:cool:
Just maybe pool together a thread here for FAQ's we can all think of for each book (thread for each?), though general ones can go in GotM I guess or where they first occur/appear. ie soletaken and D'ivers could be saved for DG (yes I know you see Rake veer and the Galayn Lord, but you can't reveal everything, something like. . . You find out in the next book. . . ?)
Then when it's pretty substantial, sticky a topic for each. Add in that people can PM the mod squad to add things.
Or just have a looksy through the threads and see what comes up all the time.

Perhaps we can use the main site for this? We already have a FAQ section up, so i figure we can add a section for each book and a general one. Make use of the site i suppose:D

meh.. deleted the last message - it was total gobbledygook.
I'll create sub-sections for the books then... and we can add questions and answers as they crop up.
added a couple, just to check out how it looks

I think the Apostrophe's (e.g. Tlan Imass - T'lan Imass may be confusing for newb's to the series). Can anyone remember the explaination Erikson gave for that? (before ritual and after or something like that).

I also think they need to be locked to prevent spamming and unnecessary posting?
Which would mean unfortunately that only mods and admins can add to the posts of course, but requests for additions can be PM'd to us.
Anyone got anything else they'd like to see or suggestions for a better format?
