It was at his reading on Friday. Not Silence Divine.

Did anyone go? Did anyone hear Brandon read the first scene of a new Cosmere story?

Because the German readers and the German publisher love Dan's books. Basically, right now, Dan's career is based on German sales. Anything he gets from the UK or US is extra. This is by no means a unique case. I think Greg Egan's books are more popular in Japan than the US. And Marion Zimmer Bradley was much more popular in Germany than the US.

Ha. I totally forgot to wonder about Ralan eating.

Okay all, if there are any other errors to report, I need them within the next 21 hours or so. It's already time for us to make fixes for the mass market paperback. EDIT: OK, here are the changes I sent in. page#¶paragraph# old text >> new text p118¶11 “Sixteen, I think,” Wax said distractedly. >> “Sixteen, I think,” Waxillium said distractedly. p135¶8 shoot the building up, they way their boss >> shoot the building up, the way their boss p195¶9 slowing it down, and only for myself? >> slowing it down, and having to include myself? p202¶12 burn some chromium, and poof, >> burn some cadmium, and poof, p202¶213 Chromium burns way more >> Cadmium burns way more p247¶3 The robberies been become a major >> The robberies had become a major p266¶7 while he'd protected him.

The Valley is on the map, y'know.

I was thinking there were 23 chapters for some reason, but 22 is the final one.

We probably won't get the Rithmatist this year, but we might get another short YA book (that Brandon already wrote and that a lot of people already know about) instead. It's in better shape, needs much less revision. Brandon's original plan was to start Stormlight 2 in January, but the original plan also included finishing AMoL draft 1 by November 8th and finishing another draft or two by January 1st. I was going to say more, but I think I won't.

It's spelled Vallav with a different diacritical mark on the second l indicating it's pronounced with an h sound. But we don't have an example of what that diacritic looks like.

Badali has actually been working on something very similar to this already, so you may be able to buy one before too long.

There are reasons Brandon realized the book was broken and switched to something else.

There are a couple more spots open right now.

That is actually correct as far as I know, but it never comes out in the chapters that were written. Though there may have been more than that.

Alcatraz annotations next. The first and last couple Alloy annotations aren't written. Brandon will probably write Way of Kings annotations during his reread.

Great!

Unfortunately, they are sold out and there won't be more. But...we have a bunch of flyers with them listed that will take us a while to get through... If the movie ever gets made then there will probably be different figurines made after that.

Not really. A bullet shot out of a speed bubble IS robbed of kinetic energy—not all of it, but just enough to slow it down to the speed it would have been moving at had it been fired outside the bubble in the first place.

I haven't read the whole thread. Is there some statement from Brandon that led people to believe an atium spike could steal any power?

Yes, Ranette.

Thanks. I wasn't aware. Bought. I've been waiting for Portal 2 to be cheap. I got Portal 1 for free back in the first week of Steam's Mac release.

You must not know me very well.

What I wanna know is this: Who is Restares?

I read the first Nantucket book and enjoyed parts of it, but the villain was really offputting. The 1632 books are more enjoyable, even though Stirling did it first. Still, I may continue someday.

I really like the 1632 series by Eric Flint. Lest Darkness Fall by Sprague DeCamp is also very good.

This. The technology level is meant to be about 1910 New York, but their electrical wires are mostly underground, and technology lags 1910 in certain areas and is ahead in certain areas (especially metallurgy). Let's say that internal combustion engines are at 1910 level, metallurgy is decades ahead, and anything involving electricity is decades behind. Also, I have no idea at all about the current state of medicine.
