Google+ Hangout with Brandon, & Updates
Apr 17 2012 07:03 PM | Chaos in Brandon and Book News
In about an hour, Brandon is going to be doing a Google+ Hangout in Sydney, Australia. For those of you who don't know, it's a group video chat thing for Google's social network, Google+. While we are pretty certain that the people who would join Brandon in the Hangout have already been chosen, however, this will be a "Hangout on Air", which means we all get to listen to people chat and ask questions to Brandon!It begins at 10:50 Eastern time, or 7:50 Pacific. To join, apparently you will need to be following Google Australia, as that's where the Hangout will appear.
In other news, we last discussed The Emperor's Soul, the new Cosmere novella coming out late this year? Yeah, yesterday it became known that this book actually takes place on the planet Sel, the world of Elantris. It doesn't share any of the same characters (which astute readers will note that this means that this is not the Elantris sequel), but it does kind of make sense. China is the one culture we haven't seen in Sel yet, after all.
Lastly, 17th Shard now has an IRC channel (a chat room). We will get an interface on the main site soon, but in the meantime, you can go to webchat.freenode.net, in the channel #cosmere.
Happy Hanging out!
EDIT: The nice thing about Hangouts on Air is that they auto-post to YouTube, so here's the video file:
Some of it was already known, but there were two cosmere questions which were awesome. First, more sentient spren exist. Secondly, Honor was Splintered.

Thanks for the info, though!
(sorry for double post)
I'll be noting which questions will be asked, but we will wait till the Youtube one. Windrunner, get in the IRC channel so we can coordinate our note-taking.
Sorry, I'm still trying get all the excitement out so I can sleep tonight.
Did he really say that? I missed it! Do you know at what point in the interview he said it? It's odd because Hoid comes from there. Maybe he considers the cosmere pre and post Shattering to be different universes? Liar is the earliest known cosmere book at this time, and we don't know where the main Dragonsteel sequence falls yet. Thanks for telling us!
It's at about 30:30, where he discusses the reasons he started the cosmere. The way he phrases it makes it seem like the events of Liar happened in the original universe, and those events spawned the cosmere we now know.
SPACE!!!!
@Sir Read-a-lot, that didn't seem too surprising to me. We kind of figured that Hoid was in Dragonsteel, and from the Alloy of Law release, we knew Hoid was going to have a big part in the third Mistborn trilogy.
