isn't cool enough for a title.
|
I already wrote down a whole spiel on this, so here's a link to the link. http://z11.invisionfree.com/mandalore/index.php?showtopic=408 But in a nutshell, because of the GLARING continuity errors created by The Clone Wars TV show, Karen Traviss has announced that Imperial Commando 2 will be her final Star Wars novel. If that weren't enough of a slap in the face, her Boba Fett novel was also canceled for the same reason. |
That's right, that's my new signature. | |

That is one of the most awful things to happen to the SW community. But at the same time, I can't blame her. SW has become so marketized that it has no continuity anymore. There's little point writing for a story that can't get its facts straight. Oya Manda! -Kire Du'Hai |

You're confused that my response to a canceled Boba Fett book was "WHATNOUNACCEPTABLE"? So uh, I emailed Traviss, and my email notifications tell me I got one back, so I'm going to go read that, and then I'm going to go fangirl a bit, and then I'll come back to this. |

You know I did, Jag, you won't shut up on MSN about it. xD Brief summary: [4:03 PM] Kal: I emailed KT [4:03 PM] Kal: AND GOT A RESPONSE [4:04 PM] Kal: WITHIN 24 HOURS WTF IS THIS [4:04 PM] Jag'ara'nov: From her herself? [4:05 PM] Kal: "Gmail conversation history: Kathryn -> (--go to the website and find out yourself, lazy bums--), Karen -> -----@gmail.com" [4:05 PM] Kal: And I read the first couple of lines and it certainly sounds like her. [4:05 PM] Kal: and then I went "FFFFFFUUUUUU ALT TAB BRB FANGIRLING" [4:05 PM] Jag'ara'nov: OMG O.O [4:07 PM] Jag'ara'nov: TELL ME WHAT SHE SAID! [4:07 PM] Kal: I HAVENT SUMMONED THE COURAGE TO READ IT MYSELF YET [4:07 PM] Kal: I sent like an eight page BAWWWW BUT YOURE AWESOME email [4:07 PM] Kal: talking about Ka'ra and stuff [4:09 PM] Jag'ara'nov: So, tell me about the email! [4:10 PM] Jag'ara'nov: I waited 30 secs already! [4:10 PM] Kal: I'M NOT READING IT YET [4:10 PM] Kal: THE FIRST LINE WAS "Wow, I'm not sure how to respond so let m start with a heartfelt thank you" OR SOMETHING [4:10 PM] Kal: AND THEN I WENT "OMG OMG OMG" AND ALT TABBED [4:15 PM] Jag'ara'nov: NOW!?! [4:15 PM] Kal: No [4:15 PM] Jag'ara'nov: Plox? [4:15 PM] Kal: No. [4:15 PM] Jag'ara'nov: I can haz more info? [4:16 PM] Kal: And when I do read it, if you interrupt me I'll keel you. [4:16 PM] Kal: ^more info [4:16 PM] Jag'ara'nov: do i get sto find out about it when you keel me? [4:19 PM] Kal: No [4:19 PM] Kal: I'll keel you THEN tell people what it said [4:32 PM] Kal: "Hi Kathryn. It's hard to know where to start, but I'll begin with a sincere thank-you. I can do “long” too, of course, so.... well, maybe this isn’t a focused answer, but it’s the honest reaction your comments produced. " [4:32 PM] Kal: HAPPY NOW JAG? [4:33 PM] Kal: "but once I accept Dobbin isn’t going to get up and run the Derby, I move on fast." [4:33 PM] Kal: BEST [4:33 PM] Kal: METAPHOR [4:33 PM] Kal: EVER [4:34 PM] Kal: "I’m genuinely delighted when I get mail like yours." [4:34 PM] Kal: I giggled like a schoolgirl [4:34 PM] Kal: Is this bad? [4:35 PM] Kal: "When Hard Contact came out, I was criticised for writing something that “wasn’t Star Wars.” No, it wasn’t, and I accept that; it was just my take on a group of cloned soldiers trying to survive and make sense of a world that saw them as objects. It happened to be SW paying me to do it, and I knew precisely nothing about SW then. The bottom line is that I can write characters like that consistently, for every book, every day, year after year, for any franchise or for my creator-owned series." [4:35 PM] Kal: DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT [4:35 PM] Kal: (plz) [4:36 PM] Kal: "The nearest I can come to explaining how I work is that I create a set of AIs for a book, and then let them loose. They start with their basic psychology and environment, but then they’re out of my hands and acting independently. They learn and adapt. I just follow. So 90% of my effort goes into character creation. " [4:36 PM] Kal: *shriek* [4:37 PM] Kal: "They want to be able to produce a consistent line of products – readers don’t want to lurch from comedy to Russian-style epic tragedy to hyper-detailed techno-thriller to soap-opera every time they pick up a new book in a franchise." [4:37 PM] Kal: YES WE DO [4:37 PM] Kal: just let me know what type I'm picking up from the cover art [4:37 PM] Kal: BUT YES WE DO [4:38 PM] Kal: "And publishers don’t want to get too dependent on individual writers who might leave for greener pastures, or get hit by a truck, or join a nunnery." [4:38 PM] Kal: is the nunnery thing likely to happen? D; [4:39 PM] Kal: "Having said all that grim business stuff – thanks again for your kind comments and for sharing this with me, and I’m glad to have had the chance to make a difference to your life. You fans have certainly made a difference to mine – the right sort of difference, of course. Best KT" [4:39 PM] Kal: /FANGIRLS [4:39 PM] Kal: /fangirlsfangirlsfangirls [4:40 PM] Kal: I just irl made the noise "EEHEHEHEHEHEEEE" [4:40 PM] Kal: I didn't know I could make that noise [5:17 PM] Jag'ara'nov: OMG [5:17 PM] Jag'ara'nov: *fangirls* [5:28 PM] Jag'ara'nov: *is still fangirling* [5:30 PM] Kal: xD [5:30 PM] Kal: I KNOW RIGHT? [5:31 PM] Kal: I still have the tab open [5:31 PM] Kal: eeeeeee [5:31 PM] Jag'ara'nov: NEVER CLOSE IT! [5:31 PM] Kal: KT wrote me a like eight paragraph email [5:31 PM] Kal: WITHIN...*counts* [5:31 PM] Kal: SEVEN HOURS of me emailing her [5:32 PM] Jag'ara'nov: OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!
