BlueNinja Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 I read, re-read, and analyzed Brandon's books since the 6th grade. I was originally introduced to his books by a childhood friend who suggested Steelheart to me. I really enjoyed it and thought it was the best take of the then popular YA dystopian archetype. By the end of 8th grade I had read everything he had published at the time and discovered the Cosmere. Through high school I slowly found Brandon's official website, the Coppermind, and 17th Shard. I recently was able to work Shardcast into my podcast rotation and have been working through the archive (might take awhile). Up until now I have been hesitant to get too deep into the Sanderson fandom - because I have been busy trying to get my associates in high school, have a job, and still talk to people every once in a while - but now I am ready to join my fellow Worldsingers, Radiants, and Feruchemists. As a question to the forum: Is the community more active on this site or on the various Subreddits? If they are equal: What is the division between the two? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honorless Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 Generally more active here but Reddit's got some quality discussions too. I'll put them on about the same footing really. Though this site's format lends itself better to debates & discussions, imo. Reddit does have us beat at cremposting So you got into Sanderson via the Reckoners? Have you heard of Worm? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iarwainiel I Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) Welcome to the Shard! I agree this site is active & good re: discussions. To me, it's also more manageable than Reddit/sub-Reddits - - I can mentally keep track of who's proposing what theories & not feel like I might slide down the proverbial rabbit hole & get lost for hours. One other aspect about these forums (no idea if it's also true re: Reddit) is that Peter and a bunch of Dragonsteel folks prowl around here and are active. Many of Brandon's beta readers are active here too. It's a terrific resource, and IMO people are positive and encouraging here, sometimes amazingly so. Glad you're joining us!

BlueNinja Posted February 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 I have not heard of Worm. I haven't re-read the Reckoners since Calamity was released. I figured Reddit would win in the cremposting just due to format. Thanks for the advice all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wander89 Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 Welcome to the Shard! Most Sanderson media is pretty active. The forums are a great place but the subreddits are also pretty active which a few of us are actually moderators for! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
