karaokeang Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Teccam, At the last signing I had him sign my Kindle and other books not bought at the bookstore. I did however buy an unrelated book (different author) from the store as a way of thanking the store for hosting Brandon. I would have bought a Brandon book but I owned them all! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Question Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Unfortunately, I am not going to be able to go to the signing after all. I'm having a bit of a health issue and it's probably for the best that I stay home. Darn, I was really looking forward to going and meeting you guys. Please give Brandon my best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmingly Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Please don't go there! Please don't go ... anywhere! Not here, not just now! Okay ...? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teccam Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) Thanks Limelleth and karaokeang. My concerns have been assuaged. Now it's just a matter of getting out to the City. I think I can do it, though it's a bit of a trek for me, and it'll be the third time going out there this week. I'm thinking about taking a question or two from this post by Moogle from a couple weeks ago. Any thoughts?

EnaMai Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 I like that idea Teccam. I still think we need a place to keep track of what questions are unanswered and which are recently answered. I think a google doc will be fine for now, although I might code something up in the future. I've created one for our SF signing at least: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XKRXWDJ-D-7Vz2-lVNtdOz-Nmhx5JkkYnP4FLIHunqA/edit?usp=sharing Please share the answers on the doc. And perhaps we should also "claim" questions so that we don't ask the same ones twice? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartbug Posted March 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Heh. And now I have even more, just from Words of Radiance. Probably another twenty. I don't know how I'm going to ask all of these. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartbug Posted March 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) HUGE Words of Radiance spoilers in these questions. 1. Is Zahel Vasher? 2. Is that the Nightblood from Warbreaker? 3. Is the Terriswoman in this book? 4. Have we seen Darkness in any non SA books? 5. Is Vivenna on Roshar, as well? 6. When does Nightblood and Warbreaker take place in relation to WoR? 7. Does Demoux have some Atium on him? 8. In WoR, do we see anyone with a Spike? 9. How did Vasher lose Nightblood? 10. Does Stormlight fulfill Vasher's need for Breaths? 11. How do you access shadesmar on Nalthis? 12. Does Hoid know about Vasher? 13. Is Nightblood a Shardblade when he's on Roshar, but an Awakened when on Nalthis? 14. Is the vial of sand from White Sand? 15. Will other planets get these types of spotlights in SA? 16. Would Syl have a problem with him wearing Adolin's Shardplate? 17. Is Nightblood more Invested than an Honorblade? 18. How long have you planned this "crossover"? 19. What's the next SA title? 20. When Hoid first meets Shallan, does he burn metals?

Tamzin Ashevai Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 I have to assume that everyone here has recognized that Brandon has updated his Fb profile pic to a current image, ... yes! I like it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartbug Posted March 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Yeah... a part of the issue is his Aes Sedai ability to weasel out of questions. You have to corner him right tight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argent Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Eh, since this is a Words of Radiance tour, spoilery questions about this book are frowned upon. He won't answer any of those in the general Q&A, and asking them when you go for signing / personalization runs the risk of spoiling the book for somebody behind you in the line. Let's all be careful about those things (for example, by writing the questions down and asking for a short written response?) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartbug Posted March 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) New questions, all from Words of Radiance. Heh, I made my own spoiler tags. Ahem. I have a few new questions. 1. Is Mraize a worldhopper? 2. Is there a Terrisman among the soldiers at the end of the book? 3. Is Iyatil a Terriswoman? 4. Was Helaran a fully sworn Skybreaker? 5. Is Nalan actually killing the people he hunts, or is he just using his Shardblade to break the spren bonds before restoring them to life?

Teccam Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) Ugh, I'm still waiting for Barnes & Noble to send me my copy! I haven't even received confirmation that it shipped yet, and when I preordered it I thought I was getting day one shipping. I might just have to pick up a copy in the City and have a spare on hand to give to a friend or something.... I saw that Talenelat recorded audio at the San Diego signing today. Is anyone planning on recording the signing tomorrow? If not, and if I'm able to make it out there, I definitely will record it (Brandon permitting). Though I'll probably not listen to it myself until after I've read the book, to be safe. EDIT: It's looking like I probably won't be able to make it out tonight after all. I'm trying to make it happen, but maybe someone else will be able to record it to be safe? Edited March 6, 2014 by Teccam 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telcontar Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Hej guys. I've been away from this site for a very long time, now hopefully coming back in force when I'll have read WoR. I'll go to the signing tonight. I have no experience at all, though I'll try to get the most information possible out of it. Don't have an audio recorder, just a camera though. Don't know if filming is ok, probably not 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if filming is ok, probably not Most cell phones have a voice memo utility these days. And it should continue to record even while your phone is asleep. If you charge your phone and ask for permission to record before the session starts, Brandon will likely permit you to set your phone on the desk for the duration of the event. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Question Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 although I was unable to make it to the convention for health reasons, my good friend Anaroth85 asked one of my questions for me: "During the Final Empire Era, had anyone on Scadrial, particularly Sazed, Tindwyl, or Elend, read The Way of Kings?" The answer was no. However, another world already has and other worlds we haven't seen yet as well. Thanks Anaroth! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartbug Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 I got the whole q and a, as well as the majority of the signing. Yeah, I heard the question about Way of Kings. It was great. Will post audio soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telcontar Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) I have the Q&A too, though apart from that WoK-question, the rest was mostly usual stuff like the working title of Stormlight 3. The exact WoK-question and answer was: Q: Has anybody read the WoK on any other world, particularly Sazed, Elend or [unaudible due to laughter]? A: "The Way of Kings as a novel is known off-world, but not on any of the planets you mentioned. At least not currently." My question at the signing was: Q: On the planets in the Cosmere, we've seen so far, do all of the humans have Innate Investiture? A: He said that we hadn't yet seen the planet, where the humans don't have it, so yes, the humans we've seen have Innate Investiture. He was explicit about Scadrial and confirmed that drabs on Nalthis don't have Innate Investiture. Rosharians have it. Q: As to the Innate Investiture on Roshar, which Shard is it from A: RAFO Interesting parts (at leats in my opinion): There is a planet in the Cosmere where humans don't have Innate Investiture. And: humans on Sel have Innate Investiture. I'll get to you if there is some other interesting point on my record.

anaroth85 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 When I talked to him I asked him when we would get Hoid's books. He said after the Stormlight series, hoid will get his 3 prequel books, and the other three of hoids are the final three mistborn books. And he said the next 3 main story mistborn books will be after the first 5 stormlight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windrunner Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Firstly, welcome back Telcontar! I did a double take when I saw your name on the recent posts. A quick question. What did he say is the working title of Stormlight 3? I've heard Stones Unhallowed (my favorite) and Skybreaker, but there have been hints that there may be a new one. Did he say anything different? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asperity Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 I wonder if we're getting White Sand right after all of SA unless the Hoid trilogy is something completely different because other than White Sand, I think Dragonsteel is the only other long series as far as a prequel or heavy-Cosmere-related goes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamzin Ashevai Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Oh, well ... I had to work too late tonight to make it to the signing in time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argent Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Hmm. I now wonder what exactly the Stormfather means when he calls Kaladin "child of Honor." Is he referring to Kaladin's Surgebinding abilities, or the fact that he is human and therefore - of Honor ('s Investiture)? I had been assuming the former, but I now find the latter just as likely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
