I keep hearing rumors that you are going to write either a short story or a book conecting the Shadow series to the Speaker universe. So, is it true?

I think it's been discussed. Once or twice. A minute. All summer.

Almost the shortest. He once answered, no.

Actually, he once replied "*" to a thread -- I think that'd be the shortest. This was back in the day when one had to enter a password at the time of posting rather than log in, and if the password was wrong then the post might get lost. He replied "*" to see if he correctly remembered his password (which he did), and afterward edited the post to include what he wanted to say.

I may have been the only one to see it happen. It was on July 27th, 2002, which had been his first day active for quite some time. Some rather self-centered person bumped his own landmark at the time hoping for a response from the man (and happily received one).

Just sayin'.

"I may have been the only one to see it happen. It was on July 27th, 2002..." etc

They certainly picked the right guy to be moderator, Pops.

Huh.

I wonder who that rather self-centered person was?

I assume it may have something to do with people being jerks to him.

For the last six years, he's tended to post in spurts, usually coinciding with the completion of a book or a promotional tour. The average frequency of his posts declined dramatically around January 2001, and has never really recovered.

If you do, Tom, would you trade me a copy in exchange for a share in my collection of OSC's toe-nail clippings?

I don't think there's any reasonable way I can call myself a "family friend", no. I've never been to his house, and he's never been to mine, and I've never spoken to him on the phone. Aside from Endercon and a couple book signings, our interaction has been right here and over e-mail.

As to the self-centered person, Rani.... *whistles innocently*

God, no. The forum doesn't even do that.
