Yeah, I don't quite get it. If you were in Europe, would you try for the US edition of the book you already have? I just thought it was odd.

And some of you people are disturbed. Some of those answers...

Oddly enough, that's exactly what I'm going to try and do.  :D  Barring the fact that I don't live in Europe.

I am disappointed in you all. I am noting a lack of contest entries from people here. For shame.

Sorry, I haven't made it to this point in my schedule yet.  School's actually been keeping me pretty busy this week.  My answers are coming, to be sure.  Don't you worry.  Deadline this Friday?  No problems.  I even have a great idea for my Extra Credit.  Ooh!

Deadline is the 20th. We have to account for those people that work and stuff.

You know, I was actually thinking more about it as I read an email from a  dude in Spain. He mentioned that shipping from the UK is the same as from the US. So, a lot is making more sense now.

An update:

We will be having an interview with Margaret Weis on Wednesday 9/30. She's gonna be online to respond to comments and stuff made after we post it.

We will be having an interview with R.A. Salvatore on Thursday 10/15. I hope the same thing will be happening with him.

Look, a lot of us--Nick and I included--owe our introductions into fantasy to Weis/Hickman and Salvatore. Make the most of the experience to think up of a few questions you may want to ask (assuming we don't ask them the same ones in the interview). Plus Margaret and Bob are pretty cool people.  Maybe there will be an incentive to the people that ask the awesomest questions (don't be idiots with the questions either--they've earned respect--and limit yourself to 1). Hint. Hint.

The interview with Margaret Weis went up on the blog this morning. Go over and check it out. We're also giving away some copies of Weis and Hickman's newest novel in conjunction with the interview.

Hey, checked out the site the other week. I must say, you guys really make me laugh! Not to mention I've picked up a few books you've mentioned, and I guess I must now agree with you that you do indeed have fantastic taste  ;)

We are working with the publicist to see if she is going to send the books out to the winners on Wizards' dime, or if she is sending them to us first. It will be soon-ish.

You know, I don't think I've ever read anything by Salvatore.
