  1. I'm sad and dissapointed that there won't be a splintercast for Oathbringer, or possibly ever (Cant accept this!). In a way, I never expected there to be splintercast for any other works than Stormlight Archive, and was very much looking forward to Oathbringer. It was the main "work" in a way. However I do understand that regardless of what the real reasons are, it must have taken a lot out of you to do this, I do not think I would have been able to do anything similar (I'm to quiet, and reads very intensly), not to mention, having to wait until alone, and with a microphone. I mentioned in an earlier comment that I think that it is great to be able to look into the mind of another fan reading the book, and it could maybe be interesting if someone else felt up to the task of doing Oathbringer. This would enable us to get a different set of experiences of the book, widen the perspective so to speak. But even so, If you would be up to it (depending on the reasons of course), it would be interesting to get splintercast in some light form from you Feather, like comments after chapters, liveblogging, you name it. It's of course up to you, but I personally would like to have some sort of glimpse of a Oathbringer Splintercast in some way. If this really is the end of Splintercast, Thank you feather for giving so much of yourself to us listening, it has been wonderful!
  2. Lately I've identified myself with Dalinar. I like him hold myself to a pretty strict code, partially out of the feeling of being weak to temptations, and therefore need to control myself strictly. Take candy for example, I can abstain completely, but as soon as I give myself some leeway, I become a total sweet tooth, who can't stop
  3. @Extesian I think that you need to split your spoiler content into multiples spoilers. Everything does not seem to fit in it confusingly enough. After a while the text just continues under the next post for me.
  4. Welcome to the forums! I hope you will grow to like it here. So, do you have any drawings you would like to share, or see other's drawings? I think the Creator's Corner sub-forum might be a good place for you then. There is a lot of theorizing going on around the forum as well, so If you like that sort of stuff, you have quite a lot to read! Once again welcome!
  5. Welcome to the forums, I hope you will find your place here. That said, I find myself agreeing with some of the points raised by others here and I think that the tone of your letter is what some of us are having issues with. What is bringing us together here is a love for Brandon Sandersons books, and we might not always like all of his decisions, but we can generally agree that he is doing what he believes to be the right decisions for these books. Some of us might give some feedback, and tell him what we liked and did not like as much. I think your letter comes of as not suggesting something that you might like take a bigger place, but as telling him that he is doing it wrong, and the telling him what he should do. Expressing the same "feedback" as "I feel that there is to much of this and to little of that" instead might make it more likely to give effect, as well as triggering discussion about how explicit sexual relationships should be for example. This would also make it sound less like you are demanding these changes. If you write your opinions in a less "strong" style, and more diplomatic style, I think that you would find a good home here, as most posts is motivated by opinions in one way or another. As a final note, I do not think that sex should be much more explicit in the books, but I do respect that you would like that.
  6. I recently came back to this site after some time away, and I was delighted that there was more Shardcast to be heard. As far as I remember, only WoR existed back then. And now there was this massive amount of new episodes. But sadly, I'm through them now :-( I really love this these recordings, partly I admit because some of the hilarious reactions that sometimes turn up. However, I think that one of the main parts that I like is to get into the head of another fan, especially one so different to me in so many ways as Feather is. And listening to her reacting to these books that I love gives me another perspective. For example, I am as far from a linguist as possible, but I do enjoy the tidbits of that world, and its connections to these books. I do not get as emotionally involved the characters, and it is fascinating to listen to someone who does, and get to know a different view of them. I did not for example notice Renarin as much to begin with, but I now notice him as a little more a side character. It is also fascinating to get the views on plot, and phrases from someone else that writes stories, as that is not something that I am good at at all. I could continue for a while, but to summarize, I appreciate the different ways we enjoy the books, and how it gives glimpses into another world. So I would like to thank you Feather for giving us the opportunity to experience the books in your head so to speak, and for giving me insights into a very different world than my own than my own regular life. Thank you /Binnut
  7. For some of us, there's not even a translation to our own language. Not that I would read it in Swedish even if it got translated, I original language is often best, if you can read it well.

    Read And Find Out. Meaning he won't / can't tell you right now, you might be able to read about it later. Welcome to the forums.
  9. I played a year or two back, lvl 6 resistance. We were completely outnumbered at my uni, so it quickly became quite frustrating.
  10. The weakness could then be the mention of Zombies, or Hell since it reminds them of the fear.
  11. I also remember Megan saying in Steelheart that her shield jacket fails all the time. It is written in a context that makes it seem like it's working, but often fails, but the reality is probably that it fails literally all the time. They weren't able to use the "harmsway" to heal her either.
  12. That is actually what stops me... I would really like to have those, but the 120 dollar is too high for me.
  13. Welcome! There are spikes in them =)
