Ghanderflaffle she/her Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 I’m so storming excited! Dawnshard is being sent out to Kickstarter backers today! This is the prelude to the insomnia I will have when RoW comes out, because I’m not sleeping if there's reading to be done! (And the authors get a kickback from the caffeine industry ) 5
+Child of Hodor Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 Between checking the news for updates on the US election and checking for updates on what day/time Dawnshard is coming this week I have been fruitlessly checking websites way too much . Today is the day though, so pumped! 4
pjmaster78 Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 Do we know this for sure? I haven’t seen any official announcement or confirmation. I thought it was just expected today 1

I’m pretty sure it won’t be available to non Kickstarter backers until after RoW, for physical copies I think it's January. I don’t know on ebooks.

I don’t know on ebooks. Just looked it up on the Facebook post. Here's the quote from a day ago. Quote Dawnshard Update: Peter is just finishing the last proofreading and editing changes. After that, he has to format it and create the ebook. Right now, he's saying it should be sent out to kickstarter backers on Thursday. Once we confirm that has happened, we'll work on getting it into ebook stores, which might take another couple of days. (For those who will ask: There should be an audio sometime in the future, but not for a year at least. Same for print books in bookstores, though kickstarter backers should get their print copies early next year. I have no specific news on translations, though many of my foreign publishers are planning to do editions.) So it looks like it will be available for those of us that missed out on or where unable contribute to the Kickstarter within the week. Edited November 5, 2020 by Knight Oblivion Forgot to put when the post was. 3

So it sounds like it shouldn't be more than a few days for e-book folks if I'm reading this correctly. 2

I have checked my (personal) email at least 20 times today, plus checking back here on the Shard News page, plus Brandon's site, plus his Twitter feed. SO excited!!! 1
Sixth Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 I keep checking my email every 5 minutes. I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS, GIMME! 1
AonEne he/him Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 I can’t even do that, it’ll go to my mom’s email the hype is too much! 3
Ghanderflaffle she/her Posted November 5, 2020 Author Posted November 5, 2020 It needs to come in the next hour, when I am technically allowed to be on my phone. (Or after school, but then I have one act to deal with) 4
Xerun Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 4am here in Australia. But who could possibly sleep on Dawnshard Day? 4

Innovation Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 Between checking this and the election, I have no idea no I’ve gotten stuff done today.

pjmaster78 Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 My SO is watching the Bachelorette tonight at 8, so hoping we have it by then! It'll be great to have some uninterrupted reading time
StormingTexan he/him Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 Maybe tomorrow Quote Dawnshard Ebook The Dawnshard ebook is almost finished and will be going out sometime late today or tomorrow to all of those who have finished their surveys (see the “BackerKit Survey” section below). If you haven’t finished your survey, you will not be able to access the Dawnshard download. Huge thanks to Peter, Kristy, Ben, and all of the beta readers, all who contributed in some way to put the ebook together. A large portion of the ebook process falls on Peter’s shoulders, but I hope you’ll see when you get the book that he’s one of the best in the business at putting these together. I’ve never seen ebooks that work better than the ones he’s assembled. Here’s the process for how you will receive the ebook files. When we get the finished files, we upload them to BackerKit, who then sends you an email with a link to your account page featuring the digital downloads from the campaign. 3
