little wilson she/her Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 I might be able to. I'm not certain, because I've got family coming into town around then, but we'll see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zas678 he/him Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 I'll be there! And possibly in costume. It should look awesome. And I went to something similar to this about 2 years ago- there was a pretty big turnout for all of the authors, so there should be a good number total there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mail-mi he/him Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 I'll be there! I've got loads of questions to ask him--most revolving around the Reod Elantrians. They interest me a lot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawToast225 he/him Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) I'm going. Nothing in the 'verse or the Cosmere could stop me! Edited November 26, 2014 by Marvin the Paranoid Androi 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They interest me a lot. Ooooh, would you mind sharing your list. Also minor nit-pick but "Reod Elantrian" is not actually a canon term, the Reod was a singular event not an affliction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also minor nit-pick but "Reod Elantrian" is not actually a canon term, the Reod was a singular event not an affliction. Yep. Can you spike Elantrian-ness? Can you spike Elantrian-ness out of a Reod Elantrian? Can Reod Elantrians be felt by BioChromatic Lifesense? What would a Shardblade do to a Reod Elantrian? Can emotional allomancy affect them? How easy is it to pull metal through their bodies? I know, but it's easier to say "Reod Elantrian" than it is to say "Zombie Elantrians after the Reod happened but before a certain spoiler-y event" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean the shades? If you do, I actually haven't read sfsitfoh, (it's the only published thing of his I haven't read, actually...) so I probably won't ask that. Sorry!

Newan he/him Posted December 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Here are the questions I am going to ask him: Is the worldhopping kandra MeLaan? Is the worldhopping kandra disguised as a human woman? I think I could ask one more without being annoying. Any requests? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurkistan he/him Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Another kandra-worldhopper-related question might be "has the kandra worldhopper ever spoken a line of dialogue in a book not set on Scadrial?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zas678 he/him Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 If anyone's looking for me, I *should* be wearing a Szeth shirt (if I can find it), and will probably be close to Brandon with a recorder. I'm excited! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argent he/him Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I would be interested in finding out whether Roshar was inhabited before the arrival of The Three, and if so - whether we've seen (the descendents of) those inhabitants in the published books. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamma Fiend he/him Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 How much of Hoid would a Kandra have to eat to be able to replicate him?What would happen if we smashed Shards together in a Large Hadron Collider? (Or just large amounts of Investiture, I suppose) ((Maybe even Spren? O.o) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurkistan he/him Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 How much of Hoid would a Kandra have to eat to be able to replicate him? Most all of him, though perhaps none of him if the kandra could get his hands on a duplicate set of bones/fake-bones. From this WoB it seems that there might not be any need to actually have eaten a person to mimic them, so long as you have other means to know/duplicate their appearance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mail-mi he/him Posted December 6, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) AAAAAHHHH that was amazing. He got a picture of me in my shirt! Here are my questions and his answers: mail-mi: So I have a lot of questions. Brandon: Okay. M: Could you spike Elantrian-ness? Like, could you Hemalurgically spike Elantrian-ness? B: Theoretically, yes. M: Could you out of a Reod Elantrian? The zombie ones? B: Um, yes you could. M: You could? B: So what you would be spiking there is their connection to...to the planet, first. That's gonna be the big important thing. So you're going to overwrite your connection. Um, and then you're going to....it's going to be a complicated process because you're going to have to spike the actual ability to have been transformed, that's gonna be harder. M: Okay. B: Does that make sense? M: Yeah, so it's gonna take two spikes. B: It's gonna take two spikes. M: Alright. B: And you gonna have to get the right connection to the right place. Let's say you spike somebody from MaiPon, and then you spike an Elantrian, you're not going to be able to use it, you're not connected to the right area. M: Okay. Most of my questions are actually about the Reod Elantrians. B: Okay. M: So, could they be felt by Lifesense? B: They would, um...they are in the middle of a transformation. I would say that yes they could be, but you're going to get like a stutter is what I'd guess you would get, it's like you would get a...a flashing. M: Because they're kind of alive, and kind of not alive. B: Yeah. And so, yeah, you'd just get a flashing sort of....something. M: Okay. What would a Shardblade do to them? B: Um, a Shardblade would...oh boy. A Shardblade...a Shardblade would still be dangerous to them, um, the trick is, um, the Shardblade's gonna treat them half alive, half dead. So, it probably would be kind of a flicker, so it depends on when you hit them. It might cut the arm off. M: It might cut the arm off... B: And it might just leave it dead. M: So can you affect them with Emotional Allomancy? B: Yes. M: How easy would it be to pull metal through them? B: Pull metal out of them.... Easier, M: Easier than a regular human? B: Yes. M: Okay, I have a couple more. Is Nightblood's sheath made out of aluminum? B: That is an excellent question that nobody has asked me yet! Um...I will RAFO that. M: Oooh, I get a card. I got the card. B: That is an excellent question. M: Okay, and um, I have one more. Acutally, two more. Does a more Investiture-poor world make it so its magics are easier to use off-world? Because, you said that Scadrial is really Investiture-poor, and it can be used easily off-world, but Roshar is very Investiture-rich, and how can you get stormlight off of Roshar? B: Yeah. Um, I would say that there is a correlation. M: There is a correlation? B: Mhm. M: Okay, cool. And then, just one more, shouldn't the rest of Roshar be more Earth-like, more Shinovar-like, kind of, with Cultivation on Roshar? B: Um, you are mistakenly assuming that Cultivation means Earth-like flora and fauna. Roshar is very bountiful, and, um, like it's not a barren land. Um, Roshar is very, um.... zas678: Thriving? B: It's thriving. Yeah, it just has a different ecology. Um, you're mistakenly assuming that our ecology is the only sort that can be bountiful. And then I got a picture! Ah, I'm so happy!

TheOneKEA Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Wow! That question about Nightblood's sheath is AMAZING. And the question about Reod Elantrians and Shardblades is SUPER AMAZING. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mail-mi he/him Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Wow! That question about Nightblood's sheath is AMAZING. And the question about Reod Elantrians and Shardblades is SUPER AMAZING. Thanks! I was honestly a little bit surprised that no one had asked that yet. And what interested me was that Reod Elantrians aren't like Drabs in that they don't have innate investiture, but are halfway through a transformation, and so are flickering between alive and dead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanderfan she/her Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I got my first RAFO card today! (and I'll probably get more) I'm not sure whether I should laugh or cry. Probably both. By the way, I'm pretty sure Newan was right behind me the whole time. Sorry I was too shy to say anything at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanderfan she/her Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I asked if Kelsier chose not to move on after he died or if he did want to move on but couldn't for some reason. I kind of expected the RAFO but it was worth a shot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
