Ashertliden Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 So there's a lot of WOB's. I was thinking there should be a place where people can put their favorite (funniest/most informative/coolest) Wob's they've found. Currently I'm a fan of: (spoilered for length) Spoiler Quote Sparkle Hearts Kelsier, does he like noodles? Brandon Sanderson Yes. And Quote Questioner When Nightblood created, was Endowment involved in any way more than normal? Brandon Sanderson Good question, you qualified that the right way! I would say yes, but maybe not to the extent you're thinking. Questioner Normal being using Endowment's Investiture to Awaken. There's something special. Brandon Sanderson I would say, there is something special. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borio Singaldi Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 (edited) This one made me laugh out loud. Especially listening to the recording. It's so sweet. Spoiler Questioner So in The Stormlight Archive series-- Brandon Sanderson The Stormlight Archive? How old are you? *laughter* How old are you? Questioner Nine. Brandon Sanderson Nine?! You're reading The Stormlight Archive? You are awesome! *cheers* Questioner So the character Lift, for her powers, why does she have to eat food instead of sucking in-- Brandon Sanderson So why does Lift have to eat food instead of sucking in Stormlight. So Lift is a really weird one, she visited the Old Magic and asked something very strange. And the Old Magic didn't know how to treat that and answered with something equally strange. So you will eventually see what happened with Lift and things like that but suffice it to say some really weird things are going on with Lift. source Edited October 1, 2018 by Firerust Formatting 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Spoiler Questioner I read online that you stated that Instabam's power was over mashed potatoes. Is that actually true in your mind, and if it is would you ever consider writing that story in the same vein that J.K. Rowling did Fantastic Beasts? As a comic relief-- Brandon Sanderson As a comic relief? I could totally see doing that. I just keep thinking that if people got to get superpowers, there have to be stupid ones, right? People've got-- They can't all be “I can fly”, some of them are "I can control mashed potatoes" or something like that... source Brandon, tell us more about this Epic with complete and frightening control over mashed potatoes. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archer Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 (edited) Here's another Reckoners WoB. I love this one for a couple of reasons. One of them is because it reads like a parent hinting to their kid to confess to something, but the kid's got attitude. Imagine Brandon as a six year-old boy when you read this: Spoiler Questioner You mentioned the other ruined cities... Are there any other cities that you were thinking of putting into the book, but ended up not? Brandon Sanderson Yeah, I had-- I brainstormed a few with the team. Cities I was thinking of-- Toronto we-- Toronto was the big one. Isaac Stewart What was the funny, weird thing about the city? Brandon Sanderson Um... I wanted to do a mushroom city, and I didn't do that. I dunno, I had a bunch of them that I bounced off of Isaac and Peter. This is the one we decided on just because the salt thing is so *unintelligible*, you know? Isaac Stewart Yeah, we did a lot of Canadian cities, is what we were thinking at first. Brandon Sanderson And then Random House came in and said, "Can it be an American city? Please?" I'm like, "Okay, but you'll have to fight off the Canucks." source *Brandon pulls out his Canuck action figures and the meeting ends in chaos* Edited October 2, 2018 by Archer 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrдVψLшR 0115 Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) Check out Isaac’s answer Spoiler Little Wilson Can you give us any hints about Vax's magic system? Brandon Sanderson No. Little Wilson *sighs* Okay. Brandon Sanderson Nope, nope, nope. Big RAFO. *interruption* Isaac Stewart It's a magic system based on RAFO. The more RAFO you get, the more Investiture you're able to bestow Here’s another one: Questioner [PENDING REVIEW] So, when Vin and Kelsier are running around spewing those coins everywhere. I assume that leaves coins all over the place. So, what happens to all that money? Are there conceivably skaa who could make a living? Brandon Sanderson [PENDING REVIEW] I got asked this in my writing group, way back when. Way, way back when. I got in alpha reads and beta reads too, people are like "They're just throwing money all over!" I'm like, "Yeah, it's a meaningless amount of money to them at that point, and is cheaper, in a lot of ways, than going and buying bits of metal, because of the way..." Anyway. The answer is, they just get left there. And there are skaa who have a very lucky day the next day. Because to them, that money isn't a throwaway amount. And you could conceivably do very well watching where Mistborn went, and following after them. I'm not sure if there are people who do that. But it would make for a nice story, so we can imagine that there is at least a few people who try to track where they are. I mean, the problem is, once you start into that effort, you start to get to the realm of people who that money is insignificant to again. So, like, no underworld crime lord is gonna track where Mistborn are to go gather the clips that they drop for jumping around. It just isn't worth their money. But one of the things you see in an economy like in the Final Empire is that the wealth disparity is such that, for some people, that could be worth their time.
