Interview: 2011
Twitter 2011 (WoT) (Verbatim)BRANDON SANDERSON (7 NOVEMBER 2011)
Wheel of time fans. Big news for you. We are going to do a great hunt this tour. Details to come on my website soon.BRANDON SANDERSON
I will give out the first Great Hunt Code at the midnight release tonight. I will tweet how you can get it soon.BRANDON SANDERSON (8 NOVEMBER)
Want the Great Hunt clue? I'm thinking of a WoT character who has a viewpoint for the 1st time in A Memory of Light. Make a guess in person here at BYU.BRANDON SANDERSON
First person to guess right IN PERSON to me tonight gets the clue. One guess each. Good luck!BRANDON SANDERSON
Nobody has guessed the name right yet for the code. If you have a guess, and you know someone here, call them and have them ask.TEREZ
So @BrandSanderson is doing #wotgh again. Don't forget the tag. If you're at his signing guess Taim or Logain. One or the other guaranteed.GLEN GARETS
Wrong. It was Tam al'Thor.TEREZ
Do you know who got the clue?GLEN GARETS
My friend Kyle and I.TEREZ
But did @BrandSanderson give you a code to enter on his website? That's what he did last time, and it looks like it's entered.GLEN GARETS
Well then I guess you know that gave him one then...BRANDON SANDERSON
It has been guessed. The character with a viewpoint for the first time in A Memory of Light is Tam.17 SHARD
I got a picture of him with Brandon and the code, but no name.—Kerry17TH SHARD
Here's a pic of the clue itself: http://t.co/SWhnyD7rBRANDON SANDERSON (9 NOVEMBER)
I put up a blog post about the new Wheel of Time Great Hunt that kicked off Tuesday morning. http://brandonsanderson.com/blog/1032/New-Wheel-of-Time-Great-HuntBRANDON SANDERSON
I will have a couple #wotgh codes for the signing today. However, until then, know that several of these are very guessable...BRANDON SANDERSON
I will give out the first Great Hunt Code at the midnight release tonight. I will tweet how you can get it soon.BRANDON SANDERSON
San Diego airport bookstore (near Gate 35) has signed Alloy of Law and Towers. No #wotgh clues, as it is behind security.BRANDON SANDERSON
If I do hide one behind security, I'll pick a major hub. A former Stormleader did find me here and ask for a code. (I gave her one.)KATIE FREY
Thanks for code #2 @BrandSanderson!! See you at the signing! =DKATIE
Code Number 2: TREES BY COUNTRYBRANDON SANDERSON
First person who guesses the name of the first viewpoint in the A Memory of Light prologue and tells me in person gets a code.BRANDON SANDERSON
This will be hard as they are a new character. So guess who they work for, and that will be enough.BRANDON SANDERSON
For the clue: this person is in someone's army. Guess which army. I don't know if you will get it tonight.BRANDON SANDERSON
You have to ask in person for this clue, guys.BRANDON SANDERSON
Nobody guessed the right army. Here is a list of tonight's guesses. http://twitpic.com/7cmqdbBRANDON SANDERSON
Also, "The Dark One's" army or "Army of the Light" does not count. The army's specific name or direct commander is needed.BRANDON SANDERSON (10 NOVEMBER)
I'll do some #wotgh clues for internet guessing soon. I want a few of the codes to be revealed first so you can get a feel for their theme.BRANDON SANDERSON
Nobody has guessed (in person to me) the army the first Viewpoint in A Memory of Light comes from. Come to my Huntington Beach signing tonight & guess.BRANDON SANDERSON (11 NOVEMBER)
Nobody has guessed the army of the starting viewpoint of A Memory of Light yet to win a #wotgh code. I'll post the list of guessed armies soon.BRANDON SANDERSON
For now, I have a clue for you to try guessing a clue on-line. You might want to coordinate with Theoryland or Dragonmount on this.BRANDON SANDERSON
Here's your clue for the internet code (different from the army one): Felix Pax. Try your guess on the Great Hunt page of my website.BRANDON SANDERSON
As always, @terez27 has an excellent summary page up for you all. Is there a list of failed guesses somewhere? http://bit.ly.wotghROB MOREAU
I took a picture of the list last night, I was just about the last person through, so I think we are up to date :)BRANDON SANDERSON
Did you upload the picture anywhere for me to retweet?ROB
List of armies: http://twitpic.com/7cyrd9 and there is a list of failed attempts on the same document: http://bit.ly/t4HgxVBRANDON SANDERSON
List of wrong guesses last night for the #wotgh code. This one must be guessed in person. http://twitpic.com/7d5uu6BRANDON SANDERSON (12 NOVEMBER)
The army clue for #wotgh has been guessed! I won't post it here; some don't like spoilers. It should be on Terez's page I posted yesterday.BRANDON SANDERSON
Felix's clue has yet to be guessed, even by him. People have been close, though. A hint is this: (more)BRANDON SANDERSON
The code, which comes from RJ's notes, uses a word that I believe was NEVER used in the series.BRANDON SANDERSON
Many are thinking the word is "Magic." That is the right idea—but not the right word.COREY PODWINSKI
Circus?BRANDON SANDERSON
You are a very smart person. Now you need some more words to go with your guess. Input them on my site.FELIX PAX
Invalid #wotgh codes: Circus Folk; Circus Show Folk; Seanchan Circus of Blood; Southern Circus; Circus of Winds; Imperial CircusBRANDON SANDERSON (13 NOVEMBER)
You are very close. It's more simple than that. Keep trying; I view this code as being 'yours.'BRANDON SANDERSON
Also, it has come to my attention that people might be poking fun at you because I singled you out. If it's the case, I'm sorry.BRANDON SANDERSON
It wasn't my intention; I just thought you, in specific, would be interested in this code...BRANDON SANDERSON
Back in the US! I hid a code in the Simply Books at MSP airport gate G15. This is behind security, so get it if you are flying through.BRANDON SANDERSON
MSP has signed books in both the G15 bookstore and the one on the middle of the C gates. (C12ish?) Code hidden in the G15 store.BRANDON SANDERSON (14 NOVEMBER)
Could the person who got code #6 and entered it tell everyone what it was?RYAN D JOHNSON
Was that the one at MSP? Flying through G terminal there today.BRANDON SANDERSON
It was at G15, though someone may have grabbed it by now. There are signed books there too, though... :)NETHSPACE
OK, so, give us a great hunt clue :)BRANDON SANDERSON
Ha. Okay, The one about the Aes Sedai is fairly easy to guess, I think. It even has "Aes Sedai" in it.BRANDON SANDERSON
It also has some punctuation in it, though, of an organizational nature.BRANDON SANDERSON (15 NOVEMBER)
Layover in Atlanta; signed the books in the Buckhead bookstore near the center of the B Gates. I hid a code in one. This is behind security.BRANDON SANDERSON
Just got recognized on the plane by a reader. He should have asked for a #wotgh code. Anyone grab that one in the atlanta airport yet?MIKAUS
Book and code acquired. Glad I checked twitter before I got on the plane!BRANDON SANDERSON
Looks like @TheMikaus got the Atlanta code. Nice work! #wotgh. I'm off to Houston, assuming this plane ever takes off...BRANDON SANDERSON
Ha! So a guy who recognized me on the plane must have friends who follow my posts; he asked for a code after the flight to give to a pal.BRANDON SANDERSON
For those asking, yes I gave the dude on the plane a code. How could I not?BRANDON SANDERSON (17 NOVEMBER)
Off to the UK! Here's a #wotgh clue. I said a code had to do with something Aes Sedai could do. Hint: it'd be very useful in RJ's home town.BRANDON SANDERSON
Those sending guesses at me need to put them into the great hunt page. Warning: the wording must be exact.BRANDON SANDERSON (19 NOVEMBER)
In case you missed it earlier, I'm signing in London today. Forbidden Planet at 1:00. #Wotgh is still a go, also. I have codes for the UK.EBOOKWYRM
On my way down to London now!! How do we get codes?BRANDON SANDERSON
I will have clues about them, and maybe have one or two in the store somewhere.BRANDON SANDERSON
Thanks to all who gave me Magic cards this tour! I just built a deck w/them, & have time after my London signing. Beat me for a #wotgh code.BRANDON SANDERSON (22 NOVEMBER)
Okay, UK WoT fans. Time to prove yourselves. I hid a Great Hunt code in one of my books in the Waterstones Milton Keynes. Can you find it?BRANDON SANDERSON
Just realized that I THINK the clue I left in MK is one that has been guessed. If you find it & send me a photo, I'll email you a new code.BRANDON SANDERSON
Has anyone found the code I hid in Milton Keynes?MATT FELLOWS
Tempted to make the 200+ mile round trip to go find it if it's still not been claimed...BRANDON SANDERSON
I THINK it has been claimed, but nobody has said so for certain. Where do you live?BRANDON SANDERSON (23 NOVEMBER)
Great Hunt is still going. There are codes hidden in both the UK and the states that have not been found. I still have a few to give away.SLEEPINGHOUR (6 DECEMBER)
Any chance of giving us another #wotgh clue? There are a few codes left that people seem to have gotten stuck on...
BRANDON SANDERSON
Go ahead and tweet at Peter, my assistant, and prod him. He can give you some hints.

Do you have a narrowed down release window for A Memory of Light yet?Brandon Sanderson (14 November 2011)
I've been all over on this, when people ask me. I think Tor has been saying fall, but I am not certain.BRANDON SANDERSON
The thing is, we don't know how long it will take to edit. We want to be very careful with this one.Tags

Just how many Aes Sedai are there and how the heck do you keep track with all the similar sounding names?Brandon Sanderson (14 November 2011)
I use the Encyclopaedia WoT and Tar Valon's wiki for some help, but I rely mostly on the notes and Team Jordan.BRANDON SANDERSON
As for how many there are...well, there are a lot. Hundreds.Tags

Twitter 2011 (WoT) (Verbatim)Krishnan Murali (14 November 2011)
How Moiraine is able to able to learn which Forsaken is in power in Tear and Illian in The Dragon Reborn?Brandon Sanderson (14 November 2011)
I believe, but am not taking the time to look it up, she used means more mundane than you're probably expecting.
BRANDON SANDERSON
Meaning good use of information networks. That said, I'll give a tentative MAFO and try to remember to look it up specifically.KRISHNAN
Oh , what do mundane method do you think she used? She found which Forsaken was in power quickly and spot on in The Dragon Reborn.BRANDON SANDERSON
She is very smart, and she knew exactly what to look for. She knew they were coming, and what they would likely do.TEREZ
One good theory is that she just eavesdropped.KRISHNAN (19 NOVEMBER)
In #TorChat, you said that Moiraine probably eavesdropped in The Dragon Reborn to learn the Forsaken's identity; is this a theory in Theoryland?KRISHNAN
I don't mean to ask whether it is a full theory (would be silly), I wanted to know whether it has been discussed in Theoryland.TEREZ
I have seen it discussed at Theoryland and Dragonmount, and @zemaille might have also written something on it.LINDA TAGLIERI
Moiraine did eavesdrop. Egwene saw her listening to Rand and Asmodean in The Fires of Heaven 'What can Be Learned in Dreams'.TEREZ
Agreed, it seems the most logical and straightforward explanation. We saw it in The Eye of the World last POV too.Footnote
Eavesdropping would also explain why Sammael detected her presence. See Maria's commentary here.Tags

Did the ending of A Memory of Light surprise you? As a reader and lover of the series and world, was it fully satisfying?Brandon Sanderson (14 November 2011)
I will say I found it more satisfying than surprising. There are shocking elements, but I'd read so many theories... (more)BRANDON SANDERSON
That it was hard to be completely surprised by anything. (Even if some elements, like Verin, did surprise me.)Tags

Will you be able to fit the rest of Jordan's notes into A Memory of Light, or will they be released?Brandon Sanderson (14 November 2011)
There are way too many notes to fit into one book. Many will be in the encyclopedia that Harriet is doing.Tags

Interview: 2011
Twitter 2011 (WoT) (Verbatim)Justin (14 November 2011)
When writing WoT have you ever read RJ's notes and think that you would have written the plot differently?Brandon Sanderson (14 November 2011)
I wasn't totally hip on the spanking scene in The Gathering Storm. There is one other part that was tough. (Can't say now.)BRANDON SANDERSON
For the most part, though, I didn't look at it that way. If it needed to be changed, I changed it—but only if the plot demanded.BRANDON SANDERSON
I don't look at this as "how would Brandon do it." I look at it as "How should this work in the Wheel of Time?"BRANDON SANDERSON
Certainly, I would have written a different series, as I'm a different person. I don't want to impose that here, though.Tags

Has any recent progress been made on the WoT movie?Brandon Sanderson (14 November 2011)
There was a script done this summer, but it went to revisions.ERIC PEARSON
Do you see WoT making its way to a video format like A Song of Ice and Fire? Or did that show hurt its chances?BRANDON SANDERSON
I hope that show increases the chances. But we shall see. It's not impossible, but a feature is more likely.Tags

You're known for your inventive magic systems—how was it using RJ's in WoT, which is a more traditional system?Brandon Sanderson (14 November 2011)
RJ's system was very rule-based and innovative for its time. It is part of what inspired me to do the systems I do.BRANDON SANDERSON
I've enjoyed it, though you will see me 'brandonizing' a few little things, like the usage of gateways.Tags

Elend and Vin have had their stories told. WoT spin-offs are unlikely. (Sorry.) I'd love to visit Slovakia.BRANDON SANDERSON
I'm actually reading a book about Slovakia right now, written by a friend who lived there. (It's called Vodnik.)Tags

Twitter 2011 (WoT) (Verbatim)Jordan Husband (14 November 2011)
Do you struggle to write Cadsuane from an unbiased perspective, since she's not a favorite of yours?Brandon Sanderson (14 November 2011)
I thought I would, but she has such a strong personality, she's actually easy.BRANDON SANDERSON
The ease of writing a character has more to do with how proactive they are and how easy it is to get into their head.BRANDON SANDERSON
I've learned a lot about her, and about writing, from the series.Tags
