Paragrin she/her Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Urban legends are actually scenes that Brandon cut from the history textbook he was writing. 12
Popular Post Curiosity he/him Posted February 10, 2015 Popular Post Posted February 10, 2015 Brandon Sanderson even has his characters RAFO each other: WoR (minor) “You can see the spren,” Kaladin pressed, “because of what happened to you in these waters.” “Is not part of story,” Rock said, eyeing him. “It is . . . involved. I will say no more of this thing.” 34
Unhinged he/him Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 When Brandon Sanderson publishes a book his fans get back pains when they carry it home. This has actually happened to me. 2
natc Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Sanderson merely has to come up with his stories; they will become the ideal form of "novel" in the spiritual and cognitive realms just by doing so, becoming an Essence. The printing presses used to print his books are actually soulcasters. 3
Nicroburst he/him Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Every book Brandon has released up to this point has been a "warm up" novel, each was written accidentally. Sanderson was once actually part of the Cosmere, he wrote about our world and the books were so good that the cognitive and spiritual realm reshaped the physical realm in the books image. He is writing cosmere novels in hope of returning the world to how it was. 11
phattemer Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 Brandon Sanderson can scare a pot of ink into a Stormlight novel. One time he created a map that had a hidden message that is probably related to math higher than calculus and we still don't know what it says. When he put his books on the internet it tripled in size. 5
Popular Post Nicroburst he/him Posted April 5, 2015 Popular Post Posted April 5, 2015 Brandon once visited the Nightwatcher and asked for the ability to write fantasy novels unparalleled by any other. The Nightwatcher in turn cursed him with this thread, knowing if he ever came across it he'd be really really embarrassed. 23

The Nightwatcher in turn cursed him with this thread, knowing if he ever came across it he'd be really really embarrassed. I thought the curse was that he is now incapable of stopping writing 3
Shaggai Posted April 5, 2015 Author Posted April 5, 2015 Brandon Sanderson can scare a pot of ink into a Stormlight novel. One time he created a map that had a hidden message that is probably related to math higher than calculus and we still don't know what it says. When he put his books on the internet it tripled in size. Julia sets aren't higher than calculus. Although I'm not sure about quaternions. Apparently the fundamental formula is i2 + j2 + k2 = ijk = -1, which isn't that complicated, but there might be more than that. 1

Apparently the fundamental formula is i2 + j2 + k2 = ijk = -1, which isn't that complicated, but there might be more than that. You'll need more terms for each dimension you're adding to the coordinates too, obviously. And I believe the specific definition is more fancy than that. But the actual map is just referencing one frame of a web animation of a specific Julia set, so it's not that complicated.
phattemer Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Yeah, but in that thread where they talk about it, someone said that wasn't it exactly (Peter or Brandon).
Paranoid King he/him Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Sanderson's books are so long, that once you finish reading one, you can immediately start again from the beginning. 7

Also, welcome! The kilogram is actually based off of half the mass of a paperback copy of The Way of Kings, the paperback box set of the Mistborn trilogy, the paperback version of Steelheart, and the electrons for the Ebook version of The Emperor's Soul. EDIT: Changed this somewhat to be more accurate. Apparently, Amazon has weights for products. Edited April 13, 2015 by kinxer 6
Shaggai Posted April 13, 2015 Author Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) Yeah, but in that thread where they talk about it, someone said that wasn't it exactly (Peter or Brandon). I'm pretty sure Peter confirmed it. Let me go dig up the post exactly. Edit: Here it is. Took you guys long enough. Edited April 13, 2015 by Shaggai 1
High prince of geeks he/him Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Brandon Sanderson once wrote a entire book about a potion like magic system he wanted to work on in a new language he invented. But sadly in a battle with greater powers it was lost to the sands of time. Recently we have rediscovered it and called it the "Voynich manuscript" 2
Zas678 he/him Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 I thought the sands were made into glasses..... 3
Curiosity he/him Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 I thought the sands were made into glasses..... Yes, the sands of time were made into Lenses, but Brandon currently uses them to convince the world that he writes fast. He just keeps the piles of golden dust that accumulate around his desk a secret. 1
Xaladin he/him Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Julia sets aren't higher than calculus. Although I'm not sure about quaternions.

Delightful Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Hold on. The Quaternion group shows up in a novel? WHERE?I don't personally understand the maths, but Julia sets was used in creating the specific shape of the map of Roshar - check out the "things hidden in the map of Roshar" thread.
Xaladin he/him Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Ok, thanks! I didn't realize you were referring to which Julia set is the map of Roshar. When I discovered this, my respect for Mr. Sanderson skyrocketed (in case you don't know, my "picture" is of a part of the Mandelbrot set, which is closely related to Julia sets). 1

Kobold King he/him Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Brandon Sanderson convinced Stick that he's not a Stick You've got it backwards. He convinced fire that it should become a stick and star in his new fantasy novel, and it was so happy with the lifestyle change that it vowed never to go back. 10
Curious Anamaximder he/him Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Brandon Sanderson is so cool, he eats chouta for Breathfast.
