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 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

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
