Totally Serious Theory That is Backed Up By Lots of Textual Evidence

[TheShogun he/him]

Brandon is lying to us.

He says that the Cosmere is a different universe, but it's not true. It's in the Milky Way with us.

 

All of the books are written from true events. That's how come he can write so fast--he's making nothing up.

 

He is writing these books to gain a following, and to begin that following's initiation into the Seventeenth Shard.

The Seventeenth Shard is running low on members, that's why he had to come here.

 

Whenever someone disappears from the Cosmere fandom, it's because they have finished their Seventeenth Shard initiation and are now worldhopping and trying to find Hoid.

 

There are no Shards on Earth and Earth is not one of the 10 Shardworlds. 

 

 

So guys be ready for the Seventeenth Shard to pick you up.

Be ever vigilant.

So...people who disappeared...like me?

Also, worldhopping's overatted. Stay forever in Hallendren, if you get the chance.

 

(Also, good job re-de-lurking me again. I *might* start posting again...keyword might )

I have one problem with this theory, Brandon is clearly Hoid but he disguises himself as Peter using lightweaving and disguises Peter as him to avoid assassination attempts. Peter is the alias of Galladon who uses aons to disguise his glowiness.

EDIT: the rest of the writing excuses team are the original members of the 17th shard, apart from Mary, who joined later because they picked her up from Vedenar on their way through. It's the hair, you can always tell.
