As a complement to the "Why Did You Pick Your Name?" thread, let's talk about your avatar!
I've actually had four avatars during my time at the Tower, but I've worn this face for at least a decade.
I chose my avatar because I liked his vibrant red hair and just the general use of color in the...
Hey everyone!
A couple of months ago, the hosts from The Black Tower Podcast reached out to us asking if TarValon.Net was interested in guesting on a podcast. We, of course, said yes, because it's a fantastic opportunity to get our name out there and to support others in the fandom. Myself and...
Hello everyone!
This post is a little long-winded, but I want to give everyone some perspective into the decision that was made regarding the future of the Tar Valon Times. I appreciate your patience! There is a tl;dr at the bottom if you want to skip straight to that.
Background Into the...
It is with great pleasure that I announce @Alenya Al'Roran as our new Social Media Manager! She has a ton of experience in Marketing for another forum community, and she's bringing all of that knowledge to us, which I and the Executive Team are incredibly grateful for. She is going to be a huge...
Unfortunately, real life has eaten Bruce, so we're looking for a Social Media Manager!
The position has changed a little bit to make it less time-consuming than it was previously. A lot of the duties will be handled by the Director of Marketing to allow the Social Media Manager to focus solely...
As a preface to this entire thread, all comments need to be made in a respectful manner, regardless of your opinion of LGBTQ+ inclusion.
There's not much in the way of LGBTQ+ inclusion in the source material, unfortunately. Yes, there are two named gay male characters (Algarin Pendaloan and...
Everyone,
It's been a couple months since we made the original hiring announcement. At the time of the application deadline, we didn't have anyone that was able to take on the position, and after discussing it with the other Executives and Officers, it was decided that I would continue to do...
So, we had our Glitter Freeweek a couple of months ago, and now it's time to announce the winners! I sincerely apologize for the delay in this.
Scavenger Hunt
There was a lot of participation here, but the winner was Alenya Al'Roran! Congratulations! Please wear this badge to show that you are...
This week, Rafe asked what reader's favorite cultural detail in The Wheel of Time is. Let him know either on Twitter by replying to the tweet, or on here and we'll communicate it through our account! (regardless, post here, because I'm curious!)
Rafe Judkins' just hosted a Q&A on Twitter regarding the upcoming Wheel of Time television series. Over 190 questions were asked and answered, and while we do have a full transcription available in our library, here are some of the main takeaways (spoilers galore!):
Rafe is in communication...
We have an official TarValon.Net Twitter account that we'll be asking one question from, but afterwards, we'll see if we can sneak in questions from members if you have them but don't have a Twitter account! (EDIT: We cannot do this. Sorry!)
Questions we've thought of:
Do they have site sets...
Lireina says that I'm not allowed to do two jobs at once, so I'm going to have to hire my replacement. Normally, this is the part where the Director thanks the person leaving the position for all their time and pontificates on how good a job they've done, but as I'd be lauding myself, that might...
On social media, we share artwork every Friday, and I figured it'd be cool to post it here as well if you don't follow us there (although really, you totally should).
This week's piece was by artist Persephone Raven.
Remember that time y'all got together and raised more than $3,000 to humiliate @Rhed al'Tere and I?
Yeah, we thought so. :( :( :(
Well, one of the rewards was a Glitter Free Week. No, that's not a week without glitter (God, we wish...), but instead a week where the Tower will be taken over by...
Description
