Myabi and Inkthinker?  When did you meet brandon?   I feel very left out, but then I haven't been on for ages...
So is there going to be a thread to theorize about the first book, because from the bits and pieces I have put together I have a few...

Miyabi has been going to Brandon's major signings for over 3 years. And Inkthinker worked on some of the art in the book.
All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!

It is kinda cruel to talk about the alpha-read in front of the other fans. Plus, it's hard to talk about it at all without spoilers, and I really don't want to spoil anything in this, aside from saying that I think it's really, really good.

Yeah, I wanted to say something about that, but couldn't find a polite way of saying "Please, please, PLEASE SHUT THE **** UP!" Both about the tiny spoilers and the fact that some of you have gotten to read it already. It's like your deliberately rubbing our noses in your exclusive club memberships... It's been beginning to grate on me a bit...

Edit: Okay, that came off harsher than I intended. Sorry about that... been a stressful day...

I actually like the suspense. If I had already read it, all this discussion of what could be and what couldn't be wouldn't be as much fun I think. I think alpha readers get the short end of the stick, they may get to read it earlier but it won't be at the level of enjoyment that it could be if they got it when they released in August. They have to analyze it and give opinion on previous copies. Can't purely sit there and get engulfed into the scene. That's my opinion of alpha-readers. It may be completely wrong as to what is expected of them. :)

No apology needed. It is, as the Brits say, "a fair cop".

The nice thing about the alpha is that it's not the final draft, and so even for those of us fortunate enough to get a peek there's new material to look forward to. Even the latest draft I've read will change from the version I'll hold in my hands six months from now.

But in the meantime, I would not want to spoil the new book for new readers, nor would I care to risk my nascent association with Brandon by flapping my loose lips. So while I'm dying to talk about it, this is a public forum and it's a private subject. I think it's important that we wait until everyone can join the party.

And then we'll rock this joint until the roof falls in.  ;D

I think Miyabi is just a superfan. FRR and some of the other newer posters take Brandon's BYU classes.

I don't think there are that many TWGers in class.  In fact, the only other one I can think of Erik, but I haven't seen him in class for a while.  And of course there is Mr. J.  Is that who you're thinking of?

"The custom of royalty in referring to oneself is to naturally employ the royal 'we'.  We are very happy, we are very sad, we are bored and suffer from ennui.  For a royal prince there's no such word as 'me', It's always 'we'.  So rightfully I should be two or three, don't you agree?"

That sounds quite probable.
