azith28 Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Hello all, I'm new to the forum, have been lurking since I read elantris after hearing about this guy taking over the wheel of time. Today I am of the opinion that we need to clone Brandon multiple times so we get several books a year out of him. Sure it might be unethical or morally questionable but I'm sure most of the fans on this board will agree that its worth the cost to have more quality books to read. Clone 1 can work on the Alloy of Law series. Clone 2 can work on Second Mistborn trillogy Clone 3 can work on Stormlight archive Clone 4 can work on Warbreaker series Clone 5 can work on Wheel of time post 'A memory of light' books Clone 6 can work on Elantris series. Original Brandon will be allowed to sleep for two weeks straight as a reward for all the tissue samples we took to create the clones, then will be locked in a room to finish "A memory of light" and come up with more new worlds, and occasionally spawn more clones. Each Clone must produce 1 book a year!
Joe ST he/him Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Hey there azith, nice to meet you... interesting idea, though it's a little greedy don't you think? and anyway, if we could clone, I bet we could 'resurrect' the dead, so we could get back Robert Jordan, Tolkien, Shakespeare etc..
azith28 Posted November 15, 2011 Author Posted November 15, 2011 Brandon first tho. The others can wait. 1

Shivertongue he/him Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 The problem with cloning is you can only make a younger copy. And that clone would have to be raised exactly as Brandon was raised, with the exact same influences, otherwise there is no guarantee that Brandon Sanderclone would have the same ideas, the same motivation, or even an interest in writing that the original does. Furthermore, if all six clones were writing Brandon books, then Brandon would no longer be unique. So the idea is inherently flawed in several ways. Also, welcome!
CrazyRioter she/her Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 (edited) clearly we need to invent a way to copy people's memories, then we could make a copy of all Brandon's memories and download them into the clones. Edited November 16, 2011 by CrazyRioter

Catalyst21 he/him Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 I'm Darius, and I support this technology. @Peter: what do you think of this idea? you'd get to work for Brandon AND his six deadly clones...... lol

azith28 Posted November 16, 2011 Author Posted November 16, 2011 Brings to mind the movie "Multiplicity"... Well we can give the Azkaban series to the copy of the copy clone. 1
