Tad Williams' Message Board

Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies -- 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.'
-    Kurt Vonnegut, 1922-2007

Welcome to the message board for tadwilliams.com. All comments are welcome, whether kudos or brickbats. However, please bear in mind that Tad would like this to be a friendly, civil message board, at least in the relations between users. We reserve the right to remove postings, or even ban postings, from anyone who crosses the boundary of reasonable taste. Basically, you can argue vigorously with someone, but watch your language, okay? We have a lot of young readers as well as grown-ups, so please show them some respect.

But the main requirement here is: have fun.

Re: DOGBLOG: Beyond Poodledome.

~poke~ Quit that. It's fine. :)

We were just going through rough spots at the same time, is all. I'd have offered then, but the most I could have done is posted you a shiney nickel, or something, as a good luck charm. *G*

Re: DOGBLOG: Beyond Poodledome.

....this is true...

Still, I figure it's not polite to say my sister and I would swap [censored] and [censored], given half a chance.

Or at least augment each others' natural deficiencies with what we were over-gifted with.

rofl! Lost, eh? Mmm hm. ;)

I think there's an old wardrobe with a few around here somewhere. I don't think it's been opened for awhile, though.

Does the door swing both ways. In other words, "who/what will fall in"?

Here there be gleebles?

Would seem there is a leak in the world walls ....

Hey, Zach B! Your world has caused a rift in the space/time continuum and is leaking through the wardrobe into the spare room in Poodledome.

Could you repair it?

Re: DOGBLOG: Beyond Poodledome.

Hey, did you know the Mint is going to make an important reappearance in SHADOWPLAY.  And we're going to find out why it's named what it's named in the last book.

I'm better, but still crap.  Nevertheless, today I must take my spawn out to the local mall to shop for Deborah.

Maximilian and all, you will be pleased to know that in the middle of a party last night, the guests looked up and said "We're being streaked!"  And, yes, Devon (and her friend Max) were indeed running naked through the crowd wearing nothing but fairy crowns and waving wands.

The girl has skillz, I tell you.
