=== ''Defending Elysium'' ===
Brandon first wrote ''[[Defending Elysium]]'' in 2003; it was the last story he'd written prior to selling ''[[Elantris]]'' and thus kickstarting the [[cosmere]]. Though ''Defending Elysium'' won a honorable mention at the Writers of the Future contest in 2003, it wouldn't be published until 2008, when, after substantial re-editing, it won the first prize at [https://renoir.upc.edu/brgf/cficcio//premi_upc/angles/2007/dades_edicio.php UPC Science Fiction Award] in Spain. It would subsequently be published in [https://www.asimovs.com Asimov's Science Fiction]'s October/November 2008 issue, and then released publicly on Brandon's website in 2009.{{bws ref|/short-fiction-non-cosmere/#DEFENDINGELYSIUM|About Defending Elysium|date=01-01-2020}}
=== The travels of Spensa, space pilot ===
As with most things Brandon had been writing at the time, he planned to create more works
Spensa was conceived as a pilot character from [[Mistborn (series)#Era 4: Third Mistborn Trilogy|Mistborn Era Four]] (the space-age of the cosmere).{{wob ref|10943}} Her particular plot was not developed beyond the concept of "the travels of Spensa, space pilot".{{wob ref|10948}} However, Brandon was most interested in a particular technological aspect of her setting -- the biological faster-than-light travel system that would eventually be folded into [[cytonics]]. As the bio-FTL did not fit with the cosmere, Spensa was cut out of Mistborn Era Four and transplanted into the world of ''Defending Elysium''.{{wob ref|10943}}{{wob ref|11965}}
