See, when I read Cor's, I automatically thought of The Handmaid's Tale, by Margaret Atwood. Not a funny book, except for the "Pen is Envy" thing. LOL

To keep from being thwapped by Mac again.... the thing is, it was the newbie thread that made me think of this not this thread for some random reason.
"...Grace Drayton, is bestknown for creating the Campbell Kids in 1905. Until her death in 1936, Draytonproduced countless comics featuring cute toddlers, all looking like the Campbell Kids,with a confusion of names like Toodles, Toddles, Dolly Drake, Bobby Blake, Dolly Dingle, Dolly Dimples, and Dotty Darling."
I missed this, (as in "oh, it went away!...not as in I didn't see it) we should always have it on the first page...and Icarus was "The Dingle(tm)" On GreNME for a spell...
quote:She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellow'd to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impair'd the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress, Or softly lightens o'er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek, and o'er that brow, So soft, so calm, yet eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow, But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind at peace with all below, A dingle whose love is innocent!

Ah. Fond memories, one of the classic threads.
to Mack, for starting the degeneration of the dingle thread and to all the lyricists and publishers of dingle adages.

Aside from the dingle jokes (since Dan's was the best possible joke, I feel I don't have to go any further), I must take exception to Jordan writing believable women.
Are you kidding! I was going to bring him up as someone who has no concept of women at all. Lets see here:
The wisdom woman is just plain bitchy, and pulls her brade and acts flighty in every chapter!
Every woman thinks of what she is wearing as her primary priority. They all secretly want to wear skanky clothing too, and think about their necklines at the start of every POV.
Three seperate women fall for Rand for no reason beyond him being crazy and powerful. He's not even nice to them, and they hardly even have a conversation before they are "in love" with him!
They all hate men! Every single one of them insult the men in their life every time they think of them. Oddly enough, they even all use the same insults. They all can't stand the man in their life, up until the very moment they "love" him.
If women were really this way, I would consider becoming a homosexual . I admit that I like Faile somewhat, but even she is crazy and oddly characterized.
One author who seems to write good women in my opinion is Robin Hobb, but she's a female so I don't know if she counts . In particular, Molly was one of the more believable women I've ever read, and part of why that series was so depressing to me was that she reminded me exactly of my ex-girlfried. The men were pretty good too, with Fitz being pretty convincing I thought, even from a first person persective.
George R. R. Martin did a really good job I thought, especially with the Stark women, but also Brienne, the Queen of Thorns, and Cersie Lannister.
As for me, one of the reasons I absolutely cannot write is because I can't write a woman's dialogue. Its like the Sienfeld episode when Jerry and George can't write Elaine into the pilot cause they have no idea what she'd say in any given situation .

I, too, read the same story and had the same reaction. I thought it sucked. It didn't feel real to me at all. I was so peeved that I think I actually cussed and claimed I could write better than that, thank you very much, after I'd finished the story.
