"My name is Alcatraz. Alcatraz Smedry. And let me tell you this right now: I'm not a good person." ((Roleplay blog for Alcatraz Smedry from Brandon Sanderson's Alcatraz series.)) M!A: None

Listen............Brandon Sanderson..................Brand Sand..........................if you’re out there...........................if the Alcatraz movie is animated........................please wait until I finish college so I can come work on it

News from this year’s State of the Sanderson: Bastille Versus the Evil Librarians is “basically done” and slotted for a release in 2021 or 2022!!!!!!!!!

Additionally, a deal for the movie rights to Alcatraz is in the works!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HELLO I have RETURNED to scream about the ALCATRAZ UPDATE

[cxnfractus]

Hey guys! I mostly lurk rather than post these days (waiting on the State of the Sanderson for maybe some more news....) but I just wanted to update you guys and tell you that I reposed all my Alcatraz drabbles on AO3! They’re all under the Alcatraz tag ^^

Hi I’m currently watching the Good Omens tv series (and I LOVE IT) but I’m here to bring you this very niche cinematic parallel:

Crowley to Aziraphale, episode 4:  “That won’t happen! You’re so clever! How can somebody as clever as you be so stupid?”

From Alcatraz Versus the Knights of Crystallia: “Bastille rolled her eyes. ‘How can you be so clever sometimes, Smedry, but such an idiot other times?’”

The new Detective Pikachu trailer starts with the line “so there I was” aka how every Alcatraz book starts so.............what’s the truth Warner Brothers

You’re basically the only online presence, heck, the only presence period, that I see that talks about Alcatraz vs the evil librarians, and I love that, because it really sucks to love something so much and be unable to talk about it with someone, or get any fan content. So to have found your blog, where you share feelings on the series that I relate to, and make jokes that I get, it makes me really really happy. Probably a little too happy, I’m being dramatic, but you put a smile on my face :)

First, I’m so glad that I post content that you really enjoy and makes you happy! This series also just makes me really happy. I could talk for decades about how good this series is.

I’m certainly not the only person who talks about Alcatraz. The fandom is small (sadly so) but there are people who talk about it like:

@bastilledartmoor

@arwenatreides

@greatshell-rider

I’ve had a lot of fun conversations with them about it. If you ever want to talk about it, I’m always open to. I’m a little bit busy with college around the corner but I still try!

Plus I’m sure the fandom will pick up steam when Bastille vs. comes out whenever it comes out.

[bastilledartmoor]

Message me anytime about anything! I’ve been a fan since 2007 and love hearing new ideas from new readers! This series is a part of the adult reader that I’ve become.

[cxnfractus]

Hey hey! I adore Alcatraz (this blog started out as an Alcatraz rp blog, although I’m not super active on that front and it’s kind of turned into a general Alcatraz blog) and I’m always excited to talk about the series!!!

Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarian

Questioner: Can you tell us when more books are coming... as far as Alcatraz?

Brandon Sanderson: Yes, Alcatraz 6 is halfway done. It is moving along really well. I wrote a chunk of it and didn't like it, went to a friend of mine whose a really good writer and said, "I can't get Bastille's voice down, can you help me out?" And so we've been kind of going back and forth and sending things back and forth to each other and it's finally really working. It's snapping right together, and so I would imagine it's less than a year away. I don't know for sure. Not far.

The Talent of Breaking.

As I was drawing this I realized it’s been nearly TEN YEARS since I first discovered the Alcatraz series……….what a wild ride it has been so far

A little bit of Alcatraz versus the Evil Librarians fan art for ya, high-quality picture taken especially for you with my High Tech I Phone. In other news, why is this series not more popular??

I’m so mad that Brandon Sanderson paid six figures to ruin my life.
