Yay! Email it to me. I promise follow-through. Really. And if EUOL is reading this, of COURSE I'm reading Alcatraz! Um, I'll get to that tomorrow!

Why can't you guys send me audio versions of your books, dang it? Then I could assemble shelves or drive to work and listen to them at the same time.  :D

I'll be happy to read it, as I told you at role-playing. EUOL has mentioned this book enough times that I'm practically giddy with anticipation. (Well, not really giddy--I guess slightly more than lethargic would be more accurate  ;)).

Yay!  Fire me off a copy, Fell.  I'd like to see what has changed.

Trogdor demands ritual supplication, and only either burnination or novelation will suffice.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

I shall now be sending out copies. I'm especially interested in Entropy's opinion, since the entire book takes place in a country he is 3 billion times more familiar with than I am.

Hey, I've been to London for six weeks! That's practically the same as living there your whole life.

Reading it. Enjoying it. Making comments chapter by chapter.

Oh, and stacer, if you read this, I haven't forgotten about Black Bull. I often like to read things twice--I'm about to start the second read through and make comments on it.

That's what I told myself I'd do on Mistborn...yeah right...*sigh*

Fell, I hope the next editor who looks at it is more...*cough*...punctual...
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!

Stacer, don't waste your time with this -- I've read a little, and it's an uninspired waste of time.  I mean, really: how many more gothic-horror literati comedies does this world need?

I prefer the term "Inspirational Erotica".
