SirFlapFla Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 I would love to read the in world versions of way of kings and oath bringer instead of just bits and pieces. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beodrakis he/him Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 (edited) honestly, I don't think that it would be that entertaining, it would probably take the form of something like a fairytale collection, just a bit darker. Also what would those books be called? having the same name for 2 books is bound to be confusing. btw, please don't double post.

I don’t think the point would be to be all that entertaining. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, i think that it could be cool to have them if you just wanted to read pieces of them every once in a while, maybe to get some context for the quotes that are in the books, even if it wouldn't be that entertaining to read them all at once. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Kinda like the silmarilian (don’t know if I spelled that right) probably a little less entertaining than that but comparison still stands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the whole work won't be released (see below) you can at least read the collected passages in the Coppermind (ditto Words of Radiance). Words of Brandon: Spoiler Questioner Are you going to write books like, Way of Kings? Not the Way of Kings you already wrote but the Way of Kings in Way of Kings? Brandon Sanderson I am not planning to. Feels like it'd just be a lot of work for very little-- Questioner In The Stormlight Archive, you've got the actual book The Way of Kings, are you planning to write it? Brandon Sanderson No, I am not. I feel like it would be an exercise that would take a lot of effort for very little value to the community or to myself. I like it also being open-ended so I can be like, "Oh, this should be in there," and then be like "Hey, here is a new quote from The Way of Kings". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did not mean to do that sorry Sometimes it's the fault of the browser (or site) not the user. It's always good practice when making a new thread to return to the Forum list and check that it was only created once. If there are multiple identical threads, simply open them and on the first post, click "Report" and in the Report message let the mods know it was an accidental duplicate post. They can then sort it out (simply delete the extras if there have been no replies, or merge them all if they all have a reply). In thread you can avoid double-posting by learning the quote and edit tools in this forum's design: Spoiler At the bottom left of the post you will see a "+" icon, a "Quote" link, and (your posts only) and Edit link. On the bottom right you will see an up arrow. The Up Arrow is how you thank people or "like" a post The "Quote" link is exactly that, when you click it the quote will be added to the reply at the bottom of the thread wherever the cursor is So, if you have already started to reply before you decide to quote you can then add the quote before or after your text depending on the cursor location when you click "Quote" The + icon is multi-quote. As you read a thread, if you want to quote multiple items you click that for each post As you click +, you should see a toaster pop-up on the bottom right of the browser window showing how many quotes you will have They are added in the order you click the + icon, not in the original post order, so you can set the order of quotes for your reply When you are ready to reply, click on the toaster pop-up and it will take you directly to the reply section and add the quotes automatically Finally, you can also highlight a small section of a post and, when hovering over the highlit portion, click the "Quote" button that pops up. Also note that you can move quotes after they have been added to your reply. For example, you add a quote and realize there are no empty lines below it for you to type - so you can hit "enter" before the quote to make an empty line then when you hover over a quote you will see a 4-way arrow at the top-left that you can use to drag the quote up (or down) and move the quote to before the empty line. . . Use the Edit link to make changes to a completed post or add information to your post if it is the most recent (to avoid double posting) Quote buttons will still send a quote to "Reply" if you have a post open for edit, but it is easy to cut/paste the quote to the Edit box Editing allows you to add a reason for the edit (Spelling and grammar (SPAG), formatting, clarification, new information, etc.), but it is not required. Hope that helps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
