  1. I consider myself very lucky in the fact that Brandon is like my hometown hero. I've been following and reading his books since Hero of Ages came out when I was in high school (like 9th or 10th grade). I've been an avid fan and kept up on all the cosmere information and been a long time lurker here. Finally made an account to play some elimination for funsies. I've read the Mistborn trilogy I think 7 times now? And the Stormlight Archive 3 times. Words of Radiance only twice actually but still. I love everything Brandon Sanderson (and have met him various times at signings and such) and he is literally like my hero. So hello everyone! I'm glad to finally be an actual member, instead of just a lurker siphoning off all of your information and hopefully providing some input of my own!

  3. ... Seriously, I go away from the Shard to a Halloween party for ONE NIGHT, and this is what happens? This is like every movie ever where the parents go away for the weekend and the teenaged kid(s) proceed to wreak havoc and enact shenanigans!

  5. The guards Shiny Sparkle dragged along as her escorts were adorably shy about how she pressed their arms against her chest as they walked towards Vondra’s office. Teasing darlings like them is just a joy. If there wasn’t a stuck up dictator waiting for her, she’d like to take the time and properly snuggle up to one of them. Sadly, the two took their exit rather speedily after they arrived before the door to Vondra’s office. Without that nice company she had to wait… and waiting she did. This wasn’t even a matter of prudishness; keeping a lady wait this long was simply bad manners. Now if she could have kept one of the guards as company this would have been much more pleasant wait. Her thoughts were drawn away from possible courtship rituals involving nice muscled soldiers, by a clumsy touch to her rear, lacking all of the proper groping technique something this well-shaped deserves. Still, Shiny gave him the benefits of the doubt. It could have been one of her darling soldiers, working through his nervousness and daring a venture into for him unknown territory. She certainly wouldn’t mind showing him the shores, if that was the case. However, with dreams like that reality turned out to be rather disappointing. The unskilled groper was the sleazy biker type; you’d take up for a quick ride and nothing more, and probably that Deathwish guy that was supposed to participate in the battle against those cult wimps yesterday. She found his flirting after that mostly amusing. It reminded her of a school boy having discovered the wonders of sexuality but not yet worked through the hormones enough to tell that those cute females needed to be properly worshipped, which also marked him as the type whose ride ended especially short. Putting on the same kind of smile one would use for a little puppy that just messed up but was still proudly wiggling its tail, Shiny Sparkle pinched his cheek. “I appreciate the regards given to my epic assets, trust me they deserve every good word said about them, but I’m sorry sweetie. It would be one thing if you were the virgin type but I only let the predator type take a turn if I think they are experienced enough to properly satisfy me,” she gave him a consolatory clap on the cheek. “Better luck next time.”

  8. Just a thought I had, what if Iron Feruchemy actually stores/taps your spiritual connection to the ground, and it's classified as "weight" because that's what the people on Scadrial think it is? Which brings up other ideas--what if all of Feruchemy just stores spiritual connection to something? (Total crazy speculation there.)

  9. Hi, I am TheShallan! I was introduced to Brandon Sanderson's books about two year ago and have been reading his books ever since! I have read the Mistborn Triology, Alloy of Law, Steelheart, Firefight, Warbreaker, The Rithmatist, The Way of Kings, and Words of Radiance. I look forward to discussing Brandon Sanderson with you guys!

  11. No, honestly I'm not angry with you taking it, I'm just a bit sour on how you did it. Asking me would have been the best way. I'm too busy to run this right now, or take the thread. I would have handed it to you in a heartbeat. I haven't been on much lately, but if you had sent me a pm before making the thread, I would have seen it. A simple "hey, I know you came up with this, but you haven't done it yet, so can I?" goes a long way.

  13. Generation 4: Turn 3 "Well, I for one find them most frightful," Gracia Heatherlocke said. She looked around at the assembled nobility - Lord Uethorn, finishing his wine, Lord Penrod with his nose in yet another book, and of course Lady Urbain, though she had been briefly dragged away by her duties as host. She didn't need to state who she was talking about; Lady Urbain had thrown this ball in their honour, after all. "Skulking around in the mists at the dead of night like common thieves." "Hardly common thieves, Lady Heatherlocke," Guadium Uethorn replied as he swapped his empty flute for another full of wine and swirled it round gently. "They are, after all, meant to be Mistborn." "Really?" Gracia asked, turning to Lord Uethorn. "I am surprised. I had thought that the numbers of Mistborn in the world were dwindling somewhat." "Perhaps in your House," Guadium said with a sly grin. "Mine still flourishes with the Allomantic arts. Why do you say that, then? Could it be that your own House is failing?" "I shall choose to ignore that remark, for your sake, Guadium," Gracia said stiffly, turning her nose up a little. "And, as you so clearly desire, I shall ignore you for the rest of this event." Guadium shook his head, a little bemused, as he watched Lady Heatherlocke's departure. "Can she not take a little gentle teasing?" "I fear you are not quite up to date with the rumours in Luthadel, Lord Uethorn," Lord Penrod said, finally snapping the book shut. It was one of those damned histories that his House was so fond of producing, each revision slowly tailoring the past to be more in keeping with the Ministry's teachings. "Are we to jump at shadows and pay attention to the mutterings of skaa these days?" Guadium shrugged. "What do they say that is worth noticing?" "Precisely as your little barbed comment suggested. Supposedly someone nearly beat their child to death to try and get them to snap, but to no avail. It must be rather embarrassing for a Great House to have a child that is ultimately no different to skaa." "Really...?" Lord Uethorn nodded in the direction lady Heatherlocke left in. "The Heatherlockes...?" He didn't bother to finish the sentence. "Alas, as it is only a rumour, it is distorted by untruths and slander. It is impossible to say who the unfortunate House is." "A shame, then... Though that does indeed raise a point. If Allomantic bloodlines are weakening to that extent, then what will the Inquisition do, if they require Mistborn to function?" "Perhaps it would be best to ask Lady Urbain," Lord Penrod suggested, as the woman in question made her way back over. "Her brother has apparently been accepted into their fold, after all." "What is this?" Lady Urbain asked, looking between them. "I heard my name being mentioned. I hope you only have good things to say about me?" "We were just discussing that your brother has joined the Inquisition," Guadium said. "I assume he was Mistborn then? House Urbain appears to have lost quite an important figure, in that case." "He is no longer my brother, Lord Uethorn," Grace said with a sad, but seemingly accepting smile. "He is of the Inquisition now, and no longer of House Urbain. It is best, I feel, to forget that he ever existed before now." "That seems a little harsh, doesn't it?" Lord Penrod asked. "He is, after all, still your brother." Lady Urbain sighed and took a small sip of wine. "Any ties he had to me were severed the moment he joined them. But you asked me whether he was Mistborn," she said, looking at Guadium. Then she smiled a little. "For what it's worth, the Inquisition only accept the best." Generation 4, Turn 3 has begun! It will end on October the 31st, at 6PM GMT. It's typical. You wait ages for a twin and four turn up at once... Generation 4 Player List PMs have been sent out.

  17. I thought it was a group project. I mean, I know it was your idea, but remember my whole "never letting go of the forum group hug storm claustrophobia" thing, so it's impossible to not do anything as a group! That made no sense, didn't it. I need to work on making sense.

  20. Shard movie night! AKA awesomeness on a screen! @Morzathoth- The sketches are done by a comedy group called Studio C. They have a TV show on BYUTV that's basically a family-friendly version of Saturday Night Live, and they post all their sketches on YouTube. They're awesome. Kaymyth is definitely forum mom. "I leave this room for one minute-!" Sharders: *look at feet and mumble "Sorry, mom"*

  31. Twi I'm hesitant to post this but maybe next year (I think its too late for this one), my school will probably have an opening. I could pm you the info then, if all else fails and you haven't found a place by then I might also talk with the librarian too. They might still hire librarians in the mid-semester. If not, there's always the public library.

  42. Main thought: that is how you write an episode of Who. This season has been leaning more towards Classic Who, in a way. Better overall than last season's adventures that felt like Eleven was supposed to be in them. In Twelve's first season they toyed a bit with "this is the Doctor who might not be trustworthy," but pulled back. This season has sort of recontextualized that into "Twelve was playing with that role, then pulled back."
