Brandon Sanderson / Re: Sex and sexuality in the Mistborn series...missing?

A lot of guys like to eat out because sometimes it's easier and more convenient to just grab a pizza at lunch or after work then to go home and make one yourself.

And I'm sure if we all tried really, really hard, we could all connect the pizza thing back to 'Sex and sexuality in the Mistborn series…missing?'


Make sure you only eat homemade pizza. Eating out is not only more expensive, you can never be quite sure what they put in it.

Brandon Sanderson / The Game of Stones
« on: January 07, 2009, 01:02:53 AM »
I am putting this here because Brandon is working on finishing the last book of the series... and because it's an awesome game.

Game of Stones is a (free) text based strategy game based around The Wheel of Time series. It is a game which only takes a few minutes a day to play. Go to the link below to register on the forums, the alpha test for V2 is almost done and the official V2 comes out on the 11th.

Brandon Sanderson / Re: What MB character are you and why?

I chose Vin because inside of my tough masculine exterior, I am a scrawny, paranoid girl.

Jakobus, the person being healed loses strength, the person doing the healing doesn't lose that much because on their side of it, the strength comes from the one power.

The biggest limitation I see of the healing thing is that contact is needed in order to heal, which might be difficult to maintain during a fight.

I always feel awkward posting in a topic when there is a few pages already dedicated to it because I know I probably missed something, but here are my two cents...

I really think this is no question, in a straight up fight, channeler > mistborn easily. What good is atium when you cant see the flows being used? Electum wouldn't be much use either, what I am talking about is using air.

As stated in earlier posts, there are certain weaves that require hand movements, correct me if I am wrong but I don't remember anything connecting hand movements and channeling air, so atium would be of no use. I believe that you could effectively "cocoon" a mistborn quickly and completely without them knowing what hit them. It is possible to suffocate using just air and by starting the "cocoon" far enough away from there body and bringing it in, I don't see how they could escape.

By using this "cocoon" method I don't think that electum would be of much use either because it shows direct effects to you, i.e. sword slash, coin being push etc, but how could it show that oxygen was going to be taken from you?

Also when the sun palace was attacked by the rouge Asha man in order to kill rand he threw up the shield that it states nothing short of balefire could penetrate, not even oxygen. Couldn't you instead turn put that around someone else, say a Mistborn, then sit there and watch them suffocate slowly?

I hope no one has said this yet, but for the lord ruler, could there be anyone better for the part than Rodrigo Santoro?

I went to three different stores here in town (Bellingham, WA) and none of them had copies. Had to end up ordering it from amazon so hopefully it gets here by the end of the week.

I wanted to add something to the compiled list. OreSeur mentions that kandra are of preservation. Also in an annotation EUOL says that we will learn more about kandra in the final book... Anyone have any thoughts on what OreSeur ment by saying kandra are of preservation?

From what I have seen, you do more than any other author that I have followed in terms of communicating with your fans before, during and after the writing process. What, if anything, can we look forward to you sharing with us while you work to complete this book? Also, will you be doing annotations of the chapters once you are done writing this book?
