I'm super excited I am too!!! I'll be the girl in the large crimson sweater, crazy colored hair, and looking rather nervous in the manga section. Ready to finally meet some fellow Sharders! @chx--Lol, I'm coming from Germany to go to this signing. High-five fellow hardcore fan! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjl Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Anyone know how long the line will be at a UK event - nervous that having it only be 1 hours long will mean lots of us not getting a chance to even reach the front of the line... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be sure to look out for you. Nobody among my family or friends are Brandon fans so it'll be nice to meet fellow fans in person finally Oh and I'll be the short guy, dark hair, clean-shaven, with a black backpack and...I have no idea what I'll be wearing so i'm gonna keep you in suspense over that one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what Brandon has said, they normally keep the store open for the signing for an extra hour or two so don't worry too much! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParadoxicalZen Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 I'll be there, but I have no idea what i'll be wearing. Probably a TeeTurtle t-shirt. What time is everyone getting there for? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But although Brandon has many readers, I don't think there are so many in London that it would take more than an hour. Idk, maybe I'm wrong. but I don't think there's any reason to worry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know anything about the London crowd, but I think you'll be surprised You also have to keep in mind that London is neither too far nor too expensive for fans from other countries to fly in just for this event - which is something I am sure will happen a little bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kari-no-sugata Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 I hope to go to this event. The previous one I went to lasted for like 4 hours. Brandon is amazing to his fans! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

readergirl7 Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 I am wondering one thing ... though its more convenient for me to attend the signing in London.. won't traveling to an event that has an additional talk be better? Newcastle this Friday for example? I just feel like I want to meet Sanderson, get my book signed, but also listen to him at least give a small talk. Just standing in line for an hour or more to get a book signed seems.. not enough? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParadoxicalZen Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) Newcastle will probably be less packed than London. The SoS signing was pretty busy but I got a fairly close spot in line (and this was years ago so I can't remember what time I left for). I'll be in a TeeTurtle t-shirt and a slouch beanie so feel to drop me a fistbump/high-five or even a yarn/chat cause Harmony knows i need more Cosmere-versed friends/acquaintances!

Gavin-son-son-Odegard Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) Well I'm on my way to Forbbiden Plaent. I'll be there in like half an hour to 40 minutes. I think. I wanted to be there a lot earlier but I overslept. Storms! I hope the queue isn't too crazy. I'll see you all - those who are coming at least - there. ETA: @readergirl7, I got an email newsletter from Brandon last night, sent to those in/nearby the London area, and in it he said there's gonna be a reading and a Q&A as well in the London event. Update: Ok I asked the staff at Forbbiden Planet and they say it's only gonna be a signing, so I'm not sure anymore. Also there's no queue as of yet.

Here it goes then: Spoiler Me: So Cultivation, how does she figure into this conflict with Odium? Brandon: People in universe assume that she's hiding but I would disagree with that. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kk- Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 I'm on my way home now from the signing, and also asked a question but (predictably I suppose) got RAFO'd. Mine was: (Oathbringer spoilers) Spoiler Was Melishi bonded to the Sibling? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was: Hide contents Was Melishi bonded to the Sibling? That was almost gonna be my question but last minute I changed it. There were like 100 people when I got there but the queue moved quite quickly and it only took an hour but behind me the queue was snaking along corners so that by the end instead of telling people to go round the back the staff were telling us to go a few streets along to get to the end. I was so annoyed that they cancelled the reading but I do agree that the venue was a tad too small. Apparently my suggestion of Brandon standing on a nearby rooftop and shouting his gospel down from the heavens was "impractical" or whatever so the lady I talked to said that next time they'd try and get him a bigger venue. My question was Spoiler Me: If Dalinar forged a connection between Sja Anat and cultivation or honour or what have you- would she be able to corrupt a void spren to a normal spren? Brandon: Hmmm.. maybe Me: What about a fused? Brandon: With the fused it's almost the same because they're basically cognitive shadows but hmmm (while kinda wiggling his hands) maybe- I don't know how you'd write that on the forums but yeah My friend: What's your favourite spren in the stormlight archive? Brandon: That's like asking me to pick between my children- I'd probably say pattern at the moment I had so much fun today and I can't believe how long I've gotta wait til I do it again 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Shardbound Posted November 28, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Just got back from the signing, and I now have enough blood flow to my fingers to type again. I was able to ask a few questions, hope you all enjoy the answers; Spoiler Q: Do all Shards Pair off with opposite intents or are there outliers? A: No, they don't all have opposites. Q: Is Hoid's inability to do harm voluntary or imposed on him? A: It's not voluntary. Q: Was that remark from Sigzil about queuing being a national pastime in his country a dig at us Brits? A: Um . . . Yes. Q: Were the Surges used by humans before Roshar, the ones that destroyed their previous home, the same as the Radiants are using now? A: Yes but a different magic system. he congratulated me for not getting RAFO'd, so I hope you all find these useful. Unfortunately I just know I'm going to think of half a dozen questions tomorrow when I can't ask them. 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalamitous_emoashions Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Just got back from the signing and want to post what I asked - as got some interesting answers, but I don't know how to do the hidden content thing, and don't want to spoil for anyone. Can anyone let me know how to do it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
