There's something spooky about Alcatraz...
« on: September 13, 2007, 05:53:50 AM »
Maybe it is the fact that "Brandon" slipped in "Wasing is of Wasing not" in the form of Quentin. Something that Spook certainly would say, and I believe that he did. Sneaky, Brandon, very sneaky. I was overjoyed to find it, though. I absolutely adored Alcatraz. I thought it was infectiously sarcastic and witty and there is no parallel. There better be another one.
I want to be a publisher at Tor Fantasy when I grow up.

As someone who has worked in a library and whose mother and sister are librarians, I can categorically say that there is nothing spooky about Alcatraz.  Nothing.  And it is completely a work of fiction.  Nothing real about it.  Nothing to see here, please move along.
If I had any clue, would I be here?

Okaaaaaaaay. I can't even tell if you're being sarcastic or if you just didn't read my post.

It's the title of the thread. It threw her off.

Spook and the wasing is of wasing not both are inspired by a former poster here. Well, he still comes around occasionally.
