Popular Post Oversleep Posted March 21, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) So, as some of you know, I said that Brandon accidentially revealed the end of Stormlight and cosmere to me and the rest of the Polish fansite crew when we were interviewing him. That's not true. I repeat, no such thing happened. Neither end of Stormlight nor end of cosmere is known. Why did I do this? See, when we finished interview and were getting out our books to be signed, I asked whether we could record the signing line the next day. I mentioned that 17thShard would love to have it (the recording). At that point Brandon lightened up and said "Oh, those guys? Tell them I told you how Stormlight ends... no, how the whole cosmere ends!" *devilish grin* I'd been more than happy to oblige. But as one Sharder pointed out to me, this can go too out of hand. I was already PMing Sharders who got too hooked on that thing to calm things down but I decided I will debunk the whole thing now instead of next week. If anyone is mad at me for this, I'm sorry. But when Brandon Sanderson asks you to troll people, how could you refuse? tl;dr: I was trolling at Brandon's request.

Kanrei Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) I knew you were too cool (and the rest of crew) for that to be true so I didnt even try to ask about that (plus assumed if that was true, it was like one single word from very end ) You dont get to know most important piece of information for Cosmere and Stormlight fans and just look next day like nothing happened But I guess thats advantage of actually meeting you in real Anyway, great prank at Brandon part, to use respected 17thSharder as double agent. Now we know that no one can be trusted " for anything not set in metal cannot be trusted " Edited March 21, 2017 by Kanrei 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This needs to be a thing. We should probably start actually writing down the books in steel just to be safe as well.

Weltall Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) Are we absolutely certain Brandon isn't really Hoid's avatar in our universe, here to troll us for his own amusement? That was a work of evil genius! And I'm with everyone else, I'm going to start bringing aluminum foil to etch WoBs into starting with the next signing, just in case.

Stark Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 In other news along the same vein, Brandon has announced a new partnership with Stephanie Meyer, to help groom her to take over the Cosmere should he be unable to complete it. Their first collaboration will be a cross over novella featuring a double date between their iconic couples involving an ageless immortal romantically involved with a much younger mortal woman. Look out for the epic meeting of Siri, Susebron, Bella and Edward next spring. Also please be careful not to confuse the romantic comedy "10 Shades of Stormlight" featuring Amaram with the survival/horror/romance "50 Shades of Threnody". One of those is a spin off written by neither of the Authors. In other news, I completely fell for that troll, and was contemplating avoiding the forums like the plague for the next 20 or so years. Thanks for that. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the knots we're tying ourselves in over that, a single word would just be salt in the wound because you know he'd say it's 'the'..

Is 50 Shades by the same author who wrote Sixth of Twilight and Bands of [CENSORED]? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stark Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 2 hours ago, Weltall said: Is 50 Shades by the same author who wrote Sixth of Twilight and Bands of [CENSORED]? Sadly yes. Which is why we will sadly never get to see the "Survivor of Hathsin and the Chamber of Secrets" published. However, I did hear a rumor that if you ask nicely, team Sanderson may send you the prose version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oversleep Posted March 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) Now that it's been revealed I was Commanded to "troll people as if you were me" I can say that Brandon is developing a new skill. Trolling by proxy! I told Brandon how the Shard reacted. He laughed. He told me to tell you something about the end of cosmere - in his own words: "It's good". So, that's it. No troll here this time.

Weltall Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 @Oversleep But does that mean the cosmere will end and cease to exist at some point? Is it good that it should end? Does he instead mean that the stories will end but the cosmere will go on? And if so, is the ending 'good'? And what is 'good', why not 'awesome'? So much hinges on his ambiguity!

Or she will be and Sanderson is trying to hide that fact? damnation 3 words and so many possibilities Quote For the next signing we'll have to do the recording by Direct Metal Mastering, with trusty copper. @Extesian It would be hilarious to come to some signing with something like that Edited March 22, 2017 by Kanrei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattern Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Do we really want there to be an end? Actually, I am glad nothing was spoiled and sent to ferment out there Now lets see, Aluminum to etch WoBs, thats shooting birds with cannons...but...aluminum foil hats to become immune to soothing...that could be a thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oversleep Posted March 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Actually there's a very recent, yet unprocessed WoB that after the end of cosmere he will probably write in-between. Another WoB is that he will stop writing when they find him dead in his room, with his head on the keyboard spelling 5 milion "eeeeee". So I think we're good for a lot of time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it work? I mean tinfoil hat preventing from soothing/rioting? Because thats another hilarious thing to take with to signing with Sanderson. I think I remember some WoB about it but Im not sure.
