Three Fantasies: Tales from the Cosmere
Chaos replied to lacrossedeamon's topic in The Coppermind Wiki
I do not have an opinion beyond that we do not need to include it on the books or Bibliography page, which is why I did not comment on this earlier. -

I don't disagree with Stargazer's logic. And personally, I never agreed with the logic that Arcanum and Coppermind should be switched -
Three Fantasies: Tales from the Cosmere
Chaos replied to lacrossedeamon's topic in The Coppermind Wiki
There is vastly less interest in noncosmere works. Splitting wikis would be a lot of work, and kind of send the noncosmere stuff off to die. The only benefit would be some easier categorization, but in literally every other scenario, this feels like a negative. I think it's fine and appropriate to have the Coppermind name and have it evoke the cosmere, while not being exclusively cosmere. None of our 17th Shard sites, 17S, Coppermind, or Arcanum split these, and every bit of branding indicates it is the Brandon Sanderson wiki in this case. -

1. Enjoy... hmm. It can be pretty taxing. But I do enjoy being the big guns that staff brings out to deal with jackasses. I do think I have gotten a lot better at this, but I have never been one who, like... avoids confrontation? It's pretty easy for me. Overall, I think there have been some mistakes--and I have been too harsh at times--but I'm pleased with the big decisions. 2. Radiant Shardbearer with Plate who can also fly vs. guy who can fly with no natural defenses, whose primary offense is regular daggers and shooting coins... Yeah, this seems like no contest. Kelsier is great, but Radiants are super OP. 3. Very much so! Approaching the ending. I spoke about this a bit more in my last post. 4. Sydney, Australia, which I was just in earlier this month!

Hey, not a worry. Thanks for asking! Book is going awesome! At the end of May I finished Part Three (of five). This summer I have not quite gotten as far as I wanted, because I had so many work projects as well as our honeymoon to Australia, but I am 78% done, and I am two chapters away from the start of the big Brandon Avalanche. I just need to focus on actually doing Part Four, and not skip ahead to the fun stuff in Part Five. I expect once I am done with Part Four I will blaze through Part Five. After all, I've thought about the ending of this book for ten to twelve years, so I am very hyped. The other day I wrote the last two scenes in the final regular chapter (not including the three epilogue scenes), and it's very exciting. Book will be done by the end of October almost certainly.

Things will be updated sometime. I've wanted to do that for a while. I would expect the highest tier to increase to fit in more things. Lots of good things to fit in, though! TimeTeller definitely has to be one. I love the titles that make people say, "Wait... what even is this?"
