  1. [Ignore this, just a template post for me to come back to when making new posts, because formatting's a pain in the bum to do from scratch.]

    Warning: This includes spoilers for {spoiler warning, if applicable (usually unpublished stuff, if I need to warn instead of just using the right forum)}, make sure to read that first!

    (0.) TL;DR

    {Quick summary of the conclusion}

    {Short mention of the biggest open questions left, or things this theory intentionally does not try to answer yet.}

    (1.) {First Leg of the Theory}

    Spoiler

    {Quick preview or intro of this argument}

    • {A piece of evidence}[citation needed]
    • {Second evidence that should connect}[citation needed]
    • {Third that should start to make the picture clear}[citation needed]
    • {Fourth bit, which hopefully by now should be enough, though more is always welcome}[citation needed]

    {Rundown of what this means}

    (2.) {Leg Number Two}

    Spoiler

    {Try and transition to the new topic, else intro it normally if not directly connected}

    • {A piece of evidence}[citation needed]
    • {Second evidence that should connect}[citation needed]
    • {Third that should start to make the picture clear}[citation needed]
    • {Fourth bit, which hopefully by now should be enough, though more is always welcome}[citation needed]

    {Sum up this bit as well}

    (3.) {The Actual Theory}

    Spoiler

    {Start explaining why the above concepts are related.}

    • {Here's the theorized relation}
    • {Maybe another step needed to explain it?}
    • {Some potential ramifications if this is true}
    • {Other things implied if it's right that we could expect to see, to verify?}

    {Conclude, summarize, etc}

    (4.) {Unresolved Questions}

    Spoiler

    {Spiel about some questions being left}

    • {Something else that should fit but doesn't?}[citation needed]
      • {Potential explanation?}
    • {Is a deeper connection there that can't be explained yet?}[citation needed]
      • {Looser theories on it?}
    • {Implications that don't match up with what we see?}[citation needed]
      • {Alternate reason for these flaws?}

    (I.) References

    Spoiler
    1. {Book source that I'm quoting a significant number of sections from, so not posting every relevant section, necessarily}

    2. {Post this builds on that you should read first}

    3. {WoB source}

      Spoiler

      Questioner

      {Some relevant question}

      Brandon Sanderson

      {Fancy answer (that might answer the question, or might miss the point entirely but reveal other details by mistake)}

    4. {Book source that's available online, such as sample chapters}

      Spoiler

      {Quote from the sample, which odds are it's Dragonsteel Prime or Warbreaker if the link's available online}

    5. {Book source}

      Spoiler

      {Quote from the book, probably involving something weird}
