Brandon Sanderson / Where is it?
« on: May 02, 2011, 01:44:29 AM »
Why has brandonsanderson.com gone away?
News:
"Magic is what makes fantasy fantastic," someone says, "you can't apply rules to them or else it loses wonder!" I respond, "Sure, but if you want to write them you will certainly want to know how they work." Writing is all about execution, and I find applying some basic laws of physics to magic systems make them more understandable and realistic. Here, I'm going to outline my basic method for developing a magic system.

Brandon Sanderson / Official WoK Fan Art (Here there be spoilers)
« on: September 11, 2010, 10:07:43 PM »
So as a person of no artistic talent i was hoping someone might create a couple scenes from WoK that i found cool. The first is the scene when Kaladin jumps the bridge as it is being pushed across the gap that leads to dalinar. The second scene is the one in which kaladin kills the shardbearer in the flashback.

Brandon Sanderson / Reading suggestions.
« on: September 05, 2010, 11:47:54 AM »
having finished WoK i would reccomend readers (in order to most appreciate and understand the developing plot) read Brandon's books in the order they we're published. If not then read the mistborn trilogy. This will give newcomers a barebones understanding of the forces at play in Brandon's universe (the cosmere)

Brandon Sanderson / "Spoilers" My predictions and suspicions as I read WOK. "Spoilers"
« on: September 03, 2010, 11:06:31 PM »
!st of all i have been taking this book slow so most of the read-a-book-a-day fans might know all of this but i have come to conclusions and i want to post them as thinkof them rather than after they are confirmed/ denied. Again there may be spoilers so RAOR (read at own risk).
1st. Kaladin is using the stormlight in in his spheres for something. I realized this as he was beaten after the bridge run. All his sphears are becoming dun because he uses the stormlight. Its not lashing but a large part of the magic system is still not explained.
2nd I believe Wit is Hoid. Attention has been given him and it is an auxillary role akin to others he has filled.
3rd and a bit more obvious, shallan has a shardblade. I'm not sure how she got it, but she has one.
I am loving the book so far, and i will throw more stuff up as i think of it. feel free to comment and let the thread rabbit trail but untill i finish the book i will be posting other suspicions on this thread without reading other post because i don't want to use others theories as a crutch untill i have finished WOK. Man thsi is engaging.
i hope this thread isn't errorgant.

Brandon Sanderson / Wikipedia articles concerning Brandon's books.
« on: June 06, 2010, 11:12:30 PM »
Okay so I have looked at the wikipedia articles relating to Brandon's books and the majority of them are lacking. There are no plot summerys and most of the information contained therine feels disjointed. I am not that good at summery or informational descriptions (I think the small bit I contributed to atium was heavily edited) but I think that someone should go in and do a major re-vamp and overhaul of the the wikipedia articles. Just a thought.
