Evil is afoot! "Shall" is no more! Horror!

Post by kevinswatch »

I don't know how many of you are aware of this, but apparently SRD has been awfully busy with his free time since finishing the drafts of Fatal Revenant. And he's not simply filling up his time with crossword puzzles and other wholesome, American activities. No, he has been up to something much more sinister.

He has renamed one of the books in the Last Chronicles!!! 8O 8O 8O

The horror!

And what is this terrible evil, you may ask? Witness for yourself. But be warned, small children and those of you with weak stomachs should probably look away. For the sight it too grim for mortal eyes to behold. LOOK AT BE DISMAYED:

www.stephenrdonaldson.com/background/pu ... nant03.php

The peaceful and wholesome, American book title, "Shall Pass Utterly", has been replaced with the FILTH of "Should Pass Utterly"! How did this happen? When did this happen? Why did this happen? And more importantly, where have I misplaced my pants???

I say, we shouldn't allow SRD to push us around and rename all of our books! We have to read these things, ya know. Who does he think he is, anyway? The author of these books?

We must unite, and make a stand! Should no more! Shall forever! Bring Back Shall!

For this reason, I am forming The United Watchers Who Want SRD To Utterly Bring Back Shall!

TUWWWSTUBBS!

Who will join me in this holy quest?

As always, I shall side with the minority and shout "It is as it SHOULD be!" Just because it sounds good (ie: "Shall Pass Utterly") does not mean that it lives to be part of the final draft. This is the way of the writing world. Embrace the fact that you have experienced this wonder and then let is pass utterly from your mind (as it SHOULD).

Seareach has spoken! :biggrin:

The last time part of a series got renamed we got Return of the Jedi instead of Revenge of the Jedi. And thus, we got Ewoks.

Well, since "shall pass utterly" is a line from an earlier book, the introduction of "should" makes no sense. I shall join this fight.

I hear the Catholic church is changing the Shroud of Turin's title to the 'Should of Turin'.

I totally agree that that title sucks ass.....question is, what CAN we do about it? Is there somewhere we can go to vote or complain? Will each of us sending an email do the trick? How can we affect things? Can Romeo do anything? Seriously, that title just blows massive chunks..... :?

We need to persuade Mr. Donaldson to visit the forum, stat, and have a very calm, very serious discussion.

Now, the question is.... how to get his attention?

What, like this?

"Dear Mr. Donaldson,

Your presence is requested at the Kevin's Watch forums, which can be located by clicking this link. This is an urgent matter. Should you be unable to spare the time to mediate an impending riot, chaos shall ensue.

Yours very truly,
Waddley Hasselhoff"

Nah, just flood the GI with hundreds and hundreds of WE WANT SHALL!!!!

That'll get his attention; his guilty conscience will make them beat like a tell-tale heart.

Count me in. I'm thinking petition.
