Perhaps there could be a way to set up the Zazzle and send the royalties to Brandon through the Paypal donation thing on his website. The way that Zazzle stuff works is that Zazzle gets the majority of the money, and then the creator gets a 10% royalty (it's possible to increase that royalty amount, but that increases the cost to the shirt). I don't really even care about money and would be happy to give the full amount of the royalties to Brandon--just one more way to support him, which I am all for!

If not that (because that seems rather complicated to get the royalties to Brandon), Brandon or Jordan should really think about making a Zazzle thing themselves, because it doesn't seem too difficult to do.

I know I'd want some of those shirts :D

Lol, i think we would have alot of fun with that...

But the top priority would be to get the royalties to Brandon, or however we do it. I don't want cheat him!

I compeleatly agree that if we don't do it, EUOL and Sprig should, because I really want at least the book one, if not tons of others.  But I really don't think it would be hard to make sure that a portion goes to them, since like Chaos said you can increase the royalty amount.

Did anyone see the sign in the background of Vegas' photo? Sanderson and Farland, wow now im upset. I mean its not enouph that these signings are far far away from me but there are two authors that I enjoy at the same one. Im going to scream. Well maybe not but Vegas is a lucky guy to have been at that signing.

I don't think we'll make one, mostly because we can get better deals elsewhere so we can sell shirts for cheaper and make more off them (buy in bulk and no print on demand, it's what the webcomic guys do).  Also Brandon hasn't shown much interest in doing t-shirts lately--that's not to say he wont but he wants to get something that looks good and is cool and not just throw something up to make a quick buck.  We've got the cafeepress one on the site but that one was an experiment he made just to test thing out (I don't even think he wants it on the site anymore).

You're welcome to e-mail him about the site, because it is intresting, but I don't think he'll get back to you on this anytime soon because of the book tour.

However, I know he won't care if you make shirts as long as you're not making money off of them.

That's good advice.

EDIT: Maybe we could submit designs to EUOL's website, have a dialog with him about which one(s) would be best to make, and then get them straight from the website. Not that anything would happen before the book tour was over... I'll email it in. :)

Oldie, let me tell you, I had NO freaking idea it would be that long. I got there later than expected. I had my three kids with me. As much as I like to support Brandon, there is no way I am ever waiting in line like that again.

The signing was a lot of fun. Audience members asked a lot of good questions about writing—it was like over four podcasts of material (though a lot of it was stuff I'd heard before). I asked a couple leading questions: "You've given out some good advice and you mentioned a podcast; what's that about, and Dave, do you have anything similar?" (Dave does; his Daily Kick in the Pants. I'm having trouble finding a link to it though) and "What books do you both currently have scheduled to come out, and what are you working on next?"

Our new home teacher was there at the signing, and I hadn't known he was a big fantasy fan.

Wow Ook, you almost look like your icon.  That's kind of funny.

No way. He'd have to have a full beard, give him fangs, blacken the whites in his eyes, major plastic surgery to change his nose, grow his hair out long, and then flip the color scheme of the photo to negative...


Yeah, I'm not seeing it at all.
