I love it when that happens. SRD should get a "best recruiter" Watchy.

Yeah..... I'm still quite amazed by the nod to the Watch on the dedication page in FR... It's pretty cool the number of new members we have gotten that way.

Welcome!

I'm happy to say that my dedications page is signed by two of the people it is dedicated to, as well as by the author. Now if I could just meet the author...

Crap! Why didn't I think of that?

(Don't remind me how much I regret not trying to get my copy signed by all three in SF last year... )

...Greetings from the edge of the known world,
I was Googlin', to try and find the release date for "Against All Things Ending", when I stumbled upon this site.
Holy Crap 2500 folks talkin' about Thomas Covenant (and other Stephen Donaldson books) I haven't met even one person, in at least 20 yrs, that has even heard of Stephen Donaldson
Thanks for being here, folks,

Welcome aboard, Bill. It's quite a cool place.

Be welcome to the Watch, Bill.
Be Well Come and True.

Welcome, BillA. This a great gift for me , as well. It took me about 35 years to find this place. 35.......can you believe it...35!!! Got lost along the way.

BTW - Where is the edge and can I come visit? I have looking for the edge for years.

Click on the phoogle map link in the bottom of Bill's post, lorin.
You'll see the edge right there.

Thanks for the warm welcome Y'all

Yo, lorin...what Menolly said

That's why I told you where to click.

Say hey lorin,
If'n by "the olympic highway" you mean Hwy 101, then yes. Hwy 101 runs from Canada thru California. I suppose that the part that runs through the Olympic Peninsula might be called the Olympic Highway? And yes...it's more scenic than I-5
If'n you're planning a trip through here, feel free to PM me about motel phone numbers or whatever.
Maybe we could even meet for a beer?

I was a bit miffed as well. Only me and my father ever spoke about SRD or TC.... then again you don't go around Swansea and randomly start talking about books...... books are bad.... it is OK for children until they get to 12 then from there on its beer and drugs........

Yes, being a Donaldson reader is a lonely endeavor. Kind of makes you wonder: how on earth did he end up selling so many Chronicles books back in the day? And where have all those readers scattered now?

internet
mp3s
videos
e-books
and for those who stuck with books
...lack of promotion.

Yes, Menolly, that last line sums it up well.
