Darth Richard II Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Damn, checking in to see if any update on release date and...damn. No editors yet is a bad, bad sign for even a late 2016 release date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calibandar Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Has anyone considered a boycott of Overlook? Maybe something like "I'm not going to purchase anything published by Overlook until they release some kind of statement concerning their plans for for Bakker's release date"? I know I'd be down for that Bad idea. If we want to do anything at all it is for as many people to ask them about when they will be publishing TUC.

Werthead Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Covered the story here. Like I said, ask them. Email and Tweet them and try to find out what the heck is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentRoamer Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Thanks Werthead that's very kind of you to post. I will send my two pence worth over to them when I finish work today. Hopefully a bit of fan momentum might make a ripple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hello World Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Has anyone considered a boycott of Overlook? Maybe something like "I'm not going to purchase anything published by Overlook until they release some kind of statement concerning their plans for for Bakker's release date"? I know I'd be down for that How about an “Occupy Overlook” thing? Surely we can get one person to stand in front of OL’s headquarters with a ‘Release R. Scott Bakker’ sign.

Bolivar Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Since Adam was kind enough to cover this on his site, we should probably get our first round of tweets out there today. Try to include both @overlookpress and @orbitbooks in your post. Right now I'm using #TheUnholyConsult, I doubt we could get that trending with all the news today but it does help. If you follow Overlook and Orbit before tweeting at them, they will get a notification once a number of their followers are tweeting about the same hash tag. Lastly, it's important to write your own message and not just retweet, as I think Twitter does not send notifications when someone retweets a message you were tagged in.I wrote this:Dear @orbitbooks and @overlookpress - please edit and publish #TheUnholyConsult by R. Scott Bakker! @bakkerfans Is there any chance we could get Pat to cover this as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calibandar Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Several people have already mailed them now at [email protected] I hope. Maybe Wert will hear from his Orbit contact as well. Really the last thing we need now is a delay from the publisher's side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
