KaladinWorldsinger Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 I mean, is there any particular reason for Brandon Sanderson having such a dedicated and awesome forum? I mean it is so good, i have never seen anything close to it for other fandoms. Does Harry potter or LoTR have a forum like this?(Showing my complete ignorance I am guessing) I think I have visited coppermind forums more times this last year than Google. I love this site so much, I wish other franchises had things like these. The Coppermind forums have by itself kept the cosmere in my brain when I had no new cosmere book. It even persuaded me to read his non cosmere works, something i probably never would have done( as I don't read books i know nothing about) What are some of the best forums you guys have seen? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormingTexan Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 Besides the awesome and dedicated staff one thing I think Brandon's fandom benefits from is how much interaction he has with fans. Half the stuff discussed here and what is in the Coppermind comes from Words of Brandon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the Shard we keep getting new hints and tidbits constantly because Sanderson is amazing that way. So we always have stuff to talk about! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Sedai Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 Agree! The Coppermind is amazing, and I've actually never seen a nicer or friendlier space on the internet than our forums. Thank you mods 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AonEne Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 Glad to know you're liking the forums and the Coppermind! I'm not Coppermind staff personally, but many of the other mods here are, and I think their secret is...working insanely hard. Like, maybe some of them should sleep more. (I say, hypocritically, up at 2am...) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justice magician Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 I think the zelda fandom has some forums on ZeldaDungeon, but I haven't explored it very much and I have no idea if its very active 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquaRegia Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 I think one piece of the puzzle might be that because Brandon writes books that celebrate ideas like true friendship, diversity, and inclusion, he naturally attracts an audience that treasures those values as well. So of course we have a friendly, diverse, and inclusive fan base. (Is my amazingly awesome modesty showing? ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LilyBlossom9876 Posted January 29, 2023 Report Share Posted January 29, 2023 Part of what I love about the Cosmere is the community- it's inclusive, supportive, welcoming, educating... It's very much about finding the truth together and studying science together, and I love that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
