I think it might be if you don't ask, but you can do mine whenever you feel the urge to do so. What if you did them for celebrities or for entities like the church or the government and things like that? Or fictional characters. You could tell us what happens at the end of the Wheel of Time series!
Oh, I know what happens at the end of the Wheel of Time. Robert Jordan is disgustingly wealthy, and then is murdered by a mob of angry fans who have had their intelligence insulted and their time wasted.
...
That series was fantastic for the first few books. Now... *shudder* Maybe it is just the translation quality. Maybe the English ones are better?
Min already told us what happens at the end of the Wheel of Time series. The real trick is predicting how many more books it'll be nefore we get there, and whether the last one will take two thousand pages to cover fifteen minutes in the life of a hundred different characters, all of whom have single-shot differentiating mannerisms and (for the women) lavishly described necklines.
Hrm. Good point. Min was cool until she started wearing dresses again. Aviendha was cool while she was still hating Rand. Elayne...not so cool. Faile is been and _gone_ from cool.
And there's nothing wrong with appreciating necklines, but yeah, I think Jordan takes it a little far.
I am suddenly overcome with the thought that the only thing keeping me from the label of 'nerd' is that I do not play video games and I have leather pants.
Well . . . hm. McCaffrey on a bad day is right around there. Eddings is sort of a different genre of bad, if you know what I mean--he's bad about repetitive plots and national stereotypes, but he has some pretty good dialogue and he isn't teenybopper horsie-birdie-love environmentalist-sledgehammer shallow simplisticism.
