Historical fantasy is not the same thing as historical fiction, Wammy.

The papers that listed Eragon as a "bestseller" aren't accurate. When they take their bestsellers lists, they only take into account the number of copies that bookstores have bought from publishers. They do not take into account how many copies the bookstores actually sold, nor do they take into account the number of copies that were returned.

I've written this down before, in this very thread.

Ahem. I was talking about 2 different things.

I am well aware of that.

You were also posting quotes from certain papers or people which praised Eragon.

If you read those reviews in their entirety, they say more negative things than positive things.

And some people were paid for those quotes.

If Athena were here, I'd guarantee that she would rant for us, but alas, she is on a school trip to Ottawa, whilst I am stuck here, with in-class exams.

If you see her, be sure to say hi, Ben!

Meh, Fantasy is flooded with bad books that sell. It's a tragedy.

Ahem. And what's with the god/goddess names?

I agree.

And I just found this from an interview with Stefan Feigmeyer, that was posted on wikipedia....and found it realitvly funny..it's about the possibility of a second movie.

"I'm not quite sure what is currently going on. My own personal perspective is that until we sort of figure out what happens in the third book. Evidentially, I asked Christopher (Paolini; writer of the Eragon trilogy)..., about that and he was not volunteering much of what was going to happen (which absolutetly reveals that he actually has no idea of what else he can take from other writes jaja...)."

The real one on the website reads:

Evidentially, I asked Christopher (Paolini; writer of the Eragon trilogy)..., about that and he was not volunteering much of what was going to happen. I think it's very important to see where this ends up; how it's resolved. I think until you kind of have an understanding of what the third piece of that puzzle is, it's kind of hard to look at that second book, of course I read it, it's very much a transitional story element. I think one would be best off to write the third film first, and then, being happy with that, going back to the second one and doing all the set-up work that will pay off in the third. Then probably filming two and three together as they did with Pirates of the Caribbean; as one production.

Not that our names have anything to do with this conversation, but I'll answer anyway.

Athena and I are both obsessed with Greek mythology. "Artemis" is my nickname, even off of the internet. I'm well known to be a "feminist-type" I like animals more than I do people, I know how to use a bow and arrow, I exhibit all the attributes of that particular goddess. I'm also asexual. That's the most important thing we have in commen.

Athena is intelligent, she likes to weave, and exhibits all the attributes of the goddess Athena.

Krim's signature also had nothing to do with the conversation, however...

There are only three. he's just repeated them a few times.

...You're a asexual uber feminist?

How awkward is this going to get?

She's mentioned that she was several times. :P

You see, Artemis, the Birds and the Bees reproduce, All of god's little creatures are endowned with the ability to create young ones of their own species. It's completely natural. Hell, Chimps have been known mastrubate obsessively in their free time.

That awkward, huh?

...

Can't we talk about nice things like fairies, daises, and torching Paolini's head?

Alright.

Who wants to go graffiti Eragon's wikipedia page then rub it in Shurtugal's faces?

The wiki is sacred.

Random doll I made of the poor guy a few months back.

Dislike his writing, fine. But what's wrong with the guy himself? He hasn't done anything that bad, as far as I know...

/preaching

What's that supposed to mean?

And alright, I'm editing the reply.

Thank-you.

And do you really have to ask, Mwamba?
