5) Which members do you feel a special connection with?

Oh boy... really? Coco

You like me. you really, really like me. i'm welling up......


no, wait, tell a lie. that was gas.

Solid interview there, Broodie.

But now I'm just curious to know what Illy's question was... and presumably what Brood's answer to it would be.

[caladanbrood]

21) What is the most common question you've read throughout all your years on the Forums? And, has your answer changed from Book to Book?

The one that keeps popping up from time to time over the years is what exactly happened at Pale... and you know, I'm still not 100% certain - the problem with the book forums for people who have been there for a long time is that they do start repeating themselves from time to time, which is a shame. I am making an effort to keep more of an eye on the earlier forums though

Amaretto and coke????

It may sound strange, but it's a really good combo. For some reason when you mix the two of them you end up with a beverage that tastes like Dr. Pepper.


Excellent interview Brood! Thanks for sharing

[Tremolo]

Well answered Brood and well edited Shinrei. Another great interview.

[D'rek]

I think we should start adding the James Lipton questionnaire on the end of these

[Macros]

only person to verify that amaretto and coke is drinkable is a girl.
I shall say no more.

Great interview brood, but no I'm curious for the whole "who, me?" tale, do tell, I want a video re-enactment of tistes almost jigging on the spot as well (not as dirty as it sounds)

meh, first one I haven't got a question into, maybe they were too bizarre this time round

what's your favourite alcoholic beverage again?


Anyways, twas a good interview. I could hear Brood's voice in all its emo glory as I read through it. Amusingly enough I believe you were the first malazan I ever met. Or.. didn't you drop by in Oslo before the first bbq?

[Cougar]

Broody, Tiste, Grumble, Stone Monkey, Mezla, IH and me were at the TtH book signing and someone sitting with us asked a qustion, SE looks into the crowd, points to the general area of Brood and says, "I recognise you from the forum". Brood's face lights up, this is the moment his life has been building up to, I mean, who else has a promo copy of Deadhouse Gates, who else has complied a database about the books? Brood his face aglow with trepidation, a bulge begining to appear in his trousers, says: "Who, me?" and SE goes "No, him", pointing to Tiste and adding "I see you in pictures with hot girls". Cue hilarity from the Malazites, Brood hopes that the floor of waterstones will collapse and kill us all so this endless moment of humiliation will end, everyone else who isn't a forum member wonders who these fucking losers at the back are.

[Shinrei]

Oh, why not:

How did it feel to be pointed out by Steven Erikson at a signing becaus- no, no you. The member next to you.

There you go Illy.

[Macros]

Gin I believe. Glorious gin, but if we're on a night out and I'm broke, then a bottle of your foulest wine please, I want to get loaded and spend as little as possible.

I find it amusing that Iktovian is your favourite character, I would have though you would have opted for ultimate Emo and picked Mhybe, instead of the second in command

[Shinrei]

Cross post with Cougar.

See, this is the kind of good story that should come out in thread. I didn't know what Illy's question meant, which is why I didn't include it.

[Macros]

mega cross post.
man that would abeen embarassing, bwahahahahaha!

Officially the funniest real life Malazan incident yet!

I did. I think it was only just before the BBQ though, because the reason I couldn't come was that I was still travelling round Europe





Amaretto, incidentally, is a good drink to finish a night on, because it's about 135% sugar




I'm fairly sure the Who, me? conversation was only limited to us forum lot, it wasn't the entire crowd which witnessed my humiliation. But it was funny!

[Morgoth]

we do so enjoy your humiliation (though sadly I was not present at this particular incident)

Whisper's mournfull look after we were forced to wash him after the last bbq certainly competes

[Cougar]

First up, it wasn't just us, it was the whole room, the story wouldn't make sense if we weren't still sitting at the back of the audience where you could mistake him pointing to Tiste for him pointing to you, you were to my left and Mezla was to my right.

[caladanbrood]

My memories must be fuzzy. Which makes sense, considering how wasted I got that night to hide my shame

If you keep circulating this myth about Mezla being sick on a dog, then one day I suspect you'll wake up to find your last, pain filled hours involve an angry molecular biologist, a ball gag, some electrodes and a red hot poker, and as you lose consciousness for the final time, although your main thought will be "I wish I'd listened to Jim about antagonising Mezla" the peripheral revelation, niggling at the back of your mind, will be that the word 'fist' can also be a verb.
