Elithanathile Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) This is just a thought I had. It makes sense that Brandon would have an account on the forums that doesn't show him as Brandon, so he can quietly post without being mobbed by questions. so I was thinking about who it might be, and my first and strongest thought is... Kobold King! He has so many upvotes, his rank is above adonalsium. It all fits! Leave your thoughts. And random ideas. And any related jokes/puns you might have.

Mailliw73 Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 KOBOLD!! You've been writing fanfiction RP about your own books? I don't know what to think. Now I expect a cosmere book about gazelles. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kobold King Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Dragonsteel Entertainment can neither confirm nor deny the validity of the thoughts, speculations, and opinions expressed in this thread. But as much as this thread amuses me, for legal and ethical reasons I should state here that I am not in fact Brandon Sanderson in disguise. I have never even met the man, and I can guarantee you that our beloved Bandersnatch would post far more quality content than I ever will. Sorry TwiLyght. If it helps, I'm sure the REAL Brandon Sanderson would adore your work as much as I do. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he hated it so much he created a brand-new world and peopled it with characters who had built a religion subtly mocking my work, I'd just be thrilled that he'd read it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comatose Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Wouldn't being the person with the highest rep-count on the boards kind of defeat the whole point of the whole under-cover thing? Besides, with Brandon's schedule, there's no way he could maintain Kobold's post count and still put out 2 books a year. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elithanathile Posted May 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Your first point is probably correct. It explains the high rep-count, but he would probably lay low for a while. As for the second of your points? May I direct you to http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/22472-brandon-sanderson-facts/ 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why, Brandon would have to be some kind of crazy robot who accidently writes sequels to the books he's currently writing to be as active as Kobold and still produce books. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm imagining Brandon siting at a one computer typing a book, and he has a set of robot arms for making posts as Kobold. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't mention how the Reckoners books have been part of the Cosmere all along! ...which, uh, isn't true. And I'm not Brandon Sanderson. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lightsworn Panda Posted May 5, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) Wait! "Kobold King" has 10 letters in it. "Brandon Sanderson" has 16 letters in it! The date of this year is 2015! Add 10 to 2015 and you get 2025, which is the square of 45! Take 16 away from 45 and add 10 and you get 39, which is the age Brandon is this year! Illuminati Confirmed!

Edgedancer Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) You're forgeting something, if he's lying about being him, he could also lie about his gender. That is right, Kobold King is actually Brandon's wife and Twi is the real Brandon. That is of course also the reason why they are letting Kobold have more upvotes and that they rarely get involved with theories to not give away spoilers. Don't you see how much sense it all makes.
