@BrandSanderson I know you see my tweets. Show some respect toward Mr. Jordan and release his notes on the completion of the series. #shady
BrandSanderson Sun Apr 15
@TheGoodTroll I'm sorry. I often miss tweets. I haven't seen any of your others. I would be happy to release the notes if Harriet allows it.
@BrandSanderson Thank you. It would bring joy to my heart to feel his words on the ending of the greatest story told. No disrespect intendedBrandSanderson Sun Apr 15
@TheGoodTroll I understand. I plan to push Harriet on this more once the last book is out.
@BrandSanderson When is the final book coming out Brandon?

@smarta24 @BrandSanderson January 18th 2013.
Since that is so close to my birthday is there a way to get a signed copy?BrandSanderson Sun Apr 15
@smarta24 Of AMOL? Shouldn't be hard. I do signed copies of all my books through a local store. We will post details on my blog.
howietalkie Sun Apr 15
Enjoying 'The Final Empire' by @BrandSanderson, first book of the Mistborn trilogy.
BrandSanderson Sun Apr 15
@howietalkie Hope you enjoy the ending.
Green_Monger Sun Apr 15
@BrandSanderson your tweets inspire me to publish my book - @Foobadoo would be ecstatic if we could do such things and meet such people.
BrandSanderson Sun Apr 15
@Green_Monger Best of luck with your book.
BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
More stealth-signed books in Melbourne. Watermark books on the way to gates 1-12 has tgs, twok, tofm signed.
BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
There was an Elantris too, but a guy saw me signing it and bought it. :)
BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
Yes, my (new) shaving cream made it through security this time. I do find it strange that nobody ever asks you for ID when flying over here.
pandom_ Mon Apr 16
@BrandSanderson It's a bit relaxed considering it's domestic - Nice not having TSA screenings?
BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
@pandom_ Sure is.
Walamor Mon Apr 16
@BrandSanderson Hey, just wanted to say I recently started Way of Kings after enjoying your Mistborn books and I can't put it down! Thanks!
BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
@Walamor Thanks!
krizazy Mon Apr 16
@BrandSanderson It's not like you live in nazi germany where they'd ask you for your papers just to travel . . . oh wait.
BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
@krizazy Heh, you've got us there. Still, it is kind of odd that they don't check to see if the right people are getting on the plane.
schlegelosaurus Mon Apr 16
@BrandSanderson Just bought TWOK today! Late as usual, but that To Read list never seems to get any smaller!
BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
@schlegelosaurus Hope you enjoy it. :)
BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
How to spot the American: he is the guy who thought it was autumn in Australia and brought a coat. Silly guy.
D3nted Mon Apr 16
@BrandSanderson where are you in Australia?? How long are you here for?? Would so love to go to a book signing!!
BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
@D3nted I'm in Sydney on Wed and Gold Coast over the weekend. Details on my website.
borichu Mon Apr 16
@BrandSanderson will you be visiting Canberra at all while you're in the country?
BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
@borichu Only Sydney and Gold Coast this time, I'm afraid.
rose_oz Mon Apr 16
@BrandSanderson you shoulda been asked for photo ID when booking ur luggage in when flying domestic in Aussie - weird that they didnt
BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
@rose_oz Checked in via a terminal, carryon luggage only.
Mjescarcida Mon Apr 16
@BrandSanderson I just finished reading The Way of Kings what a great book i loved it :-) . You are truly storm blessed my friend
BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
@Mjescarcida Thank you!
BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
All right Sydney, terminal 1 gate 6 Watermarks books has stealth signed copies WoT books and Way of Kings. If you fly through, have a look.
timothygarris Mon Apr 16
@BrandSanderson I'm going to start compulsively checking every airport bookstore I go through. So, thanks for that.
BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
@timothygarris Ha. I do tweet them all, so it is unlikely you will find one by accident. :)
PeterAhlstrom Mon Apr 16
OK, I've screenshotted Crunchyroll's SD Bleach vs Hulu's 480p Bleach, and Hulu is blurrier and slightly zoomed in. Guess I'll not watch Hulu.
BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
@PeterAhlstrom Curse you for telling me about DBZ abridged. I was planning to be productive today.
Terez27 Mon Apr 16
@BrandSanderson @PeterAhlstrom Team Four Star? It's freaking awesome. Starting from the beginning? doo-doooo-doo-doo-doo CHARGIN MY ATTACKBrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
@Terez27 @PeterAhlstrom "Are you a Yoshi?"
Muazimus_Prime Mon Apr 16
@BrandSanderson are you ever coming thru boston? Cuz I have a plinth set up in my basement just waiting for one of your stealth signed books
BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
@Muazimus_Prime I got to Boston on the last tour, so I suspect I will be there in the winter for AMOL.
@BrandSanderson for the last of WOT amol is there any chance of you stopping near silicon valley in the bay area of northern california
BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
@M36gPanda Good chance. I think I might be visiting Google. They're there, aren't they?
datdudegil Mon Apr 16
@BrandSanderson Do you stealth sign any of the WoT books you didn't write? Seems silly, but I think it'd be cool.
BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
@datdudegil I did not. I avoid signing those. Doesn't seem respectful.
im4rco Mon Apr 16
@BrandSanderson any chance of any visits to the UK for signings?
BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
@im4rco I'll be back to the UK for certain. Maybe not until next spring.
LaylaMessner Mon Apr 16
@BrandSanderson re: stealth-signing - do you sneak in & start signing while the clerk isn't looking, or what?
BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
@LaylaMessner Yup.
intchanterswife Mon Apr 16
Thank you @BrandSanderson for reducing my degree of separation to @wilwheaton to two. I only hope someday it goes down to one :)
BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
@intchanterswife Lol.
BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
Okay, Sydney. I have tomorrow night free. Who's up for a BYO packs Magic draft in the lobby of my hotel? (The Westin Martin Place.)
MaverickTempest Mon Apr 16
@BrandSanderson just random packs or byo from a given selection of sets?
BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
@MaverickTempest I'd say just any three packs you can find. I have some M12 and New Phyrexia, and I'd use three of one or the other.
MaverickTempest Mon Apr 16
@BrandSanderson Interesting - I've never played a draft like that - I'd be interested how it would play - sadly, I'm 1000s of miles away
BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
@MaverickTempest They honestly don't work as well as clean drafts, but this late notice, I'll just tell people to bring what they can.
Ixuvia Mon Apr 16
@BrandSanderson I'm in! Bit rusty on MtG though, is Dark Ascension what I should be looking at?
BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
@Ixuvia Well, the thing is, we'll probably draft whatever people bring. DA is a good one to look at. It's the most recent set.BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
@Ixuvia I have three packs of M12 (core set) and New Phyrexia (Artifact set). We'll see what others bring.
@BrandSanderson Right on, I'll head out and pick up a few tomorrow morning.BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
@Ixuvia Cool! We'll do it at 6 pm in the lobby. We'll find a table somewhere.BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
@Ixuvia Grab three packs of whatever they have, but if the place has one of the new Mirrodin sets or New Phyrexia, grab those.
arcadiagt5 Mon Apr 16
@BrandSanderson Has anyone come even vaguely close to beating you this trip?
BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
@arcadiagt5 This trip, not so far. But I've been lucky. :)
ericdalgliesh Mon Apr 16
@BrandSanderson Count me in! erm. What time were you planning the draft, and what edition?
BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
@ericdalgliesh You make #5! Thanks for joining. I have New Phyrexia, so I've been telling people to grab some Scars block packs.BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
@ericdalgliesh If not that, then M12. Starting at 6 in the hotel lobby. See you there!
BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
So far, we have 5 people (counting me) for the magic draft tomorrow night at my hotel. Have spots for a couple more.
beancounter1274 Mon Apr 16
@BrandSanderson Would that I could . . . how do you like the picture of my little trolloc?? They are cute at that age . . . lol!!BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16

@JerryTheHore Sorry. Not until Thursday.
elspethallison Mon Apr 16
@BrandSanderson I really, really, really want to come but a) I don't know how to play & b) it's expensive to get to Sydney from the BlueMts.
BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
@elspethallison Ha, no problem! It's fine. :)
thetavius Mon Apr 16
@BrandSanderson okay so i have been reading your books for 4 years and following you online for 2. is there any point in time where you stop
BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
@thetavius I like to keep busy.
Ixuvia Mon Apr 16
@BrandSanderson Do we need to bring in a stack of basic lands for the draft tomorrow?
BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
@Ixuvia Thanks for the reminder! Bring as many as you can. I have some, but it will be better if someone else brings some too.
JamesLuckman Mon Apr 16
@BrandSanderson That thing with Luc you asked me not to tweet. Can I put it in the Signing Report? :D
BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
@JamesLuckman No. That's the point of saying not to share it . . .
BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
I'll be signing in Sydney at the Dendy Opera Quays Wednesday night. Also, other updates. link
ChrisComerford3 Mon Apr 16
@BrandSanderson Hi Mr Sanderson, would you still happen to have a spot open for Magic tonight? And by "packs" you just mean boosters, right?
BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
@ChrisComerford3 You are in! Three booster packs from Scars block, if you can find them. 6 at my hotel lobby.
BrandSanderson Mon Apr 16
Just did a quick interview for ABC radio, then some stock signings at some bookstores. Now back at the hotel to work on your book, wot fans.
BrandSanderson Tue Apr 17
Still working away here. In one hour, off to play some Magic. :)
BrandSanderson Tue Apr 17
Okay, Magic is on. Going down to check for others who showed up to play. We are on the 6th floor near the business center if you need us.
BrandSanderson Tue Apr 17
I'm going to head back up there. I think we have everyone. Tweet me if you come to play and can't find us.
steffsr Tue Apr 17
@BrandSanderson Do you know when Q&A will be at Supanova GC yet? It's my niece, Aviendha's :), 1st bday that Sun so we'll only be there Sat.
BrandSanderson Tue Apr 17

BrandSanderson Tue Apr 17
Magic night is going well! A shot of us playing, and of my feet. pic
BrandSanderson Wed Apr 18
Magic was played, and it was awesome. Eric was the winner for the night, though I took second. The games were great—many very close ones.

The room we're in has a copy of the table and chairs below bolted to the ceiling. pic

@BrandSanderson As in Bay Area Google? Are you doing any signings while you're here?
BrandSanderson Wed Apr 18
@DHStom Sydney Google, I'm afraid.
Stepto Tue Apr 17
@BrandSanderson I'm just about to finish Hero of Ages, seriously is the trilogy adapted for screenplay? If not I would totally volunteer.
BrandSanderson Wed Apr 18
@Stepto Do you do screenwritting? I wasn't aware that was among your many talents. :)
BrandSanderson Wed Apr 18
Hey, all! At 1:00 Sydney time (in about 20 min) I will be doing a nifty thing on Google+, answering fan questions. link
BrandSanderson Wed Apr 18

paulomalley Wed Apr 18
@BrandSanderson This is seriously going to increase piracy and decrease sales. Fix it! Please! AMoL EBook Release link
BrandSanderson Thu Apr 19
@paulomalley I'm afraid you have to take that up with Harriet. I've done what I can.
BrandSanderson Thu Apr 19
Stealth-signed books time. One Elantris and several of my WoT books in Terminal 3 Sydney domestic, Watermark books by gate 5.
EmberDione Wed Apr 18

@EmberDione Hope to be there for AMOL.
b_mully Wed Apr 18

@LadyOrdith (Also, I think I'm coming to your con in the near future.)
hamms41 Wed Apr 18
@BrandSanderson will the kindle edition of amol be released at the same time, as the hardcover?
BrandSanderson Thu Apr 19
@hamms41 I'm afraid that Harriet has decided there should be a delayed ebook release.
BrandSanderson Thu Apr 19
On the plane for Gold Coast. See you guys soon.
Ottcomputing Wed Apr 18
@BrandSanderson Do you enjoy travelling as much as you do? You seem so down to earth, I wonder sometimes if it wears on normal people.
BrandSanderson Thu Apr 19
@Ottcomputing It does get wearying after a couple of weeks away. But I feel it is important.
BrandSanderson Thu Apr 19
In Gold Coast, Australia for Supanova. Here's my schedule. link
BrandSanderson Fri Apr 20
On my way to the Gold Coast Supanova.

@samista88 Thank you so much.
Terez27 Fri Apr 20
OMG Taim's palace is made of Shayol Ghul rock! According to a report on @BrandSanderson in Australia. (That was my question. :p)
BrandSanderson Sat Apr 21
@Terez27 I spent a long time trying to figure out if you had secret motives for asking that.
chris24ras Fri Apr 20
@BrandSanderson, just finished The Way of Kings. It was amazing, thanks for all your effort.
BrandSanderson Sat Apr 21
@chris24ras Thank you!
rose_oz Fri Apr 20
@BrandSanderson do you get to ride on a cool bus again?!?
BrandSanderson Sat Apr 21
@rose_oz Yup. Today, Wil was slipping into his "evil Wil Wheaton" persona.
elspethallison Sat Apr 21
@BrandSanderson If a small (short) girl called Amy comes up to you with stickers for you to sign for her friend Beth; they're for me.
BrandSanderson Sat Apr 21
@elspethallison I don't think she has come yet . . .
@BrandSanderson She sent me a text to say that you wouldn't sign them. :/BrandSanderson Sun Apr 22
@elspethallison ? Stickers, right? I don't remember anyone asking me about stickers. I sign those sorts of things all the time.
BrandSanderson Sat Apr 21
I've been told that someone here at Supanova has some of the WoT jewelry for sale. Going to go check it out. Booth 41(?).
BrandSanderson Sat Apr 21
Fanmail of the day: someone asking if they can use Allomancy in the book they want to write.
BrandSanderson Sat Apr 21
My reply: I have nothing against fanfic, so one can use my magic systems in not-for-profit, fan endeavors. [Assistant Peter's clarification: When Brandon says "not-for-profit" here, what he means is "don't charge money for fanworks."]
BrandSanderson Sat Apr 21
However, if you are writing something to sell, you should develop your own system.
MonkeySloth Sat Apr 21
Needed a break from all the tan I was painting so I started Sherlock's face and decided to try out something new. pic
BrandSanderson Sat Apr 21
@MonkeySloth I need to get you a fig, right? Do you know which one you want?
@BrandSanderson you can get me any souvenir you want but if it's a mini look for imbrian arts.BrandSanderson Sat Apr 21
@MonkeySloth Will do. If I find them, should I just grab the coolest one?
@BrandSanderson don't care which one as I can't get that over here very easily.BrandSanderson Sat Apr 21
@MonkeySloth Got it. This show room is like comiccon, so there might be someone selling them.
samista88 Sat Apr 21
@BrandSanderson I live on reading fantasy, hwevr I'v read most of urs, Tad Williams, Terry Goodkind, etc. What would u recommend next?
BrandSanderson Sat Apr 21
@samista88 Anne McCaffrey, Pat Rothfuss, Brent Weeks, Robin Hobb, David Farland, Melanie Rawn (her Sunrunner books in particular).
Hollowson Sat Apr 21
@BrandSanderson Brandon, how does someone get to sell WOT merchandise without getting sued? Cos I'd like to sell some as well
BrandSanderson Sat Apr 21
@Hollowson Become a Badali Jewelry retailer. They have permission, and Harriet gets royalties.

My dinner companions. Eat your heart out Rand. pic
BrandSanderson Sun Apr 22
@dragonmount Wait, aren't you Rand? (Or is this Jen?)
cheeler Sat Apr 21
Anyone know of a "story thus far" sum for the #WheelofTime series? Want a recap of some of the early books. @BrandSanderson @swordandlaser
BrandSanderson Sun Apr 22
@cheeler Try the WoTsummary website. (I think I got that right.)
BrandSanderson Sun Apr 22
So, my brother likes a particular Australian company's mini figs. Anyone know if a booth at Supanova sells figures by Imbrian Arts?
Mark_J_Quinn Sat Apr 21
@BrandSanderson I've been reading WOT for 20 years and something just hit me. Where are all the Aiel children?
BrandSanderson Sun Apr 22
@Mark_J_Quinn The non-combatants of the Aiel stayed behind in the Waste, I believe. (Book Four)
BrandSanderson Sun Apr 22
Our Mistborn from yesterday has become an Aes Sedai (with warder). pic
jdoug49 Sun Apr 22
@BrandSanderson Are you able to do A Memory of Light reading durring your panel at supanova today?
BrandSanderson Sun Apr 22
@jdoug49 I'm afraid not. Harriet would rather it be special to Jordancon.
BrandSanderson Sun Apr 22
I don't know if you'll be able to read this, but I got a letter from a koloss today . . . pic
howardtayler Sat Apr 21
Black Kraken from Dread Fleet is now finished. pic
BrandSanderson Sun Apr 22
@howardtayler Did you get that tweet I sent on behalf of your fans?
@BrandSanderson I did. Thanks!BrandSanderson Sun Apr 22
@howardtayler Cool. Also, I can't believe you killed Schlock.
@BrandSanderson Structurally, it's a "Wash" moment. Now I can kill ANYBODY. ;-)BrandSanderson Sun Apr 22
@howardtayler But killing a main character! Who would do something like that? Oh, wait . . .
BrandSanderson Sun Apr 22
A mistborn (and two Jedi) at my signing today. :) pic

Off to do my reading and Q&A at Supanova. Last one of the tour.
BrandSanderson Sun Apr 22
If the lady and gentleman who were forbidden to enter my talk because of their pram are watching, contact me. I have something for you.
SorkataniLoki Sat Apr 21
@BrandSanderson - They couldn't enter because they had a pram??? Was it carrying nuclear explosives or something?BrandSanderson Sun Apr 22
@SorkataniLoki Yeah, I don't get it either.
MonkeySloth Sat Apr 21
@BrandSanderson I'm taking it you didn't have any luck on those miniatures? I should have ordered them but decided to save for Gencon.
BrandSanderson Sun Apr 22
@MonkeySloth I've looked everywhere. Mostly movie and anime toys. No figs other than one place with warhammer.
BrandSanderson Sun Apr 22
Bart on Facebook asked for AMoL status, so I thought I'd post for all of you. Revision is going well, but is a lot of work. Halfway done.
Legendary_Dainc Sun Apr 22
@BrandSanderson : Please please please come to Brisbane, Australia at some point? :D
BrandSanderson Sun Apr 22
@Legendary_Dainc Uh, I was there today. (Kind of. Gold Coast.) That is pretty close, as these things go . . . picBrandSanderson Sun Apr 22
@Legendary_Dainc Also, I don't know why my phone pasted that photo on to that tweet to you.
