Title: Happy Koloss Head-Munching Day!
Post by: melbatoast on December 18, 2009, 11:51:34 PM: Yay for new stuff! (see Brandon's blog) Also, is there a story behind Koloss Head-munching day? Is this Brandon's birthday activity of choice?

Christmas has been so good to me. :D (especially since my family isn't doing christmas this year, thanks BS!)

Post by: Batchman on December 22, 2009, 04:07:40 AM: Just read both stories, and enjoyed both imensely.

Problem is, now I want to see the novel which follows up on the short story! (Either one!)

Guess I have to just face it, I'm probably going to love just about anything that Brandon ever writes.
