Author Q&A / !TGO SPOILERS POLICY!
« on: July 12, 2016, 04:29:11 pm »
There are copies of this book being officially purchased now.
This topic is for the discussion of our spoiler policy. All that follows is up for debate (assuming it's not just Wilshire and I hashing it out, in which case, I yield to Madshire).
Because of the haphazard fashion in which these books are finding their way into the hands of fans, I'll ask that all TGO discussion happen exclusively in The Great Ordeal subforum. The one exception to this will be the Author Q&A, as I'm sure fans will have questions for Bakker and Bakker will want to interact with the fans following a general release.
I'll ask that any thread made discussing TGO, here in Author Q&A or in The Great Ordeal subforum, include "[TGO SPOILERS]" at the start of your thread subject and that thread subjects don't include obvious spoilers themselves (to the best of your abilities).
Following the UK general release in a couple months time, General Earwa will also host TGO discussion threads, we can drop the "[TGO SPOILERS]" tag, and hopefully bring back Quorum.
Cheers all. Input on these thoughts is encourage as we'd like to be inclusive as possible to old and new fans alike.

The Great Ordeal / TGO ARC Subforum
« on: July 11, 2016, 09:50:14 pm »
As per usual, I prefer to sound the Quorum of fans before I embody the group's decision:
Tomorrow I will make all the TGO ARC subforum and TGO ARC Author Q&A public. It's already been decided that I will move the TGO ARC Author Q&A threads to the Author Q&A subforum with the added "[TGO SPOILERS]" tag and Cû'jara-Cinmoi can continue answering questions there as he's compulsed when his routine gets back on the roll.
Otherwise, the hive-meld of regulars see a couple options for the TGO ARC subforum:
- I can delete that private subforum and I can move all the threads to the TGO subforum proper with the "[TGO SPOILERS]" tag and leave them open to continuation.
- though, we all concurred that we'd rather let everyone start fresh in which case I can keep them locked (but that means a page and a half of locked threads in the TGO subforum).
OR
- I can make the subforum public lock it and people can being anew with new threads and continuations of the ARC subforum threads suitably marked with "[TGO SPOILERS]" tags.
Sounding the Plate.
Cheers.

George RR Martin and Stephen King.
I thought the video was great - I also really enjoy that King thinks writers are crazy people

Author Q&A / [TGO SPOILERS] ARC Reader Interaction
« on: June 22, 2016, 02:06:53 am »
What do you think of this crux? I can't think of a precedent circumstance where a unique portion of a book fandom has read a book pre-release and had an opportunity to interact with the text and author before general release.

Author Q&A / Conclusion of TSA
« on: June 21, 2016, 04:46:47 pm »
Over the years, you've made various comments on your blog that have led a good many fans to believe that The-Series-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named isn't required to conclude The Second Apocalypse narrative. Is that accurate?

Author Q&A / [TGO SPOILERS] Themes in TGO/TUC
« on: June 21, 2016, 04:44:36 pm »
It's fairly clear that you've patiently - mindbogglingly patiently - withheld a great deal of the narrative pieces in TSA up until this latter half of TAE series nears conclusion. What are some of the thematic arcs of the series entire that you think are appearing more explicitly or are more pronounced in these sixth and seventh volumes?

Author Q&A / Non-TSA Projects
« on: June 21, 2016, 03:29:35 pm »
Curious minds want to know!
I mean, you've mentioned to me a ridiculous number of ongoing projects over the years - a few even stretching so far back as '11.
What's near being submission ready? What's still a moon-shot in terms of a story you'd like to tell one day? Any news on Semantica or more Disciple?
