If the construction workers built the house then yes they would be.

This is a really stupid argument. Find something else to talk about.

Agreed it was only supped to a comment not a spark for debate.

 

So speaking of the actual editors has Brandon sent it in to them yet?

[JenniferL]

Harriet, Maria and Alan have been doing chapter by chapter edits as Brandon writes. My guess is that after the beta readers give feedback, Brandon will incorporate those changes, then send it to Team Jordan again.

Translation:  Jennifer can barely contain herself waiting for her electronic copy to arrive so she can Beta Read this one too.

 

But, then comes the really hard part - she will know piles of things we don't and she won't be able to say a word.  I'm not really sure being able to read it early is worth that cost.

I agree Bob, it just wouldn't be fun not being able to discuss the book because no one else had read it yet. I can't wait to read AND discuss ToM.

Nah, you guys are cool, but I'll have no problem swearing off the forums for 3 months if it means I'll get my copy tomorrow. Really, Brandon, you can trust me! Pretty please?

[Millon]

I would absolutely burst. If had all that in my head? Yeah. Not good. Me? I am a spoiler junkie. You can tell me allll the juicy little bits and it just makes me want it more and more hahahaha.

From Brandon Sanderson's Twitter account 5 hours ago today "Okay, up bright an early (well, for me) and starting work on the TofM final draft. Need to do 10% of it today at the minimum."

 

Surprised this isn't here already.

[Decius]

Brandon Sanderson' date=' Twitter[/url']"]Okay, 12% done today. Will go to bed now. Trying to sleep a little earlier/rise a little earlier this week.

 

Seems to be around 1% p/h of work, it doesn't seem like it's going to take long, we might see a chapter or two pretty soon. :)

[JenniferL]

Brandon is going to read us something from TofM at Dragon*Con in a few weeks. As far as I know, that will be our first preview material.

[Millon]

I am soo disliking every and all of you who are close enough to go to DragonCon. May all your hair become splotchy and miscolored.

He read the opening paragraph at Jordan con remember. Sure, it was only different in a few words, but it was still preview material.

[JenniferL]

I don't really count that since it didn't give us much to really speculate on. Also, he said it might change significantly before publication. We're going to be having him read something lengthy and complete.

[Lambada]

lengthy... complete......

ZOMG You're going to get him to read the ENTIRE BOOK!??!?!?!?!?!

 

 

On a more serious note: He's 12% through final final completion. (As I understand it).

Presumably we'll be able to get a transcript or record of that after the convention?

[Owayn The Traveller]

I am green, and I mean green infact emerald green, with envy. And on another but almost equally important note. What the heck does 'ZOMG' mean? Something oh my god?

[Lambada]

ZOMG is basically just an extreme version of OMG. AFAIK the Z doesn't actually stand for any particular thing.

[Owayn The Traveller]

Thank you but why did you use 'AFAIK'? Why?

Depends entirely on what Team Jordan wants. If they want it to be exclusive for those who were there, we will obviously not allow any posts that goes against that.

Yes please. A youTube upload would be best. I'll be really pissed if this ends up like RJ's recorded reading of TGS prologue.

 

Owayn, google can really help with these things. For example:

zOMG is a varient of the all-too-popular acronym "OMG", meaning "Oh My God". The "z" was originally a mistake while attempting to hit the shift key with the left hand, and type "OMG" Also used in all-caps, 'ZOMG' is generally used in a sarcastic manner, more often than not a humiliating fasion. It is also used as a device for stating the obvious.

"zOMG! you r teh winz!!one!!eleven!"

zOMG, I have no idea what any of the words in the last sentence mean. Bloody Americans.

[Owayn The Traveller]

Ah ha! As far as I know! It's all coming together now. I don't need google just a couple of hours to think about it.

No, Team Jordan will not allow us to make it available online like that. They didn't let us do that either when Jordan was reading at Dragon*Con five years ago before KoD was released.

 

You guys just need to get off your butts and start coming to my conventions. You know I'll always have something awesome going on. Why be left out every year? =)

[yoniy0]

Because, Jenn, not everyone has 1K bucks for a plane ticket just lying around :).

You know, I spent several months in Canada last year. They actually have a website dedicated to the hate of all things US. It's exactly things like that, how you guys keep all the cool gadgets/books/movies/readings or whatever for yourselves, that make people feel that way. Canadians don't even realize how good they have it. You should all spend a couple of years on the other side of the ocean, you'll get it then.

:'( :'( :'(

PLEASE say that was Sarcasm! I wasn't around before KoD so I have no idea whether that was what happened or not! GAH! I hate being a money saving student sometimes!
