The Unthinkable Has Happened

[cassie_o_52]

I don't know how I can express how sad I am at this moment. It's just horrible. As a few people know, I read Dragonlance religiously. Seriously. I've lost count of how many of the book I own. The point being is that Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman are possibly the best writers the Dragonlance team has. Anyways, their newest book in the dark

This is fresh news to me. I'm just about 200 pages from finishing Dwarven Depths and if WotC makes a book about Raist that ISN'T written by the people who created him, I'm going to be so angry...I might go on a infant punching rampage or something....

I've been flipping through the thread, and from what I can tell (if the posters are really the writers) then it's true. I've also noticed you can't find the third book on amazon's US page, it's only on the UK page. To top it off, the writers aren't even allowed to turn in their version of the book. The plot described on the amazon UK's page of the hourglass mage isn't even their plot. Yet their names are on it. I'm really hoping it's some insane publicity stunt. Really really really hoping. I've literally read almost (I'm sure there are some of the really old ones I can't find) every last book, and it's the last one I know of that I really want to read. If it falls through, it'll just ruin the series for me. We really need to find a new series to obsess over.

BTW dwarven depths is awesome. Have you gotten the second in the series? I like it better I think.

Haha, Yeah. If they sell a novel with Weis and Hickman listed as the author, I pretty sure that they could sue Wizards/Hasbro for misrepresentation or something.

I wish wotc would just sell the rights to weis's company so they could write whatever they wanted. And not worry about wotc letting writers write crappy books and slap dragonlance on it. I feel a road trip coming on... let me know if you find anything else out about this.
