Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
Thought experiment: If you locked Brandon Sanderson up in a dungeon and told him all he had to do to get out was to not write a novel for three months, would he ever be free again

And he would probably thank you for giving him some time away from any distractions.

You underestimate the zeal of Sanderfans.

I do wonder how much his most popular books have sold. Is that information readily available somewhere like box office numbers for movies or do publishers not announce numbers?

Dude is crazy popular, I did not understand until I saw his line at Dragoncon was longer by far than David Tenants at the height of his Doctor Who popularity.

I do want to find everyone who apparently says WoR is their favorite SA book and just ask "why, what is wrong with you". Don't get me wrong, I love it, but Oathbringer exists.

The $325 pack seemed like the best choice to me by far, but I also don't care about a numbered book.

*edit* Got backer number # 272, got in about as soon as it started functioning.

Backer #11587.

I just went for the secret project box even though I didn't even want a hardcover of the secret project, because I like swag and I love pins. Which is why I then added on the backer pack, the Truthwatcher pack, the complete Radiant spren pin set, and the license plate cover, because I thought that was cool looking.

Also, not surprised that Windrunners are currently way out in first place, and also not surprised that Truthwatchers are in second with the Elsecallers nipping at their heels. Sanderson fans tend to be reserved and bookish sorts of people? You don't say!

All we need is Sanderson to announce an endgame Cosmere multiplayer spaceship game where you can get out of your ship and do allomancy on Roshar's moons then dance a fortnite jig. Promise everything and Star Citizen will finally be dethroned.

Sanderson would teach himself programming and the game would come out in five months

To celebrate the insane launch, they sent all backers an .STL file. I can't open those, but from the description, it is of... the stick.
