Chaos he/him Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 In case you didn't know, here's a Twitter exchange that happened today: BrandonSandrson: Diversion side project is something I think I mentioned on my blog a few days back. It will make some of you very excited. BrandonSandrson: Yes, the new secret project has Allomancers in it. 17thshard: Hmmm, I wonder if the Mistborn short story is the one with Gemmel, or a different one I don't remember? - Eric PeterAhlstrom: @17thshard Different. 17thshard: @PeterAhlstrom Okay, now I'm excited. PeterAhlstrom: @17thshard You should be. Well, I'm fresh out of ideas. Anybody have some theories about this short story?
Silus - Shard of Flame he/him Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 He's said that the short story has a Bendalloy Misting in it, which makes me very excited for some Matrix-style awesomeness.
Chaos he/him Posted October 21, 2010 Author Posted October 21, 2010 Yeah, it must be a short story he's never talked about before.
leinton Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 The most important detail. Allomancer gunfight. It's finally happening.
Munin he/him Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 Hang on, there's a short story with Gemmel? Where?
Zas678 he/him Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 It's a story that was supposed to come out with the Mistborn RPG board a few years ago. However, progress seems to have stalled.
DariusJenai Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 Well, according to Brandon, the "short story" just hit 40k words, which now makes it a "short novel".
Chaos he/him Posted November 4, 2010 Author Posted November 4, 2010 I continue to be super stoked for this "short" story. I wonder when we will be able to read it?
Ryan he/him Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 Having listened to the QnA at the Towers of Midnight release party on Ustream, I can report a couple of things: 1. He said it was around 60k and still growing. 2. He's not sure what he's going to do with it. It's a little odd. I'm sure Tor would have no qualms about publishing it for him, but a whole novel outside his planned trilogy of trilogies seems like a bit much. I just hope we get to read it sooner than a decade from now.
DariusJenai Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 Is it going to feature pizza? The Necro Pizza Story is a different one. I'm sure Tor will publish it. At the very least he may pull another Warbreaker with it.
mycoltbug Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 BrandonSandrson posted on his twitter feed: Brandon Sanderson By the way, Tor really wants my Mistborn short novel. And so, it is official. New Mistborn novel in stores next year. We get a new book next year.
SOM1else he/him Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 How many pages is 40k words? I'm hoping that it got longer from his last update until now but if its stayed the same i want somthing thats at least 200 pages.
mycoltbug Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 40K words generally in manuscript form is around 80-100 pages. But that changes drastically when put into print. It's hard to say how many pages it would be in print form because we don't know if they have plans to put it in hardback or paperback. That changes how many pages it will be.Ryan confirmed that it's around 60k words.
Link Von Kelsier Harvey he/him Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 *Ahem* WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :) ;D ;D
Silus - Shard of Flame he/him Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 Actually kind of disappointed that it'll be a published book. I was hoping to read it before going on my mission, but it doesn't look like it now. Darn Tor and snatching it up.
Kykeon Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 (edited) Something tells me that it'll be in some Sazed-forsaken corner of the world (what was its name again?) and that we'll not see *any* of the characters from the books. But hey, that's al right with me. BTW, do they ever say if there are other continents apart from the one on which the Final Empire is situated? That is one of the things I forgot. Edited October 16, 2012 by Kykeon
Link Von Kelsier Harvey he/him Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 I'm pretty sure Brandon said SOMEWHERE, that all throughout the Final Empire, on the North Pole, there were people living on the South Pole as well. The real reason we won't see the original characters, is that it takes place some 200 years after HoA. Which means...Marsh and Ten Soon! ...Then again, I think he'll wait for the next trilogy to bring those two back.
SOM1else he/him Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 Is it going to be mistborn 4 or just a tie in between the two trilogys
Link Von Kelsier Harvey he/him Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 Well, it was originally going to just be a short story that he wrote for fun and then posted on his website if he liked it enough. When it turned out to be novel length is when Tor stepped in to publish it. So... Call it a side story? It's gonna be short for a Sanderson book, and will not technically be "Mistborn 4." Just a neat story to read while we wait for the next trilogy.
mycoltbug Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 BrandonSandrson Mistborn Short Novel first draft is finished. 85k long. Out next fall. Blog post coming. Huzzah!
Silus - Shard of Flame he/him Posted November 16, 2010 Posted November 16, 2010 No, not the fall! That's too late!
SOM1else he/him Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 Maybe you could try to convince Brandon to give you an ARC so you can read it before you leave.
Silus - Shard of Flame he/him Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 When do they start giving out ARCs? And I've got a WoK ARC, does that count against me?
