Net worth over a billion dollars...This is not a cash grab. This is exploring the potential of a vast world she created.

I think she should do what Tolkien did: expand the fantasy universe

I don't blame her. If she has cool ideas rolling around in her mind about

2/10/16 11:10am

The thing is that she has never once had a cool idea in her life

ummmm, you're probably on the short end of that opinion
