@BrandonSandrson Anyone tell you they named their kid after a wot char? I named my daughter Avienda &wonder if there are others #portalstone
BrandonSandrson Mon Nov 08
@alSeen14 I have met Aviendhas (one on this tour) Perrins (two on this tour) and Rands. I think Aviendha is a beautiful name. #portalstone
WinesprngBrothr Mon Nov 08
@BrandonSandrson will save a lot of theorising if RAFO'ed :D (not that I mind theorising, of course!) Is Taim a darkfriend? #portalstone
@WinesprngBrothr Wow. I could really blow things up with that one, eh? I'll be safe and RAFO. #portalstone
[image error]MyHousePlans Mon Nov 08
@BrandonSandrson #portalstone Thx 4 being so awesome! I'd never read any of the WoT series, but I'm loving them now - all cuz of Mistborn.
@MyHousePlans I try to be awesome at all times, when possible. :) #portalstone
BrandonSandrson Mon Nov 08
Okay, I have to call an end here for my involvement in the tweetup. I will answer the questions sent before this point. #portalstone
Apy12 Mon Nov 08
@brandonsandrson Going back to blademasters where would Rand come on the list with Lan Galad Gawyn (before he lost his hand) #portalstone
@Apy12 I'm going to have to look back at the notes, but I *Think* he was right around Gawyn level. #portalstone
Theoryland Mon Nov 08
@BrandonSandrson - Was Asmodean killed with balefire? And when will additional details regarding his death be released? #portalstone
@Theoryland I will see if I can give additional details. I'll ask Maria and Harriet for their read. #portalstone
sonjamree Mon Nov 08
@BrandonSandrson #portalstone Shout out to your wife who I'm sure misses you very much. We realize your family makes sacrifices. She rocks!
@sonjamree I will tell her you mentioned her. Thank you. She has been very forgiving with all of this. #portalstone
thedustywheel Mon Nov 08
@BrandonSandrson - How often does Demandred contemplate killing Moridin? #portalstone
@thedustywheel Less than the other Chosen. He is focused on Rand. He contemplates Moridin, but mostly he wants Rand. #portalstone
finberg42 Mon Nov 08
@PeterAhlstrom @Brandonsandrson when can we expect to see NYT bestseller info for #ToM #portalstone
@finberg42 Wednesday. Grisham is going to give us a run for our money. #portalstone
tritlo Mon Nov 08
@BrandonSandrson Also, who is your favorite character, and why? #portalstone
@tritlo Perrin, because I feel most like him most of the time. #portalstone
alSeen14 Mon Nov 08
@BrandonSandrson Are the prophecies competing ala Belgariad, or are the complementary? #portalstone
@alSeen14 Not competing like Belgariad, and certainly not intelligent like in Belgariad. #portalstone
@alSeen14 Some may be interpreted wrong, others may be recorded wrong, but there is not a this/that nature to them. #portalstone
tritlo Mon Nov 08
@BrandonSandrson Another question from Iceland here. Will we see more from Shara or the Land of the Madmen? #portalstone
@tritlo RJ said there would be no major action in Shara. He was uncertain on Madmen. #portalstone
OAFaye Mon Nov 08
@BrandonSandrson What's a MAFO? #portalstone
@OAFaye It means "Maria and find out." :) It means I need to go to the notes. #portalstone
pmisir Mon Nov 08
@BrandonSandrson Awesome! :) Re: AMoL, I hope there'll be tons more Tuon/Seanchan? #portalstone
@pmisir There will be more than there was in TofM. #portalstone
gardenrosephoto Mon Nov 08
@BrandonSandrson One thing our family is looking forward to is the compendium when the story ends. Will you be helping? #portalstone
@gardenrosephoto It is mostly Harriet/Maria. But I have some requests I plan to put in. :) #portalstone
BRCayen Mon Nov 08
@BrandonSandrson I can't figure it out. . . . what was the "little thing" that was missed at the start of the series? #portalstone
@BRCayen End of chapter 55. #portalstone
Apy12 Mon Nov 08
@brandonsandrson Who on earth is Nakioma (should check name . . . ) #portalstone
@Apy12 RAFO. :) I'm leaving that one open to interpretation. #portalstone
stanism Mon Nov 08
@BrandonSandrson Any advice for writers trying to create their own fantasy epic series? #portalstone
@stanism Yes. Start by making the first book stand on its own, and keep the viewpoints down for the first one. #portalstone
alSeen14 Mon Nov 08
@BrandonSandrson I'm assuming we can do spoilers now. What did we miss that would have told us who killed Asmo? #portalstone
@alSeen14 I don't think people missed it. RJ said it was obvious, and many guessed it correctly. So I'd say they got it. #portalstone
@alSeen14 If you ask on a fan site, they can get you the 'Sherlock Holmes' style investigation of the subject. It is right. #portalstone
Gigalew Mon Nov 08
@BrandonSandrson Where those fellas in red veils human or shadowspawn? #portalstone
@Gigalew RAFO. :) #portalstone
elektrotal Mon Nov 08
@BrandonSandrson do you think you'll actually be able to wrap up the story in aMoL? seems like a lot of endgame threads still #portalstone
@elektrotal I have no plans to split the book again. I am 2/3 through the outline. Anything can happen, but it looks like one. #portalstone
taloncarde Mon Nov 08
@brandonSandrson Trying to not be spoiler, but the addition of a mystery to the glossary intended? is that all we get there? #portalstone
@taloncarde Not sure which one you mean. #portalstone
Blindillusion13 Mon Nov 08
@BrandonSandrson Will AMoL be centered on Mat? Rand had tGS and Perrin had ToM. sigh #portalstone
@Blindillusion13 It will be pretty equal. #portalstone
BrandonSandrson Mon Nov 08
That was fun, all! I'm off to get ready for my NYC signing tonight. Thank you for the fun time with #portalstone.
BrandonSandrson Mon Nov 08
Note that an archive will go up on my website eventually. There are minor spoilers for TofM, I believe. See you New Yorkers tonight!
BrandonSandrson Tue Nov 09
Tonight's signing is not at the same store as last time. But it seems to be a ticketed event. You have to buy the book here.
BrandonSandrson Tue Nov 09
I am not pleased to find that they are turning people away, but there is very little space.
BrandonSandrson Tue Nov 09
I'm going to France, the Utopiales convention in Nantes and signing at WHSmith in Paris. Here's my schedule. http://3.ly/RD5z
BrandonSandrson Tue Nov 09

BrandonSandrson Tue Nov 09

BrandonSandrson Tue Nov 09
And now . . . off to France. Flight out in two and a half hours.
BrandonSandrson Tue Nov 09
By the way, Tor really wants my Mistborn short novel. And so, it is official. New Mistborn novel in stores next year.
BrandonSandrson Tue Nov 09
I feel bad, not having Stormlight 2 for you. But there was no way I could do that and AMOL. It is this or nothing. (And this is awesome.)
BrandonSandrson Wed Nov 10
Am safely at my hotel in France. Scott Westerfeld is here, unexpectedly. I haven't seen him in . . . oh . . . two weeks. In Utah. (Odd coincidence)
BrandonSandrson Thu Nov 11
Well, folks, we did it. Towers of Midnight takes the #1 spot on the New York Times bestseller list. Thank you all for your support. :)
BrandonSandrson Thu Nov 11
Guys, just so you know, Peter Watts is here at the convention and he is AWESOME.
BrandonSandrson Thu Nov 11
I'll be doing my main Utopiales Q&A in 15 min, and I'm set up for 8 (!) signings over 4 days. If you live in France, please consider coming.
