I'm not commenting on the book opinions because mine are complicated and I think some things have gotten better and some worse, but for this: his editors are very much there and very much actively editing the books. There's a big team. Something being in the books doesn't mean it wasn't pointed out by anyone - it just means that Brandon wanted it to be there (with occasional cases of things slipping by; typos and continuity errors happen). Peter and the rest of Editorial don't have the final word, and the editors at Tor (and other publishers) definitely don't. He listens and takes feedback from them, but he makes the final decisions. If Brandon wants it there, it will be there, regardless of what anyone else thinks. On top of that, the editors don't necessarily think the book is bad. Framing it as them all not wanting to speak up assumes that they all share your opinion, but people have a variety of opinions! It's not fact. And this is slightly more speculation, because I don't know what's running through their heads exactly, but I suspect that even if both Brandon and Editorial thought the book needed another draft, they might consider not doing it. I don't think any of these would necessarily be a primary motivation, but they might factor in. They set a hard deadline for themselves with Dragonsteel Nexus, and having the book come out on an irregular date for book releases might also make things hard to change on the back end. Beyond that...Brandon has a lot of books he wants to get to before he dies. He can't draft one forever. That said...the White Sand nonsense. So maybe he can rewrite one thing forever and not care

It should still be 20 and it looks like you haven't hit that in the last day or so, can you screenshot the popup it gives you? Is it the usual one? Edit: looks like you did hit the limit Friday, if that was the time?

(Please don't do posts of a single letter at a time! That edges over the line into spam.) I'm behind on The Dragon Prince, only like some of Epic, and recently watched Arcane, so I guess I count here? XD

I did start working on an overhaul a while back, at the same time as the other profile changes we did, but haven't worked on that in a bit due to getting busy with other stuff. I have been looking at previous requests and this is a good resource too, thanks!

Hi, I've moved this to the Dragonsteel Prime subforum! I think in DSP, this is indeed his birth name. We don't know if it still is canonically, though, or have any other info (that I'm aware of).

Ene exhaled. "Well, it hurt. The stab hurt, and being betrayed by one of my best friends also hurt." His voice was sharp, but not cold. "And then it felt like a whole lot of things at once and then I was talking to a Paradox Person, and they were telling me I was one too, and that was probably why I'd been assassinated, even though I didn't even know and just wanted to go search out N." He consciously relaxed his hands on the table and took a sip of cocoa. "So. Not great. Thanks for that."

Cassie winced. She couldn't say she didn't relate to the responsibility, to needing to keep things together for the rest - that was what had gotten her into her current mess - but at least her order wasn't the one specifically known for leadership, for keeping groups strongly united. No wonder James was having a hell of a time. "Honestly, I don't know either," she admitted. "I mean, I'd love to say it doesn't matter, journey before destination, whatever happens happens, but it still does. If you're not sure what journey you're taking, and there's no destination at all..." She lifted her shoulders in a tired shrug and stopped going down the stairs, facing him. "I don't think any of us know what we're doing, really. Yeah, we have the bones of a plan, but..." She shook her head. "I'm not a Bondsmith, so maybe I don't get it, but I wouldn't worry about keeping up a perfect front. Sometimes a group can be united without any one person taking charge as the leader. Doc sure didn't do much to organize our craziness, but he still made us a family. Maybe you're free to embody your order and unite in more than one way." Maybe we all are. "Who's Theo? I don't think you've mentioned them before," she said abruptly, changing tack to hopefully distract him a bit and give them both time for the more serious thoughts to process. "Can't imagine anyone being disappointed in you."

It's gonna be some of both, right? People give rep for many different reasons, but generally in the theme of liking what the post says. And as you're around longer, that will accumulate and you'll gain more. Being active helps, but so does making great posts that others will enjoy. Neither is a guarantee; there are plenty of people who've been here for years and not gained a ton of rep, and also plenty of newer people who rise fairly quickly. But also remember that your reputation count isn't a measure of who you are as a person, or even how popular you are or how many friends you have! You can be awesome even without having much rep. Also, don't ever post solely trying to get rep, or spamming; we will shut that down. Just make posts naturally and be thoughtful, and remember that whether you get upvotes or not, we're happy to have you here!

Hey, welcome to the forums! It looks like this might be addressed to Dragonsteel, and I'm sorry to inform you that most of the team doesn't visit the forums often, and most don't have accounts. Their contact page is the best place to get ahold of them: https://support.dragonsteelbooks.com/support/tickets/new If this is just addressed to us fellow Sanderfans - I believe Dragonsteel has said that they intend to restock the character pin series. They didn't promise that most things would still be available after the campaign, so it might be that for most items they're just selling their leftover stock and won't restock it, but iirc the pins have been the one thing they've always said they wanted to keep going with. If the other pins you're looking for aren't in the Year of Sanderson pin series, we don't know if they'll be available again.

Let's say 3 months after the PDF release, since everyone who ordered a physical copy gets the PDF as well (I know there's a significant contingent of people who prefer/need to read physical, I prefer it myself, but if they want to hold out that long then they might just need to be careful which book spaces they enter until they catch up). Yep, Mistborn should follow the same pattern.

Yo! Here's how we're doing this for now: Content from the adventures (Stonewalkers, Bridge 9, etc.) must be clearly tagged/labeled, so that players who haven't finished them yet can avoid it. Content from the handbooks will be treated like WoBs, and can be untagged anywhere Stormlight or Mistborn respectively can be untagged. We're going to have to see what's in the world guides, but let's tentatively give them a spoiler period of three months tagged and labeled everywhere when they come out.

Readings from Brandon/upcoming preview chapters:

Are you by chance reading a translation of the books? Alder's is what I'm seeing as well.

Moved this to Cosmere Discussion - note that Shaor isn't mentioned in Tress, so is considered a spoiler there.

I'm told Peter has confirmed Brandon doesn't have anything in the anthology. (Still fun, just wanted to throw that out!)

That's been how these have been going, yep! If you guys do make another, feel free to tag me

I don't see a typo here, what are you referring to?

Saying sorry doesn't make it less of a double post! /lh I've merged the two - in the future, when it's the same day, it's really not necessary to double post; you can just edit your previous post. When you get a week or so out, that's when I'd deem it not really a faux pas anymore, but there's no hard line. I doubt that's going to be allowed (if even legal, I'm not sure). Kellyn has said: "We will have a team there filming the ball for future promotional purposes. It will not be streamed, and a full-length video will not be made available." So we might get some clips to entice people to go to next year's ball, but unfortunately it seems like it would have to be experienced firsthand. YKYASW so I'm not being a total downer in this post...YKYASW you already own a first printing of Skyward, but you buy another copy because it's in good condition and...well, Skyward. Skyward, you guys.

Good taste. Yes, of course Welcome back! My first answer is whatever you guys prefer, because your enjoyment comes first. My second answer is that I'd love to hear her thoughts every week (or every few weeks if that's easier for you guys, etc.) as preview season goes along.

Our policy isn't an outright "no AI art", but no AI art in the fanworks or gallery sections, and it's good practice to disclose when you've made something with AI. I'll note that it's fine to criticize AI art as being uncanonical (as long as you're not being rude about it), but in cases where something isn't stated to be AI you should be careful - you never know whether something is or isn't, and we do have a policy of not giving unsolicited critique to artists! Looks like those videos do say they used AI art, just saying for the future. Also, admittedly, I'm personally not sure there's much of a discussion to be had here? These videos exist, they don't match canon descriptions or your mental image of the character, cool, but I can't really see this going anywhere, just commenting that stuff is bad. That part's just my take.

Yeah! Anyone can make one but I can make another if people want. They don't have to be minor POV characters, that's just what this round was.

Hello hello I'm super late but yes! I'll lob some links at you, and you can scroll through there and see if anything describes you well - note that not all terms listed in these wikis are commonly used or identified with, but it's somewhere to start: https://nonbinary.wiki/wiki/Man https://nonbinary.wiki/wiki/Transmasculine https://nonbinary.wiki/wiki/Transfeminine https://gender.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Masculine https://gender.fandom.com/wiki/Transfeminine_Man It's also just fine to stick with umbrella terms if those feel most applicable - 'nonbinary man', 'masc enby', 'transfem man', and so on.

Entirely valid, hope you're having a good life with the kids

Oh hey I'm the Hero of Ages turns out it wasn't Alendi, Vin, or Sazed, it was actually me all along!
