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.

Deborahdore's Army (Bobby $) - Limited Time to Get Involved, Act Now

All future readers: Note the date this thread was posted: May 2012. This offer is no longer valid.


Deborah needs some assistance from a few volunteers. Of course, there's a huge perk involved. ;)

Your mission, should you choose to accept it:

I want to build a small army of peeps to whom I can send a copy of the book, then direct, over the summer into September, to tweet, buzz, review the book, etc etc.  I'll make a program for it then be emailing everyone.  What they write, of course, is up to them.

Can you get a shout out right now on the message boards for me?  Peeps should email me quickly if they want to be part of this.  I'm asking the message-board-folks first.  Sunday or possibly Monday I'll ask FB peeps & Twitter followers.  I've got about 20 places I think.

So there you have it. If you're interested, contact Deb right away by sending an email to deborah.shazam@batnet.com.

eta: I'm going to cross-post to Community so no one who might be interested will miss this... ~SS

Wouldn't it be great if this DA brought back together the MST-reread team? Well, at least some ...

Re: Deborahdore's Army (Bobby $) - Limited Time to Get Involved, Act Now

A group read thing might be something interesting. Everyone can post their initial reactions to TDSOH chapter by chapter....of course, Deborah and Daw might have something other in mind, but having an online discussion about the book close to release date that interested people could refer to might be a neat thing. Spoilers would be a problem, though. Time will tell.

Send a follow-up email, Libra. Perhaps the first went astray...

Follow up with Deb. She occasionally has problems with her email, so it might be that, or maybe she just hasn't caught up yet. I'm sure she'll reply.

I received a book-shaped-package today!!!  Prolly because I'm the closest, but that won't stop me from *squeeing*.  And noting the fact that I get to start reading it RIGHT NOW!

*squees more*
