Rants and Stuff / Re: These Stupid Titles X: Still Stupid, Still Titles
« on: June 23, 2011, 03:27:43 PM »
Seems like people aren't moving up fast because the forums are kind of quiet. Has it always been this way?
News:
"Magic is what makes fantasy fantastic," someone says, "you can't apply rules to them or else it loses wonder!" I respond, "Sure, but if you want to write them you will certainly want to know how they work." Writing is all about execution, and I find applying some basic laws of physics to magic systems make them more understandable and realistic. Here, I'm going to outline my basic method for developing a magic system.

Okay, so we know that the next three books are Alloy of Law, Rithmatist, and Memory of Light. Any information on when other books will be coming out?
For reference, I've got a list of possible future publications put together here:

Brandon Sanderson / Re: I Hate Dragons
« on: May 09, 2011, 07:41:13 PM »Is this... an old story getting reposted, or?
Here's the answer, from Brandon's website:
Quote
Thank you all for helping me out with the Delta situation (and for helping my brother win his goofy contest). I wanted to do something nice, so I dredged up the chapters I wrote of "I Hate Dragons" as a writing exercise a few months back.
I had originally written these as part of a dialogue exercise, writing no narrative. After I finished them, as a second part of the exercise, I went back and added narrative to fill them out. (Though they're still heavily dialogue.)

Thanks. Although it looks like the spam I wanted to report has already been eliminated. Thanks, moderators!

I talked to a guy last night who said Brandon Sanderson was at one point writing a screenplay called Debris, but it never got finished. Anyone know anything about this?

Man, I didn't even think about graphic novels. I mean, I own three or four of the Schlock books, but I I got those long after I read the comics.

Some TV shows I like to watch when they air, and some I like to watch all at once when they're out on DVD.
Some webcomics I like to read as soon as they come out, like http://www.harkavagrant.com/. And some I like to wait a while and let them build up a bit, like http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php.
How you like to read Schlock Mercenary?
