I have been following this thread since my own reply, and I just wanted to add my own support to this. You're an amazing writer who can juggle so much at once. How about another Mitosis sized story showing how the characters end up afterward? Please~~~

So... I've read most of this thread, though admittedly I was searching for instances of Calamity or Megan to see if anyone was talking about what I had in mind. Now that I've registered, here's what's on my mind: 1- I did love the book, and the ending. Steelheart was my first non-Wheel of Time book from Sanderson (though I've since read everything in the Cosmere other than Warbreaker). The thing is, I didn't know this was a series aimed at Teens (as opposed to the other novels Sanderson writes) at my first impression of Steelheart was that maybe the writer wasn't very good and the foreshadowing was obvious until a friend told me that this was aimed at teens and was meant to be at a different level from his other books. Thus, I loved the ending for what it was: a really interesting story in an interesting world that happens to be written for somewhat younger people. Even now I'm smiling from the nice little ending with David and his father. 2- I REALLY want to know what Calamity's deal was. Up until the end I half-expected it to be someone with a reality-changing power like Megan's, but having changed all of reality. I was even afraid that it was going to be some kind of weird dream by Calamity and the story would be reset. Now I'm left wondering if Calamity was someone from the actual Cosmere. I hope we get answers soon. 3- So... did anyone else not catch that Megan probably wasn't the original Megan? When Larceny/Calamity couldn't take her powers I didn't think too hard on it, but she did hint that every time she died she was afraid it was just a different version of herself returning to take her place. It would explain the memory being fuzzy/missing. My guess was that Calamity couldn't take her powers because she wasn't the version of Megan he gave the powers to originally. It's not a major plot point or a thread left hanging really, just a theory I'm tossing out there. If there ever is a sequel I'd just like to see a side novel with a collection of short stories to kind of fill in the final bits. For example, I'd love to see Firefight's point of view every time he got sucked into the other reality and was made to do terrible things (back when Megan was bad).
