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.

Tad has a new short story in...

The Thackery T. Lambshead Cabinet of Curiosities, out this month! :D

And... so do I. >.>

In the interest of full disclosure, my bit is microfiction and about 70 words long, but Tad's, I'm sure, is MUCH MUCH longer and way more interesting (I'll let you know for sure once I get a copy of the book and read it), and probably makes buying the anthology worth it. The list of names in this book... I'm dreadfully excited and haven't been able to sit still for MONTHS. Besides Tad and I there are Holly Black, Greg Broadmore, Ted Chiang, John Coulthart, Rikki Ducornet, Amal El-Mohtar, Minister Faust, Jeffrey Ford, Lev Grossman, N.K. Jemisin, Caitlin R. Kiernan, China Mieville, Mike Mignola, Michael Moorcock, Alan Moore, Garth Nix, Naomi Novik, Helen Oyeyemi, J.K. Potter, Cherie Priest, Ekaterina Sedia, Jan Svankmajer, Rachel Swirsky, Carrie Vaughn, Jake von Slatt, Charles Yu, and more!

That up thar is the Amazon.com link, but I'm sure it'll be available via other retailers as well, upon its release. GO FORTH AND PURCHASE, YE TADDICTS!
