This guy is still a better writer than 99.99999999% of all /lit/ anons past and present.
>>25342068He's a better author, assuredly, but writer? Nah. I've read posts here on /lit/ better written than anything Sanderson has published. But he is a tremendously successful author, and as a professional writer he is undoubtedly superior to anybody on this board.

Is that Harry Dresden?
>>25342068Is that a high bar to pass?
>>25342081Does he judge anyone? He basically just incites violence from what I recall.
>>25342396I remember he does when asked about it but I can't remember who
>>25342068He isn't. Nor is that other popular dreck DCC better written than what you'd find on 4chan, in fact I'd strongly suggest it's significantly worse, both stylistically and in complexity. You really only need a couple of braincells to be a successful author. Squeeze in some reddit jokes and you're up there with this crowd, and add Ernest Cline and Andy Weir as well.
>>25342068That's not a high bar.It's not even a bar to begin with.
>>25342433>DCC is terrible>but writing about slimy turds that represent a giant black cock, now that's literature
>>25342515What are you talking about?
>>25342081>>25342396Judge Holden was his actual (alleged) name in Chamberlain's book, McCarthy used his really-attested name.
>>25342381This is somehow worse than I remember it. Did he let a woman ghostwrite it?
>>25342600It's possible some of the works released after his death have been edited in that kind of way, but I think Lord of the Rings was written by Tolkien alone.

>>25345741probably not, GPT 5 came out 2025 and the book was released 2024.
>>25345793GPT had to get its extremely grating from somewhere.
