As Hetan/Mal pointed out in the Willful Child thread, SE is doing an AMA on Reddit 10th September.

does he know that is the internet slowdown day?

He will when it takes him 20 minutes to post a reply to the "When you sit down to write how long do you write for?" Question that invariable comes up.

[Whisperzzzzzzz]

I don't think reddit will actually be slowed down. As far as I'm aware, sites are just adding a loading widget (that'll bring about real change...right?).

[Defiance]

Yeah, from what I read most websites aren't actually going to slow themselves down.

I'm at a loss when it comes to what to ask him. Kind of wish this had come after Willful Child and Fall of Light. Hopefully some people out there have got some interesting questions. I love reading all of SE's Q&A's, but I'm sure a lot of people are tired of the generic questions that get asked every single time.

Bubba cares not who knows his Reddit name! Muahahahaha. Ahem, I'll go back to my regularly scheduled ridiculous Reddit content on Big Brother and Colts.

[Defiance]

The thread is up! Go ask your questions and enjoy the forthcoming, beautifully-detailed responses.

Woooo! He's already wrote more than most AMA'ers in his opening post...

For those who skim it: He won't answer the questions until 2 PM Pacific / 4 PM Central time.

Hey, somebody with a reddit account should ask him if we ever learn why (TTH/FoL(?) spoiler):

Spoiler

there are blue Jaghut, and if we learn more about them ever.

That's all I want to know.

I asked.

ICE is working on a pre-Empire/early Empire novel called Dancer's Lament!


Fuck yes!

"Timeline? Yeah, whatever." - Steven Erikson

Direct quote.

[Whisperzzzzzzz]

"Cam and I have talked about collating and organising our notes with the aim of creating a world-book for pen and paper gaming. Not sure what angle we'll take on its publishing and distribution: we're in talks with a couple companies right now. Either way, we might have to launch a kickstarter, if only to justify our taking time away from (money-making) writing in order to do it justice (and keep bread on the table)."

Lots of other interesting bits throughout the AMA. Definitely a must read.

[Kanubis]

Ooh, CAM is writing Early Empire novels, starting with "Dancer's Lament"

[Tiste Simeon]

Fantastic AMA I got there too late to ask anything (though I did just in case) but really enjoyed reading through it.

[Vengeance]

Here is the actual AMA link to his interview


Steve's 9/10 AMA on Reddit

[EmperorMagus]

Fan question:
The most important question though... what would happen if Tehol, Quick Ben, Kruppe and Shadowthrone played poker?(someone later added Pust to the list!)
Equally ridiculous fan answer to the question:
"As I look slyly at the others, none of them know I hold the nuts! Wait, no that is Mogora. Where is that witch? Ah! Behind Quick Ben who just went all-in with a bluff. Clap your hands behind you my friend, you'll look dashing! Well, my bluff is twice as bluff as his! Let us see who can outwit the witted!"

Is it me, or is that hilarious?

[Tiste Simeon]

So yeah a couple of days later SE answered my question. Utter hero.

[Whisperzzzzzzz]

His answer to worry's question:

"If you were a Jaghut, you'd be blue too."

[worry]

He's right, of course.
