I’m not, like, the world’s greatest team player. In group meetings, even if it’s something I feel passionately about, I’ll be pretty quiet the whole time, taking it all in and waiting until I’ve had some time to boil the ideas into bubbles, before replying properly (and at foolish length) at a later date.
However, certain current and future projects require – or rather, they’re rewarded by – a significant degree of back and forth between me and Dan, given the potential for treading on toes, or zigging instead of zagging. Obviously, I can’t say much (and if you jump to conclusions, they’ll almost certainly be wrong, I promise), but I thought it might be interesting to show what I spent a good two hours of my day doing.
I also need a shave, apparently.
Ooooh, let the speculation begin!
I think the angle of your cam better accentuates that considerable pout of yours also.
I was trying to not laugh at Dan being mean about something, but yeah, I look quite precious.
“Hi Dan Abnett” ??? 😉
Having a mess shows that youre actually working. 😉
Please don’t tell me Dan told you to shave… I’m sure I don’t need to point out why that would be silly.
Well Calth is the obvious conclusion but by the way you position it we shouldn’t focus on the obvious – then again that could be a double bluff!!!
Dan’s office is a lot more interesting than yours. The Iron Man, an Elder Thing _and_ the Millennium Falcon- no wonder his books are awesome.
Grow the beard out, man. It’s looking good. Maybe lose it for the wedding photos, but see if you can beat the beast I grew two years ago before then.
Dude, thats Iron Giant, not Iron Man. I almost had my middle name changed to that when I was like 6. ^^
Huzzah! to great others working together o/\o
authors* damm brain
I bet Dan loves that photo.
Just think, though: you’re camwhoring with Dan Abnett. Regularly. That’s more awesome than being driven mad and realizing that the face of God you’re seeing has three eyes.
Also, to dare to tread into the realm of speculation, I’m going to go with NIGHT LORDS IN THE SABBAT WORLDS! At least then if I’m wrong, it’s at least so ludicrously wrong it becomes legend. Glory is fleeting, but infamy is eternal!
Dan looks tired…
stepping on toes? zigging rather than zagging?
The obvious conclusion is that the two of you are choreographing a dance to perform at Games Day.
A Horus Heresy interpretive dance? That’ll be awesome to add to a CV, and even more awesome on Youtube.
the only question is which dancer represents the Imperium and which the Heretics.
question! since your hoping to take on the pre/durning heresy world eaters, could you give me the year… thing that you think angorn was found during the great crusade? im working on an idea, and the timetable for angorn being found is very important.. he
yah.. i definitely did not type that he at the end. but i think it is necessary to get my point across.
The only conclusion I am jumping to is that you two are collaborating on a story; that’s enough awesome sauce to satisfy me right now dude. I’m content to wait for the details.
Oh, this must be regarding your upcoming Heresy novel/duology that you are working with Dan on. The cat came out the bag at BLL!!!
“And if you jump to conclusions, they’ll almost certainly be wrong, I promise.”
I don’t care about the promise, if you and Dan aren’t dancing at Games Day I will be SORELY disapointed.
Oh well. It was too good an opportunity to pass up. Lesson learnt.
I have jumped to and reached a conclusion.
Any conclusion that I jump to regarding BL will almost certainly be wrong.
Take that.
This is truly torture not knowing what the two of you are conspiring on. I truly feel that a hint would be appropriate. If not appropriate, appreciated. 😀
I lolled at Dan Abnett on the picture, I hope the emperor forgives. Honestly I only lolled a little….
Another great post Sir Dembski-Bowden
