Unpopular Brandon Sanderson Opinions
bschnebs replied to not an Evil Librarian's topic in General Brandon Discussion
I don't think either Lightsong or Wit are funny -
Corporal isn't a high rank...its below Sergeant, and I'm pretty sure we've seen dark eyed Sergeants. I'm more interested in what he did with his slave brands and how he pulled off Corporal with a Captain's uniform.

I can't remember, did we already know that Mraize knew Shallan was Veil?

Shardblade summoning distance?
bschnebs replied to Faceless Mist-Wraith's topic in Stormlight Archive
I'd say its probably one of those instances of where they've come to expect the blades to behave in a certain way, so they do. I figure if somebody didn't "know" it had to be summoned to hand, then they could summon it elsewhere. Brandon seems to have a lot of abilities be limited by the user's perception of how they work. -
[Edgedancer Spoilers] I see you've played knife-y/fork-y before!
bschnebs replied to Stark's topic in Stormlight Archive
I wonder if Brandon put the Shard Fork in as a treat for us, or if he independently stuck it in there. I seem to remember posts long ago about a shard fork...maybe it was him in disguise giving us hints. -
Book Recommendation for Sanderson Fan
bschnebs replied to Dubisx's topic in General Brandon Discussion
I've been reading a lot of Wen Spencer lately. Her books aren't nearly as complex as some of the epic fantasies, but they're good quick reads and very enjoyable. -
Since when is Hazel considered dark?

Did anybody else think that the guy in White Sand was wearing an Elvis Jumpsuit?

And the lawsuit has been dropped as of July 2. Apparently they're working out some kind of settlement.

Found this link today. http://www.reddit.com/r/WoT/comments/30jhxi/update_on_the_wheel_of_time_pilot_lawsuit/ It contains updates on the lawsuit from some law student that has easier access to the court documents than us regular slontzes.

We have most of the changes above...if you're really worried about your copy being wrong now, you can go edit them yourself...that way you'll always know how they originally were and the corrections. I doubt we'll see this sort of thing very often. This was a learning experience for Sanderson and in the future, he'll most likely keep the book true to his vision of the characters and find a way to make the words work rather than put in characterization that he's not happy with. EDIT: heh...both my points were ninja'd

Discussion on State of The Sanderson 2
bschnebs replied to Moash's topic in General Brandon Discussion
Just saw a Tor announcement about trying out a subscription based service. I wonder if this is related somehow. Even better..TWO Mistborn books next year. -
Discussion on State of The Sanderson 2
bschnebs replied to Moash's topic in General Brandon Discussion
The announcement has been moved up to 4:00 PM EST. Too long to wait. -
I know Steelheart isn't cosmere, but this is the same problem that they have with pre-cogs in steelheart. You just have to figure out a way to checkmate them. I'll admit, not an easy thing to do, but should be possible.

There's already been two preview sections released, and people were talking about them in the WoR board so there are a few spoilers for book 3 in this recently merged board now.

I think you might be reading too much into his comment. I read it as the weapon form that spren take after bonding a Knight Radiant was modeled on the honorblades, so when the spren 'dies' due to breaking the bond, that's the form it reverts back to. A sword was the first weapon form that Syl took, even though Kal is obviously more comfortable with the spear.

Is Half a King as dark as his First Law series? I read the first few books of it and decided it wasn't for me. Is Half a King more of the same, or should I give it a chance?

I was sad when Rithmatist 2 disappeared off of his Status bar. I think that I'm looking forward to that one more than I am Firefight or Calamity. The mystery of Rithmatist pulls me in more than that of the Reckoners. I am, however, looking forward with glee to getting more Wax and Wayne goodness coming our way.

Some might argue with your "Great books" premise. I enjoyed Wizard's First Rule, but quickly lost interest in the series after that.

Have we seen soulcast meat? All the references I can remember just refer to either soulcast food, or soulcast grains. I can't recall meat being explicitly called out.
