BlackCoffeeBulb: you'll get him sued for copyright infringement for a few useless internet points, congrats

mpkeith :  It's free advertising...

"Where did the name Wind Runner come from?"

"Well, there are these amazing books..."

So far (to my knowledge) nobody has been sued for Bridge Four homemade stuff, fan art, 3D printed shard blades and so on.

I really don't think Brandon Sanderson is that kind of guy. Seems to me he's happy to share with all of us his work.

Brandon Sanderson: I have expressly permitted it, in fact. I had a lawyer draw up as liberal a fanart policy as I could make, and not scare away people like film companies. Basically, you can create whatever you want for your personal use, and can even sell some form of fanart so long as you're not using me or implied relationship with me in the marketing.

Do look at the official language in my FAQ, though, as opposed to taking my (flawed) memory on how it works. Either way, no, I'm not going to ever be bothered by individual fan creations, and instead encourage them. And something like this far is a huge mark of respect from the owner, toward me.

gsauce8:  So essentially as long as you're not saying something along the lines of "Officially licensed" or anything close to that, you're good to go? That's freaking awesome.

Brandon Sanderson: It's a little more tricky than that--I let the lawyers hash it out. But basically, you can't use our artwork, our branding, and can't say it's official. But you CAN sell art prints of art you made of characters/scenes from the books, even if they include things like Kaladin's scars or a Bridge Four patch. You don't need a license, and you don't owe us anything.

It's a legal grey area that I want to make less grey. I like fanart, and want to encourage it--and in so doing, feel like an artist making something transformative like this should be able to profit from their art. Yes, my books inspired that art--but other books inspired me to write, as did films and artwork. This is how art is created.

Mostly, this applies to thinks like prints right now. (We haven't authorized T-shirts, for example, as that kind of thing gets really tricky with movie deals wanting merchandising rights.) Again, read the exact language on the FAQ, but we've tried to be as lenient here as we can be.

Also, I have no problem with fanfic, so long as it remains in the fan realm, rather than being sold. (But if you write something awesome, and readers like it, I'd encourage you to change the names/setting and rebrand it as your own so you could sell it.)

Thinking really hard if I wanna pledge for the new secret project.

#If it was just the price I would be so down. But the shipping is hurting my heart #brandon sanderson #And I could get extra merch and an extra ebook #Cosmere #Guys Idk

I think for cosmere merch they should make a gorgeously illustrated "Where's Wit" or "Where's Hoid", but the former sounds better. There could be alot of scenes that we already know he's in and some that we didn't think he was in at first but it turns out he was hanging out in the background. And maybe you could get extra points for finding other world hoppers in the background (Nazh my beloved)

#i need this to happen right now #cosmere art is so pretty and id love to get more of it #hoid #wit #cosmere #world hoppers #the possum speaks #mine

I had an idea for Cosmere merch.

It’s a sweater, a long-sleeved shirt, or a jacket emblazoned with the symbol of your choosing. Bridge Four, the metal charts, the Radiant Orders, Aons, the Double Eye of the Almighty, whatever. 

But if you roll up one of the sleeves, the Ghostblood symbol is right there on the inside lining.

Tress of the Emerald Sea

Description: The only life Tress has known on her island home in an emerald-green ocean has been a simple one, with the simple pleasures of collecting cups brought by sailors from faraway lands and listening to stories told by her friend Charlie. But when his father takes him on a voyage to find a bride and disaster strikes, Tress must stow away on a ship and seek the Sorceress of the deadly Midnight Sea. Amid the spore oceans where pirates abound, can Tress leave her simple life behind and make her own place sailing a sea where a single drop of water can mean instant death?

This was released on the 1st of the month to kick off the "Year of Sanderson" and I spent the entire day yesterday binge reading it and loving everything about it. He also worked with Howard Lyon, an artist, who detailed illustrations to be added throughout the novel that were all AMAZING and increased the reading experience! I want some of these as giant art prints because they are gorgeous! (I'll be including them below!)

I read the book in a day and loved it. It had good deaf rep for a side character, a fun and interesting magic system and incredible new world and planet to explore in the cosmere. A world that seemed as beautiful as it is deadly. The 12 different moons, with 12 different seas made of different spores that do a variety of dangerous things that could kill you, but be so useful if used properly when they get wet. It was really cool to read about and to read about how well Tress handled herself as she learned! Sandersons magic systems are such a strong point for his novels. I loved the playful silliness of the prose. I was surprised in the best way that the story is actually told and narrated by Hoid, a beloved cosmere character, as if it's a lengthier verison of the stories he tells in the Stormlight Archive. He breaks the fourth wall, engages playfully and the humor hits for me. The romance was sweet, not overtly intense or even the best relationship he has written, but it was cute. I enjoyed Tress as an MC and following her adventures and accidental Voyage into piracy as she heads out to rescue her love was amazing. The crew was great and I love a good pirate novel! And Piracy on an Ocean that had no water and was magical was super cool! The cosmere Easter eggs were amazing to find. Like Ulaam the Kandra, Riina from the Ire, and Hoid, of course, played a much bigger role as the stories narrator. I saw references to Mistborn, to Warbreaker and to Stormlight here. But while there were references, it is possible to read this book without reading anything else and holds itself up as a really great cozy lighthearted fantasy standalone read without spoiling any other books. Which is great!

Honestly, a great book to start off my 2023 reading time with and while I don't normally post my reviews here, I wanted to share this one and I wanted to share all the stunning art too! Because WOW! I ultimately ended up giving this book 4 stars out of 5. I can't wait for the merch box that comes with it to get here this month and see what's included as well as get to have this in hardcover!

Stunning art. Truly. Will be spending some time on 17th shard exploring all the possible intricacies I missed my first time reading and hearing what everyone else was thinking of it and any other possible cosmere connections!

There's a new Schlock Mercenary Kickstarter, which means I should probably get busy figuring out what to do with my merch from the last Kickstarter. Besides the book, I got two pins and three Challenge Coins. I've seen people display pins using what is basically an embroidery hoop, and most of them use just fabric (plain or patterned), but, look . . . I'm am embroidery person now. If I'm going to do a hoop, I'm going to make it cool.

I think this dark blue fabric will be a good choice as far as color — it looks appropriately spacey, and both of my pins show up reasonably well against it. Still trying to decide what embroidery to do, though. I could keep it simple and do constellation patterns, though I'm also possibly doing that with my Cosmere pins, so . . . not sure if I want to repeat that. I could also maybe throw in a planet or two if I went this route? Or Eine-Aifa lineart, though I don't remember if we ever see that in full view.

I could do line art of some of the ships from the comic (probably with the ships on the challenge coins also in the picture). I really enjoy the ship designs in this strip, and this seems like a reasonably straightforward option. Downside: I know one of these characters wasn't on either ship, and I can't remember which ship the other one was on, and I know it'll bug me if I mess it up . . . I could probably resolve this by rereading part of the comic, but then I'll end up rereading the whole comic, and I cannot afford that time right now.

A small, absolutely mad part of me wants to try to do an actual scene of some kind, but the larger part of me that recognizes the limits of my artistic skills is trying to lock the crazy bit in a closet.

I'm also poking at the idea of painting the embroidery hoop, probably in spacey silver and blue. I have paint left over in appropriate colors from when I made a sword and dragon eggs . . .

If anyone has made these before — do you normally use multiple layers of fabric? Fabric and batting? Fabric and felt? I feel like a single layer of fabric isn't enough. (I'm going to look up some DIYs, but I like hearing people's actual experiences.) I have another hoop to finish before I do this one, so I have time to figure out what I'm doing.

Side note — as I said, there's another Kickstarter going on now! They've already met a bunch of the stretch goals, which is exciting. I'm really hoping we can get to 2,000 backers, which would probably blow the minds of the people running the campaign, and I want to see what they come up with as a reward for that. I'll drop a link here if you want to check it out. (You should also go check out the original comics, if you haven't read them. They get so good.)

#taleweaver speaks #this is both a genuine project post #and a little bit of a blatant promo post #but as I have said before #I will shill for authors if I want #and the fact that I am actually spending money on something #that I can EASILY get online for free #should say something about how big a fan I am of this series #embroidery #schlock mercenary #mandatory failure

if you're into fantasy books, mistorborn by Brandon Sanderson it's amazing, it's a trilogy then another trilogy set in the future of the world, his worldbuilding and commentary is amazing, the magic system is so well developed, his female character journey is so well done and doesn't feel forced, he has a depth in character range lol it's actually the male love interest who is introduced as the 'reading at a party' character, also he did have criticisms of diversity and then when he wrote his next series which is ongoing stormlight archive he's made that very diverse and the main character has depression and it's extremely well done (also the books are in a shared universe but set in different worlds and currently there's hints of crossing over) honestly he deserved the hbo shows not game of thrones oop (seriously when is his cosmere universe going to be adapted it's like over 20 books rn, they are the only ones who could defeat marvel and star wars i fear) he actually finished writing wheel of time when the author died, also in the pandemic he wrote 4 books standalones in his cosmere universe, they were a secret he didn't tell anyone and next year is the year of the Sanderson because he's gonna release one every quarter month and other months he's releasing merch and prints and his conclusion of the second mistborn series is going to come out and the ongoing stormlight series the next book is very high anticipated (spoiler can't tell you why!!)

Added it to my tbr for when I'm in the mood for fantasy!
