My name's Alyx (Yes, spelled like the Alyx from Half-Life), but you can also call me Feather. I'm in high school, and an aspiring author. If you'd like to see some of my writing (not that good, I'm sure) you can find some on my deviantart. The Sovereign States audition is probably my best. Be warned, there is Twilight fanfiction up from the dark Pre-Wheel-of-Time days. I shudder to remember that phase.
I'm a bit of a grammar nazi, so don't take it personally if I correct you; it's kind or a knee-jerk thing. I love languages and speak French fairly well, and I want to learn more. I'm considering becoming a linguist or translator as a profession. I love the Alethi language, their alphabet in particular and am trying to learn to write it. It takes lots of practice!
As you can read above, Wheel of Time is what pulled me out of my crazy Twilight phase, and it's also how I heard about Brandon. When I heard he was finishing the series, I picked up Mistborn and was hooked. I've read all of his books multiple times - except Elantris, which for some reason I never got into. Maybe I should give it another shot. Don't ask me to pick a favorite, because it's whichever I'm reading at the moment!
I also love to read aloud, and I read to my sister on occasion. So far, we've read Warbreaker and Mistborn 1, and we're working our way through Well of Ascension. (Elend just got deposed! Oh no!) She maintains a firm belief that Kelsier is not dead, and it's become something of an inside joke that Kelsier is actually behind everything that's going on. Kelsier is leading both Cett and Straff's armies. Zane is also Kelsier (Look the scars match!). And Hoid? He's Kelsier too. Makes me eager for when we get to Hero of Ages and "Kelsier" starts giving Spook advice.
I suppose that's me in a nutshell. Any questions?
