No, no, Jay, I don't think PPDPP would work at all. Sorry.

Poor, doomed souls.
Maybe there's a *reason* that Linden can't get a snappy acronym. . .
To quote SRD who was paraphrasing Lester del Rey, "You can't have a Tarzan novel with Jane as the main character!"
There. I've said my piece. Now I'd better get out of here, as it looks like I'm outnumbered by Linden lovers. . .

I blame SRD for the existance of THOOLAH...
One of my friends went to a book signing the other day, and SRD was asked a question about his characters or pertaining to his first 2 series or something.
Donaldson said that in going back and re-reading the first 6 books, he realized that the scenes narrated from Linden's POV were the ones that felt most poorly-done to him, because he didn't really understand her (or identify with her).
So basically our beloved Linden just wasn't getting a fair shake... and given the fact that SRD is VERY capable of creating compassion/empathy in his readers, and HE now sees the error of his ways (yes, I dare to accuse the Creator - hah!) I think that EVERYONE will be converted by the end of the series.
I just like to consider Linden-Lovers "perfected THOOLAHS." *grins at Menolly* I know, I know, I am sooo evyl.

"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."

Disclaimer: On several levels, I do disagree with the original quote! This was just TOO GOOD an opportunity to pass up!

Don't be intimidated by their superior numbers on this thread. Remember that the masses are often misguided. From what I can see, your heart is in the right place. And as you read FR, I pray you will not allow yourself to be swayed by the fact that Linden cries less. …And I really don’t think that’s a spoiler because we should have seen it coming, anyway. You see, every human being on this planet has what I like to call a “tear quota.” If Linden existed in real life (the thought is nauseating, I know, but stay with me for a second), she would have surpassed her tear quota long ago – probably at some point during TWL. The only reason Linden doesn’t run out of tears until FR is that these are fantasy novels. No “real life” person could have maintained such a pathetic weeping habit as long as Linden did. Why did Linden finally lose the ability to sob incessantly? Only SRD knows for sure. Maybe he realized that, despite the fact the Chronicles are fantasy, many readers were losing their ability to “suspend their disbelief” about Linden’s seemingly endless capacity for emotional breakdowns.Turiya wrote:Poor, doomed souls.

So don’t let the decreased amount of crying confuse you. Do not abandon your convictions. Remember: Linden is still an unconscionable witch. (And a pscycho who murdered her mother with a bunch of Kleenex.)

“...The conversations had a nightmare flatness, talking dice spilled in the tube metal chairs, human aggregates disintegrating in cosmic inanity, random events in a dying universe where everything is exactly what it appears to be and no other relation than juxtaposition is possible.”
“There are two kinds of sufferers in this world: those who suffer from a lack of life, and those who suffer from an overabundance.”
