    Interview: Nov 6th, 2012

    Question

    If you don’t finish all of your books in the series that you’re in, would you be willing to give that opportunity to someone else?

    Brandon Sanderson

    Yeah of course, I’d be a complete hypocrite if I wasn’t, right? [Laughs] Yeah totally, I’ll have like one of these guys write it. [Points to Josh and Mi’ch] We’ll call up Pat Rothfuss, “Hey Pat,” and then you’ll get it in like thirty years.

    Interview: Nov 6th, 2012

    Question

    I would like to know how you met Patrick Rothfuss, how did you guys become friends?

    Brandon Sanderson

    The first time we met was actually on the forums for a webcomic.

    QUESTION

    Which webcomic?

    BRANDON SANDERSON

    Penny Arcade. Because I occasionally go to- Penny Arcade had a writing forum and I would occasionally go to the writing forums. I wouldn’t hang out on most other forums, but any place that had an active writing forum I hung out on, I like to chat with people about writing and things like that. And Pat got on and gave somebody feedback. Somebody else trashed him for his feedback. And I wrote back to Pat and said, “Don’t listen to him, your feedback was awesome and also if you’re who I think you are, your book’s really good.” And that was back when it was only out in hardcover, he didn’t take off until his book came out in paperback. That’s when he got really popular. So, it was before he was popular. But he’d made waves already in the publishing community. And so he wrote back and said, “Wow, who are you?” And we just started chatting and then we started hanging out at cons after that.

    Interview: Mar 7th, 2014

    Brandon Sanderson (Paraphrased)

    First question is about a joke—writing a book with [Patrick] Rothfuss with competing teams of characters, giving it to [George RR Martin] for the ending—sounds like it probably won't happen but both Sanderson and Rothfuss have apparently joked about it.

    Interview: Jan 24th, 2015

    Question

    If you are Rothfuss’ friend tell him that he needs to get the third book out.

    Brandon Sanderson

    He’s working on it, but he is a perfectionist, beyond any of the rest of us. He takes his time. I’m as eager for it as you guys are.

    Interview: Feb 17th, 2016

    Question

    If you starred in a buddy cop movie with Pat Rothfuss, would you be the good cop or the bad cop?

    Brandon Sanderson

    If you know anything at all about us, I’d be the good cop and he’s definitely the bad cop. Definitely. I mean, come on.

    Interview: Apr 23rd, 2016

    Question

    You have thousands of years of history, mostly talking about Stormlight Archives, like Radiants have done this, Heralds have done this, you have in some ways figured out what happened and what’s going to happen with that stuff. And you have a friend/author Patrick Rothfuss that also does this, stuff that happened many many years ago, have you guys ever talked to make sure you’re not going to do the same cool thing?

    Brandon Sanderson

    Good question. No I haven’t ever asked him about that. The only thing I ever remember talking to him about world-building wise was magic and his magic and things like that. I was really interested in sympathetic magic also warbreaker has an element to it, I really liked his sympathetic magic in Kingkiller. But when I get together with Pat I try not to ask the questions that I know the fans are asking him a lot, I try to be somebody who’s a colleague that we can talk about other sorts of things to give him a break from that. I never ask him when the next book will be out, that’s your job not mine. I ask him how his kid is, how has it been working with DAW lately, are there any frustrations for you in the business. The stuff he can’t talk with other people about. He can talk about his kids but he can’t really talk about publisher stuff with a lot of other people.
