Life is a waste of time
Time is a waste of life
So get wasted all of the time
And you'll have the time of your life

Good suggestion, Menolly!
Akasri, Kansas is not nearly so far away as some have come for previous Elohimfests. At the most recent one (June 2011), we had Watchers from England and from Australia. Following the release of TLD, we are counting on every Watcher who possibly can to attend the one next June.
Yes, Sarge, Australia is a mythical land...

SRD calls me by my real name dammit! 
And as usual when I have to get a definite answer I have to go to the source and YES ELOHIMFEST IS ON for the week of June 23rd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
I'm VERY glad I went too, I have his email and know where he practices karate, but prefer never to bother him, and this may have been his ONLY public appearance post TLD.
Literary Leper:
I asked the last question, 'what lies ahead' and Stephen replied that upon finishing this massive 12 year process he's way too numb to even consider what's next. Then he answered the perennially complex "anti-hero" question quite simply by saying, "If you're reading TLD you know he's finally starting to come around..." He didn't really do a reading but performed a very interesting contrast of 4 of his styles reading the 1st pages of Against All Things Ending, The Real Story, Mythological Beast and The Man Who Fought Alone. Reiterating that he envisions the end of his stories and then works to get there but that it's very important for him to establish distinct styles in order to create particular worlds. He said style and, particularly, pace is a main distinguishing factor. When it came to the Covenant books he said that since he, personally, reads at a slow pace fleshed out descriptions of the Land, events and character's psychological profiles were more important to him than the story itself. But, since he always knew where he was going that impetus and his support system created a mesh that allowed the 'magic' of the prose to come forth.
He said he's still very critical of the works, and in that way will never be truly finished with the Chronicles, but is always amazed with the lyricism that fueled the 'magic' whenever he rereads. Like Tesla, he attributes his gift for lyricism to power outside himself. He told a neat little story about publishing interplay between him and Patricia McKillip, probably the fantasy writer he admires most and is great personal friends with, and cited McKillip as one of the greatest lyrical writers of all time and a constant inspiration. He also mentioned Steve Erikson and Henry James as great stylists in their own right, Erikson with his multiple character styling, in particular.
