What a well researched video. Great job! Having heard most of these facts from the mouth of Sanderson himself in various interviews and articles I can vouch for their accuracy. Wonderful! Keep it up man
Harriet McDougal read te euology and some of mistborn before deciding that he was the right guy for the job. He was in 8th grade when he got into reading. They actually read most of Elantris before contacting him to see if they could still buy it. I'm nitpicking, but this was a good video.
Man, I've read all of his published works including the wheel of Time. But I don't know where to get hold of his unpublished works, help me out please?
If you sign up for the mailing list on his website, they should send you a copy of the original prose version of White Sand. There is a request thread on the 17th Shard for Aether of Night, and for the others, your best bet is to email him and ask. Good luck!
Someone has probably pointed this out already but water is not a beverage. Explicitly in the definition of a beverage it says that it is a drink that isn't water.
Maybe the more accurate title should have been “Ten Interesting Things About Brandon Sanderson.” If you are even a casual fan, most of these list items should already be well known to you. This list for me was like... Ten things you didn’t know about B.S.: 1.) he finished the wheel of time series 2.) his first name is Brandon 3.) He has written books 4.) his last name is Sanderson 5.) he is a white man 6.) he cannot be killed by any normal means 7.) he never eats food, finding sustenance only in the psychic energy imbued within finished manuscripts 8.) he once stabbed George Washington with a fragment of the fabled sword NightBlood 9.) he is standing right behind you at all times (don’t try and turn around to look behind you, because he will just use his teleportation magic to teleport to the place that was “in front of you” a moment ago, therefor truly being right behind you at all times) 10.) His public appearances are all made by his many simulacrums, and the only way to destroy any of them is by destroying the original (who can only be destroyed by finding his phylactery). Okay... maybe not so much those last few things... but the part about only finding nourishment in finished manuscripts is 100 percent verified on Twitter....
Now I remember that in dark souls you can do a cosplay of a sharded knight. In bloodborne you can do a cosplay of a mistborn. Darksouls: Havel armor + weapon of selection. Bloodborne: Head: Chalice dungeon explorer hoddie Chest: Crow vest. Gloves: Cainhurst knight gauntlets Boots: Chalice d. guardian (In my brain the gauntlets are made of aluminum of era 2) Weapons Right hand: blades of mercy and the church holy greatsword Left hand: cainhust pistol or the one with two cannons and the common shotgun. Spells: everyone that is a white'ish projectile (simulation of a coin/'s) and the bone hunter (mist related movement)
@@TheCosmerenaut The upside is that you're unhealthy obsession let's us get the information and still pretend we only have a "healthy interest" as we didn't go comb through everything he's ever been involved in. We "just watched an interesting facts video" Thank you for helping us uphold the delusion
It's a pretty popular video game that came out in 2011. I've only played a little of it (I died and lost all my collected souls, and have been too scared to start again). Here's its Wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Souls
It’s a Japanese action role playing game known for its very challenging yet always fair combat that forces you to really learn your opponents attack patterns and stuff. You will die a lot. But unlike other frustrating games you always know why you died and what you did wrong so that you can improve. And with each death you learn and progress. That’s why people like those games. It’s got a minimalist dark fantasy plot but makes up for it with some deep lore and great environmental storytelling. It is good. It’s considered one of the greatest Video games ever made for its deliberate challenging yet fair and rewarding gameplay and atmosphere.
I didn't start reading until fourth grade he didn't read till fourth grade he wrote while in highschool I write while in highschool he's a famous author....logic will tell you I will be too! Jk nope haha
You write too? Awesome! Have you seen Brandon's lecture videos? They're taken from the creative writing class he teaches at BYU, and they're super valuable!
Yeah I write probably not well haha. I haven't seen his lectures but I'll have to check them out. If he has anything to teach about writing I want to hear it!
For sure! One collection is here: th-cam.com/play/PLH3mK1NZn9QqOSj3ObrP3xL8tEJQ12-vL.html And another is here: th-cam.com/users/WriteAboutDragons I also recommend the podcast "Writing Excuses", which Brandon is regularly on.
Sanderson's Favourite game is Dark Souls!!! Oh yeah, more reasons to love the guy
He's got good taste!
My favorite fact was that he finished wheel of time cause of a eulogy. Nice 👏👏👏
Yeah, it's pretty cool.
Brandon Sanderson is a prolific writer. He's like the Stephen King of fantasy.
King has averaged 1-2 books per year since 1974, which is about Brandon's pace, so yeah!
He loves DS and Bloodborne! The more I learn about him, the cooler he becomes!
"Praise the sun!"
What a well researched video. Great job! Having heard most of these facts from the mouth of Sanderson himself in various interviews and articles I can vouch for their accuracy. Wonderful! Keep it up man
Thank you! I know there are a couple things I got a bit off, but I was trying to go from memory and limited notes. Thanks again!
I literally have been debating joining Booktube to primarily talk about Brandon Sanderson and now HERE I FOUND YOU, thanks for the content 👌👌
Glad I could fill that niche! Thanks!
You got me. I'm a Sanderfan and didn't know all these.
Happy to provide the new thing you learned for today!

Yeah, I realized after I posted it that I got some of the details wrong. That's the danger of trying to work from memory and not notes. Thanks!

Couldn't agree more.

That seems... really picky.

Yeah right? Language is weird
What about the fact that Brandon Sanderson came up with the 'Sanderson's Three Laws Of Magic'?
This is true!

Little late, but what can you do?
Haha, thanks for finishing the song!
Bro I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) and when you started singing that song I was dying 😂😂
Yes, I also got a smile when Rafo started singing primary songs
Hey, I know who I am!
I'm loving all your videos!
Thank you!
I knew all of these, but it was still cool to hear them all together.
Thanks!

The Sanderbot 3000 is real.
Good video, well done on this
Thanks!
Thanks!
You're welcome!
Really love your videos keep um coming
Thanks! I'll do what I can!
I feel like I learned all of this from the several lectures series on TH-cam.
I dug through his AMAs on Reddit for a bunch of it too. Anything else cool that I missed?
I would pedantically like to point out that Brando Sando pronounces it *raffo*
Correct. I get it right in later videos.
Now I remember that in dark souls you can do a cosplay of a sharded knight. In bloodborne you can do a cosplay of a mistborn.
Darksouls: Havel armor + weapon of selection.
Bloodborne:
Head: Chalice dungeon explorer hoddie
Chest: Crow vest.
Gloves: Cainhurst knight gauntlets
Boots: Chalice d. guardian
(In my brain the gauntlets are made of aluminum of era 2)
Weapons
Right hand: blades of mercy and the church holy greatsword
Left hand: cainhust pistol or the one with two cannons and the common shotgun.
Spells: everyone that is a white'ish projectile (simulation of a coin/'s) and the bone hunter (mist related movement)
That's awesome!
Holyshit! You did your research. 👏👏
My obsession is bordering on unhealthy at this point.

I'm planning a 10 More Things that should have a few surprises.
You could stop look down at whatever you are reading of. It feel like you did not prepare much for this video. Funny editing tho
Thanks for the feedback! I feel like I've gotten better in my more recent videos.
