Visual distinction between Cosmere and non-Cosmere works + title uniformity (Coppermind:Welcome)


Recommended Posts

Posted

Would it be possible to put a visual distinction (maybe a line or a larger space or something like that) between the Cosmere and non-Cosmere works on the Welcome page?

In the same section the books' or series' titles are kind of non-uniform. For example some are using the full title (like The Emperor's Soul or Sixth Of The Dusk) while others are abbreviated (like Tress (Tress Of The Emerald Sea) or Stormlight Archive (The Stormlight Archive))

This would be easier if Brandon just made the Frugalverse but I understand his reluctance to go full multiverse with his alt Earth properties 

I don’t think he’s going to canonize a universe for a single book. The Cosmere obviously has a lot is books. The Cytoverse has a series, a short story and a planned sequel series. The Reckoners multiverse has a series, a short story, a novella and a shelved novel. Frugal is just one book. 
Also, how would that help make the coppermind easier?

Also, if there are more Frugal Wizard books, they are likely to be by other authors (especially Dan Wells, maybe others). References:

The fake author of the book, Cecil G. Bagsworth III, is a character that has shown up before in books I’ve written. (He’s the in-world editor of the Alcatraz series.) He’s shared by me and my friend Dan Wells, as we dreamed him up back in college: an interdimensional adventurer and writer. Like Indiana Jones if he worked in publishing instead of archaeology.

It sounds like it [Secret Project Two] has incredible potential for a series; has that been in your head at all? Or is this a one-shot?

Brandon Sanderson

Oh, yeah. I am not going to turn this into a series, myself. But I brainstormed a lot of the ideas for this with Dan Wells, and so I can absolutely see Dan writing... And the fictional author of the Handbook itself, the in-world book, is a character that Dan and I have both used in our books. This guy, Cecil G. Bagsworth III, interdimensional explorer. He's the author of The Frugal Wizard's Handbook; he's actually a shared character of Dan and mine. If people like this book, I would expect that Dan'll want to take a crack at doing some other Frugal Wizard-adjacent story.

The Frugalverse (which we already have a page for: https://coppermind.net/wiki/Frugal_Wizard_Multiverse) would subsume the Cytoverse, Alcatraz, Reckoners, maybe Rithmatist, etc as being either higher or lower on the "stream". That's how it would make it easier.

Not sure how that would change anything? I assume the potential non Brandon cosmere novels would be covered here just as detailed as the Brandon ones.

I'm not saying it does change anything. I am merely pointing out information that should likely be part of the discussion. Connectivity WoB:

"Medical nanites" are mentioned. Does Secret Project Two take place in the same continuity as The Original?

Brandon Sanderson

I do not have it in the same continuity right now. Now, whether The Original happens on a dimension that's analogous, then you start getting into, "Well, anything could be connected once you're going to interdimensional travel and things." I would say that the only conscious thing that I'm doing to connect to anything else I've written is using Cecil's name, and even that's a little tongue-in-cheek.

Peter Ahlstrom

Could this be connected to Apocalypse Guard?

Brandon Sanderson

I am doing another book series that has interdimensional stuff. There's a decent chance that when I revise Apocalypse Guard I will be like "You know what, I should only have one interdimensional travel series," and I might intentionally connect those. But for right now, the only intentional connection I have made is using Cecil's name. And saying it's the same personality, the same Cecil.
