Happy Koloss Head-Munching Day!
« 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?

It is the yearly day on which Brandon transforms into a Koloss and starts munching heads.
All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!

Oh wow, awesome. I've been yerning for some new stuff (or old stuff that i've never read) just finished Liar which is a really cool story. Planning on stopping by Borders to grab Alcatraz and now a short story.

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

Perhaps this explains my REALLY strange dream and the mission objectives that I awoke with...

My favorite day of the year, hands down... for on what other day can you truly munch heads?

If anyone wants to read another BS sci0fi short story, there's also Firstborn

Man, all this Sci-fi all of a sudden is really getting me hyped for Mistborn 7-9.  And we don't even have 4-6 yet!

I'll second that - let's think of it as a practice run...years early.

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.

I see both of these as short subjects that wouldn't work as novels. And that's why they're short. :)
