Typos usually get fixed in the next paper printing. I tell them to fix them in the ebook too, but I really don't know if or how quickly that happens.

Don't bother looking for errors. It's a first draft.

Actually this is a very important step. But it could still fall through.

The general rule when you do a Basic Lashing is that it replaces all other Basic Lashings (including the planet's gravity) on you or the object. The default Basic Lashing strength is 1 Roshar gravity. As you get more practiced you can use partial lashings or multiple Lashings, or (Kaladin does this accidentally one time) NOT dismiss the previous Lashings entirely, so that different Lashings are pulling in different directions. But usually when someone does a Lashing, you should assume that Lashing's effect is the only "gravity" that currently exists for that person or thing.

Here's what I wrote about it on Goodreads: I expected this to be a book where fantastical elements play some role. What I got was a pseudo-Viking-era adventure story, that is enjoyable and skillfully executed for what it is. I'll keep this simple. Here's a quote from the book: If that description interests you, then this book is one you should check out.

Yep. Good Log Horizon ep. 12 or 13 years ago I watched the first half of Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040. Now I have finally watched the second half. And I really shouldn't have bothered. There were many things I liked about the show, but once Galatea showed up it just got weirder and weirder, and the ending made no sense whatsoever.

Actually Brandon did this in Elantris with a poem based on the style of Beowulf. None of the poem actually appears in the published book though. And we can't find the longer version of the poem. It's probably on a really old laptop.

No. Lashing is not a vector addition to the planet's gravity. When you use a Lashing, you dismiss the planet's gravity's influence on you entirely. The "the the" typo was fixed. Jost and Jest are brothers.

Sorry, it's slipping more, now to November. But we're almost done. This week we're sending the pages to the authors so they can sign off on them, and then we'll send it to the printer.

Cowboy Bebop does have some episodes that I'm not fond of. As a whole, the series should be viewed as an artistic endeavor that's more ambitious than the average anime. Most series are there to tell a story, and while Cowboy Bebop does have a story, it's more meta that usual (essentially, the series is about Spike's karma). Each episode is also based around a specific musical genre, and more effort goes into the music than on any other show. I long considered Cowboy Bebop to be the best series ever, but after rewatching it I have to cede that crown to FMA:B. There are many things that Cowboy Bebop puts more effort into than FMA:B, but ultimately FMA:B is loads more satisfying. On another note, we watched the first four episodes of Ergo Proxy last night, due to the recommendation on the previous page. It's hard to figure out at first what's going on, but it's interesting. Also, very bloody in some parts.

I would love to see a manga for anything of Brandon's. Brandon retains the graphic novel rights for his books. You are free to make some pages as fan art (Brandon likes fan art, and there's lots of fan art out there), but quantity is an issue with fair use.

Ryan, thanks. We may try that out. If we do, I will keep an eye on lists of filler episodes to avoid. Last night we watched the first two episodes of 07-Ghost. So far so good. But man, it being a Zero Sum series just makes me regret all over again that the Hatenkoyugi anime wasted so much potential. They had 10 episodes and they decided to focus on filler arcs from the manga instead of getting to the meat in the story. I could have easily come up with a good first-major-plot-arc storyline for them to cover in 10 episodes. I am a huge Hatenkoyugi fan. Sigh.

My response to this topic: Hmmmmmmm.

We did watch a couple of One Piece episodes a couple years ago, but it was too random. Is there somewhere in the middle we can try to start watching where we won't be too lost? I did say No Game No Life's fanservice was over the top. It doesn't decrease as the series progresses, though I have to admit there was one particular fanservice thing in episode 6 that was quite creatively done. And it looks like Sword Art Online is not ending. They're clearly at the end of this arc (I hope it finishes up in less than half an episode), so I guess we get two or more arcs in this season. It does annoy me when characters go completely psychotic though. We watched the first episode of Terraformars, but it's too gory. Also started watching Noragami on Netflix. About a god with few believers, and a girl whose spirit keeps accidentally coming out of her body. And they fight phantoms. It's rather like early Bleach, and so far it's entertaining if not original.

You can have an upvote!

Bwahahaha! You should see what he actually wrote.

We didn't exactly give permission. Brandon does want this to be a bonus for the newsletter subscribers. However, we knew this would happen, and Brandon doesn't want to play whack-a-mole. So it's more like no lo contendere than permission.

What makes you think Szeth was trained as an assassin?

The final episode of Hunter X Hunter was great. For an anime that caught up to the manga and had to stop, they stopped in a fantastic place and did a perfect job of it. The final episode of Space Brothers didn't much try to do that. They just basically caught up to the manga and that was it. I do like the show and will watch more if more is ever made. It's very different from my usual fare though. The pace is a lot slower. Haikyuu!! was my big surprise this year. I haven't watched much sports anime before (aside from Hikaru no Go and Chihayafuru), but this show had such good character development. I really got into it, and the end of the first season was textbook how you end a first season of something that will likely continue later. However, my wife just didn't get as into it. She really prefers shows with some kind of fantastical element—or rather, a little more of the "strange" in the strange vs. familiar. Chihayafuru and Silver Spoon both had enough of the "strange" even though they were completely real-world based (of course really strong writing helps). Haikyuu!! is just about volleyball, which is much more mundane than agricultural school or poetry-based card games. We are watching Captain Earth (we're maybe halfway through), but it's very middle-of-the-road teenage mechs pilot show. Knights of Sidonia was much more compelling. Still, Captain Earth does have its moments. The first episode was very strong. I assume Sword Art Online is ending this week, but I also assume it will be back later. The current season has continued to be very good. We also hope that No Game No Life will return. That was a really fun show to watch, though the fan service could get a bit over the top. We still don't have a shounen to replace Hunter X Hunter (or, heck, Bleach, which we finished over a year ago). Log Horizon is coming back...next week? I'm stoked!

The Stormfather speaks in small caps. It's hard to tell a small caps o apart from a regular lowercase o. Also, I've fixed the Blades count thing by having Teleb use a King's Blade on the expedition. Moash's eye color will also need to be changed in Way of Kings.

Oh, tsundere Syl, how I have missed you! Excellent job once again.

Probably. Details are still being worked out. It might be only one day.

He might not!

Alcatraz recovered both.
