Hello Tar Valonites, my name is Scott Ashton and I am a masters student at Brigham Young University, homeland of Brandon Sanderson. I come to you in the Light, bearing glad tidings. On the 3rd of June, Brandon Sanderson's online creative class will begin. Should you so desire to gain an inside look into this genius' thought processes, I urge you to sign up here: http://www.writeaboutdragons.com/home/2013-summer-class/

Note: I'm doing this for a masters degree project and need as many participants as will find it useful!

Wouldn't it have been better if this person contacted someone of power and talk to them about it first before posting something. Of course also posting as well that they spoke with said person to make sure it was alright before they did it? It looks legit, but it was done to make it seem sort of scammy to me. Maybe they did speak with someone and just never said.. I shall keep my mouth shut know for fear I spoke too much. ^_^

Good luck with your Masters, Scott! I"m glad you found us, and hope that you'll stick around to participate and get to know us better :D I'd sign up, but alas I'm far more talented at reading fiction than writing it :P That's really neat that Brandon and BYU are allowing you to post the lectures online! Not many professors (from what I remember...college was awhile ago :look: ) let you record their lectures let alone video them and post them on the internet :laugh:

Yes I'm surprised Brandon Sanderson hasn't been telling anyone about it. Scott, maybe you should talk to him about spreading the word...so many of us fans are following him on Facebook, Twitter, etc. :pleased-1:

Hi Scott, welcome to Tar Valon! We actually have a lot of members in the Salt Lake area, and we're hosting an official event called Fall Ball here in October (people are coming from all over the country - one member is even coming from Australia for the event! And Brandon Sanderson will be coming too :) ). I hope you decide to get involved and learn more about us, and the local Salt Lake crew would love to meet you :)
