Stilts19 Fri Aug 31
@BrandSanderson listening to older podcasts, I wish you all would be more self-aware in the 'brainstorming' episodes. maybe don't just do the brainstorming, but examine what methods you're using while you do it.

RevNew Mon Sep 03
@BrandSanderson got turned away at DragonCon signing, wanted to say thx for writing intense/awesome fantasy w/out making it overtly grimy.
BrandSanderson Mon Sep 03
@RevNew That stinks. I didn't realize they had turned people away. Thanks for reading.
SunDriedRainbow Mon Sep 03
@BrandSanderson a little disgusted that you included a throwaway line about Tylin raping Mat. Still buying the book though. Prob twice.
BrandSanderson Mon Sep 03
@SunDriedRainbow Hard to ignore that it happened, returning to the city as he was.
@BrandSanderson I know I know! I just wish it could have been more . . . weighty. But I have to grant that Mat isn't one for introspection. I feel the same way about all the characters saying "you go tylin" in ACOS, too.BrandSanderson Mon Sep 03
@SunDriedRainbow It is one of the wot's most controversial sequences, to be sure.
JamesLuckman Mon Sep 03
@BrandSanderson . . . you re-awakened the Mat/Tylin sexual assual vs. super funny joke fury. Ahh the indignant fandom. *sighs*
BrandSanderson Mon Sep 03
@JamesLuckman *sighs in agreement*
