Moosicus Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I don't know if Goodkind has done a signing in Australia, but if he ever comes to Sydney, I'll get some signatures. I hear that's really expensive. Better start saving money now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whelp Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I hear that's really expensive. Better start saving money now. Nah, a true Follower of Truth will simply show up at the signing, kick the undeserving in the jaw/rip out their spines, take their money, and get the signature. ETA: Jerec, doesn't Australia have the largest number of poisonous animal species in the world? If yes, could you take some specimens along for the signature? (yeah, I know. I am cruel to animals) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerec Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 In all seriousness, I didn't pay full price for any of those books. I got them all at discounts, and that was even while I did enjoy the series (you guys have made me look at it in a new light). Now I keep them around only for reference. Plus, Wizard's First Rule was okay, if not all that well written. On my own, Soul of the Fire was when I noticed something was wrong, but I figured, I'd read 4 books already, so I might as well keep going. Once I've read Confessor (and I can get that for far less than retail price through my connections to the library I work at), I'll probably donate the whole series to the library, or try and get some cash back at a second hand bookshop. They're all in very good condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too true. I bet when all the real hardcore Yeardites show up for a signing it can get really messy. Assuming they choose life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinDonner Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I like the idea of releasing "spoilers" for Confessor. I nominate Nerdanel, whose magnificent "Fireheart" is the closest any of the parodies have come to believable Tairyism... if you missed it first time round, have another read and tell me you wouldn't be surprised if these were actual excerpts from SoT...

The Wolf Maid Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 That is quite a collection, Jerec. I don't know if Goodkind has done a signing in Australia, but if he ever comes to Sydney, I'll get some signatures. Oh my. Try to get him to sign this: To the Lemmings of Discord, May the Yeard be with you. Terry Or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosicus Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Oh my. Try to get him to sign this: To the Lemmings of Discord, May the Yeard be with you. Terry Or something like that. That would be awesome, but it would also be upsetting if he had no idea who his greatest declaimers were. I'd like to ask him to sign mine to The Mad Moose in hopes that he'd fly into a rage and try to punch a melon-size hole in my chest. I'm sure somebody (I'm not gonna say who) is able to whine to tairy in person about us. At least I hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerec Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 ETA: Jerec, doesn't Australia have the largest number of poisonous animal species in the world? If yes, could you take some specimens along for the signature? (yeah, I know. I am cruel to animals) Yes, we do have many poisonous snakes and spiders, among other things. You won't see me going anywhere near them, though. I may take a chicken, but I'd have to make sure it is not a chicken (like, say, a rooster), and claim it is evil manifest. Roosters can be very aggressive. I've been attacked by them before on the school farm. They don't stop to watch you, or pick at dead flesh and make noise. They simply run at you with beak and claws and attack. Nasty things. Getting back on topic, if you did go to a "Goodkind Thing" (I assume that's what he'd call it), introducing yourself as a Lemming of Discord is a good way to suddenly have your spine removed. But thankfully, you've got a few minutes for a last attack before you hit the ground like a sack of crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneeye Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I don't know why but there's a certain suspense that keeps me turning pages to his books despite the weird philosophy also the characters are not that bad but don't come here if you're interested in tg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pita Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I think you, Myshkin, WLU, and word can do it. Although Vigo can help you. So each one of you writes 100 pages. we compile them. And send it. And deserve victory. The thing is, we need a catchy first sentence.

MinDonner Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 But none of them quite match the awesomeness of Tairy's actual first lines. We need something truly great, like The cloud was an odd shape or "Where did I put my hat?" asked Richard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whelp Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 MinDonner, be honest - would any of us want to compete with the Yearded One? Would mere Lemmings of Discord have a chance at all to approach the level that is Terry's writing? I think not. Nevertheless, we can try Richard felt a thing rising in him - a dark, menacing presence. He had only time for a surprised bwaaak, before darkness engulfed him - and the chicken, that was not a chicken, but evil manifest, walked out, wearing Richards body.
