McDune Parody Contest!

Thu, 13 Jan 2011 23:24:10 -0500

Another unofficial and completely unauthorized writing event, only this time for the non-fan.

Anderson and Brian Herbert which continue to ass-rape Frank Herbert’s Dune books and stories.

“Inama Nushif” again...

New page: No Real Evidence for a "Dune 7" Outline

Wed, 05 Jan 2011 12:05:12 -0500

In the Miscellaneous Topics section. Images of two floppy disks on a website do not constitute evidence of anything other than an ability to take photos and upload them. To date the Herberts and Kevin J. Anderson have provided no credible proof that there ever was any “Dune 7” outline, so what reason is there to believe them?

New Links Page added

Wed, 05 Jan 2011 12:02:45 -0500

Just some basic items for now, but more will be added later!

Want to learn Fremen? Now you can!

Wed, 05 Jan 2011 12:01:36 -0500

Dune Encyclopedia Subdomain Updates

Also, updated information on the continuing effort to get the truth behind those Fremen lyrics of “Inama Nushif” and composer Brian Tyler’s apparent plagiarism of The Dune Encyclopedia.
