Stormgate Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 You know you are a Sanderfan when the answer to the following sentence can make your heartbeat go up: When is Sanderson doing another AMA on the 17th Shard? (I don't know the answer. If anyone does, post it here. If nobody does, continue as normal.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king of nowhere Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 You are definitely a Sanderfan when you sit down with your translated copy of Words Of Radiance and you get to codebreaking the Diagram. And when you start to suspect that at some point the translator messed up. If I got the word "Radiants", then I suppose I am doing it right. But then the rest doesn't match up. If you read sanderson books in any language different from the one it was written in you are not a sanderfan enough . How can you allow a translator to put himself between you and the word of sanderson? Just be glad he's not writing in inuit language or somesuch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you allow a translator to put himself between you and the word of sanderson? Just be glad he's not writing in inuit language or somesuch. Well, I prefer my books analog, not digital. And it's infinitely easier to get them on paper in my own language than shipping them from U.S.A or such. I once wanted to buy some comic books from USA and the cost of shipping was highstorming high. So I stick to local shops. Not to mention the language issues - I probably could read them in English, but checking a word now and then would be irritating. Another thing is that I'm not the only reader in my house - my mother also reads Sanderson and it would be impossible for her to read them in English. P.S. And we have the best Mistborn covers Edited January 14, 2016 by Oversleep 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haradion Drogon Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Ahah!It looks Cool NOW.But give it time...The Publishers will tweak something on the next cycle... or the one after that. Then cease publishing in that format all together.Trust me,I've seen it before.(Time Riders. They started putting NUMBERS on the Spine on the FOURTH BOOK OF NINE! For Shards Sake...) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oversleep Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) We have one publishing company infamous for that sort of thing. But not that one. Word is that the illustrator will be making all the Mistborn books.So at least the first six are secured, probably Lost Metal too. Who knows what future will bring? But right now they're on Sanderson publishing spree - we're getting a book every two months this year (AoL comes out this week, SoS, BoM, Elantris, Emperors Soul and the plan was for Oathbringer in autumn, but... I hope for Warbreaker.) Edited January 16, 2016 by Oversleep 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormgate Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 You know you're a Sanderfan when you see the image made by the covers above and your first thought is that those buildings may hold a clue about the Cosmere, or at least Scadrial. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's enough of a reason to forgive the sin of putting an intermediary between you and the word of sanderson. Well, I hope at least they are translated better than the italian ones, because the italian ones sound pretty bad. There is really no way to translate all the terms sanderson uses for his power and mythology thhat would not sound stupid in italian. Or maybe there is, but the translator missed it and I can't figure one out. I know because I have a friend reading sanderson in italian. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oversleep Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) Oh wow, those are nice. You mentioned Shadows of Self hadn't been published in Poland yet? That's right. Three days ago we had a renewal of Alloy Of Law as part of big series of Cosmere books run. AoL was published few years ago, but since The Way of Kings we have sort of Sanderson boom and starting with the first book of Mistborn in the June we get a book every two months (more or less): June,WoA in August, HoA in October, AoL three days ago, Shadows are scheduled for 2th of March, Bands for 27th of April; probably: Elantris in July, Emperor's Soul in September... and once the plan was for Oathbringer in December or something around that, but I personally think they're gonna fill the space with Warbreaker. Every book but SoS, BoM and Oatbringer (obviously) was published already, but since then the rest was unobtainable. Thanks to the rerun the fanbase is growing and thanks to the 17thShard I happen to be "the guy who knows (almost) everything" . In fact, I am part of the staff of the Polish fanbase site. Hence my topic where I asked for help with some quotes, we contacted the publisher to get them straight (the Diagram code was incorrect in many places and they mistranslated Hoid's "perfect pitch" and translating convention is weird about "Investiture". They call it "Infusing". I fear it's too late to change it to "Investiture"). By the way, could somebody point me to some Three Realms and Realmatic Theory information source? Coppermind is rather tight-lipped on the subject. I am writing an infodump article P.S. I got covers for SoS and Bom, anybody interested?

I like those covers, actually (Speaking as an American with the generic action scenes gracing his Mistborn covers). Minimalist and evocative, like those "adult covers" one puts on Harry Potter so one doesn't get embarrassed reading them on public transit, especially that Final Empire one. Although I will admit they could have displayed a bit more imagination than "Let's zoom in on Vin's face one notch every installment!" (I like the ones the UK covers they cooked up for Wax and Wayne for that reason: AoL and SoS have this keyhole motif going on, which I really like) Edited January 16, 2016 by Landis963 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
