TsiaSoSpork: Part 1, Chapter 4: Anguish

Paolini… shocker of shocker… doesn’t understand how to treat grand mal seizures. Oh, and all the extras die in a strangely horny death scene, but whatever.

TsiaSoSpork Part 1, Chapter 2: Exogenesis: Reliquary

No alien relics! Very disappointing. Since the title is referencing relics, I was hoping for some alien religions but it's just some murder dust. Once again, Paolini has let me down.

Daniel Greene Paolini Interview Transcript, Jul, 18, 2020

[Daniel Greene, 2020-07-18] Transcript of Christopher Paolini Talks Eragon, To Sleep In A Sea of Stars, & Fantasy!

This one’s about an hour long. The opening made me almost quit, it took like two days to get through the first five minutes. I don’t know if this is worse then the HFM one? It sure feels like it. Anyway, a lot of repeated responses and stuff, this interview was before the HFM one.

Spork of Hello Future Me Interview Part 1

Christopher Paolini – Eragon author talks about worldbuilding, fantasy/sci-fi, how to plot, and themes transcription #drama

Edward: Paolini and I are opposites. He researches nothing and I research everything. He uses complex words and I prefer simple ones. His heroes are sociopaths, a condition I reserve for villains. I could list more examples but suffice it to say Paolini is my authorial nemesis. He is the opposite of authorial me in every way. He is rich, famous and published. So when I was invited to spork his interview I leapt at the opportunity.

Silver: I made the transcription… I wanted to spork this interview badly. But I didn’t think I could survive it on my own, so I recruited Edward! And now for the spork.

Christopher Paolini - Hello Future Me Interview, Aug 7, 2020 part 1

I went ahead and cut out all the stutters and filler words and stuff. So this is the perfect transcription, rather then the real one. Why did I transcribe this? I did this because… a part of me really hates myself. Apologies for any grammatical errors, it took all my willpower to listen.
