Shardbearer Applications!

Hey everyone!  So, we have very exciting news.  17th Shard has been asked to organize a set of helpers for THE WAY OF KINGS book release party at BYU on the night of the 30th.

This will be similar to what the stormleaders did for TGS, except for the fact that there won't be any fancy dinners.  HOWEVER!  Thanks to the wonderful man in charge of stormblessed.com, we can now offer a tee shirt!

What you would do is go along the line and talk with people, handing out activities, doing anything Brandon asked you to.

Unfortunately the bookstore asked us to keep the group small, so aside from a few staff members we only have three spots available.  We will be choosing those three, and let you know who you are by the 28th of this month.

If you are intrested, please feel out the questions below and e-mail them to [email protected]

Name:

Age:

E-mail address:

Have you ever helped Brandon out before (at event "gofer", stormleader, etc)?  If so, when and how?

Are you part of any other online communities?  If so, what is your username?  (TWG, and WoT communities included, please)

Why would you like to be a shardbearer?

Any other information you feel we should know

If you are planning on attending one of the other events, and are interested in giving a report or taking pictures for that event to be posted on the 17th shard forum and blog, please feel out the information above, adding in which event you are interested in reporting on.  Obviously this won't be as active of an assignment as that of the midnight release, but we would still love to have people help out.  Mainly we are interested in a report of what questions are asked during the Q&A sessions (as well as the responses given), and any other cool things you feel like sharing.  And as a thank you we will try to get you a set of the mistborn decals.

Also, if you are a bookstore and are intrested in us doing something similar for your store, please feel free to contact us through the [email protected], with the subject line of "Shardbearers".

One final note; if you have an idea for an activity that you think might be fun, feel free to e-mail us with the suggestion.  We can't guarantee that it will happen, but we will defiantly take it under consideration.

Well, it's time to officially announce who is going to be a shardbearer!  We had a tough time deciding from all of the great applications, but finally we narrowed it down to:

MIDNIGHT RELEASE

Zach Stay

Spencer Pranger

Chris Hansen

CHICAGO

Chris Long

ATLANTA

Rachel Little

If you are interested in doing a report for one of the other signings that aren't already listed, we still have options available.

Thank you for everyone sent us an application, and make sure you enjoy the book!

Woohoo. Can't wait to write up a nice report for everyone on the Chicago signing. If you see me there, say hello! (check my profile for what I look like)

Now to get a signing in Calgary or Edmonton (alberta, canada). Seriously. How would we go about pulling this off?

Hmmm, good question! Since it looks like Brandon came to Raleigh by a Facebook group, maybe you should do that.

Brandon has told quite a few groups (a few in Canada most recently) to start Facebook groups, and get people who are actually serious about attending to join/like/whatever them. It's something a bit more tangible that he can send to TOR when they're looking at what cities to set up.

Thank You. I was uncertain how a FB group got noticed enough to make the bigwigs choose a location, but that makes a lot of sense. I will be setting it up shortly!
