I really doubt the first person perspective would be well suited to the Mistborn franchise.  The awesomeness of watching Vin flip about with Iron and Steel would be significantly diminished by, well, not seeing it.

I almost feel bad for Ruin, after all Preservation is the one that betrayed him and wouldn't let him fulfill the deal they had made...

Well, Ruin DID say that destructive doesn't mean evil, perhaps the reverse is true.  Preserve at any cost kinda makes you think twice, doesn't it?

The French don't particularly like ending consonants for syllables, do they?  I'm a choir guy, and am currently working on a french song and my teacher really emphasizes that.  I'm also semi-familiar with IPA.
I prefer Sahz-ed, myself.  And Kel-sea-ay, sounds wimpy, just like its french origins.  *evil grin*
Cheers.

*looks up from the ritual sacrifice he had just finished slaughtering on the alter set up before his laptop* Computer run on what now?

Oooh, where can I get one of them ritual goats so I can convince the gods to give me a laptop and/or a cell phone?

That may be what computers run on, but we all know the internet runs on teh lulz.

I love KH, and I think that might be a good idea.  At least when it comes to controls, I think it should be one button is responsible for each metal, but, obviously, some would need to be passive, like copper and bronze, otherwise it would be seriously loaded down.

Well, I suppose publicity is a part of it, but I think that these guys honestly like helping new writers.  Dan because he mostly is a new writer, who's first book just barely hit the US.  Brandon teaches a writing class at Brigham Young University in Utah, where he interacts a lot with newbs and sees their frequent struggles with coming into their own as an author.  Howard...I can't think of any specific reason he'd probably want to do it other than it being lots of fun, but probably so he can bounce ideas around with the other two.

Compared to other podcasts, they actually have a ton of guests, at least a half dozen a season so far.

I dunno about the length, it seems that once they really get into the swing of a subject that have to cut to the next part, which bugs me.  But it is very convenient.

^Well, that just means that the other bead isn't at the well.

^^If that means we have to wait like twenty years, that's okay, I'll wait.  If previous experience is anything to go by, then we'll be getting the third trilogy of Star Wars movies around that time.  YAY!
Let's see, he's got the Way Of Kings coming, which is supposed to be like ten books, that's a good decade right there, the fourth and fifth Alcatraz books, that's probably a year together, the last two Wheel of Time books, so that's maybe three together, and probably some other projects I'm missing.  So that's 14 years just by what I can pick off the top of my head.  He may throw Mistborn in there once he comes up with a story he gets excited about, so lets hope for that!

Well, dang.
