Was it something I said?

Well, after about a year of not being motivated enough to read, I stumbled upon Mistborn at the mall inside of a B. Dalton. I liked the cover so I proceeded to reading the back and that left me feeling interested enough to buy the book. I finished it a day after purchasing it, feeling how I did back when all that I did was read [ a.k.a like a druggy wanting a fix], and immediately searched every book store that I was familiar with in the city for The Well of Ascension. No one had it.  I finally gave in a decided to order it, paying the extra bux to have it delivered to my house. That was anything but a waste. I'm really excited about having another Trilogy to read and I can't think of a better book to have started me up again. So. How did all of you stumble upon Brandon Sandersons' work? Just wondering, and admittingly trying to raise my post count. xD -- Nil

Let see, my twin served with him in Korea (as missionaries, not soldiers) and then worked with him on a certain university publication. I was then invited to join the publication as their art director and shortly there after I read some of Brandon's early works.

I worked on The Leading Edge shortly after he stopped being editor, and everyone would talk about him. Then I was in a writing group with him.

He was the mysterious guy who showed up to Leading Edge in sunglasses at 8:30 pm, talked with SE and Alan for a while, yelled at the slush puppies to get to work, then disappeared downstairs.

I read the announcement that he was going to write the 12th book of the Wheel of Time on Robert Jordan's blog at Dragonmount and came check it out.
Said I wasn't going to read any of his works until after the WoT book, but I read the first couple of chapters of Mistborn and now I need to go shopping for his books.

He came to my brother's wedding.  But I'd heard a lot about him before that. (I was on the staff at TLE for just a semester, but I think I remember somebody talking about Brandon getting called to Seoul West--this would have been... umm... '96? Or maybe they were talking about somebody else.) |

Saw his book at Media Play. I emailed him, and he actually emailed me back. Then I took the class that he teaches at BYU. Did that a couple years ago. Now, I've faded into the background of "people Brandon recognizes" when I'm around. Glad to at least be in that group.  |

It still surprises me that people can actually know authors. Lmao.
A lot of your answers were really interesting! It's comforting to be around people with similar interests. =D

What I think everyone who's a regular on here, especially Sprig, isn't how you know Brandon. It's how much you love Sprig.
