  1. So you want it to look more like this? If so, you should just need to go into your sig and clear out all the unnecessary justification codes. I looked at it and it's a mess of [.left] and [.center] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Espoused Theories: The principle of intent.

  2. I didn't forget about you, Terez, nor did I fail to ask your questions.
  3. As far as I know, Brandon usually likes to do a Q&A, but he doesn't always have time to do one. Best thing to do is just ask your question when he signs your books.
  4. He was thinking about it, but has since decided that he doesn't want to be sending out Dragonsteel, just because it's a little too spoilery.
  5. firstRainbowRose and I will both be at the BYU midnight release.
  6. Hey everyone, Today our friends over at Dragonmount posted the tour dates for Brandon's A Memory of Light tour next year! All of the dates are listed here. They're doing another Storm Leader/Tower Guard type program this year, this time called Memory Keeper. The Memory Keeper application is here if you want to apply to help out at one of the signings. firstRainbowRose and I will be at the Midnight release party in Provo, and may go to the signing at Weller's Books as well, so if you're going to one of those signings, come say hi! Marvelous goodies were shared with those who came and said hi at the Alloy release/line, and something similar may happen this time. You'll just have to drop by to see!
  7. Hey everyone, Everybody's been waiting patiently (or not so patiently) for the tour dates to be announced for the A Memory of Light tour. Today, Dragonmount posted the tour dates for Brandon's A Memory of Light tour! All of the dates are listed over on Dragonmount. They're doing another Storm Leader/Tower Guard type program this year, this time called Memory Keeper. The Memory Keeper application is a Google doc that's linked to on this page if you want to apply to help out at one of the signings. firstRainbowRose and I will be at the Midnight release party in Provo, and may go to the signing at Weller's Books as well, so if you're going to one of those signings, come say hi!

  8. Hey guys, let's keep the discussions of Emperor's Soul to the Emperor's Soul Spoiler Board.
  9. I just checked the first edition hardbacks of both, and in both cases, it's a reader error.
  10. I'm going to ask that if you aren't going to transcribe it, please hold off on listening to it. I don't want the site to go down, so please wait until we get the transcription up. Thanks guys!
  11. Sorry guys. I accidentally added a mode where to join the chat, you had to be identified (logged in), but I think I've fixed that. Let me know if it's still having problems.
  12. Hey guys, we're talking it out, and we're definitely considering it (I totally support it, though not for six months, perhaps three or four, long enough for people to pick up the book). We'll let you know what we decide.
  13. Hey Yamato, Believe it or not, there are some angry liberal Mormons, and I'm one of them. I don't think that the LDS church had any business getting involved in politics as they did at all. Yes, I think that sex outside of marriage is wrong, but if I'm not the one doing it, I honestly don't think that it's any of my business at all. I understand that you disagree with it being considered morally wrong, but to say that it's any one institution is to ignore all those with no faith who still think that sharing themselves in that way should be saved until they're married. As for the main point, I definitely think that gays should be allowed to marry. I have no issues with that because once again, it doesn't affect me at all, and gays being able to marry isn't going to destroy my marriage, so it's none of my business. I guess my point is just: please don't generalize groups of people, because not everyone in a given group of people will feel the same way. Just as not all atheists hate everyone who is religious, not all people who are religious think that gays should have no rights.
  14. Sorry, Tamzin, but we're working on restructuring our staff right now, in hopes that we won't need to promote anyone new. I'm glad to see that you're interested in the position, and previous experience is always a plus. If we do end up deciding to promote new staff members, we will consider many aspects of everyone we're looking at, but we never look at gender when we do our promoting. Thanks for your interest, though!
  15. The admins will definitely have a meeting in the near future titled "making sure that people aren't afraid of us, Reactions to PETA's Pokemon spoof, and other such Admin-y business". In all seriousness, though, anyone who gets the feeling that we're not welcoming to newcomers is a terrible failing on my part, and I'll be going out of my way to find new ways to help everyone feel welcome (I'm totally open to ideas here). As a side note, Brandon typically refers to people who are from 17thShard as "Sharders", so I'd suggest steering clear of that one, just to help reduce confusion. Other than that, all of the names sound good.
  16. Why can't you make an account on stormblessed, Stroniax?
  17. It's not a standalone. According to his agent's website, The Scribbler Saga has three books under contract. Past that, I'm not sure, but at least three.
  18. Brendan, I'm actually going to talk to Brandon today to see if we can't open it up a little earlier. I'll let you know what the updated times are.
  19. Hey everyone, we have some exciting news! Brandon Sanderson will be doing a Q&A this week, right here. It is an amazing honor and privilege to have him here, and we're all really excited about this. Here's how things will go down. You'll come to this topic to post your question, which will be open for questions on Tuesday from 12:00am MDT to 11:59pm MDT (so all of Tuesday), and then Brandon will come in and answer them sometime on Wednesday. Some requests: Keep the length of your question reasonable, and don't ask a ridiculous number, either No Wheel of Time questions Please read through the questions that have already been asked to see if your question has been asked before you post And the topic is open! We hope to get some awesome questions for Brandon to answer! The topic is right here, just in case: Link Of Doom!!!! The topic is now closed, but Brandon has gotten through many of the questions. Take a look at the awesome answers!

    Legion

    I'm pretty sure that Legion will be coming out for Kindle around Monday. As for Emperor's Soul, I'm not sure.
  22. Hey everyone! As we've all been anxiously awaiting our copies of Legion to arrive, our user Yados, who ordered through Amazon, got his copy today, which is the copy pictured, with a quarter on the cover for size comparison. Both KChan and I, who ordered through Subterranean both got our shipping confirmations today. This is Brandon's first book to be published through Subterranean, and can be bought from Amazon, or directly from Subterranean. Sadly, Subterranean is all sold out of the leatherbound limited edition, but they do still have the trade edition. Additionally, anyone going to DragonCon this weekend will want to attend Brandon's signing on Saturday at noon, as that will be the first time he signs Legion. He won't be numbering copies there, as the 1000 leatherbounds that Subterranean sold were all numbered.

    Hey Yados, is it cool if I use your picture for an article here on the site?
