Cosmere Review Vanishes Soon
A Cosmere book review video titled “This Video Will Be Deleted in One Week...” went live on March 20 — a limited-time upload that signals a deliberate scarcity play to spark immediate engagement. The review targets the latest Cosmere installment and showcases how ephemeral content is being used to drive fandom discussion around Sanderson's expanding universe. (youtube.com)
The upload appears on Brandon Sanderson’s official YouTube channel, which lists about 843,000 subscribers and shows the clip at roughly 18,091 views on the channel page. (youtube.com) The video's description links directly to the Dragonsteel BackerKit campaign and explicitly directs viewers to participate in the campaign's community activities. (youtube.com) BackerKit published an update confirming the cover poll for The Fires of December is live for backers, noting the poll as a community-driven decision item. (backerkit.com) Dragonsteel’s Hoid’s Storybook Collection campaign launched on BackerKit on March 3 and lists campaign-exclusive features — including gold foiling and printed/painted edges for The Fires of December — as limited campaign offerings. (backerkit.com) Multiple outlets reported the crowdfunding blitz raised about $5.5 million in under 24 hours after launch, underscoring the campaign’s rapid early momentum. (polygon.com) BackerKit’s add‑ons page shows the Fires of December ebook add‑on has been selected more than 10,900 times, with 10,934 purchases listed. (backerkit.com) BackerKit’s project update also schedules Brandon Sanderson’s next livestream for March 27 at 6:00 p.m. MDT and states backer surveys will be available starting in early April.
