Pagerunner Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 On Saturday, 1:00 MST (3:00 EST). We'll need to wait on details; not sure if this is promoting anything in particular, yet. But start dusting off your question lists, in case good cosmere questions are legal. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pagerunner Posted January 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 Here's the full description of the event: Quote In order to get the Way of Kings leatherbound ready for our Kickstarter this summer, I need to sign thousands upon thousands of copies of the first signature. (A “signature” in this context means a group of pages of the book that will eventually be trimmed and bound together. You’ll see what they look like if you stop by and watch.) To “celebrate” this (more to keep me from getting too bored) we’re going to be livestreaming it for a few hours, and I’ll be chatting with those who drop by and answering their questions. Adam will be watching the comments and reading out to me the best questions for me to answer. I’m hoping this will be a casual and laid-back event, with me chatting about various things you all want to hear about. We’ll probably be more likely to answer questions that launch me into a story about my life or the writing of a specific book or the like, and less focused on detailed lore questions, just because of the nature of the experience. (Adam will try to filter out spoiler questions and avoid them, or ask them in a way that doesn’t spoil too much. So if you haven’t finished one of the books, you should be safe watching, but the comments themselves might not be safe.) So drop by, say hello, and hang out for a little while! So, not heavy lore questions. (Although, if they run out of boring life story questions, you never know...) I plan on asking what Brandon thinks the Cosmere experience would have looked like if he had successfully written Dragonsteel before starting on Stormlight. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pagerunner Posted January 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Audio is up for transcription: https://wob.coppermind.net/events/409-youtube-livestream/ For those who missed it, the video is up on Brandon's Facebook page; Arcanum only has the audio. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagerunner Posted January 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) Oh boy, there was a second livestream on Monday. Both it and the first session are available on Brandon's YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/brandsanderson And, at the end, Brandon said he's planning another livestream for either Friday or Saturday. If anyone's looking to get questions in, it looks like there's typically a Facebook post, a Twitter post, and an Instagram post, and sometimes questions are taken from the live chat, as well, so those are all potential avenues to get your question in. I'd recommend picking your favorite social media platform and check every half an hour or so, to try to get one of the first responses. There is an Arcanum event for this livestream, as well: https://wob.coppermind.net/events/410-youtube-livestream-2/. The audio is still being processed, but there is still a good bit from the first livestream to transcribe, for those who are looking to do some work over the weekend. I did manage to get a question in this time, one that's been on my mind for a while: "Let's use a time machine and change the past. Let's say you aren't asked to finish WoT, and instead fix and publish Liar of Partinel. How do you think the Cosmere fan experience would have been different if mysteries like Hoid and the Shattering had been explored earlier?" Brandon gave a nice thorough answer that addressed a couple of fronts. Even in that scenario, he may have not written all the way up to the Shattering, but taken a break from Dragonsteel to do another series. He may have shrunk Stormlight to be more Taln-focused, with much of the Bridge Four and Kaladin-like plotlines falling to Dragonsteel's main non-Hoid character. And, even if he wrote the whole of Dragonsteel, it may not have affected our experience of Stormlight much beyond us knowing the personalities and motivations of Hoid and the three Shards a little bit better. So, all in all, a fascinating look into some of the early Cosmere plans, which is always something I always find interesting. EDIT: 1:00 MST on Saturday.

Pagerunner Posted February 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 Third livestream is up for transcription on Arcanum. https://wob.coppermind.net/events/411-youtube-livestream-3/ Brandon mentioned that these may be a regular event, as he continues to sign these pages for upcoming leatherbound rereleases. One may be coming this month. He's also mentioned the possibility of spoiler streams for different series, but a Stormlight one wouldn't be until after November. Maybe we can hope for a Mistborn one? Or just cosmere-specific. Regardless, Brandon's social media will be the first place to find out about these, so make sure you're following him somewhere. (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or maybe even on YouTube itself; he's got links to all of them on his website.) These livestreams may become the new normal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got a few good gems sprinkled throughout, but I'm not sure if it's what you're looking for. Sanderson has increased hope that The Apocalypse Guard will work and plans on dedicating some time to it after finishing all the revisions on Stormlight 4; to stay on schedule for said Stormlight book, Sanderson needs to finish Draft 3.0 by this week and move straight into Draft 4.0. The Way of Kings Leatherbound will be about $200 for the base book. Sanderson is very much hoping to NOT have to write all the screenplays for his books. Lastly, the audio-exclusive novella The Original he worked on with Mary Robinette Kowall should come out in the next month or so. Brandon's REALLY excited about it. This stream was pretty Cosmere-light it terms of content by design. But Adolin apparently would prefer onion rings over French fries if given the choice! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Original and The Apocalypse Guard are not Cosmere. The Original is a sci-fi story about clones being created to hunt criminals. If they succeed, the clones can then take over the original's life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
