TRANSCRIPT

Hey everyone, Brandon here with your weekly update.

Let’s start with the book updates. Stormlight 5 is at 68%. Moving along with my deadline being December 15th on this. Keep following along and see if I make it. It’s looking really good but next week I will have to stop and do revisions. Last week of August which I believe will be next week, which means we will slow down a little bit for that week.

Skyward Legacy is at 34%.

Couple other cool announcements for you! For the first time ever, all of our leatherbounds are in stock! Not all signed though, all unsigned Kellyn tells me. But for the fist item we have all the leatherbounds for sale in stock. And we’re working on getting some new signed ones for you. I’ve been signing Way of Kings lately. So we will periodically have signed editions. but no guarantees when. There’s lots of things for me to sign.

Mistborn and Cytoverse merch is also back in stock, and they wanted me to show you these wonderful pins. We’ve got a “I Heart Hemalurgy” and the heart is spiked. We’ve got a “Keep Calm Burn Brass” and we have a “There’s Always Another Secret” pin. We think they are very nifty and hope that you enjoy them.

The Warbreaker Box packing is going really well. Warehouse says we’re at 70% packed at time of filming. Our last item did come in so we have everything, we’re packing up and getting ready to start sending that in a week or so. We have already sent out all the ones for this month so we’re ahead! Indeed we did get our second truck load of Secret Project 4, which means we’ve had 2 truckloads so far of SP4. We need like 7 or 8 to fully fulfill, but they are rolling in hopefully very consistently. We’ll keep you up to date on that as we get them in.

Dragonsteel 2023, our convention, November 20-21, the map is on social media so check it out! We have nearly twice the amount of space this year as we had last year. Should be a little less crowded.

Some fun Mistborn news to share this week, as of this month the first book has now sold 2 million copies in all formats in just US and Canada. It’s an interesting milestone. Worldwide we’re over 20 million Brandon Sanderson book but this is US and Canada, 2 million of the first book. That’s kinda fun! The Lost Metal is $2.99, link is in the description, I’m going to assume they didn’t put that here, that’s on Kindle as Kindle Deals. My guess is that this is US only. Links will be in the description. We do try to watch for those when they happen worldwide, but a lot of these do happen with the US publisher doing the promotion.

We finished recording the Secret Project 3 Book Club, it’s a very special one since my wife is leading it. That will be going out in September. Try to finish your book! You all should have copies now. Try to finish your book by September, you can follow along in the Book Club.

Last thing we have is our podcast winners from Dan and my podcast, the dumb things that we do that are kind of fun. We have on our food heist, this is round number 2, my favorite The Snackaderms has lost. Because the Gator Gourmands as Dan assumed have indeed been victorious. This is the groundskeeper, this is quite the story, so gator Gourmands was 64% and the Snackaderms we 36% so they are going to have to sit on the sidelines. They made it to round 2 but weren’t able to be victorious.

For bad story idea, very close one here, Jack the Carjacking Car has defeated Planetary Shenanigans. I’m not terribly surprised on because I think Jack would make a pretty good t-shirt. The other one was partially an inspiration for Secret Project 4. You’ll be able to find out, I’ve changed it quite a bit, but you’ll be able to see that that story idea may have actually turned into a good story idea. You’ll have to tell me if it did turn into a good story idea. Secret Project 4 has some reference to that.

We’re also going to do Week 10s winners because we’re behind by a week. Announcing the Food Heist winner, we have an upset, the Caserous Casks [sorry I don’t know what he said here], the soon to be a major motion picture has been trounced by Do Not Steal the King’s Potatoes, Just Kidding Please Do. 78% to 22%. One of our largest disparities and it was an upset. The King’s Potatoes, it will make a good shirt if it wins, I’m not surprised on that one. It’s just asking to be a t-shirt. Do not Steal the King’s Potatoes is our vidtor.

And in Bad Story ideas, Titanic 2: Sink Harder has defeated Luke Gorgeous and the Multiverse of Mediocrity. I am fond of both of these stories, I’m sad to see Luke gorgeous go. Maybe we will still do something with that eventually. if you aren’t following along, this is the weird story about certain film maker traveling back in time to change other people’s films to make them worse, has been defeated by Titanic 2: Sink Harder. I mean it’s really hard to beat Titanic 2: Sink Harder for just t-shirt possibilities. That was 60% to 40%. And if you have no idea what I’ve been talking about, watch Intentionally Blank, where we talk about weird things

I will be back next week with another weekly update, thank you so much.
