firstRainbowRose she/her Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 I figured it might be better to have everyone reacting to the new rules for the line in one place, thus this topic. Personally, I think this is a good idea since it keeps everyone out of the cold. 2
WeiryWriter he/him Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 This thread is in reference to the BYU Bookstore's new policy that Brandon posted about here.
Lightning he/him Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Okay, so I understand how to get into the raffle for books 1-100. But how do I get a good place on the digital line? That part wasn't very clear.
firstRainbowRose she/her Posted September 17, 2015 Author Posted September 17, 2015 Sign up early in the day. Outside of the raffle it's based on the time your form was received (I think...)
Chaos he/him Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Sign up early in the day. Outside of the raffle it's based on the time your form was received (I think...) That is correct.
Lightning he/him Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Hmmm... but can't I ALREADY sign up to get the pre-ordered book at the BYU store? What do you mean sign up early in the day?
little wilson she/her Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 How early you preorder your book has no bearing on your place in the digital line. The digital line is separate. If you want to be in the raffle for the first 100 numbers, you need to register on the digital line in the first 24 hours. After that, it's based on the order you sign up in the line. So if you don't make the hundred, it's about signing up on the digital line early to get a lower number (though it'll be around 400 because of Wellers and the other bookstores).

Oh, that makes a lot of sense. So I just have to order by Oct. 1st to keep whatever number I get. Final question: as far as I could tell, we are supposed to check the website around noon tomorrow for the digital line website. Is that right?
Lightning he/him Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 I was checking right up until my class started at 12:00pm. So I missed the sign-up time by about 55 minutes. Oh well, maybe I'll get REALLY lucky in the raffle.
Seonid he/him Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 Can I go to the midnight release party if I don't pre-order a copy of Shadows of Self? Or if I want to order the new edition of Elantris instead, will that count?
Zas678 he/him Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Yes, of course you can go to the midnight release, but I think that you'd have to wait in line (possibly at the back? I'm not sure) if you want a book signed. But as far as I know, you're welcome to be there and listen to Brandon, and meet sharders, and all that jazz. And like Brandon says, if you are going to a signing at a place, it's a good idea to get a book from there to show some appreciation for them doing this for Brandon.
Lightning he/him Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) zas678, Are you sure they can get into the midnight release? I seem to remember at the last BYU release, we had to have the wristbands we got from ordering the book. But maybe I'm misremembering... Edited September 21, 2015 by Lightning
Zas678 he/him Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 I don't know. I wasn't there for Words of Radiants, it could be different than I'm remembering. EDIT- Though I bet it would be a lot easier if you preordered Elantris from BYU- that would make it a lot easier to get in if they are being picky.
