Yes. It's a fact of modern life, most people aren't readers, and when they do read they'll just pick something popular and accessible. I think I was in Primary School when I gave up trying to find people who were reading the same things I was.

Yeah, I was gonna say. I suspect Alan Rickman is the sole reason there are Snape fans.

Comment from this page https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dragonsteel/the-way-of-kings-10th-anniversary-leatherbound-edition/posts/2922860 re: Digital Art Pack "I think it's often linked with the Digital Novella in documentation that we overlooked adding it separately. It's possible they will both be delivered together. It's still up in the air, but would be in that Oct - Dec time frame." We also know that they're hoping to release Dawnshard before Row. So, possibly in the next 5 1/2 weeks, alongside Dawnshard.

Sounds like OP wants to take an ethics paper Would I kill someone to stop them killing me or an innocent-other-than-me? I don't know. It's very circumstantial. If I had reason to believe that the killer would go on to kill other people, I'd like to think I would kill them to prevent further harm to others. If I thought they'd kill me only, and then kill nobody else, maybe I wouldn't? I dunno!

Least Favorite non-Brandon Character
Snorkel replied to Toaster Retribution's topic in Entertainment Discussion
I don't include characters I love to hate. Dolores Umbridge is not my least favourite character, because, even though she's like a merging of some really nasty people from my real life, it's just so satisfying when she gets her just deserts. Bit of a rant - My least favourite character is Zolena (aka Zelandoni Who Is First) from The Land of Painted Caves. She's a blatant author-insertion character. Turns out that the main male character once had an unhealthy sexual relationship with her (eyeroll). Zolena talks about how overweight she is, and how it's strange because she doesn't eat any more food than any of the other characters - that just felt like the author talking about herself. But the thing I found horrible about Zolena was related to another young lady in the story. I can't remember the full details, or her name, let's call her Candy. I remember that Candy's husband recently fell down a cliff and died. She is from another tribe, she is in mourning, and she has lost all of her stability. Zolena is the tribe's spiritual guide. She should be offering comfort and guidance. Instead, Zolena gossips about Candy to Ayla, and is directly quite awful to Candy. Apparently Candy has been flirting with some other young men in the tribe. Well, of course she has, she's lost her husband and is alone in a strange tribe. Zolena makes it clear that Candy should just grow up, and go on a dangerous journey back to her mother's tribe, and that's that. There weren't any scenes where we see Candy acting badly, actually demonstrating anything like inappropriate behaviour, or anything. It just comes out of the blue - Zolena spouting nasty bile about a character who apparently needs emotional support and isn't receiving it. As Zolena is such a blatant author-insertion character, it actually made me dislike the author somewhat too, and wonder whether she was talking bad about someone she knows in real life with this bizarre treatment of her grieving widow character.

Unpopular Brandon Sanderson Opinions
Snorkel replied to not an Evil Librarian's topic in General Brandon Discussion
He got his boots back Chapter 44 "Ah, and it’s our captain of the guard. Your boots are on the way to your barracks via courier." Chapter 80 "He splashed through puddles of water, and found himself smiling because he wore the boots Shallan had stolen from him." (I love being able to search in ebooks) -

1 - I don't remember! I was chugging through all of Brandon's works (except WoT), so I guess I wanted to see what the community was like. But I'm sure glad I did join, because I wouldn't have found out about Aether of Night or White Sand (Prose) if I hadn't! 2 - I got to read Aether of Night, White Sand (Prose), and learn how clueless I am about greater cosmere theory! 3 - Offering spiked cookies to newbies was all the rage when I joined. :-O Not sure how "fun" that was, but, it's a memory.

Signed and Numbered RoW On Sale Tomorrow at 10am Mountain, Store Updates, and More!
Snorkel commented on Chaos's article in Brandon and Book News
Regarding the party swag pack t-shirt, Michael Bateman (who works at Dragonsteel) was talking about this in the unofficial Kickstarter discord channel, and he said the following things: "Note that the shirt design is simply a placeholder. We have not finalized color or design" "We will update the images as soon as we can get the new ones, but the artist who is working on the project had their computer go out for the past week" "The pin is the final design, that is an actual picture of the pin in hand" "Online release party announcements come from Tor. Should be coming soon!"- 33 comments

These are a limited number of copies from the First Printing. Edit: sold out. But I think they've said they're expecting a new print run at the end of this year (maybe start of next year).
