People have internalized the mindset of Sanderson's mormon fans: fiction can be either sexless or it can be erotica self-published on Amazon. Erotic imagination is an important thing for an author to have. Umberto Eco and Italo Calvino owe a lot to Borges, but are fundamentally more exciting writers because they're not monkishly celibate in their writing like Borges.

What kind of erotic imagining do you think would improve Sanderson's books? Can you post some examples?

Maybe BOTL could try the demon rape scene from Sword of Truth. If you don't know which one don't worry, there's too many in those books to remember them all.

Proteus Jones posted:Goons, you keep engaging him. This please. M_Gargantua posted:I finished Skyward in two days and it definitely left me wanting a sequel. I do think the finale was very abrupt, very little trail off back into normalcy and aftermath. But I guess that is more of a YA thing and they do expect to have the next book out next year and the final book in 2020. I agree with every single thing in this post! Pretty excited that the second draft of Skyward 2 is already completed, so not long to wait for the sequel. On another note, I recently decided to go back and do a re-read of Stormlight from the beginning, with the benefit of having read Edgedancer and Oathbringer since the first time. The level of foreshadowing that you start picking up is incredible. I wonder at what point in the 10 book series we'll have enough hints to dig out the ending that he's buried in the first two books. Re: Sanderson's characterisation being poor/non-existent - I have to say I genuinely don't get this. There are many examples of great characterisation in his writing (e.g. Hrathen, Jasnah, Dalinar, Kaladin, Pattern, Spensa, MeLaan, Wayne, etc). It's not his strongest point as a writer and he's not as good at this as some others but it's a far cry from being his weakest point too. Contrast that to say, David Eddings for example. Once you've read The Belgariad/Mallorean, you've read everything.

“We had this fellow called Magnus. Count Magnus Wolfram. Who was bald, tattoed, looked like a comic book hero. And I got them all in a room, and I said, ‘Look, does anyone in this room know a count? No. Does anybody in this room know anybody called Magnus? No. Does anybody really want to be in this guy’s skin? Since this is a first person play, why would you want to be in this man’s skin? Why would you want to play [as him]?’ And so we threw him out, and I said, ‘Look. You’ve got a gay man in charge here. Bring me somebody I want to sleep with. Bring me somebody fabulously sexy.’ Sanderson's characters are the same as Count Magnus Wolfram. Absolutely unfuckable. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

The quote is also extra relevant because Sanderson has written a hundred aristocrats without ever knowing one in person.

“This Kaladin," comes the cry from the furthest reaches of the Cosmere, and has even now been found inscribed on a mysterious deep space probe thought to originate from an alien galaxy at a distance too hideous to contemplate, "what is he, man or mouse? Is he interested in nothing more than spears and the wider issues of life? Has he no spirit? Has he no passion? Does he not, to put it in a nutshell, gently caress?”

Frankly, the lack of a passionate and erotic sex scene between Kaladin and Adolin has ruined my enjoyment of this series. Give us what we demand Sanderson, or we're through!

I don't have anything official but here's a post he made on Reddit:Brandon Sanderson posted:Each of the books stand pretty well on their own, though the final one (this will probably be four books, not three) is a lot more reliant on the previous ones.

In between writing thousand page doorstops he likes to write lighter fare to recharge. That's how the 2nd Mistborn trilogy and the Reckoners books came about. The Stormlight books take a lot of mental energy to write and if he didn't switch it up he probably would turn into a GRRM with increasingly longer gaps between books.
