About 17th Shard

The 17th Shard is one of the earliest communities dedicated to Brandon Sanderson's works, and his official fansite! Over the years we've not only provided a safe and comfortable place for fans from all backgrounds and walks of life, we've also developed content of our own - we run the Coppermind wiki (a wiki so good, Brandon and his team go to it sometimes!), manage Arcanum (an archive of over 15,000 Words of Brandon), and produce Shardcast (our very own podcast, which dives deep into everything Brandon). Don't have anyone you can scream at when Brandon drops 4 secret novels out of nowhere? Come join us, and scream at - and with - us!
