Brandon Sanderson / Happy Koloss Head-Munching Day!
« on: December 18, 2009, 11:51:34 PM »
Yay for new stuff! (see Brandon's blog) Also, is there a story behind Koloss Head-munching day? Is this Brandon's birthday activity of choice?

I think most people dislike Cadsuane because she's annoying. She's supposed to be some kind of super-Aes Sedai but she hasn't done anything yet. Except be super annoying.

I understand her perspective, but that doesn't make her less annoying. But I honestly think it's a mark of great writing that I can be really truly irritated by a fictional character.
^Agree.

Well, if Brandon doesn't say it right, then I don't have to either.

There are now links to two different Liar of Partinel downloads on the first post for all of you to enjoy.



Yay! New stuff!

So which is really correct? The way the characters say it or the way Brandon says it?

Yay! I just read the announcement and was hoping someone would get pictures. Why did I move away from Utah?!

I'm convinced that Pres. Monson is a fan of Warbreaker. This may be sacrilegious, but I couldn't help laughing last night when he said "He...gave breath to the lifeless". Maybe I haven't been sleeping enough lately...

I thought it was a good book.  No need to worry.

This makes me happy.

Me too.



This makes me jealous. Darn NDAs.

For example, right now i am developing a story that revolves around the "magic" of a god "blessing" his people with the knowledge of how they are going to die. 
I like this idea. A few thoughts for you:

Quote
and if this is a religious gift how does it tie into religion? 
When do they find out how they die? At birth or maybe some type of coming-of-age ceremony?

Quote
also, within the society, how would this knowledge of how u r going to die affect how people interact?
How would people know how everyone is going to die? Is there a public registry or does only the government know?  Could people lie about it?

I vote yes for question of the week!
