Willshaping Crasher Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 Does anyone have any ideas on what the current secret project is? I will, of couse read it. Just wondering if there is anyone else who would like it to be a full version of "I hate dragons"?
The Harlem Worldhoppers he/him Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 We know it's not Cosmere or Dark One or anything that Brandon has talked about writing before. Some people speculate that he is writing some stuff for Magic The Gathering as they have apparently been reaching out to fantasy writers. My personal hope is that it's something from the Wheel of Time universe based on the material that Robert Jordan left. RJ was planning on writing an outrigger trilogy post Memory of Light so there is a very slim chance that Brandon could write on it.
Emily she/her Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 Wait, that’s not Alcatraz 6 is it? I mean it was before but I don’t know about right now.

Definitely not Alcatraz 6. He can't talk about Secret Project before due to contractual obligations while he has talked about Alcatraz 6.

He said he had no intention of doing so unless explicitly asked though. Then again, if that's the case I'm not going to complain.
Hemalurgic Headshot he/him Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 I think that because he can't talk about it because of contractual reasons solidifies the case for it being part of the Magic the Gathering story. Wheel of Time is less possible.

Then again, if that's the case I'm not going to complain. Oh I would be very happy if it were the case. I thought Brandon would not touch the wheel of time source material again but it is a third party that he is working with on the project which means there is a tiny possibility that he has been asked to return. It's more likely that it is an M:TG project but that won't stop me from irrationally getting my hopes up.
Mierinx he/him Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 I was secretly hoping for the ending of the Mistborn Era 2... and still am, tbh. M:TG is news to me.. As for the Wheel of Time universe, I think he should let it go altogether. As the Secret Project bar stays the way it is now, I'll keep checking the website on a regular basis.

Wheel of Time is less possible. I agree. For there to be contractual obligations there must be a third-party IP he is working with. Tor doesn't swear him to secrecy on his projects in worlds he came up with.
+Sorana she/her Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 In the end it's something entirely else, like a school book, or a romance novel (ok unlikely as he says he finds it difficult to write good romance plots). But in the end most of us will read it and we will like it... More seriously: I didn't know they they were looking for authors for Magic the Gathering, so that seems like a plausible possibility.
Rhapsody she/her Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 @SoranaI think they have been doing that already for a long time as there are numerous books in the MTG universe written by different authors. Sadly most aren't good. It is a lot like the DSA books. Most are written really badly but sometimes you can find real gems
+Sorana she/her Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 @Rhapsody I know that there are books and I've read a lot of them. E.g. I liked the Time Spiral Cycle. It was a fun read. Nothing I would recommend, as I've definitly read better ones (Sanderson, Lightbringer, Powder Mage, Codex alera,...) But good enough to spend some nice hours reading. And yes, you're right a lot them aren't that good... What I didn't know is that they are actively looking for new authors...
Angsos Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 Over on dragonmount forums they said Jordan had only written a sentence for the Mat trilogy so I don't think anyone could write more based on notes. The prequels maybe but now that Brandon is well established in his own universe, I highly doubt he'd go near that one again.
