Everything Is Late

Posted on by scott

Fan Art Friday is super late now, so I’m just waiting till . . . Friday. #isuck

But as you can see, I’ve made up for it below.

But first, shall we vote on the next character reveal? Here are your choices:

David
Astrix
Ho
Ryde
Dr. Cable
Random Special

Hmm. This one might be a bit easy. In any case, use this comments thread to vote, argue, and otherwise inveigle!

In the meantime, please enjoy this entire PAGE of art from Shay’s Story. It’s from early in the books, when Shay, Zane, and the other Crims are sneaking into New Pretty Town.

But what you really want to see is the BIGGER and ZOOMABLE version!
So click here for that.

And now to repeat the annoying news: The release date for Shay’s Story has been delayed a week due to paper shortages. (Because we decided to make it bigger, so you can see all the art better!) It now comes out March 6, 2012.

Pre-order Shay’s Story at Indie Bound, BarnesandNoble.com, or Amazon. Or buy it on March 6 at a proper bookstore.

    Funny how the manga-ness makes the difference between Uglies and Pretties smaller than one would think… Maybe it’s just me…..

  33. SteampunkJedi, It’s from Uglies. I’m an old-timer here, I’ve been on this site for like… wow, 3 years now? 4 years? Uglies was the first of Scott’s books I read back in 2007, when I was in 7th grade, so I’ve always liked it.

  34. Another tally! (cause I’m bored)
    Dr. Cable: 35 votes
    David: 27 votes
    Random Special: 6 votes

    Looks like we’re seeing Dr. Cable this week! (Unless a LOT of David-lovers vote tomorrow)

    ‘Wa’ and ‘La’ are just syllables that the characters from the Uglies series put on the ends of their names for fun. Most of them do it only to their friends, and it’s usually only the teens that do it.

    Deciding between ‘wa’ and ‘la’ on the end of the name is done by this simple rule:
    If there’s an ‘L’ in the name, you use ‘wa’.
    If there isn’t an ‘L’ in the name, you use ‘la’.
    So, for example, your name would be SteampunkJedi-la because there isn’t an ‘L’ in your username.
    My name would be Libby-wa, because obviously I have an ‘L’ in my name.

    &@scott-la —> will you be in NYC at all for Shay’s Story? I have to go to some kind of author event this semester, and was wondering if by any chance you had anything going on, like promoting for Shay?
