Ripheus23 Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 Everyone knows that Sanderson books are too short, especially Stormlight books. What to do about it? A: origami coding. Fold the pages to line up parts of words for more content. B: invisible ink in the margins/spacing. Possibly include magnifying glass with purchase and blacklight for the ink directly. C: invent an alternative English that can be read two ways, so that after reading the actual text in original English, you can start over with second English. In fact, you can do this multiple times, maybe indefinitely, and once translations are brought in... D: coat the paper in mild hallucinogens so readers add their own books to the books while reading. E: start a forum for people to transcribe hallucinations, both chemically induced and meditatively realized. 2

Or wipe the readers minds so they can read the books again.
Rushu42 she/her Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 Read the first word of every sentence for bonus content.
Spren of Kindness she/her Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 Compile three books into one massive book.
Karger he/him Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 Just scramble the words of all of his books and produce a new set of the grammatically compiled results.
DramaQueen she/he/neopronouns Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 Add the word "plethora" after every time it says "and"

Weltall Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) Make all the books like the Diagram, with chapters coded within chapters if you know the code. And the epigraphs could contain hints, with new methods per chapter. Bonus points if at least one of the books contains nothing but encoded recipes for Rock's stews, Hoid's favorite instant noodle flavorings, chouta etc. 3 hours ago, Frustration said: Or wipe the readers minds so they can read the books again.

FriarFritz Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 A mind-wipe would be great, but not for Sanderson's books, because theories wouldn't work.

clockworkspider Posted August 5, 2020 Posted August 5, 2020 Size 96 font would greatly extend the length of Sanderson novels. But in all seriousness (possibly not warranted for this topic?), Sanderson's real achievement will be bringing himself to write a Stormlight Archive novel shorter than the previous one. Which is something he really needs to do, I think. 1

Snorkel Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 Yeah, I mean, normally I'll take the stance that our appreciation of art is subjective. People's opinions and experiences are different and need to be respected. Your response cannot be wrong, because it's your true reaction to the media in question . . . But in this case - no. That's clearly wrong.
