Stormgate he/him Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 So, a while ago, I went to Sanderson's website and sent him an email asking for White Sand and Aether of Night. Recently I got an email giving me White Sand. Ecstatic as I was, I was slightly disappointed that I didn't get both. For those who have been where I am, do you get Aether of Night through email like White Sand, or am I completely delusional? Also, are there any explanations for why I didn't get them both? And finally, do White Sand and Aether of Night take place on the same world?
Esaias he/him Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Somebody must have made a mistake there. You could ask again for Aether. And no, they do not take place on the same world.
KaIadin he/him Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Yeah I did it a few days ago and I got both given to me by Brandon's assistant Adam Horne. Must be a mistake.
Stormgate he/him Posted January 13, 2016 Author Posted January 13, 2016 I still have the email with White Sand. Should I address the problem with a reply to that?
KaIadin he/him Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) Yes, or you can send another email. But I think it would be better to reply. Edited January 15, 2016 by ClockWork PoleAxe
Ari he/him Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Hope you enjoy White Sand in the meantime! If you want to discuss it I believe there's a PM group somewhere. If you're polite and appreciative I'm sure they'll have no problem sending out Aether to you as well, although there might well be a delay.
Stormgate he/him Posted January 16, 2016 Author Posted January 16, 2016 Actually, it was very quickly fixed. Sad it isn't Cosmere. 1
skaa he/him Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Actually, it was very quickly fixed. Sad it isn't Cosmere. Enjoy! I always thought Aether of Night was a Cosmere book (albeit a non-canonical one). Did you get a WoB regarding this?
Stormgate he/him Posted January 16, 2016 Author Posted January 16, 2016 It's in the foreword. He says he wrote it before he was published, when he was in full Cosmere mode. He says it isn't Cosmere, but used some of the elements in Aether in the Cosmere.

He says it isn't Cosmere, but used some of the elements in Aether in the Cosmere. Hmm, that's weird, my copy of Aether did not come with any foreword, and I distinctly remember Brandon referring to it as "cosmere but non-canon" in WoB. 1
Lurky McLurkerson he/him Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Just finished White Sands. Where is the appropriate place for discussions of its content? So many thoughts/ideas/theories.

I count myself lucky, then. Just finished White Sands. Where is the appropriate place for discussions of its content? So many thoughts/ideas/theories. There is currently nowhere that I know of that these things can be discussed, but apparently something is in the works.
Curiosity he/him Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 There is currently nowhere that I know of that these things can be discussed, but apparently something is in the works. There is a PM thread somewhere for unpublished works, but you have to have someone invite you. If you PM a mod (Moogle, Rubix, Kurk, etc.), they should be able to help you.
PallonianFire he/him Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Hmm, that's weird, my copy of Aether did not come with any foreword, and I distinctly remember Brandon referring to it as "cosmere but non-canon" in WoB. In his last State of the Sanderson, he certainly indicated that it will be a Cosmere book. And mine had the foreward (I got it just before Christmas), but I don't remember him saying it wasn't Cosmere.
