I was curious to know...

So, when I'm famous and have my book published and pretty much rock, will my name be added to the list of authors, right there under Sanderson and Wells and Tayler?  When was the last time someone got added to the list and how did they go about doing it?

I think the last one to be added was Howard, probably because he asked Dan really nicely

I'm pretty most of those are friends of the TWG admins, so when they got published, they got a sweet spot on the forum. I'd guess if any of us got published, there would be a lot of asking Dan really nicely for a spot. Possibly groveling.

I am not above groveling.

I would guess you'd also have to live around the Provo/Orem area since it says "local authors", as well as begging.

[Recovering_Cynic]

What if I used to live there.  I went to school in Provo, but I moved a year and a half ago.

I think Aprilynne Pike was actually the last one added earlier this year, and I am pretty sure she has some contention to Brandon at least.

Aprilynne moved to Arizona, so if you used to be in Provo/Orem, you might still be good. Grovelling and bacon will probably both be requirements. Perhaps grovelling WITH bacon.
