Well i dont see how many can get fooled considering hovering your cursor over the thread gives a preview.

I am just amazed I read through everyone's reactions.

So you're telling me you actually took your time in opening this thread? You waited a good 2seconds for the preview tool-tip to come up?...well then...we now know who the true fans are don't we.

I do it for every thread, regardless. Even if it said "hot supermodel naked." I would hover it to see if it was a joke.

I sense a young teen scarred by too many goatse and lemonparty pictures.

So mods and friends of Erikson. Any knews yet on the Prologue? Just because it's delayed shouldn't mean we can't get a taste.

Maybe the mods can serialize the prologue in this selfsame thread... one paragraph at a time, spread over many many many future pages... so that each one of us poor slobs (who has too much time anyway) can while away days hunting for the next bit of the prologue through a pile of 'aarghs' and 'ouch'es

Just a thought!

Yeah. Think about it. It is Erikson, just, kinda takes a while to sink in...

I don't know, Duiker never struck me as the singing type. I'm guessing the Bard will be a new character.

I blame computer RPG's. Thanks to them I think of bards as that useless class whose principal offensive power is singing a motivating ballad.

Easy way I remember - Shakespeare is always called "The Bard". And he isn't famous for his singing voice.
