New FAQ from Brandon Sanderson

Brandon Sanderson updated his site today with some of his most frequently asked questions since the recent news that he would be completing A Memory of Light.   He gives a good description of what writing AMoL feels like to him.       Pretend you have purchased an expensive violin from a master craftsman. It probably wouldn't surprise you to discover that one of the craftsman's apprentices helped create that violin. The master may have had the apprentice sand, or apply varnish, or pe

The "Old" Forums

When we first opened the new forums (forums.dragonmount.com) we promised time to backup the your important posts on the old forums.   You'll still have the opportunity to do that - my apologies for making the transition so rapidly without giving people warning.   As soon as I am able to make the old forums public and read-only (so no new posts can go there) you will be able to get back to them and copy your old posts over. If this doesn't happen today or tomorrow (Friday) it will CERTAINLY h

If I cannot fix things at the time they break (ie: my kids need my attention) I will replace the old files to what they were so you won't have to deal with it. But duri

Wanted: Hard Cover Books!

The Bay City Public Library in Bay City, Texas wrote to Dragonmount.com asking for help. Robert Jordan is one of the library's favorite authors. In fact, it turns out Bay City is such a hotbed of Robert Jordan fandom that the library can't keep his books on the shelves! They scour regional bookstores as often as they can, but they still can't keep up with the "turnover".   If you have any extra hardcovers (full size, in good condition) and would be willing to make a donation, Janet would love
