There are more questions from fans that he answers: What is the longest amount of time you've spent writing in one sitting while writing this series? What culture inspired the Horneaters? What's your favorite and perhaps lesser known fantasy series?  Since metal born siblings can end up with different powers, what about twins? What are the most surprising reactions from fans about the characters you've created? Out of all the characters created which one do you personify/relate the most with? How do you balance your already established series' with the new series you're creating? Brandon then spends time talking about his writing future and how he will manage it going forward as there are a lot of stories left to tell.
