an amazing Thomas Covenant. The man can play anything. Upon thinking what sort of medium this story could be t...

Hey, everyone. Long time no see. Last time I was on this forum was in 2008 so I feel like a noob since I had to reactivate my membership here. I've resently been re-reading Lord Foul's Bane because I'm working on my senior thesis for my undergrad. My thesis title is "Out of the Nursery and into...

For some reason, I couldn't find Dan Simmons (though I know that he bought one called Ilium, I think) but I did find Alastair Reynolds, Roger MacBride Allen, and Peter F. Hamilton... Menolly, what books of those authors shall I look for? I've definitely heard of them, but am not familiar with their ...
