I got my ARC last week, but couldn't start it until today. I've been moving and have had NO time. I started it waiting in line for my number this morning! I usually can read really fast, but this one is making me pay attention! Its taking a bit longer, but is great so far! I can't wait to see the artwork in my hardback copy tonight!

I'm sure you were a popular person in line. :)

Yea, I was probably trying too hard to be clever, and ended up just being confusing.

I just wanted to come up with a funny way to comment on the fact that the paypal ordering instructions had a box for *singing* instructions instead of signing instructions.

Brandon Sanderson / Elantris *singing* instructions
« on: February 19, 2008, 11:33:42 PM »
I just ordered a personalized copy of Elantris from Brandon's website.

When it came to the singing [sic] instructions, I was torn.  I've always been a Rush fan, but never having met Brandon personally, I'm not sure how well he'd be able to perform "A Farewell to Kings". 

I'd have asked him to sing "Happy Birthday", but my birthday is a long way off, and that song is probably tied up in more copyright restrictions than the Rush song.

Then I realized, Brandon has probably already composed a song that is even more appropriate for Elantris, so the instrctions they were looking for probably had more to do with tempo and phrasing.  So I requested "Andante".

At first I was confused, because I misread "singing instructions" as singeing instructions, and while I do like the permanence of burning a personalization into the book, I'm not sure how well it would hold up to something like that.  I'm sure glad I caught my misread in time.  I wouldn't want to look silly or anything.. :)

Soother seems like the coolest option, but that may just be because the most interesting misting we've seen in the series happened to be a soother.  :)

Brandon Sanderson / Re: Bookplates Question

What you've posted for bookplates sounds reasonable.  I'd probably go for the $6 personalized to get plates for my copies of MB1 and 2.

What would be really cool would be an option to get 3 book plates (one for each MB) included with an Elantris order during the sale.   Maybe throw in 3 without personalization for free and charge $3 extra if you want personalized bookplates.  That way you could add some extra value to the Elantris sale instead of cutting the price down like you did with MB1
