Dunenewt Posted May 10, 2008 Author Share Posted May 10, 2008 Yes, it was definitely a give away! Anyway, it is great to see a writer getting in touch with the community he is writing for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandChigger Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 True. Hopefully in something other than the one-way, talking-down-to that some of us have gotten used to (tired of?) when it comes to Dune writers. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandChigger Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Ahp. So if there's going to be any discussion, someone will have to post a summary of each article, seeing how few members seem to have copies.More to the point, perhaps, is HIMSELF going to interact here further? Has he visited again since he signed up?(I see from his profile that he hasn't. Hmmm... Not essential for discussion, but definitely more interesting with, don't you think?)

Dunenewt Posted May 18, 2008 Author Share Posted May 18, 2008 I guess I could send him an e-mail tonight, and send out an e-mail to all the other authors involved that I found on the 'net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
