At this point, Brandon started signing my books. I recorded the conversation while he was doing it, so from here on out it’s transcribed. I always ask for something unique, but this time around bossman insisted the HCFFs should ask for a unique personalization—probably because Brandalization kind of decreases the value of signed books!—so Brandon took it as a matter of course. I asked for Zombie’s infamous love pentagram.
(start transcript)
….you have to draw a pentagram….and then, you know, you can start with Moiraine on one tip, and then just follow it around, right?
Uh-huh. Okay, yeah, that is…I do remember that. Okay. So…. (draws two lines) Can I even draw a pentagram?
Now, they go up to the middle…
Yeah, now they go up like this…
…right…
…like that, and then across.
(laughs) Yes. It’s perfect.
And then Thom…
No, nonononono! Because, like, Moiraine connects to Thom here…
Oh, it goes like that! I see what it is…
Right, right. Yeah.
I see.
And then Thom connects to…
…to Morgase.
Right.
Is this like the hook-up quadrilateral?
It’s a love pentagram. (laughs)
Okay, and then Morgase is not going to be Tallanvor….
Gareth…
Morgase is going to be Gareth Bryne, and then Bryne is going to be Siuan….
And then…
Oh, Siuan and Moiraine, pillow-friends! Right, yeah….
…and then Siuan comes back to Moiraine! Yeah!
Yeah, yeah, okay.
It works perfectly.
Yeah, the Wheel of Time is basically one big hook-up chain. (laughter)
Well, I thought this was special, cause it’s like…it’s not a love triangle; it’s a love pentagram.
Yep.
Yeah, okay. Again, sorry for my handwriting.
And then you have to draw a heart.
(draws heart and sparklies)

(laughs) That’s great. Now for the questions!
Alright, now for the questions.
Alright.
