This community is a place to discuss books in Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere--the shared universe where most of his novels take place. Please take a moment to review our rules!
1. Show respect to others
Every interaction in the community must be kind, respectful, and welcoming. No person should ever feel threatened, harassed, or unwelcome. Do not engage in hate speech, harassment, insults, personal attacks, trolling, or arguing in bad faith. Interpretation of this rule is subject to the moderators' discretion. Please remember the human.
2. Spoilers not permitted in post titles
Post titles must never reveal spoilers. This includes no direct quotes from the books. Title wording should be vague if necessary. Grey areas are up to the moderators' discretion.
3. Use spoiler markup for all spoiler posts
Please cover all posts in a spoiler tag. Spoilers outside the scope of a post must be hidden with spoiler markup and the scope indicated. The scope is determined by the post tag flair along with any additional restrictions placed by the OP.
You spoiler tag like this:
::: SpoilerSpoiler Tag
message here
:::
in order to get:
Book Name Here
Stuff about the book in here
4. Post must be tagged for spoilers
All posts must be tagged to indicate the level of expected spoilers in the link/post and comments. The spoiler scope should include the name of the book or books, such as [Book Name] or [Book Series]. You may also say [No Spoilers] if you don't want any spoilers at all. Be as specific as possible. You can even say [Book Name Ch 34], for example.
5. No excessive reposting
Identical content may not be reposted within, by default, a two week period. This period may be adjusted at the moderators' discretion.
6. Posts must be on topic
Posts must be related to the Cosmere. Posts relating to sensitive topics (such as politics, religions, etc.) will be subject to greater scrutiny.. Meta discussions related to the community are generally permitted. Self promotion for money is disallowed. Art, podcasts, videos and other such actual content is allowed.
7. Respect intellectual property
Piracy and copyright infringement are strictly forbidden. With some exceptions, all content must comply with Dragonsteel's licensing and fanart policies. Artwork must be attributed and may not be posted against the artist's wishes. Fan art should be marked as [OC] or credited to the original artist. If AI was used as a tool, please also mark the post [AI: Tool Used], for example [AI: Midjourney].
8. Leaked content is not permitted
Content which is released outside of Brandon Sanderson's wishes is not allowed under any circumstances. Pre-release content publicly released by Brandon, Dragonsteel Entertainment, or a publisher is okay if marked appropriately for spoilers.
9. Posts must be thoughtful and unique (Except Fri-Sun, PST)
Posts must provide original thoughts, questions, ideas, news, or interpretations of the books that can be discussed by the community.
Restricted content often includes: memes; images reminiscent of something in the books; AI-generated artwork; photos of books, bookshelves, merchandise; casting posts; photos of pets; etc. This content is not restricted in /c/brandonsanderson if you’d like to post there.

MODERATORS
welcome Xavier, nice to see you made it :)
It's nice to be here! A little Sci-Fantasy focused Reddit looks like a great idea once you're in it.
Hey, is there such a thing as a community description? If I go to the main c/Cosmere page it just lists the posts.
Are you on the app or browsing through the web? The web has a 'sidebar' similar to reddit that lists the rules and community description. For the app it would depend on which one you are using.
There should also be a sidebar on the right with the rules.
They're asking about a description, like you'd find at the top of a sidebar on Reddit. I guess we'll probably want to put something like that at the top of the rules.
This is a community for discussion of Cosmere books by Brandon Sanderson
etc.
EDIT:
I took the liberty of adding something, but feel free to edit.
I also added banners and icons because I realized those were options. Copied from Reddit. Feel free to remove or change those while you're at it. :)
everything looks fine, though the banners we may want to find something that fits the available size better to not get cut off.
Did you add a blurb to c/bs too?
Yeah, I added it.
Figured the banners probably need to be optimized but not sure what restrictions they have for various screen sizes.
I have no idea what the size would be, I will need to research that just so they fit a little better and don't look cut off.
Glad to see this here, given how reddit continues to go down the tubes. Now we just need enough people here to get the community as vibrant as the one over at reddit.
