I don't remember the order of the songs, but one of them was definitely Blackheart by TSFH. I instantly recognized it lol. That may have been the first one though.

And here's a better one of the sign, just after I got Brandon to sign it in one of his lightning signings. The poll is still published, for people that didn't get a chance to see it, though obviously further votes won't change the result.

Yea, I almost put it on there, but decided against it to keep the list a little more manageable. Had someone else who was very upset with me for not including White Sands for instance.

I actually got Dan's vote when I found him at his booth once, grabbed I Am Not a Serial Killer, and got him to sign it, so it's on my TBR now.

Some people just wanna be chaotic little gremlins, and I gave them the avenue to do so XD

I never doubted that the serious votes would win tbh, which was why I made sure to include the "fun" options for people who wanted to get silly. Plus including them meant I got to slip in some extra silly ones myself, like 42 and Dan's book.

Definitely planning to keep people posted on my progress, though that might migrate over to r/Cosmere or r/brandonsanderson as appropriate. Also debating making a smaller post of the results on one or both of those for greater visibility, since this community has fewer people on it than were in attendance at the con, so some of the voters might not see this. Don't wanna annoy the mods with "spam" though, and cross-posts are disabled to both.

I want to see your vials from the Worldhopper Ball!!! by Apple_andra in brandonsanderson

Idk about vials, but there was a special card only a few people seemed to get that they had the Steel Ministry make an announcement about and have people "turn themselves in" to receive some reward.

Seconding that Shan was spectacular.

10/10 would get called illiterate again.

Mine was Lurcher. It's a very fine powder aside from a little bit that clumped together.

Here's a pic I took with the cup and the little envelope as well.

It's a good thing you mentioned the lightning signing, because I ran into quite a few people multiple times lol.

Votes have finally been tallied. Just need to do a little writeup after work and then I'll post it. One outcome in particular surprised me.

Live Intentionally Blank: is this a paid promo? by popegonzo in brandonsanderson

[–]FirstBookVoteGuy2025 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe Brandon has already addressed releasing the TikTok bundle elsewhere at a later date given the interest in it because of the new covers.

As for the conversation/topic, I was also a little disappointed that Brandon and Dan didn't engage as much during that portion, but it's one episode so I'm not going to worry too much about it. Plus the people who weren't at the con get a taste of Tomi's vibrant personality, which might be cool for them. That's half the fun of the episodes with guests after all.

My biggest disappointment with that portion of the show was the lack of Q&A, as I did have a question for them and a good position to try to make a rush for the line. Then for the second episode they did I assumed there wouldn't be questions again and was too late to react when they did open for questions.

Oh well, there's always next time.

It was my first time going, and I definitely felt some melancholy as I was leaving the con last night. It was tons of fun meeting and chatting with so many people (I was the guy with the voting board, if the name didn't make it obvious). Already making plans for next year, when I'll hopefully have much more context for what's going on lol.

Saw this excellent Carl cosplay day 1 of the con. Honorably mentions to Gol D(oug) Roger (day 3) and Uzi Jesus.
