It's amazing that Sanderson will get a play button for what amounts to a side project during lockdown primarily used to give fans information while he signs books. Love it!
There's absolutely no doubt in my mind that during the course of time, you will be regarded (as I and many others regard you now) as our generation's J.R.R. Tolkien. The amount of love and passion you put into your books, creating completely new worlds for us to get lost in, yet consistently tying all these worlds together is a magnificent achievement in writing. You should be very proud of yourself, as all your fans are. Journey Before Destination. And you are making the journey most enjoyable. Thank you so much Brandon.
"I never actually thought that this would happen." I honestly think you're the only one. You've always had a knack for underestimating your own popularity. Just look at the Way of Kings leatherbound Kickstater. The goal was 250K, the price of the signed-and-numbered tier was $500, with a limit of slightly less than 1000 for that tier. Simple arithmetic says you're going to double the goal on that alone... and then you expressed shock when the project did exactly that within the first few minutes. Brandon, you're *huge!* Accept it already! 😁
True but the flip side is that not everyone may be willing to fork $500 for a single book and some goodies. So he may be a little bit skeptical or not expect it to be that fast.
I think you mean 'guess my 10 book series is 20 books in Japan now' since it's always been intended to be 10 novels, and at some point Sanderson decided that he likes writing a novella between entries - I wouldn't be surprised if we retroactively got a novella set between WoK & WoR, nor if we got multiple novellas or a side novel set between era 1 and era 2. It's going to be a long journey until we get that Dragonsteel series but I'm looking forward to every second of it.
Wow this is crazy. I must be from the most recent wave because in the past couple days I have been religiously watching you. I’m a very young aspiring creative writer and I’ve been binging your lectures in my free time and found them OUTSTANDING. I usually have a poor work ethic and aversion to academia but not only were your teachings helpful and precise, they were also extremely captivating and even entertaining enough for me to watch them like a show. You’re so experienced and intelligent but still have an incredible ability to convey information well, which I guess is also a intrinsic quality of being a writer. Much congratulations.
Brandon, I've been a fan of your work since I discovered you around the time Warbreaker was published. I didn't know you had such an active channel until I got the link for the Original sample chapters in your latest newsletter, but I like what I found! Kudos to you for finding new and interesting ways to interact with and give back to your readers.
Congratulations Mr. Sanderson. I really love and admire the way you communicate with your fans. You are starting a new era and other authors should learn from you and catch up. Again, congratulations. You ALREADY ARE a great RUclipsr.
@@SirOshi I think I read somewhere that Oathbringer sold 300k first week, more than the average #1 NYT bestseller. And his popularity has grown a lot since 2017, so i could only imagine that it's gonna be even more then 300k for RoW.
So guys, we did it, we reached a tenth of a million subscribers, 100,000 subscribers and still growing the fact that we've reached this number in such a short amount of time is just phenomenal, I'm-I'm just amazed. Thank you all so much for supporting this channel and helping it grow. I-I love you guys... You guys are just awesome.
What a milestone! Also, Mr Sanderson. Dalinar's quote at the end of Oathbringer was actually a personal inspiration during bad times, and it's what I remind myself with these days. Thank you.
Mr. Sanderson you're definitely worthy of this achievement. You're Fantasy Writing lectures are pure gold for anyone who's in the writing game. Please upload more of your lectures:)
No,no, thank you, Brandon. This channel is a different kind of awesome! I have to say, I've read none of your books. Zero. But I'm planning to get familiar with all of them very soon. Congrats on the success of your channel!
I'm so glad to have subscribed to you this month! I've been watching your videos, reading your books, and listening to your podcast all month, haha. You've been a huge inspiration. Thank you!
Good work Brandon and (especially) Adam! I have to say that the technical(and production) quality of those streams has significantly improved since the first one.
Brandon, I love your stories. I feel that I know and love the characters; the stories reveal your wisdom and deep understanding of human nature. My (Baptist) pastor thought he didn't like fantasy until I got him to read Mistborn and we talk about where he is in the stories at least once a week (he'll probably start Alloy of Law this weekend). No writes self-sacrificing heroes as well as you do -- not Dan Simmons, Stephen Donaldson, Neal Stephenson, or even J. R. R. Tolkien.
Already have all the audiobooks, as well as Rhythm of ware preordered, love them all. I doubt anyone reading this is on the rocks about Sanderson’s stuff, but if you are about the audiobooks, give them a shot. They’re phenomenal listens.
Congratulations on 100k! Well-deserved! Thank you for all the tips, lectures and the opportunity to get to know a little about who you are. As an aspiring writer, you have really helped me refine my work.
Congrats, Mr. Sanderson. I very much enjoy your books and if I were a US citizen, I would certainly participate in your game of chance. Alas, I'll content myself with wishing you many more subscribers and fresh ideas for your future works. Best regards from Switzerland
i just read warbreaker first time ..read all you're other works and loved them and it was a great work i loved it..if there is another in this series id love to read them ....rock the cosmere
Thank you so much, for all the great advise you gave me so far! You are an incredible teacher, and hopefully, one day, I gonna find the time to enjoy one of your books xD
I think people just don’t know Sanderson puts out content on RUclips. Congrats on a big milestone at 100k! I’m sure in no time he’ll hit a million subs!
Thank you for your AMAZING stories!! The way you paint your worlds is so unique and beautiful!! It's better than watching a movie! And your magic systems are just perfection. I can't wait to see where you take me next!❤❤
Congrats Sanderson! Amazing milestone. Get that play button trophy!!!
Watcha doing here?
It's amazing that Sanderson will get a play button for what amounts to a side project during lockdown primarily used to give fans information while he signs books. Love it!
thanks for the tip Daniel
Thank you Daniel Greene for telling me this channel exists!
Wow you’re really becoming a real RUclipsr now lol
Don't forget to Storm that Like button
Westley Farmer oooh and what would he call his subscribers? Cremlings?

They expected to sell around 5000 copies total and have 5000 left for the store. In the end it was almost 23k Leatherbounds in the kickstarter.
Your logic checks out. But I seriously appreciate that he acts humble about it.
True but the flip side is that not everyone may be willing to fork $500 for a single book and some goodies. So he may be a little bit skeptical or not expect it to be that fast.
My thoughts exactly! The way Brandon keeps being surprised by how much people are committed to his work and how big he is is so wholesome
You gotta remember how many years he struggled before he got that first publication. Starting out humble helps.
Brandon:
writes a fun novella - “Huh, guess my epic 9 book series is 13 books now!”
wants to do some livestreams - “Huh, guess I’m a RUclipsr now!”
Not to mention regarding cosmere, writing a fan-fiction, "Well I guess it's now an established universe."
I think you mean 'guess my 10 book series is 20 books in Japan now' since it's always been intended to be 10 novels, and at some point Sanderson decided that he likes writing a novella between entries - I wouldn't be surprised if we retroactively got a novella set between WoK & WoR, nor if we got multiple novellas or a side novel set between era 1 and era 2. It's going to be a long journey until we get that Dragonsteel series but I'm looking forward to every second of it.
Thank YOU for posting your lectures on here. They've really helped with my writing, and I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling grateful to you for that.
Brandon is so wholesome. Doing a giveaway when he gives the incredible gift of so much communication with his fans already.
You're one of my favorite authors and have expanded my imagination in ways I never thought possible. Congratulations! Keep up the good work!
I bet his kids are going crazy over this.

His lectures are an absolute gold mine! You can also find his lectures from a few years ago on a channel called Camera Panda

Thank you Brandon for being awesome! And thank you Daniel Greene for introducing me to this guy.
Accidentally becoming a youtuber while signing books sounds about right
Congratulations Brandon and the team! Your constant advice and streams do wonders to keep me motivated as a writer, so thank you! - a big fan
Dude, you are a real RUclipsr now! All your hard work slumming it as a writer has finally paid off ;)
Congratulations Mr. Sanderson. I really love and admire the way you communicate with your fans. You are starting a new era and other authors should learn from you and catch up. Again, congratulations. You ALREADY ARE a great RUclipsr.
100k is not something we get to see everyday now can we get this number as first week book sales
I am willing to bet first week book sales dwarfs the 100k mark

And thanks to you for all the thoroughly enjoyable and fascinating stories you've given us over the years!
Congratulations on reaching 100k!
Here is to many more and thank you for the many hours of entertainment :)
This is absolutely adorable. I noticed the sub count getting higher during the stream with Mary. I didn’t think you’d have a video to celebrate! 🎉😁

100k is the silver play button and thus he is officially a RUclipsr
You are the best Mr. Sanderson. You deserve this and more
No,no, thank you, Brandon. This channel is a different kind of awesome! I have to say, I've read none of your books. Zero. But I'm planning to get familiar with all of them very soon. Congrats on the success of your channel!

Woo hoo!!! Thank YOU for all the books, knowledge and everything else you've done to inspire me.

It's simply heartwarming to watch you and how you're so excited about your fans

Congratulations. Here's to 1M. Thanks for the great stories.
i appreciate that you kept this short and concise. some people would have dragged this out over 5+ minutes talking about how much it means to them
Congratulations, that is a crazy number.
Can't believe I missed the deadline by 2 hours! I've learned my lesson and set the bell to notify me of EVERYTHING that this awesome channel puts out
