Shirts! We've got 'em!

3/16/2017

Cradle shirts are available now for a limited time!

...well, the time isn't that limited, because I'll be putting them back up for sale later. We just want to see how they sell over the next few days, and we'll adjust from there. They might even stay up, who knows?

And it's only Cradle because the Cradle covers are easy to put on a shirt (titles are on the back). Elder Empire and Traveler's Gate shirt designs are currently in the works!

BUY SHIRTS.

I don't know how we'd get those printed, but it WOULD be awesome.

Yeah those would be awesome but unfortunately unless will wants to contract a company to make cloaks and then print things on them from scratch we won't ever see those because unfortunately almost no one actually makes cloaks anymore so you can't really buy them pre constructed for some one else to print things on sadly.

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't buy a cloak that was liable to assassinate me anyway.

Daniel

3/17/2017 01:07:47 pm

But then you could give it to your annoying relatives and never get caught cause no one would believe the cloak did it!

You had me at "buy something from WillWight to further fund his takeover of the world".

You did say that, didn't you?

So, am I iron now? Technically the badge on my shirt would make me an iron forger, right?

Sounds like a cool product and for the EE shirt you could do the Gardeners symbol (shears) or the symbol for the Consultants

Will, could you write how many daily visitors you get.
Would be curious to see how many want to see, what Will so posts.

Will link

3/17/2017 01:41:52 pm

I usually get roughly between 500-1000 unique visitors a day. Shortly after a post, it's right around a thousand.

Closer to the release of a book, and right after, it spikes a little bit higher.

I tell everyone I know to come here and check it out..

Yes! Just bought one of each shirt, even if they don't fit properly they're going up on my wall.

Will, Bc of your recommendations I've recently started reading other works like cradle. I just got caught up on a translated version of a record of a mortals journey to immortality, my mind has been opened to an entire genre I never knew existed. Thank you will!

So the option to buy shirts comes out on my birthday... is that a cosmic hint that I have to buy a shirt?

Daniel

3/17/2017 01:10:12 pm

I would certainly take it that way just to be on the safe side. Besides who knows it my open a door to a new dimension

.......so if I buy one will the book be out sooner?

Will link

3/17/2017 01:42:30 pm

If I say yes, will you buy a shirt?

I think most people would buy a shirt if you said yes

So how many people are going to go and show off how empty they are and how many are going to brag about learning to be master crafter?

Speaking of merch, any chance on you ever doing a paperback / hardback run of the book?

Valinhall shirts, so many options to choose from for a design -I can hardly wait! Thank you

Jim

Will, wouldn't you get better sales, if you were to sell those shirts on amazon. You have much more visitors on it than on teespring, therefore potenital buyers.

Doesn't teespring sell articles on amazon, as well?
If not, then you could try to find one, who offers custom made clothes, as well, if such a company can be found there, anyway.

I've got the perfect idea what Will could sell next.

A chocolate bar in the design of a Remnant.
On the wrapping it has a slogan, which says:

One Bite And You Are Gold!

Read the title as "Shits!! We've got em!!" and was like man no wonder Will delayed the book by a few weeks.

Publish the book already!!!!!!!

You're messing with my zen. I have already resigned myself to the fact that I might have to wait. Please take the negativity somewhere else. Lindon doesn't need this right now. Will please take all the time to get this right. And then get a black flame shirt made so I can buy one.

Wynstro

3/20/2017 03:58:48 pm

Will, absolutely awesome logos and colors. I just ordered the SoulSmith green for the color, but did prefer the Unsouled logo as a better rep for Lindon.

I personally really hope for more merchandising. Maybe action figures so a fan can do a celebrity death match style time capture video of the inter-world what if fights - Go interwebs, you have your mission.

I've loved all your books and have been amazed at the pace you write and at the fact that you manage to deliver great world building and characters while keeping the plot moving - looking at you Tor with all the books that didn't need to be in the big fantasy epics...

Anyways, you are my favorite author, even though most of the guys a step below you are those that you probably have looked to for inspiration.

Thanks again for all your hard work.

Will link

3/21/2017 06:42:34 pm

Can you not get Unsouled in dark green? That's unfortunate, because I like that color too.

Thanks Wynstro! I'll keep cutting as much unnecessary details as I can!

...because I hate it too. I hate it so much.

Hey Will just read the book I really enjoyed it! I do have a question, I decided to go back through and look at the quotes you spoiled several weeks back to put them with the proper moments in the book. But I noticed the one talking about the path of the crawling shades is cut down in the actual version of the novel to not mention a more advanced country or the person that was executed.
Was this done to not discuss other countries in the novel or just done to cut down unnecessary words? From what I can remember no other countries have been talked about outside of Surial introducing Linden to the world. I can presume this is due to not wanting to rank the Blackflame Empire against the other countries yet when the world is little explored for us as readers.

It seems like you've aluded to Underlord not being that impressive in the grand scheme of things while they are the strongest "regular" people we have encountered. I assume the usual reason that pops up in wuxia about country X does not have any good resources so we don't care about it? As the reason why some one stronger has not just swooped in and conqured the blackflame empire? Or RAFO?

In which we ramble on.
And by we, I mean me.
