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.

Like, totally. Fer shure.

What's your favorite toppings? I'm partial to the vegetable-y ones, but will eat almost anything on a pie.


Someday will find you.

When I was pregnant a chef friend of mine made me a pie. It was peanut butter banana coconut chocolate cream with meringue.

Re: DOGBLOG: Watershed. (Not Miiru's shed.)

I would say a pie in the sky pie! Did you eat it, Jen?

When I was pregnant with my first, the only thing I craved was peppercinis and Pepsi. I had no cravings with the second.


Someday will find you.
