Has Brandon ever mentioned if his ebook short stories or others will ever make to it physical paper versions?

[Guest _Shallan_]

Snapshot, Defending Elysium, Children of the Nameless, Perfect State, Centrifugal, Firstborn, I Hate Dragons, Dreamer in Games Creatures Play, Perfect State, Heuristic Algorithm and Reasoning Response Engine, and any/all others?

I have read all of his physical paper media, but have not read these because I prefer to have them physical and on a shelf, not in a computer file.

A sort of Arcanum type book for all of his other works would be really nice.

He said recently that the success of including the Way of Kings Prime in the Leatherbound Kickstarter makes him think they will include some of the other "prime" unpublished versions in future kickstarters.  Probably not the omnibus anthology you were hoping for, and likely only relating to the Cosmere works, but it's something.

So I would have to back some kickstarter?  I never use such sites to be honest, and I never input my debit card anywhere online, even if it is considered safe to do so due to an anxiety disorder, among other things that prevents me from doing normal things like this..  I don't own a credit card either, which I am fine with.  I do all my online shopping at amazon via gift cards.

I'd buy them all seperate also if they were done like Edgedancer was.

I kinda feel  he should put Defending Elysium in a future Skyward book.

Correct.  In the past, the Leatherbound and/or collector editions have been initially funded as a Kickstarter (makes it easy to gauge actual interest and pint/bind books accordingly) and if there was continued interest then they would be available from his website directly if they maintained enough interest to warrant a 2nd printing.  But as of now the official response is: 

Quote

 If you want a physical copy of The Way of Kings Prime, it’s available in several of the Kickstarter tiers and also as an add-on for backers of the campaign. We can’t guarantee we’ll ever reprint it once the campaign is over. (https://www.brandonsanderson.com/the-way-of-kings-prime/)

Ive never actually tried, but I think you can back a kickstarter with things like amazon gift cards or paypay, if that is your preference.

That's not a short story though, I think I'd expect the short stories (especially published things like Children of the Nameless) to be treated differently than unpublished drafts/curiosities.

To be clear - the Kickstarter for the 10th Anniversary Edition of The Way of Kings is the first Kickstarter Team Sanderson has done. 
 

Snapshot, Defending Elysium, Firstborn, Perfect State, and Shadows of Silence ARE published in physical book form if you want them. But I don’t know if specific plans for an omnibus. 

check subterranean press and Vault’s site to see if they’re still selling or not  

 

Dreamer and H.A.R.R.E. are in print as part of short story collections. I’ll edit when I find the titles as I can’t remember them off the top of my head

I thought I'd heard on a stream him talk about considering a non-cosmere short story collection, like Arcanum Unbounded.  But I'm not certain about hearing that.  He certainly has enough of them to fill a little book.

*****

The "Prime unpublished" things he was talking about releasing were specifically Aether of Night, White Sand (prose) and Dragonsteel.  I don't think this is relevant to what the OP wants.

Games Creatures Play - Charlaine Harris, and Armored - John Joseph Adams respectively.

Edit: There are also two "deleted scenes" from Wheel of Time, by Brandon, that are available in the books Unfettered and Unfettered III, edited by Shawn Speakman.

I was just browsing Brandon's updated store.

Hopefully they will be sold everywhere books can be sold, like local bookstores and amazon.com because of issues I mentioned earlier in the topic.

I’m sure they will at some point. Brandon seems like a great businessman and his publishing companies seem to know anything with Sanderson on it will sell like hot cakes. It will happen. In the mean time Firstborn in included in a fine anthology called Galactic Empires edited by Clarke which I thought was well done and worth checking out.

The credit card issue?

An idea - you could ask your bank for Debit Card.  It functions the same as a credit card in terms of paying for things in online stores, but the money just comes out of your standard bank account rather than creating a debt.

Debit or Credit.  I never input that information anywhere online, no matter how secure a site says it is.

As to everything else, if they are audio books only, I will not be able to get it because I am more than half deaf.  No inner ear in left ear, and 30 percent loss in right ear.

I need an Elantrian healer or something.

Well the other OTHER option is those prepaid visa gift cards.  Don't need to worry about people stealing the info, because you use them once and they're done.

Some credit card companies will also issue you a temporary number on their website to use for an online purchase.
