[kippurbird.livejournal.com]

I DON'T HAVE ONE

BORROW ONE THE CLASH OF PAOLINI AND HIS NEMESIS MUST BE RECORDED AND DOCUMENTED FOR THE AGES OHSHIT.

Chocobro also approves of this public PaoPao Roasting.

[gehayi.livejournal.com]

Oh, PLEASE take him apart.

[kippurbird.livejournal.com]

This is in the plans. I don't know if it is possible.

[brightrosefox.livejournal.com]

This made me smile REALLY WIDE.

[kippurbird.livejournal.com]

:D

[riyna-chan.livejournal.com]

Coming back to Comic Con, is he? I know he did autograph signings before, I kinda wonder how awful the panel's gonna be.

Now I wish I was going to Comic Con this year. Damnit. ;-;

[kippurbird.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Oh well. I'll have to live through it for everyone.

[dergerm.livejournal.com]

OooooOOOOOOOOOH SNAP!

[hekateras.livejournal.com]

You could challenge him to a game of wits.

Are you already immune to iocane powder, by any chance?

...But no, seriously, just what are you planning on doing? :D

[kippurbird.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure yet! It all depends on the panel. He's not going to be the only author on it.

[soberloki.livejournal.com]

YOU MUST GET THIS MEETING ON CAMERA.

Seriously. Needs to happen. You should print out your sporkings, and present them to him in a nice volume. Kinko's does bindings pretty cheap. I'm just sayin'...

*wanders off whilst whistling innocently*

[kippurbird.livejournal.com]

That is so very tempting.

I don't have a camera though.

[ravenswept.livejournal.com]

Find someone already at the con who does and ask for a shared video.

[ravenswept.livejournal.com]

What the hell is he going to be talking about that anyone would actually be interested in?

[kippurbird.livejournal.com]

This is the panel description:

Once Upon a Time— Fantasy authors discuss whether Epic Fantasy requires bigger-than-life heroes and heroines. Authors include Lynn Flewelling (The White Road), Christopher Paolini (the Inheritance cycle), Patrick Rothfuss (The Name of the Wind), Brandon Sanderson (The Way of Kings, Book 1 of The Stormlight Archive), Megan Whalen Turner (the Queen's Thief series), and Brent Weeks (the Night Angel Trilogy). Moderated by Maryelizabeth Hart of Mysterious Galaxy. Room 24ABC

Oh gods.

SOMEBODY HAS TO RECORD THIS.

Yes, I did read above that you don't have a camera. But still. A voice recorder, perhaps?

It's too bad that you aren't on a panel TOGETHER.

[kippurbird.livejournal.com]

Maybe a voice recorder, I don't know.

Being on a panel together would be awesome.

[oceans-heart.livejournal.com]

I can't stop giggling. You vs Paolini! Damn it I wish I could see this!

[kippurbird.livejournal.com]

It'd be more fun it if was just a show down between me and him.

Maybe we could get lunch together. XD

[kippurbird.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm sure the same will happen. I'm going to take some questions with me that are appropriate for the panel and ask them if possible. I don't want to be mean... well no, I do want to be mean, but I'm not going to because that would be making me wrong.

And then I'll try and talk to him after the panel.

I'm gonna bring my books for him to sign too. :D

[kippurbird.livejournal.com]

It does sound like a good question to ask.

He's not a bad person. A bad writer, but not a bad person.

[rurounitriv.livejournal.com]

Oh my... just don't do anything that will get you arrested. ;)

[kippurbird.livejournal.com]

I won't.

>.>

... I know what you mean by the "egg" tag, but its placement somehow makes me think you're intending to bring eggs to Comicon for when you encounter Paolini.

I refrain from stating my opinion on this course of action.

Maybe you should give him the address to your Eragon sporking website and advise him to just have a read. Not to be mean, but to help him realise his flaws and hopefully become a better writer for his sake. Though you have been a bit mean in some of those sporkings. And chances are he won't "waste his time" with reading them (it is quite a long read) and will disregard any criticism and continue to think he's so great a gift to the world of fiction.
It's one thing to think you're a good writer when you're not but it seems like he thinks he's like the best there is. Yeah he's probably a pretty nice person but I just feel this air of smugness to him or something when I see him in videos. Of course this is all my perception of him. I have no idea what goes on in his head and I probably shouldnt judge.
