Questioner
Will you write a novella on Silverlight?
Brandon Sanderson
Someday I want to, but I can't promise it. It's if it fits in. I've got a really good, nice Silverlight story that I want to tell, but whether I can get to it... There are just so many things competing, and the only things I will commit to are the core Cosmere stories.

Updates on Minor Projects
Potential Cosmere Stories
Keep the following on your radar, as they may happen someday. However, as I'll be knee-deep in Stormlight in 2019, don't expect anything to happen on any of them until it is done. The list includes: Dragonsteel/Liar of Partinel, Sixth of the Dusk sequel, Silverlight novella, Threnody novel, Aether of Night, Silence Divine.

Silverlight and Wandersail novellas...When?
Brandon Sanderson
Silverlight and Wandersail novellas. Silverlight...not soon. Wandersail, potentially while I'm working on Stormlight 4.
NotOJebus
A Wandersail novella! I guess that means there may be more truth to that story than first thought!
Brandon Sanderson
Well...it would be about current characters, not the story that may or may not have happened in the past.

Hmmm, I just read this timetable update then went back and read State of the Sanderson 2016. I think there is a decent chance that the novella between The Apocalypse Guard 2 and 3 could be Silverlight. Could we be so lucky, /u/mistborn?
Brandon Sanderson
There's a decent chance. I've also got several on First of the Sun plotted, which are possibilities--and even a Threnody story I want to do. However, there's also a non-cosmere "minority report" style thriller I want to write, and a more thoughtful story about a world where big data predicts all of our choices. So...who knows.

Do you have any thoughts on a short story set on Nalthis? It's the only major Shardworld we haven't yet revisited.
Brandon Sanderson
I haven't been able to get any shorts on Nalthis to work so far. Maybe eventually.
Questioner
Will you ever make a book based in Shadesmar?
Brandon Sanderson
Yes, I will, actually. There's one that I've plotted in Silverlight. Whether I'll be able to write it as a whole book, or whether I'll be able to do it just as a novella I'm not sure yet. But I do actually have a plotted-out story with Khriss as the protagonist in Shadesmar.

Tertiary Projects
Silverlight
We're almost far enough in the cosmere where I can set a story in Silverlight. It would be a novella, rather than a full novel. I don't expect it in 2017, but you all know enough tidbits about Silverlight that I can at least put it on the list now.
Status: Very early planning stages.
Questioner
The universities of Silverlight, where is that headquartered?
Brandon Sanderson
In the city of Silverlight.
Questioner
Does that happen to be in Shadesmar like the IRE are?
Brandon Sanderson
A lot of people think that it is what they call (the fans) The Restaurant At The End Of The Cosmere. I'm not exactly sure what that means, but I haven't talked about where it is yet.
Questioner
Will we see more of that in novels?
Brandon Sanderson
Yes, Silverlight will be referenced. I have a story brewing set in Silverlight.
Pratius
My top (realistic) potential options here:
1) Silverlight novella2) The Silence Divine3) SotD 2
(But seriously, give me that Silverlight novella. PLEASE, Brandon.)
Brandon Sanderson
Silverlight novella probably needs to wait until I've done the Threnody novel, for some connective tissue reasons, but we'll see.
Roosterteethcomplain
Quick question. Will we ever see the Traveller short story be published in something like Arcanum Unbounded 2?
Brandon Sanderson
Probably not, at least not without a rework.
PM_ME_CAKE
This just further leads me to bet that the new group that'll be introduced in the Threnody novel will have Silverlight ties.
Brandon Sanderson
It will.
PM_ME_CAKE
Will it by chance be tied to how Nazh has gotten involved with Khriss?
Brandon Sanderson
No, though we're working on a White Sand graphic novel sequel that will start into that story, hopefully.

Potential Cosmere Stories List
Here are things that at one point I've had in the works, and probably someday plan to do, in the cosmere:
- Dragonsteel/Liar of Partinel. (Hoid's origin story, to be written sometime after Stormlight is done.)
- Sixth of the Dusk sequel. (I had a pretty cool idea for this last year. Nothing more than that.)
- Untitled Silverlight novella. (What it says on the tin.)
- Threnody novel. (An expedition back to confront the Evil that destroyed the old world.)
- Aether of Night. (Still in the cosmere, and you can see the odd remnant of an Aether popping up here and there. Bound to be drastically different from the unpublished novel, which I allow the 17th Shard to give out to people who request it on their forums. Basically, the only thing from it that is canon is the magic system.)
- Silence Divine. (Disease magic novella set on Ashyn.)
