I guess we could have One word title threads *heh* Still I wouldn't want to bury Brandon's other threads. When you've read more of WoT miyabi  you should check out Dragonmount just to see how much we theorize. :)

Oh I will.  I am just interrupting WoT at the moment so I can read Dragonsteel and get caught up in school.

It's a bound copy of his undergrad dissertation/thesis.  Miyabi got it on interlibrary loan from the BYU library.

It is very good, but also very rough.

As in it is nowhere near publication level.  It still has lots of random grammar issues, as well as small chunks that just . . . need complete revision to make sense without rereading it.  It just could use editing, but it wasn't meant to be published anyway.

Only undergrad honors. :) Nowhere near the same academic rigor as a graduate project.

OK. I just would've thought we would have edited it more if he was handing it in for school. *shrug*

Probably not, he hasn't been on since November and is very busy.  I assume that after he gets all of AMoL written and has some time to spend with his family, he might start coming back around.  He also might appear for a couple weeks after Warbreaker comes out.
