Delightful Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) Sanderfans are so awesome that they made a thread about Brandon that won the internet forever. Edit: also this Brandon sanderson is so thorough in his research, he tried to experience kaladin's exhaustion in carrying the bridge by running around for hours with a backpack full of stones. unfortunately, it didn't work for him: he found out he could rest from running around with stones by simply running around with different stones, so he never got tired. is beyond epic.

RawToast225 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Brandon Sanderson has never failed his city. Lol Brandon Sanderson created the hellish island Oliver Queen was stranded on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOneKEA Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Brandon Sanderson got bored one day and started doodling on a crumpled napkin with a mostly-dry pen. The resulting novella won three awards and spawned a subreddit and two new sub forums on the 17th Shard. Brandon Sanderson knows where Waldo is. Not because Waldo told him but because Brandon wrote down where he wanted Waldo to be, and Waldo was there. Brandon Sanderson got bored one night and scribbled a stick figure onto a rough piece of cardboard with a blunt crayon. The resulting MtG card became more valuable than the Black Lotus and had to be banned in tournament play because it was so awesome that opponents kept conceding after it was played. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post king of nowhere Posted January 16, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 once a mafia boss tried to blackmail sanderson for protection money. their dialogue went like that. "if you don't pay us a percentage of your profit, you may fall victim of some accident" "if I have some accident, I won't be able to write hoid backstory" Then the mafia boss sent two thugs to sanderson. to be his bodyguards until all the cosmere books are done. He also gave his raket-extorted money to a charity so that he could give his name to a minor character in a book. 28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shadow Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Brandon Sanderson had writers block once. It was the worst ten seconds of his life. It literally laughed outloud at this. FOr longer than I care to admit. Contrary to popular belief, the SanderBots do not exist. In fact, Brandon sold his soul to the Devil in exchange for his writing abilities. However, Brandon first bequeathed his soul to someone else first. The Devil is too busy begging for Stones Unhollowed to notice. God has since subcontracted the universe to Brandon. Everything that happens to you happens because Brandon wrote it. One day, he will write the ultimate crossover and you will make a cameo appearance. On day, Brandon will die, but he will be resurrect, because no one else can write the biographies and biopics about him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Fatebreaker Posted January 20, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Once Brandon decided to write a story about chairs. However, it didn't meet his standards, so he gave it to his friend George to play with. And thus the Game of Thrones was born. 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khyrindor Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Likewise, Brandon wrote a story about school debt and gave it to his friend Pat. Things were added and edited and edited and The Kingkiller Chronicles was born. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shadow Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Brandon learned math from the same guy who taught Douglas Adams, and that's why he still calls the Wax & Wayne books a trilogy. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curiosity Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Brandon learned math from the same guy who taught Douglas Adams, and that's why he still calls the Wax & Wayne books a trilogy. Nah, Brandon wrote Wayne so realistically that Wayne convinced him that four books makes a trilogy. (Is a pickle minus two two? Or is it a hat?) 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Zas678 Posted January 21, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 The fandom and Brandon Sanderson are so awesome that in about 7 years, they've had about 700 different interviews or Q&A s with him, with about 11 questions per interview. That's about 7500 Q&As with him. Let's assume that each question and answer takes about 75 words each. That means that Brandon Sanderson, in RECORDED interactions with fans, has at least 1,125,000 words. That's right. Brandon Sanderson is so awesome that he's done more with fans than WoK, WoR, Final Empire, and Alloy of Law COMBINED. With a couple of short stories to spare. 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, Brandon first bequeathed his soul to someone else first. The Devil is too busy begging for Stones Unhollowed to notice.. No, what really happened was, Brandon sold his soul to the Devil in exchange for his writing abilities, then wrote the Final Empire and the Well of Ascension. After reading them, the devil offered Brandon his soul back, on the condition that he get a cameo in Hero of Ages. We now know that character as Ruin.

Kipper Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Brandon Sanderson once sold his soul to the devil in exchange for his rugged good looks, sense of humor, and unparalleled writing skills. After this, Brandon used those new skills to convince the devil to give him his soul back through a letter that was alternately comical and tear-jerking. The devil and Brandon now play Magic: The Gathering together every Tuesday evening. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kipper Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 After coming up with the magic system, Brandon Sanderson wrote the entire text of Warbreaker in Microsoft Paint, just for the challenge. When you Google "best fantasy books", Google says, "did you mean: books by Brandon Sanderson?" 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king of nowhere Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 what is written about him in the cover of alcatraz is true; brandon doesn't write his books, he has his potted plant writing them for him. All he did was take his perfectly normal potted plant and teach it to write. hardly an achievement worth noting, don't you think? 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lord Pifferdoo Posted February 6, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Brandon Sanderson once asked his dog, "Who's a good boy?" The dog replied, "RAFO" 31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobold King Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Brandon Sanderson once asked his dog, "Who's a good boy?" The dog replied, "RAFO" The dog speaks because it's secretly a kandra. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirce Luckwielder Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 When the NSA tries to spy on Sanderson, all they find is RAFO cards. Brandon Sanderson secretly holds the Shard of Devotion. His books are tests of strength to find worthy 17th Sharders to invest. Brandon only dictates his books in High Imperial. Brandon once got cut off in traffic and wrote an instant bestseller. In his yearbook, people didn't look at pictures, they just read the spreads that he wrote. The seventh seal talked about in the Book of Revelation is Dragonsteel. Brandon can't wear a Mistcloak because if he turns too fast the billow causes a highstorm. If/when he sleeps, his snores play out Requiem for a Tower. Brandon's real job is solving world hunger and finding s renewable energy source. He just writes novels in his spare time as one of his "minor hobbies." The atomic bombs weren't actually made with Plutonium and Uranium, they were just some books that Brandon decided the world wasn't ready for. Brandon once sent a worldbuilding outline back into time. We know of it today as the U.S. Constitution. Brandon is not allowed within 25 miles of kings, presidents, and ministers because they get mad from the attention he draws. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinxer Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Steel didn't actually exist before Brandon wrote Steelheart. We just haven't noticed because the moment he finished it, steel immediately had already been. Brandon previously did science (just science in general) for a living, but he was too successful at everything, so he turned to writing so other scientists could be employed. Brandon gains half his energy from Sanderfan curiosity, hence RAFO. The other half is cold fusion. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ynax Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) Brandon Sanderson writes in third-person because otherwise he would get distracted and write about his own awesome life. When Brandon Sanderson publishes a book his fans get back pains when they carry it home. When Brandon Sanderson publishes a book the world stops for a day.

kinxer Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Brandon Sanderson writes in third-person because otherwise he would get distracted and write about his own awesome life. When Brandon becomes distracted, he writes more to get himself back on task. Sanderfans are so dedicated to discovering the secrets in the Cosmere that Brandon sometimes has to clarify that the one thing he can't remember saying doesn't actually contradict that other thing he sort of remembers saying. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese United Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Brandon once ate a pizza. That's enough to to make him awesome in my book. But... For the scene when Kaladin first discovers Stormlight inhalation ,Brandon did his research by binding an author spren and swearing the oath: I will write what makes others fall. I will hold the Sanderson's laws above all else. I will kill off your favorite characters, and you will love it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
