Questioner: Now that Skyward and Reckoners are over, and it seems like Apocalypse Guard is never gonna get written, is there anything you can tell us about the connection between their multiverses?

Brandon Sanderson: I've kinda been playing loose and freaky. Multiverses are annoying, right?

When I wrote Steelheart, I realized, "Ah, multiverses are annoying." And the more I worked on Apocalypse Guard, the more I realized I didn't want to lean into this. And I'm glad I didn't, because as certain media properties have shown us, multiverses are just real hard to juggle and keep any sense of weight or value to the actions of the characters. And so, one of the reasons I didn't want to release Apocalypse Guard is I want to rethink all of that.

I do prefer things like I did in Frugal Wizard, where I'm like, "There are certain stable realities. It's not an infinite number of realities; there's an infinite number of possible realities, but some of them are solid. Some of them are real." So you can find alternate versions of yourself, just not an infinite number of them.

So that's one of the places I was going with that. And Apocalypse Guard did lean into this and start to progress that idea. I think one way you could do a multiverse (kind of have your cake and eat it, too) is just be like, "There's not four billion versions of you. There might be seven." And things like that, that are what we call stable, and "real." Which allows you to kind of play with that idea of multiple versions of yourself without everything going out the window in terms of... You know, you guys have seen Rick and Morty. It doesn't matter if we die or if we mess up the plan. There's another one over there. We can only do this an infinite number of times. So, that was one of the things I was playing with, there.

And then, multiverses are just, like, so overdone. Everything Everywhere All At Once did the best one, and we don't need to even try. But that movie is proof you can still have emotional connection and power in a story that is about alternate versions of yourself. And so it is possible.

So what's the connection? I do kind of have in my head that each of these non-Cosmere properties kind of are on the continuum with this multiverse and are shades of one another, and Apocalypse Guard was gonna kind of be jumping between them. But whether or not we'll get to that, I don't know, because I certainly don't want to have Skyward be ruined by the existence of multiverses.

I like how Skyward turned out; the whole series, I'm really proud of. So that's the question mark in the back of my head.

I'm reading "the reckoners" and I'm thinking David is kinda autistic-coded??? Like, he's so mind focussed on the epics and their powers, in a impressive way, not only "i-want-get-my-revenge-so-i-will-do-my-entire-life-about-that way, he's very thoughtful with details and also he completely sucks doing metaphors and analogies

renegade and the reckoners as vampires

HEAR ME OUT

you ever think about how seemlessly the Renegades (Marissa Meyer) and the Reckoners (Brandon Sanderson) could transform into vampires/vampire hunter aus???

The Reckoners is the easiest, just make Epics vampires. High Epics -> Elder Vampires and Minor Epics -> lesser. Just turn the Gifters into people who can turn others into vampires. It's so easy and IMAGINE THE GOTHIC AESTHETIC?? IMAGINE PROF TIA ABRAHAM AND DAVID WEARING 1700S CLOTHING?? PROF'S LAB COAT REPLACED WITH SOMETHING MORE AKIN TO THOSE LONG PIRATE COATS???

And the Renegades is the same way! Instead of heroes and villians with superpowers it becomes: the Anacharists (+ otherd obviously) are vampires, and the Renegades are just vampire hunters. And so the Renegades can still keep that "ehh kinda sus" structure it could be a passed down tradition so it's more exclusive and people trying to enter are often mocked since there would be those with 3 generations of vampire hunters (probably Genissa lets be fr) compared to Oscar or Ruby who are newbies to the busniess and had to be selected/handpicked (so the trials thing still exists, tho maybe it works more like the hunger games where its random or something similar, so keeping the "hey renegades arent that good of a group" thing going)

So yeah if anyone wants to write these feel free I just needed to point out how seemlessly these superhero/superpower stories can transfer into vampire tales and still keep the story beats and themes for the most part

One of these days I’m going to have to sit down and seriously work out what a Worm/Reckoners Trilogy crossover would look like. The mechanical underpinnings are there. The thematic intersection is there. There isn’t necessarily a market within the worm fandom for this, the pipeline generally goes Reckoners-> Worm and not vice versa and there are very good reasons for that- but damn it, this is important to me.
