AndrewStirlingMacDonald he/him Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 My wife Rachel and I are coming up from Allentown, so we'll probably be staying the night at a hotel or a relative's house that night. I'm thinking that if people are interested in hanging out after the signing at a diner or something and discussing the Cosmere into the wee hours of the night, I'd love to do that. Anyone from the Boston area, or others that are staying overnight and want to hang out?
ccstat he/him Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 I'll probably be there. I'm moving to Boston around that time, and I'll try to make it work. If my schedule permits, I'd love to do a meet-up with dinner etc.
ccstat he/him Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 My schedule changed, and it looks like I won't arrive in MA until several days after the signing. It is now very unlikely that I will be at the event. :-( I hope those going have a good time and get to meet up. I will update here if my plans change to allow me to attend. 1
AndrewStirlingMacDonald he/him Posted October 9, 2015 Author Posted October 9, 2015 As it stands now I will be taking a Greyhound up Tuesday night, and then catching it back at 1am after the signing 1
The Sovereign Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) Brutal, the things we do to see BS eh? I'm driving there from work and then Driving back to Cape Cod, not a terrible trip but still about 2 hours... Edited October 9, 2015 by Iron Eyes
zandi she/her Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) I'll be going...I haven't read sos yet as i am getting my copy at the event so if anyone has a sos question that i can understand (spoilers ok) let me know and I'll try to blurt it out... also- i don't think I've seen this but i may have missed it...has anyone ever asked about the stones kaladin's brother picks up in wok? i have always wondered if they are significant. is this a question that has been asked/answered? or is it too idiotic a question?

I was thinking of asking it... I am having trouble finding the relevent WoB, but I vaguely remember reading one that said they had no significance other than they were important to Tien and by extension important to Kaladin since they came from Tien. 1
zandi she/her Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Thanks for answering! Sort of a bummer though- I was hoping for something there. oh well.... So I will just have to pick another question Decisions, decisions....
Argent he/him Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Be aware, in most signings you can easily fit 2-3 questions during the personalization line. More if you go to the back of the line for another go. 1
WeiryWriter he/him Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 If you need questions to ask you can also look through the Ultimate List. (That list was updated just before SoS was released so you don't have to worry about spoilers from that, though there are plenty for other books). 1
zandi she/her Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 OK:) I will try for a few - I am happy to put in your pet question if you like since I am having trouble deciding! Let me know...

Yes - I am definitely going through- I just am having trouble picking....suggestions for most urgent are welcome!
Argent he/him Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) What interests you? One thing, for example, I am curious about is whether Hemalurgically spiking an unSnapped Misting or Mistborn causes them to Snap, either from the spike or from its removal.

AndrewStirlingMacDonald he/him Posted October 13, 2015 Author Posted October 13, 2015 Greyhound tickets purchased! I'm leaving from Allentown tonight at 8, hanging around NYC until 4am, then arriving in Boston at 8:30 am. I'm going to spend the day in town, any other 17thers going to be wandering aimlessly all day? Maybe we can meet up for lunch, or supper, or just to hang out somewhere. I'll be the big bearded guy in a kilt. I might also spend a few hours hanging out at the bookstore trying to strike up Cosmere-centric conversations. I've also been working on developing a Mistborn Duel strategy game, a two player game not entirely unlike chess, if there are people who'd enjoy test-playing it. My bus back home leaves at 1 am. 2
masaru Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 I mentioned this in the the Lansing thread, but I'm really curious about the timeframe the Ars Arcanum are written in-world. We know they are written by a Cosmere knowledgeable person in-world and they are all written by the same person, but the time frame is murky. Are they written from some point in the future (space Mistborn) or are they written concurrently with the action in the novel they appear? If so, that means the author is several hundred years old. Elantris to Stormlight is at least 700-800 years, I think. If there is a way you can ask about this, I'd be grateful.
Argent he/him Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 We are fairly confident they are pretty contemporary. Not necessarily being written during exactly in the same timeframe as the events in the books, but pretty close (within a few years, I'd say). 1
Robot Aztec Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 ask if red parts of new spikes are same metal as silver parts 1

One thing, for example, I am curious about is whether Hemalurgically spiking an unSnapped Misting or Mistborn causes them to Snap, either from the spike or from its removal. Argent, I'll make sure I ask Brandon about this for you. I really like this question. 1

One thing, for example, I am curious about is whether Hemalurgically spiking an unSnapped Misting or Mistborn causes them to Snap, either from the spike or from its removal. I'm interested at the moment on how belief, observation and perception influence spren and magic on Roshar and how that relates to the physics of it as we saw in the scholars part...and Parshendi Ok since Iron Eyes is asking for you I am trying to frame a question around observation/perception/belief. But I am having troubles.... Robot Aztec - I will try and get that in but since I haven't reread ahead (didn't know I'd be able to go) and haven't read SoS yet you will have to refresh me on that - feel free to inbox me - as to what you are getting at and I will be happy to ask if I can get more than one or two in! (I may stutter and trip over myself). Please forgive my out of dateness on spiking theories I have to read Sos and then reread the first four since it has been awhile and I have a very faulty memory lately. Am also looking through the ultimate list.... Really looking forward to this since it is my first signing! Edited October 14, 2015 by zandi 1

Not necessarily being written during exactly in the same timeframe as the events in the books, but pretty close (within a few years, I'd say). Has this been discussed already? I wasn't able to find anything about it.
AndrewStirlingMacDonald he/him Posted October 14, 2015 Author Posted October 14, 2015 I'm going to be asking him about the changes to the Metallurgic symbols between the eras - specifically why Brass lost its dot, but no others did.
Asperity he/him Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 Elantris to Stormlight is at least 700-800 years, I think. Actually a little over 300 years, unless something has changed within the last half a year or so. It goes along the lines of: >Elantris/Warbreaker/original Mistborn trilogy occurring around the same rough timeframe Then the 3xx year gap >Stormlight/Alloy books As far as major novels go so far.
Windrunner he/him Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 Unless you have a quote Kythis, I disagree with you. I've never seen Brandon state that Elantris, Mistborn Era 1, and Warbreaker happen concurrently. In fact, I'm pretty sure there's a significant gap between Elantris and Mistborn. Did I miss something? Brandon's mostly stopped talking about timelines over the past couple years anyway. 1
Khyrindor he/him Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 Also, isn't Warbreaker supposed to be between era 1 Mistborn and Alloy? Elantris is "hurndreds but not thousands of years" before anything else. There was a WoB I saw on that I while ago.
