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.

The Man, the Myth, the Dog

I just had to leap at this opportunity... er, generosity as his Dogliness so graciously offered.

So here we are.

I've come to shine a laser pointer in people's eyes or on any screen should they wish to project images onto it, I'll point, annoyingly.

Where else can you find an award-winning author who will leave his home and family for a looong half-a-day to hang out with slightly demented, thoroughly perverted, and mostly adoring fans?!?!

Re: The Man, the Myth, the Dog

For a given definition of 'alive'.  I'm crashing pretty hard right now, but it's only 4 in the afternoon, so I must soldier on.  Glad all you froods made it back to your nests safely.

Typing is getting hard/interesting.
