USA Today Interview (Verbatim)Monticello, Indiana
What's the most amusing and/or bizarre question a fan has ever asked you?Robert Jordan
Well, I've had a couple young women ask if they could bear my child. That's not the usual kind of question I get—that sort of took me aback, yes.Tags

DragonCon Report - Isabel (Paraphrased)Robert Jordan
Hehe, after those questions, Zae went up to Jordan. She first said something about (I don't know exactly any more), but apparently he took it as an Asmodean question and said I killed him.Tags

KOD Signing Report - Fomu (Paraphrased)Robert Jordan
Second, if anyone asked him who killed Asmodean, he was going to punch them.
I considered asking this myself, just to be 'touched' by the hand of the light. Common sense reined in my desire to take home a 'souvenir' of the evening. A photo later would do instead. Besides, RJ looked as if he had been in a fight recently, having a nice black eye. Not sure if he got on Harriet's bad side (again), but I felt that honor was the better part of valor and did not pose that question when he was signing my book, but I'm getting ahead of myself.

KOD Signing Report - Tremul (Paraphrased)Robert Jordan
Question 2 From RJ: The next person in line is going to ask me who killed Asmodean.
Answer: I'm going to reach over the table and pop him in the face!!! Someone has figured it out and posted his theory onto the web. The theory is based on his deductions, not his guesses (slightly paraphrased).

Question
Who killed Asmodean? Come on, just tell us. Please. I won't tell Harriet you told me.Brandon Sanderson

Ok, if you won't tell us, will you tell us in A Memory of Light?Brandon Sanderson
It will be there. I promise.Tags

I lived in Charleston during Hugo—has that influenced you or the story in any way?Robert Jordan

Alloy of Law Signing Report - Zas (Verbatim)Question
Which I did catch was very entertaining to see like that [regarding the Aluminum Hats].
Brandon Sanderson
I built aluminum to do all sorts of funky things to all the powers, and I actually hadn’t made the connection of tinfoil hats until after I’d built it in, and I was writing it in Alloy of Law, years after I built it in, saying “Wait a minute! I just put tinfoil hats in the book!” (laughter) So I actually built that without thinking that there would be a joke to that.

Alloy of Law Signing Report - Zas (Verbatim)Question
I've heard rumors of a Mistborn movie. Is that true?
Brandon Sanderson
The Mistborn movie, is not even up to handshakes now. We do have a Vin chosen, but it’s not official yet, so I can’t say who it is.
QUESTION
I've heard rumors. Will you confirm or deny this?
BRANDON SANDERSON
What rumor?
QUESTION
Linsey Lohan?
(Wild laughter)
BRANDON SANDERSON
Yeah, I can deny that one. (Continued Laughter) It's not Paris Hilton's dog either.
Yeah, basically it’s where it’s been at for a while, which is we’re at a good version of the screenplay, we’re trying now to get people to look at it in Hollywood.

LOC Signing Report - Dennis Higbee (Paraphrased)Robert Jordan
He also asked me to mention that he would neither confirm or deny the speculation that Bela, in fact killed Asmodean. I replied that I had my own theory; it was Mandarb. His wife chuckled. It was a very pleasant afternoon, and I consider it time well spent, and an honor to meet an author who treats his fans like friends.

Google+ Hangout (Verbatim)Will
The silly question is, who would win in a fight? Vin or Vasher or the Nightblood?
Brandon Sanderson
And who would win in a fight between Vin and Vasher? It would probably depend on who got the jump on who. Vin's a bit more sneaky so I have the feeling that Vasher would be in trouble if it involved sneaking but Vasher is - he only has to get one little cut on you and you're gone so it's, it would probably- my money would be on Vin.
