Kurkistan he/him Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 As I mentioned a few days ago, it has been my intent for the last while to go on a short hiatus from the forums once WoR's release became imminent, so as to avoid spoilers. With the Amazon leak of that 7th chapter and Brandon apparently reading the Epilogue of WoR at LTUE, I begin to fear that a critical mass of "information some random Sharder could accidentally mention and so spoil the book for me" has been reached. As such, I shall be taking my leave of the site for three weeks or so, until I've read WoR in an unspoiled fashion. I'll be filtering out all email alerts (including for PM's) and only visiting the Sanderson Elimination boards (at least until Kukri dies ), and that infrequently. If anyone desperately needs to get in touch with me, I have an email address listed on my profile, and I do intend to keep an eye on that. ---- I also invite anyone else taking a similar vacation to post on this thread and let the forum as a whole know, so that everyone knows we're gone on purpose and that Brandon hasn't ascended us. 1
bartbug he/him Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Tears up... I'm gonna miss you, Kurk. Unfortunately, I don't have as much will power as you do. While I can easily avoid spoilers that Brandon hasn't leaked, I find it impossible to avoid the ones that he has given out. So of course, I will religiously look for the epilogue, especially since he told us that it would have external magic systems. Thank you for having the strength that I lack.
bookspren Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 I too will soon be taking a break from these boards. It's just to hard to be on here without seeing unwanted spoilers and sadly I don't get the book until March 7 at the earliest. So, yeah, I better keep my distance for a bit.
Elbereth she/her Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 While I can easily avoid spoilers that Brandon hasn't leaked, I find it impossible to avoid the ones that he has given out. So of course, I will religiously look for the epilogue, especially since he told us that it would have external magic systems.It doesn't.Child, just one question: A long while back, Brandon said that the epilogue to WoR should have familiar magics (not from Roshar). Is this still true? Do you have a quote on that? Anyway the answer is no.Of course, it could be magic from somewhere we haven't seen yet, I guess...
ccstat he/him Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 I was going to stay on the boards until release day, but even the daily glimpses and the speculation about them are getting a bit too risky for me. I think I'm going to take a hiatus until I finish the book. That won't be super fast, this time (life and stuff happening), so I'll be back in a few weeks, probably about the time all the fevered excitement is dying down. I'm sure everyone will enjoy their read of WoR almost as much as I do. Can't wait to see all the cool cosmere details everyone digs up at the various signings. New book and fresh WoB, incoming!
firstRainbowRose she/her Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 It doesn't. Of course, it could be magic from somewhere we haven't seen yet, I guess... To clarify, I believe the quote in question refers to the end of the book as a whole, and if so the piece will be very obvious once you have read it.
bartbug he/him Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Woot! So much goods, especially after thinking that it would not be there after all. I swear, this is the element (ha ha) of WoR that inspires the most excitement from me.
Edgedancer he/him Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 I can understand leaving the forum for a while. To be honest I don´t enter the Cosmere and SA parts either. Right now I carefully participate in the other parts, although I just leave, if there is even a chance of WoR spoilers.
Claincy he/him Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Yeah, I won't leave. But I won't be touching the stormlight archive or cosmere forums. Then again, I don't tend to end up in them a lot anyway
Delightful Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 The amount of "there used to be a spoiler but had since been edited out" posts are scaring me. I'm outta here till I'm finished reading. Well, that's the plan anyway. :l
Moogle Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) I will be on hiatus until I finish WoR! So... like two days at most? I think I'll read it once and just enjoy everything, do a reread and start marking down theories and coalescing information, and then come back. Edited March 3, 2014 by Moogle
bartbug he/him Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Well, seeing as this site normally gives me my Sanderson fix, and WoR will have more of that than I can handle... I think I won't really be on, mostly because I won't need to be on. 1
GreyPilgrim he/him Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Well now that Chapter 7 is public, there is no more hiding. I have not read any preview chapters besides 2 and Lift, so I can go straight through, hopefully spoiler free. I shall return in about 2 weeks.
