we all remember this guy dont we?
well lets put a stop to him once and for all for the future of the the 40k universe.

Oh FFS leave the guy alone.

C.S. Goto's work is generally capitalized and punctuated correctly at least. I'm sure he cries all the way to the bank to cash his checks for the books all the fanbois bought and now trash constantly.

quiet you.

I never seen so much hate for one man that every one here probably never met.

i admit Goto certaintly uses correct english, grammer and punctuation.

the better to see his awful content




GW should hire Goto to proofread their writing so it's clear and concise and NOT have him actually do the writing.

and beside a petition is not going to do any good, you need to get people to not buy his books if you want to get rid of him.

If you can over look the fluff errors a couple are alright.

he rapes cute animals and children

I kill and eat small animals and children and then do naughty things to the carcases.

but at least you don't write the things down and sell them in book stores for $11.99

Well actually.....

Woah! extreme double post thing!?!?!?!!?!!?!?

np thats the power of goto

Maybe I should make a petition to stop Robin Cruddace from writing codices. Because it'll totally work and make GW fire him.


P.S. This thread is pointless.

so sue me if i don't use the correct spelling. at least my posts are coherent

Just because it's "real" to someone who wrote a novel doesn't mean it needs to be "real" to you.

True but GW stated that all Black library books are approved fluff.

Calm down, calm down, I meant no offense. I just found it funny that you brought up Goto's use of punctuation, spelling, and grammar whilst lacking that which was the topic of your post.

In short: I'm just giving you a hard time, don't take it personally .

Yea they do say that about the books dont they, but if no one reads them there wont be fluff to approve of. and to stop goto there will have to be posts on other website as well, like on heresy-online it will have to be a pretty big joint effort.

i do see we have both made the same mistake in this process and find it hilarious

I dig his stuff. Sorry to be in the minority but anybody who will read through a book just to talk gak about it needs to just find another passtime. Goddamn fluff nazis turn one man's imagination into another man's b!tch session. At least he could write.

"...and then Eisenhorn turned down another corridor and his bodyguard blew the faces off of four chaos mutants that were in their way... and then they finaly found the artifact they had been seeking... and then more cultists started charging at them from every orifice in the room... and then the inquisitor drew his boltgun... and then..."

Except he can't write.

That's the point. If he could write? He'd be doing his own line of novels, or at the very least he would have been kept on with the Black Library.

You don't get to write about whatever you damned well please or throw an established setting's "immutable laws" out the window to insert your "vision". You're hired on to write within a set of rules, and if you can't follow those basics--you can't write.

Some people had a difficult time with potty training too. It's okay. you can let it out. Everyone poops.

And then people like C.S. Goto crap all over the walls.

Coloring outside of the lines doesn't make you special.

I think perhaps we need some context here.

If I were hired to write something for, say the Star Wars universe, and wrote about how all Jedi were perverse, secretly dark-side using paedophiles, I'm sure a lot of the fans would have a problem with it.

That's what people mean about immutable laws. They are, well, immutable.

well senice its not his grammer or his writting skill in question, I think every one here just has a problem with how he writes it, its like he putting what he wants or imagines in to the books he writes insted of following the actual fluff.

If you were hired to write for the Star Wars universe and write something like that...George Lucas would burn your manuscripts, personally, since he has final say over all novels/short stories released.

From what I understand:
Black Library had to either let those books be published...or keep them under wraps, while paying him a massive fee and breaking their contract with him.

At least they tightened up the system afterwards. Small mercies, I guess.

well hes a different kind of "spicel"(slow)

warboss spinetwizta wrote:well hes a different kind of "spicel"(slow)

You know this is an actual person you're talking about, right?

Seriously, whether or not you like his books, there is absolutely no need for this sort of nonsense. Calling the guy a slow (while apparently being yourself unable to spell the word 'special') because his vision of the background story to a game of science fantasy toy soldiers doesn't match your own? I wouldn't even know how to start listing all the reasons that's not cool.

For future reference, discussing their work is fine... but let's lay off the personal attacks on people who aren't around to defend themselves.
