Kelwynish Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 (edited) Sorry to berate you with silly questions but I'm a curious guy Does anyone know if Brandon has an account here? Edited May 6, 2020 by Kelwynish Clarity 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 @Brandon Sanderson does, but hasn't used it in a while. He prefers Reddit, where he posts as u/Mistborn. Or Twitter, but I can't remember his handle there. @PeterAhlstrom, his editor, sometimes pops by, but that's extremely rare. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mestiv Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 I'll move this thread and some other that you made to the https://www.17thshard.com/forum/forum/26-general-brandon-discussion/ General Brandon Discussion board, as the 17th Shard Discussion is dedicated more to talking about the forum itself and its mechanics, rather than Brandon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weltall Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 As mentioned, he has an account but very rarely uses it; his last time logged in was over four years ago. 2 hours ago, Archer said: Or Twitter, but I can't remember his handle there.

Frustration Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 He probably has an account that isn't obviously him to discreetly see what we're doing, or just gets on with no account I seriously doubt that he never checks here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Doomstick Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 *gasp* what if he has participated in some of the more prominent forum games? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NameIess Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 He wouldn't go on to the theory forums, so if someone has posted on there they're not Brandon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truthless of Shinovar Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 He’s probably reading this right now laughing at our guesses 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While this is fun to think about, I highly doubt it. It’s a fairly common practice among authors to avoid fan sites for fear of absorbing stuff subconsciously and then incorporating it into their work, which could lead to trouble, or so that they don’t read a ton of unorganized criticism so they can keep on track. Not everyone is going to be like that, but I’m pretty sure Brandon’s confirmed that he doesn’t often if ever browse the Shard, and he wouldn’t lie about it. Besides that, excluding entertainment, there’s not really any reason for him to do so. Checking the Coppermind I could maybe see - though checking his internal wiki would be more likely - but the forums? Nah. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shard of Reading Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 I'm imaging Brandon browsing this site (with popcorn) when he can't find a movie and laughing at our theories so hard he's crying. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
