Interview #826: Mistborn: The Final Empire Annotations, Entry #106

Brandon Sanderson

Spook is based very loosely on a person I knew from the timewastersguide forums. Zack—or Gemm, as his nick was—is very good at posting random gibberish which, if you look at it very closely, actually reads to be rather poetic. I wanted to do a character who spoke with a dialect that had an interesting rhythm, yet was difficult to make out.

Hence the character of Spook. Normally, I don’t like dialects. Yet, something about this one was very intriguing to me. I like the way his sentences sound, even when they’re completely unintelligible. I do realize, however, that some people really don’t like reading what he has to say. Don’t worry, he begins to speak more and more intelligibly from here on out.
