Is it mormon to have a lot of spanking, or is that just a reference to Sanderson finishing the series?

Ugh I thought Robert Jordan was mormon as well as Brandon Sanderson
Well I guess it does have less sex and brutal violence than GoT right?

Assassin's Creed games had the protagonist in a distinctive white hood and nobody gave a poo poo. I'm sure they'll figure something out.

There are probably more quality TV shows on now than there ever has been. Golden Age!

I was briefly into Sanderson when he was first announced as the guy to finish the books and I wanted to get a taste for his style and abilities. I've read two of the Stormlight books and the original Mystborn and I don't think I'll ever read anything else he's done. Apparently the Elantris sequel is good?
There's no Elantris sequel, though there is a novella set on the same world in a different region with different characters. Often regarded as Sanderson's best work, yes. It won a Hugo in 2013: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emperor%27s_Soul

By way of comparison, Brandon Sanderson had sold a total of 7 million books world wide (across all his books, excluding WoT) as of 2015. (That's about 15 books, including a bunch of YA stuff)

edit: according to this: https://thewertzone.blogspot.com/2018/12/the-sff-all-time-sales-list-revised.html
According to your second link, Sanderson is at 11 million.

edit: the first link is from 2015

Actually it sounds pretty terrible to me: https://fanlore.org/wiki/The_Fan_Fiction_Rant

quote:

“What is the harm in it?”

I might counter by demanding to know ‘What is the good of it?’ I’ll resist that temptation.

Fan fiction is like any other form of identity theft. It injures the name of the party whose identity is stolen. When it’s financial identity theft, the thief can ruin your credit rating. When it’s creative identity theft, fan fiction can sully your credit with your readers. Anyone who read fan fiction about Harry Potter, for instance, would have an entirely different idea of what those stories are about than if he had simply read J.K. Rowling’s books.
:lol: that "fan fiction is like any other form of identify theft", are you loving kidding me

edit: reading this whole thing, she sounds pretty nutso, asserting that writing fan fiction must mean you think the author really screwed up, comparing writing fan fiction to doing creepy, perverted things with family reunion photos or posting porn under someone else's name, etc.
