Operation Goodkind is now underway.

Feel free to be as inventive as you like, Brothers and Sisters.

Brother champ has supplied us with the neccessary arsenal we will require.

Each of you are tasked with sending a copy of Goodkind via email to Apt.

Now, I understand if you do not wish for Apt to know you email, I suggest going to mail.com/gmail.com/hotmail.com and creating a secondary email - prefferably one that is a reference to Goodkind or his stories i.e Goodkind_4eva@mail.com

I will need you to PM me your email address or to send me an email at sorkatani@live.com so I can forward on the Goodkind kindle file.....don't worry if you can't view it - just save the file or forward the email onto Apt.

(If we do it via email and not by the forums we won't be breaking any of the rules :D )


I suppose it'll take a while for everyone to be made aware of this, so I will say that the first copy must be sent by tomorrow, but no later. Once it is sent, I would know the date and time of said sending.

WHO HERE WILL LEAD THE WAY AND SEND THE FIRST COPY? IF THERE ARE NO VOLUNTEERS, I WILL PICK SOMEONE.

The plan of action as of 17/05/2011:

- Apt shall recieve a generic courtesy email from Goodkind's Goodfolk once a week -- who composes the message is not important, as long as the text itself is convincing

- The inclusion of an ebook in said email is not always necessary -- it is my opinion that we hold back on the ebooks and only send one every now and again in order to keep things believable

- Trolling shall commence in a similar, believable fashion to anyone who replies to High Seeker Kitty, as Apt has suggested.

- Emails do not need to be send exactly a week apart, as long as there is only one message per week

Further edditing:

In light of the new newsletter template, no specific person will be selected to create a message, instead I will require three articles per week -- I will accept all submissions and those not used immediately will be used in an upcoming newsletter. I would appreciate as many articles as I can get, from as many of you as are willing to write them. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Faith of the Fallen - Terry Goodkind - Week commencing 06/06/2011

I can not ask you to do something unless I myself am willing to do it.

I shall cast the first stone

I have 11 files - am I sending them all and if not, which one should I send? (I am not a Goodkind fan so I don't know which is the first book and which is the second book etc)

I wonder if we should change the name of this thread.

'Operation Goodkind' may excite Apt's interest.

A different one will be sent each time. They will be send in a random order so we need to keep a record of what's been sent. You can pick whichever number you please -- I don't think it makes a difference.

I stand ready, Senechal. I can't decide between Naked Empire and Confessor, so I'll just send Chainfire.

Loki, feel free to put me in the list wherever. Send me the book and I'll send it to him when requested.

:D

I almost want to compose an email where I pose as Tairy and ask him to review my books...

...but I'm not sure I can be douchy enough...LOL
