Guest Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 Where does the title come from? I've seen it around for quite a while, and it was even mentioned on this page near the bottom. Does anyone know the origin of "The Bandersnatch?" (Not referring to Jabberwocky, people...)
natc Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass, 1872. Says Wikipedia. I don't think the Jabberwocky was in that one was it? It matches his name, so it works.
kaellok he/him Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 I have vague recollection of there being a thread where people were trying to decide what Brandon Sanderson fans should be called, since other fandoms have names for themselves. And then someone mentioned Bandersnatch, and *bam!* done. Wish I could find the thread to share.
WeiryWriter he/him Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Yeah, that isn't a reference to Brandon, but to Bandersnatch Group Inc. which is for Robert Jordan/The Wheel of Time what Dragonsteel Entertainment is for Brandon. It is the company that handles the rights for the books and any adaptations. This is why I've never been a fan of "Bandersnatch" being used as a nickname for Brandon, it's too murky. 1
