  1. I'm not sure what made it look like a minion, but it's actually from an old Scott Pilgrim avatar creator thing a bunch of my friends and I did when that movie came out. I liked how it looked so I just started using it as an avatar. It's actually still online, somehow. LORD RULER YES. Also, one of my best friends lives near Wellington, so you never know!
  2. I primarily hang out in the general discussion areas. Sometimes I browse theories and RPs as well, as I'm big into RPing. That's why I'm on MBI so much. I also used to hang around the intro forums, handing out Welcome Cookies. I have no idea where that image got off to, though. My current superpower is probably finding weird random crap on the internet. It used to be ripping towel racks out of walls, but that hasn't happened in a while. I would probably choose something like telekinesis. Super useful and also fun! A few! Most of them though I've met through the site and met up with in person after; there are only a couple who were the other way around. The admins of course I all consider friends, though we've only hung out in person at signings (never met Weiry though, unfortunately). I got to hang out with Feather and Little Wilson during Words of Radiance and they're super rad people. Moru and I have gone to a couple conventions together and she's one of my best friends. Kuri Shardweaver is my fiance! <3 MerryBerry has been one of my best friends since high school. I hang out with Borborygmus in person when we're in the same state; I even went to a veterinary conference with her despite not working in the field, which was a really cool and educational experience even though it sounds really bizarre that I went. I think I convinced another friend to join but he only posted once. XD We haven't set a date for the wedding yet, but we're thinking summer of next year. Trying to iron out what we've got to work with for a budget before we start booking things.
  3. My first name is Kerry. -chan is an affectionate Japanese suffix. Back in like 8th-9th grade, my friends started calling me "K" and "K-chan" and it just kinda stuck. I have a number of friends who still call me that, including my roommate. XD I don't like having hyphens in my online usernames, so it got shortened to KChan. I'm basically KChan or KChan323 on everything I register for that isn't adult-related (bill pay websites, etc). Also, "K" by itself is kind of not so good of a screen name. XD
  4. Enter the thread ninja! Editing now! A whole freaking lot, that's what! XD Among other things, and in no particular order, I: Bought a house and moved into it Got engaged!!! Began a new career in a new field as an apprentice optician, and since moved up to be the person who actually makes the glasses Still haven't finished the sweater I began knitting like 5 years ago. But I started on the sleeves!!! Learned how to build a computer by building my own Rescued a cat (any Sharders in Florida who want a cat? Seriously, we can't keep him; he was literally thrown into my yard out of a car the other day. He's fine, but needs a home that isn't my back porch) Went to Yellowstone! So awesome! Generally was a useless derp who played video games instead of checking the site like I should Some other stuff. Some cool, some less so So yeah. It's been nuts. XD Also, I do actually need math lessons from you at some point. Sine, cosine, and tangent. XD A pretty long time! I first registered back in 2010, then took on a bunch of wiki work and became a mod. Back when we first installed the Invision Power Suite (anyone remember when that was? Like 2010 or 2011 I think?) I offered to help with skinning and became an admin. EDIT AGAIN: According to Chaos it was 2/11/11. So I have an adminversary and everything! I'm learning stuff from this too! XD
  5. Hi everyone! I'm KChan, and I'm your friendly neighborhood lurking admin. I haven't really poked my head out onto the main forums in a long time and I feel really bad about that. I was wondering how to work my way back into the swing of things when Chaos suggested an AMA, so here I am! Ask away!
  6. Who here is excited for the Words of Radiance release? I know I am, but then, that's probably a silly question to post on 17S. Anyways, it's a long way to Utah for some of us, and since we can't all be here, we'll be livestreaming the event. You can read more about it here. And, of course, use this topic to discuss it when it starts. Have fun!
  7. Sorry, you'll just have to read the book. I will say though that I was NOT expecting it. Totally blew my mind.
  8. You can also get the ebook in the meantime, if you can't wait for it to ship.
  9. Wow, derp. That's what I get for not reading the entire other thread. XD; Sorry about that. I'm sure the staff can work it into our plans for the signing, though! Were you planning on just mailing the cards out?
  10. Will you be in the area at all the weekend before the event? A bunch of staffers will be camping out, so you could swing by and coordinate with us.
  11. I'll be arriving on Friday and camping out. If you were at Alloy, maybe you'll recognize my ginormous tent.
  12. I've dispatched Vice Admiral Chaos of the U.S.S. Inquisition to come to your aid. He will be arriving at your location from Deep Space Kredik Shaw shortly. Try to hold on until then.
  13. What is your status, Commander? Are you in need of backup?
  14. Decided it was time for a fresh look. Back when the Scott Pilgrim movie came out, the website had this avatar creator and my friends and I all made them our profile pictures when we went to the movie. I always liked mine, and decided to turn it into my social media avatar.
  15. I'm a hardcore hardback fangirl, myself. I tend to prefer physical books over ebooks, I have trouble focusing on audiobooks, and even though paperbacks are convenient, I tend to beat them up horribly. XD Also, I'm moving this topic to the General Brandon forum, since it's about Brandon's books specifically.
  16. This is Vice Admiral KChan, to Captain Quiver of the U.S.S. Elendel. Our intelligence indicates an unexpected Borg presence in your vicinity. Report.

    This is absolutely beautiful! I love it!
  18. I actually asked Brandon about this at the Alloy of Law signing. He told me that because burning copper creates an Allomantic dead zone, so to speak, everything inside it is effectively silenced. This prevents pulses from reaching Seekers who are outside the cloud, but it also prevents anyone inside the cloud from receiving any pulses whatsoever. The reason Vin could do this is because of her earring. Now, because this was an informal setting and everyone present for this conversation was talking about a bunch of stuff basically one topic right after another, he might not have realized some of the logistical snafus this would cause, but for now, that's the official word on the matter. It might be a good idea to ask him for more details though, like how those issues would be dealt with. Perhaps bronze savants are able to sense pulses originating from outside of a coppercloud while being smoked themselves?
  19. a locked door (You know it had to happen. Also, have an upvote for compiling the story thus far!)
  20. It's been well over a year since the last installment of the 3 Word Story franchise took the General Discussion forum by storm. Threads have come and gone, leaving our old friend buried behind pages and pages (or maybe just one page; I was too busy doing homework to count) of posts. But, my dear friends, the wait is over. It's time. I present to you: The rules are the same as always. Post 3 words that add onto the story. Pay attention to the Quick Reply box so you don't get ninja'd! For the sake of coherency, I suggest we make compilation posts every couple of pages so we can actually read the thing. And don't forget to make sure your out-of-story comments are distinguishable from your contribution! Ready, start! One time, when
