Posted by Meg

The AMA is now live! Peat will be answering questions starting at 4pm EST.
For those of you who haven’t not witnessed the exciting and hilarious world of AMAs, it’s basically an informally forum/interview space when anyone can participate and directly ask Peat a question! Or just leave a comment. Check out Peat last AMA on the fantasy sub-reddit here.
Want to participate but don’t know how?
Here’s how it works:
1. Create a username on Reddit in order to ask Peat a question.
2. Visit the Peter V. Brett AMA anytime today or live tonight at 4pm. Read the intro at the top and post your question (or questions) in the comments. Link to the AMA will be live tomorrow. Watch this space for when it goes live.
3. Reddit uses a pretty simple ‘upvote’ and ‘downvote’ system. See a question you want Peat to answer? Click the arrow to the upper left of the question to upvote it! Peat will answer the most popular questions first.
4. Please be considerate and hide any spoilers. Many of the people on the forum will want to talk about specific things that happened in the books, but there are a lot of folks who haven’t read all the books yet. There is a simple way to hide text that contains spoilers. [Put the spoiler text in brackets like this]and close it with the (/spoiler) tag. It should look like this: [The Warded Man is really Arlen Bales] (/spoiler)
The words are now hidden! When you roll your cursor over the section, your words will appear. There are detailed instructions at the top of the AMA page.
You can also just follow along with the ongoing discussion without making an account or asking questions. It’s up to you! Enjoy!
Thanks formthe AMA, Peat!
As soon as I read it I rushed off to preorder my copy of Messenger’s Legacy – my coworker was a bit worried by how much I was bouncing off the walls after my lunchbreak!
