Is it possible for this Alan to publish the timeline between tGS and ToM when ToM comes out? *NM* Great Lord of Chaos Send a noteboard - 28/09/2010 03:39:32 AM
So there's a pretty intense discussion about the timeline issues in tGS and ToM over at Theoryland, and Peter Ahlstrom, Brandon's assistant, chipped in with this to say:

People unhappy about what they've seen of timeline issues in TGS and ToM so far are not going to be any happier once the book comes out. The best thing I can recommend about this is to ask Brandon on tour why certain decisions were made, if you want to know and can't figure it out. Harriet will be on the tour too, and Maria and Alan will be at the New York signing.

Alan's two main jobs on Team Jordan are keeping track of the timeline and advising with warfare issues. They have nailed down the timeline. But that does not mean that the chapters will necessarily occur in a linear order.

Thoughts?

I thought Sidious was being sarcastic. *NM* Narg - 28/09/2010 01:39:10 PM 303 Views

Sounds more like the pros and cons of an omniscient author. Joel - 28/09/2010 12:44:19 PM 789 Views
There was an easy solution to this - tell the readers each chapter! ajfurst - 28/09/2010 09:16:59 AM 743 Views
Maybe the entire book could just be a big calendar *NM* Deadsy - 28/09/2010 10:32:47 AM 309 Views
With subtexts to show what each character is doing relative to the other one *NM* Sidious - 28/09/2010 11:53:15 AM 350 Views
I actually think that would be awesome RugbyPlayingAshaman - 28/09/2010 04:17:13 PM 692 Views

I agree with your analysis Ashaman_Luc - 28/09/2010 04:49:20 PM 836 Views
For the record, my mom didn't like it either, and she's a casual reader (has read each book once) Deadsy - 28/09/2010 06:12:45 PM 660 Views
