A community for fans of Brandon Sanderson!

1. Show respect to others

Every interaction in the community must be kind, respectful, and welcoming. No person should ever feel threatened, harassed, or unwelcome. Do not engage in hate speech, harassment, insults, personal attacks, trolling, or arguing in bad faith. Interpretation of this rule is subject to the moderators' discretion. Please remember the human.

2. Spoilers not permitted in post titles

Post titles must never reveal spoilers. This includes no direct quotes from the books. Title wording should be vague if necessary. Grey areas are up to the moderators' discretion.

3. Use spoiler markup for all spoiler posts

Please cover all spoiler posts in a spoiler tag. Simple posts like Sandershelves do not need to be spoilered. Posts/comments with major spoilers will be removed.

You spoiler tag like this:

::: Spoiler Spoiler Tag

message here

:::

in order to get:

Book Name HereStuff about the book in here

4. Post must be tagged for spoilers

All posts must be tagged to indicate the level of expected spoilers in the link/post and comments. The spoiler scope should include the name of the book or books, such as [Book Name] or [Book Series]. You may also say [No Spoilers] if you don't want any spoilers at all. Be as specific as possible. You can even say [Book Name Ch 34], for example.

5. No excessive reposting

Identical content may not be reposted within, by default, a two week period. This period may be adjusted at the moderators' discretion..

6. Posts must be on topic

Posts must be related to Brandon Sanderson or his works. Posts relating to sensitive topics (such as politics, religions, etc.) will be subject to greater scrutiny. Memes, shitposts, etc. are permitted so long as they are sufficiently relevant. Meta discussions related to the community are generally permitted. Self promotion for money is disallowed. Art, podcasts, videos and other such actual content is allowed.

7. Respect intellectual property

Piracy and copyright infringement are strictly forbidden. With some exceptions, all content must comply with Dragonsteel's licensing and fanart policies. Artwork must be attributed and may not be posted against the artist's wishes. Fan art should be marked as [OC] or credited to the original artist. If AI was used as a tool, please also mark the post [AI: Tool Used], for example [AI: Midjourney].

8. Leaked content is not permitted

Content which is released outside of Brandon Sanderson's wishes is not allowed under any circumstances. Pre-release content publicly released by Brandon, Dragonsteel Entertainment, or a publisher is okay if marked appropriately for spoilers.

Make sure you add spoiler tags as needed.

My favorite character in the Cosmere is Kaladin and my two favorite quotes come from him.

First is from The Way of Kings: You were not shocked when a child knew how to breathe. You were not shocked when a skyeel took flight for the first time. You should not be shocked when you hand Kaladin a spear and he knows how to use it.

Second is from Words of Radiance: Honor is dead, but I'll see what I can do

This should probably be tagged [All Cosmere] or if you haven't read it yet [All Cosmere NO SP3].

Also your spoiler tagging is broken. it's:

::: Spoiler BookName/SpoilerScope

I added the tag, but can't figure out how to make the spoilers work.

::: WoR

Honor is dead, but I'll see what I can do

This somber bit from Tress:

"... every person has a story, Dougs included. The one who died was named Pakson; both he and his sister were Dougs on the Crow’s Song. Pakson was tall and awkward on land— the type of man who seemed to have been born with legs a size too large for his torso. He was bald, despite his relative youth, and his neck kind of merged with his chin— to the point that after meeting him, you’d inexplicably get a hankering for a baguette. He was also unaccountably kind. He was the man who had kept checking on Tress as she clung to the side of the ship. He’d held the rope with several others as Fort pulled her up. He’d always laughed at meals and thanked Fort for the food, no matter how bad it had tasted. He loved music, but couldn’t play, and had always secretly regretted never learning. I wish I’d been in a state of mind to give him lessons. Now he had fallen. We gave his corpse to the spores and sailed onward."

this made my heart hurt the first time I read it.

Sometimes a hypocrite is nothing more than a man in the process of changing.
