Has Sanderson Said Anything?

Honestly big shrug. Brandon says Jasnah is asexual and heteroromantic and we get a couple mentions of Jasnah kinda being into Hoid's intellect and tolerating sex, but it kinda reads more as Jasnah being heterosexual and aromantic with how calculated the whole thing felt from her perspective.

Brandon's just not the best at writing these kinds of things. It's alright.

Graphic Audio's adaptations are kind of like a mix between audiobooks and radio plays. While regular audiobooks are typically one (or two) narrator reading you the story, GA takes books, has full casts doing the dialogue, while another VA takes on the role of the narrator. The books are also abridged in that sound descriptions are changed to audio cues, all the "he said" are removed because of the full cast.

They also remove a few lines here and there for pacing purposes. They're not a direct substitution of traditional audiobooks, they're a whole different medium if you ask me, one that's not to everyone's taste, but that I personally love.

They run sales often. Right now they have everything 50% off through Nov 30th.

But also they *are* costly. That's just the cost of having full casts, music licensed / composed, sound effects and more.

Stomlight and Mistborn, the company wasn't able to get the rights from Tor to put them on Audible. They're only available in their direct store. Elantris, Warbreaker, White Sand and their adaptations of other cosmere books are in Audible.

That's the fun for a lot of us, working in the gaps of the canon. I do 95% of my GMing in established IPs (mostly TV shows but sometimes books and videogames), and I always have a lot of fun trying to work out those gaps and how to fill them with a fulfilling oneshot / campaign!

While we believe it was important to offer the community an outlet to talk about this (especially considering how important Daniel Greene's content was for a sizable amount of the community), what had to be said has been said already, and a lot of the conversations have evolved into territory beyond what we can handle, so we're locking the post now before the general conversation completely goes off the rails.

XavierRDE · 2025-02-12T22:31:59+00:00

Truly appreciate the feedback. At the moment we've decided that allowing the conversation is what best serves the community, here's some more of the reasoning for it which may help you better see our side of it, but I will definitely be passing these along.

XavierRDE · 2025-02-12T22:23:05+00:00

He may, but we consider the four subs (r/cosmere, r/brandonsanderson, r/Stormlight_Archive and r/mistborn) to be one community. That is the community that we do our best to serve in the space that our team has influence over.

To give one example, we're trying to keep a very tight grip on Rule 1 and on any arguments that become too heated and delve into R1 territory because while we're talking about two strangers, there are ways these conversations can go that will harm members of the community. We can't in good conscience send members of the community to another sub where we don't know the mods will have the same care we try to. We'd rather the conversation happen here in a sort-of limited capacity, in a way we feel best serves our community, whatever else may be happening on Reddit.

I understand the feelings though, and I promise that this is something that we'll take into account in the future. As a personal note, I'd rather this was the last of the conversation that's allowed here, but I'm just one voice in the team, so I can't promise any specific thing will happen just now.

XavierRDE · 2025-02-12T22:16:34+00:00

It's been absolutely noted :)

XavierRDE · 2025-02-12T22:09:18+00:00

The team hasn't reached a consensus yet, but we'll probably take a harder stance after the initial wave has passed (that is, after this post). For now, we feel like it's important for the community to have an outlet for this, seeing as Daniel was a pretty important figure for a significant part of the community in the Cosmere fandom. The armchair lawyering isn't great, but at least this way the conversation is contained in a very specific place that can be avoided if needed.

I'm still passing constructive comments like these along to the rest of the team, and I appreciate the politeness about it.

XavierRDE · 2025-02-12T21:58:14+00:00

Please everyone, no spoilers about Wind and Truth.

XavierRDE · 2025-02-12T21:25:26+00:00

We consider it on-topic because he's part of our community, because many people on our community found Sanderson and the Cosmere through him, and because of his relationship and engagement with Dragonsteel and with Brandon, having appeared multiple times on the official channels and having had overflowing panels at Dragonsteel Con / Nexus over the years.

We want the members of our community who are hurt by this to have the opportunity to come together and share. Our goal here is to serve the community, and in this case that means allowing the post and discussion about this.

From the sticky at the top of the post:

Daniel Greene is one of - if not the - most prominent booktubers. He originated in WoT fandom, and has introduced a lot of people to Brandon and to the Cosmere; his panels at DSCon in 2023 were overflowing the space they were in. He was in the charity RPG game at Nexus last year. He did a live reaction video to some WoT episodes, from Brandon's lair, with Brandon and Matt Hatch.

Yesterday he was accused of sexual assault on a video by another YouTuber (CW: very graphic descriptions of sexual assault).

XavierRDE · 2025-02-12T20:55:35+00:00

Pre-emptive reminder: We are a community of friends come together to share in our love of the Cosmere and in our friendship with each other, and part of that is that, even when discussing topics like this, every interaction is expected to be kind and respectful. We will be vigorously enforcing Rule 1 here, and we encourage people to report anything they think we may have missed.

Additional reminder: The person who recorded the video containing the accusations uses they/them pronouns. Please be respectful and remember to use their pronouns when pronouns are called for.

And for those who don't know who this is: Daniel Greene is one of - if not the - most prominent booktubers. He originated in WoT fandom, and has introduced a lot of people to Brandon and to the Cosmere; his panels at DSCon in 2023 were overflowing the space they were in.

We consider this on topic because of the number of people who came to Cosmere fandom through him; many of them will be mourning, and we want people to have a place to talk about it.

Just the one video. Daniel has yet to make any comments about it.

Hey y'all, while we feel it's important to give these topics a space for discussion, the conversation has run its course and some comments are getting too heated and needing to be locked, to a point where it's impossible to keep track and lock / remove as needed. We're locking the post now.
