Adam here. In this week’s new Writing Excuses episode, Hero, Protagonist, Main Character, Brandon, Mary, Dan, and Howard start the new season with a quick discussion exploring the differences between heroes, protagonists, and main characters. Beginning with addressing the question “wait, aren’t they all the same person?” Because that’s the elephant in the room. Or maybe it’s three elephants. Or two. Sometimes there’s no elephant, and if you look carefully you can see an elephant-shaped hole, which is probably more like a negative number of elephants.

I have some more exciting news regarding The Black Piper’s album: Kaladin. As of this week it is available from iTunes and Amazon mp3.

The Twitter Archive for December is up to date.

I am going to start featuring a new cosplay each week on the weekly round-up. This week it features a fantastic Matrim Cauthon with Brandon at San Diego Comic Con from a few years ago.
