If you mean Shayol Badguyhouse (Dunmalignin) or whatever it's spelt, then maybe, but if you meant Merrilor then they're already there, hell, Rand travels in at the end of TOM.

Indeed, I more meant that I don't things are going to roll out where and as they have been foretold to. But yeah, you got me on the technicality.

[Terez]

Don't feel bad, Quick...I have to remind people that Rand is already at Merrilor on the WoT forums all the time. I dunno why most people don't seem to realize that.

[Illuyankas]

They're probably waiting for the Perrin POV Rand camp entry scene where Perrin is the only one not stumped by Rand's stump and they discuss the whole colours vision thing and they see Mat huddled in a corner of the camp with hands over his ears while Thom and Moiraine bang like crazy and everyone gets really uncomfortable. Also spoilers I am Brandon Sanderson and that scene is already in AMOL.

[Terez]

Brandon is not nearly funny enough to be you.

I thought he was aiming for November 2009, November 2010 and then November 2011, 3 books 3 years. What is taking so long? The book is already written isn't it, the main points anyway.

This is one reason I am a major SE fan, he has brought out a book a year for the last 10 years and the complexity is a lot more than what is going on with this series, i'm a big fan of this series, hence me wanting the last book but you're talking 20 months between books here minimum.

Not your fault Terez it just seems that you are in the "know".

Hah, it's not written, just parts of it. Brandon Sanderson is even more of a workaholic than SE. I think this will be his first delay ever, and SE has had a few himself.

i'm really, really looking forward to this one. That's why i'm frustrated, his last 2, Towers of Midnight and the Gathering Storm were just epic. I have not read anything else of his work, have you? Are they good books? What ones would you recommend?

Everything.

No, seriously. EVERYTHING. I have only one of his books in paperback-- Elantris. The rest I own in hardcover. I bought the dudes second book EVER in hardcover. I have both Sanderson/Jordan novels signed (by both Sanderson and Jordans widow), Way of Kings (Jordans widow editted it, so I've got her siggy on that mo'fo, too), and my hard cover of Mistborn 1. I'm hoping he comes to town for A Memory of Light so I can get MOL and my other two Mistborn HC';s signed. They're seriously good books, and I refuse to lend them out, even. A friend owns the books in paperback and he lends them out, instead-- original cover as it was released, etc, for all my HCs.

Just, really. Sanderson is goddamned fucking amazing and I've yet to be disappointed. Day of release for his newest (Alloy of Law) I'll have it in my hands. A day later I'll be done reading it. I'll have to smack a friend in the head to get him to get my copy of Alloy signed. He'll do it, since that's why he'll have read it at that point

I beat ya, I have ELANTRIS in Hardcover as well as the rest...I just randomly had extra money that day, loved the cover of ELANTRIS, so I bought it and read it without knowing squat about it...after that I bought every other one after that is Hardcover.

[legorossi]

The series is really great that i'm willing to wait as long as the book delivers. I need my questions answered.

*Shakes his tiny, angry fist*

Damn, I'd love to have a get a HC cover of Elantris so I could have that signed.

On Sanderson's website the progress bar is at 80%. He might finish the first draft this year. From there on it shouldn't take all that long (maybe 6 months) until the last book hits the shelves. I'm excited.

[Terez]

He's only got about 10% left to go for his own writing - there's a huge chunk of RJ writing that has yet to be inserted (the very end). But Harriet has asked for more time for editing, so even if he makes his November deadline, we're still probably looking at a November 2012 release. It has to go through Team Jordan first (Harriet and RJ's assistants, Maria and Alan) and then back to Brandon for his 10% cut edit...and then to the beta readers. They were only given about a week to look it over last time, and word is they'll be given at least a month this time.

[Abyss]

Who wrote the part where Nyneave sniffs, smooths her skirts, and then clubs the Dark One to re-death with her braid?

[Terez]

That was all you, dear. I'll ask Brandon to credit you for that if it shows up in the book.

I WIN!

[Terez]

So you keep telling us. It's okay, we believed you a long time ago thanks to SE. No need to keep reminding us.

IMO, you come very close to winning, but Illy is funnier. Just saying.

Sanderson does editing really fast. Now, with all the other people involved it might of course take longer.

Btw. doesn't he already send parts of the manuscript to SC for editing, continuity check etc.? It's probably not that he waits to write the entire first draft before sending it off. But ok, a summer release might be optimistic. And if it doesn't come out in summer, then they're going to wait until Nov. for the holiday sale.

He did that for previous books, but they decided to do it different this time; he's writing the whole book before sending it on.

Uh thanks. That's what I was missing.

[Terez]

On his tour Brandon has told several people his new goal to turn in the first draft is December (it was originally the 1st of November).

[Cobbles]

The progress bar has hit 100% I assume that means he has handed it over to team Jordan and others for editing?
