I can see that being true, although those ages were never stated in the book itself. There was no no indication that that many years had passed since Ender's Shadow.

Shadow Puppets, the third book in the Shadow series, sees Petra Arkanian deciding to settle and engage in a relationship with Bean. This books features a sex scene between the two despite Bean being roughly 8 and Petra 13. They marry in this same book.

It's a completely ridiculous level of speculation. I have no idea how you can read "secret" and jump to "affair!"

Anyone who would think that is being ridiculous.

Even at 14 a child knows that they wield a certain level of power over children younger than them. Most 14-year-olds are also likely much larger and taller than an 8-year-old. This girl knew what she was doing. She knew that she was taking advantage. She is a rapist.

The Shadow series pandered to Bean's character, destroyed Peter's role in the universe, and promoted pre-pubescent sex, marriage and childbirth as well as incest. How is that better than the Ender series?

Does it really matter? It really disturbs me how much someone so distant can affect another's life. Usually it's because that person doesn't have anything better to do with their time.

Why the Franco hate? What, exactly, makes him pretentious for directing a film that would interest quest a lot of people?

"Publically" is an acceptable variant of publicly.

"Word of God" as in the showrunners/writers.

At least there was a comic series following Newt and Hicks before Alien 3 was filmed.

Was Diana not white?

I really don't like Diana anyways. Who cares if this offends people? She cheated on her husband, constantly. She partied late while others raised her children. She was not a good role model.

Who else would you suggest as "mainstream" female sex performers? There really aren't any others known to the public. Miss Stanger is not as outdated as you seem to think.

You are mistaken. Count Fenring was a potential Kwisatz Haderach, not Feyd-Rautha. The book describes from Paul's perspective this: "Fenring was one of the might-have-beens, an almost Kwisatz Haderach, crippled by a flaw in the genetic pattern — a eunuch, his talent concentrated into furtiveness and inner seclusion."

They just look naturally tanned. Your Oompa Loompa comment is just utterly offensive.

Which was ripped-off from Dune.

I created an account when I was 12 because it seemed like a good place to hook up with other people for sexy talks. It wasn't.

I only purchase one game per generation, so a PC would not end up being the better buy.

I have a couple asexual friends. While I wouldn't consider myself to be one, I do have zero sex drive.
