Title: Thank you Mr. Sanderson.
Post by: Midnight on June 03, 2009, 03:58:06 AM

Dear Mr. Sanderson,

I wanted to give you my heartfelt thanks for your great work, and for your work toward completing Robert Jordan's masterpiece-he couldn't have found a better author.

I drive a truck and listen to audiobooks and The Mistborn series was, without a doubt, one of the best audiobooks i've ever heard!  I have since bought them to give them a traditional read through, and you've been elevated to be one of my favorite authors. 

I have a personal and selfish request!  Get to know George r.r. Martin, so if he-God protect him-passes on with an unfinished masterpiece, you can step in and save us readers the heartache aswell. 

You sir, are a great man. 

Thank you!

Midnight.

Heh. Check out Brandon's latest video interview where he says he's not going to write in someone else's universe ever again.

Oh well, I imagine it's a daunting task, and probably pretty annoying too.  It's okay though, the Universes he conjures up are plenty good enough.

I bet he isn't!

I believe I mentioned in another thread that opening the universe to others is begging for bad sequels, because all the really good authors stick to their own.  Now we see why...

I just feel bad a little that Brandon has to shelve work he may never get back to. Though I shouldn't feel TOO sorry for him since this is still a great opportunity for him. From that recent interview I like the sound of the Epic Fantasy idea he wants to do, a world where magic is returning. Cause I agree there are alot, ALOT of fantasy stories having magic dying out.
