The protag’s name is Glorf. GLORF. The cosmere has its first official Glup Shitto

my dumb theory that I won't let go of is that the listener is Chiri-Chiri, no I don't have any evidence

omg......what if hoid is telling the story to a little dragon.....u don't NEED evidence for this it's too cute

Finally reading Sanderson's secret novels reveal. Holy shit

Iriali?? From another planet? What???

Theory: the listener is siri from warbreaker. She knows Hoid by that name, Nalthis is similar enough to Earth that all the references to plants and animals wouldnt be weird, and sanderson said the listener isnt someone very important so i think she fits. Im probably wrong but i would love it

omg <333333 im letting my affection for siri cloud my judgement here but CUTE. would LOVE if it were her, especially cause (this is old info this is from a wob thats at least a few years old) she wouldnt have been a big part of warbreaker 2 if that ever happens. the narration WAS very......colorful and the story so far seems like a siri story. plucky girl star crossed love weird magic u know. love this <3

BSSB 1 SPOILERS:

What if the story is being narrated to Kelsier?

👀 a shrimpteresting thought for sure. i think the question of who is listening is determined by like......what kind of story does this character need to hear? thats how hoid does his stuff right, like he wouldn't have told the fleet story to shallan. we dont know too much about what sort of story this is gonna end up so its hard to guess rn but i do think the tone is missing the kind of vitriol i would expect hoid to reserve for kelsier. im not saying there needs to be an outright "Dear Survivor: fuck you and die. love, Drifter <3" in text for the listener to be kelsier but its gotta be between the lines at least

i have my own theory (sigzil) but lets table this i want more info first

wait what were your thoughts on the secret project books so far?

i liked secret project 1! i thought it was cute and the world is interesting (and of course anything that comes out of that clown's mouth, even if its a whole novel, is gonna be.....yeah, interesting) but not sure if project 2 is for me. tragic, considering i love wizards and wizard hats and of course ill give it another shot where there is more material to read but like. idk. the vibe was very hitchhikers adjacent but i mean....i dont think the jokes landed as well as i expected from something with hitchhikers vibes

but like having an opinion on any of these rn is fully based on vibes so trying to not make any judgements yet

ISHA, READ THE PREVIEW. AT LEAST CHAPTER FOUR. YOU'LL LOVE THAT BIT SO MUCH

alright i caved i read it we're doing this apparently. i will keep it vague cause i dont think people have had time to block tags yet though for reference, mine are #bssb and #sanderson secret projects. im also gonna tag everything about this book specifically with #bssb1 and #secret project 1 cause its the first project. i am trying to be super cautious and overtag cause this is such a specific situation i don't want to open a window on anyone who wants to stay in the dark

anyway it was cute <3 like im suspicious of lots of things 👀 but it was cute and the voice was....recognizable. the whole time i was like wow getting real princess bride vibes from this and then i got to the authors notes and saw him go "this was directly inspired by the princess bride"......though i do take slight offense at the buttercup slander
