    Interview: Mar 6th, 2014

    Question

    If Kelsier's Cognitive Shadow or a Seon went to the Forests of Hell, would they be shades?

    Brandon Sanderson

    Yes, that is the same thing. The people on that planet; their Investiture; the lack of shard means that their cognitive shadows react differently. The ghost of Leras is the same thing too.

    Interview: Oct 12th, 2015

    Kurkistan

    If you're on Threnody and you get withered by a shade, are you better off burning Allomantic aluminum, or tapping Feruchemical gold?

    Brandon Sanderson

    (lots of laughing) [Some clarification on the question]They would both work pretty well. I would say if you burned aluminum, that would kind of have the effect that you are wanting it to have, which is the effect- negating and sucking out, so that’s probably safer. But the gold would work, too.

    Kurkistan

    So would it be fair to describe withering as a kind of cancerous Forging-

    Brandon Sanderson

    Sure.

    Kurkistan

    That just kind of slowly takes over your soul?

    Brandon Sanderson

    Sure. That's legit.

    Interview: Oct 9th, 2015

    Question

    If you could ditch the entire Cosmere and start fresh, what would you write about?[From the audience]: Fifty Shades of Grey fanfic!

    Brandon Sanderson

    Yeah, that. Fifty Shades of Grey fanfic.

    Question

    Except Brandon’s would be much tamer…

    Brandon Sanderson

    Yeah, I don’t think mine would hit quite the same demographic.

    Question

    It would have an awesome magic system though.

    Brandon Sanderson

    Yeah, it would be based on the color grey, where each shade of grey produces a different magic effect.

    Interview: Nov 22nd, 2016

    BYU Bookstore (Paraphrased)

    Question

    When a Threnodite shade ruins silver, is that a natural, physical process, like a chemical reaction resulting in silver phosphate, or is the silver actually transmuted into something no longer silver?
