Brandon Sanderson / Re: Who has read The Way of Kings (minor spoilers)

I'm pretty sure that Sadeas has also listened to part or all of it.
News:
"Magic is what makes fantasy fantastic," someone says, "you can't apply rules to them or else it loses wonder!" I respond, "Sure, but if you want to write them you will certainly want to know how they work." Writing is all about execution, and I find applying some basic laws of physics to magic systems make them more understandable and realistic. Here, I'm going to outline my basic method for developing a magic system.

Brandon Sanderson / Re: Bridge 4 Crew T-Shirts
« on: September 17, 2010, 11:14:59 PM »5) silhouette of bridge 4 characters standing tall and proud with "bridge 4" on top
My favorite idea so far. If you do this one, have a good 6 characters shoulder to shoulder with Syl somewhere in the group and have BRIDGE 4 bellow it. Good 'ol fashioned character lineup. Love 'em.... black shirt, grey silhouette with white blood splattered text. Oh delicious.
1) (humorous) A silhouette of a guy pincushioned with arrows with slightly-wacky text that says: "Bridge 4 Crew"
Close runner up.
My artist side is irritating me to do some thumbs but it isn't my project.

« on: August 30, 2010, 05:48:23 PM »It's killing me, but I'm taking this one really slow, since I don't know when the next Brandon Sanderson book will be out. I'm trying to savor the characters and world development a little at a time. It's like eating an amazing sundae...it's so good you want to eat it all at once, but you know that if you do, it will be gone all too soon (and if you eat it too fast, you might get a brain freeze!)
Same here, got mine on Sunday (finally stupid goodreads) and have been slowly eating it up. Taking it to Vegas tomorrow and will continue the feast.

How about a cake shaped like a magic card.... rectangular. HYUK HYUK!... or you could print a magic card onto the top of it. (they have edible printing at most cake places)

It's all about location. I live in California so I am the farthest away from Tor without leaving the continental US. HURRY UP!

I discard them after the first reading, because I am usually very careless with my hardcovers while reading the first time because I am so eagar, but afterwards they are in the trash. Purely because of the way a hardcover looks on my shelf... it's... sexy.

Pumping stormlight INTO it seems like a viable solution. Since that is what it is losing once cracked. GIMME MY FRICKIN ARC! I waaaaanna knooooooow.

Will Brandon be quite irritated if I bring him all my tattered copies of his books for him to sign since I've read them all way too many times? I don't even have the dust jackets anymore!

The new chapters are really nice, love the new characters and I'm curious now, can you repair shardplate?

Are the early chapters for Scribbler online somewhere that we could wet our appetite with? Not that we haven't had tons of wetting from WoK previews.

Still waiting on my Goodreads copy. I've now emailed Tor about it. We shall see.

I have it pre-ordered @ Borders with a 33% off coupon waiting just around the corner (they put one out like every week, love borders). AND I have the Kindle version bookmarked for when I get the new Kindle 3 at the end of the month.
I prefer Borders to Barnes & Noble. B&N seems more.... evil. Or maybe it's because Borders doesn't charge a membership fee and I still get free coupons for anywhere from 20% - 50% off. ^___^ I love me some discounted books.
