"GASP! That would be me, coming up for air. How long was I down there? About twenty years, from conception to completion. The Malazan Book of the Fallen is done. Sure, editing and all that crap to follow. But ... done. I don't know who I am. Who am I again? What planet is this? Three months of butterflies ... maybe this double whiskey will fix that. Hmm. No. Delayed reaction going on here."

Many congratulations!

And the scars bourne by us both,
are easily missed,
In the distance between us.

Don't be blind,
Mind,
To be kind,
For you will find,

Kindness has its own rewards,
and each must find his way to heaven

Excellent news and congratulations to SE on such a monumental achievement.

Right, enough prittle prattle, when's the book out ?

Now all the friends that you knew in school they used to be so cool, now they just bore you.
Just look at em' now, already pullin' the plow. So quick to take to grain, like some old mule.

What to say? Words seem feeble at this moment. I suppose I'll just say, well done and thank you Steven Erikson.

I kinda love it when D'rek unleashes her nerd wrath, as I knew she would here. Sorry innocent bystanders, but someone's gotta be the kindling.

What kind of whiskey does this man drink? Seeing as how I can't give him rep directly I'll hafta buy him a bottle or shot I think.

So, you're the historian who survived the Chain of Dogs.
Actually, I didn't.

It seems you stand alone.
It was ever thus.
