Sleightly Very Obsessed (not 'Slightly' Obsessed)

[Kandrafish]

I have a problem:

For years I have tried to convince friends to read Brandon Sanderson books and have, mostly succeeded in getting people to read them. Unfortunately, there has not been a single person who has acquired a deceptively significant obsession for these books that comes close to rivalling my own. They are all progressing through the books too slowly for me to be able to discuss anything with them.

I have been reading cosmere books since 2016. I have read every cosmere book at a minimum three times and developed my own google doc of cosmere theories, while, originally, not looking at any fan forums or the coppermind, or anything... Until last Christmas. At this point, I have had a year of on and off time spent scanning through the coppermind and WoBs as well as listening to the 17th shard youtube channel... I have now realized that there are a lot of people who are equally or more obsessed with these books. I just cannot find them in my general vicinity.

My solution: 

Joining the 17th shard.

 

I guess I would just like to find a place to vent a little and share my mad diagram-like theorizing with some individuals who might actually understand how good or bad my train of thought is and offer some counter-points or corrections. And... perhaps this will save my family from rantings about the cosmere.

Welcome to the Shard! I think all of us have had that problem :P. Glad to have you here!

Welcome home. You've found the crowd of, as our Lord Ruler Chaos says, mega-fans that can share in your obsession.

I have found ONE person in my vicinity to do it with me but I had to introduce it to them

 

 

 

KIND OF.

 

 

 

Want a cookie?

Welcome! We could use some more people on here who do more than make memes and play games. Which order of Knight Radiant is your favorite?

P.S.: Don't eat the cookie; it's likely hemalurgically spiked.

Welcome.  Your only choice is to increase your obsession and add new acolytes to the cosmere religion.  Am I understood my apprentice?

[Thaidakar the Ghostblood he/him]

@Karger is right WE NEEDS MORE ACOLYTES. @AonDoor want to have a cookie yourself? it is really good and totally not spiked

[Kandrafish]

I am glad to be here.

I don't know if I am quite a mega-fan, perhaps more of a kilo-fan...

Yeah... Any suggestions about places where people theorize about the cosmere or weird applications of magic systems. Those are things that I haven't found anyone to engage with on.

To be honest, that is a really hard question. I think I would probably be choose the order of Releasers, but the Truthwatchers would probably be a close second.

I will see if what I can do Master Karger.

Do any of you have any suggestions on where I should start?

If the one I am being offered is suspect, I could probably sell it to a website they seem to always be using them. If the website starts talking to itself, having the mist retract from it, or maybe even slurring its speech, then we will know if the cookie was spiked (hemalurgically or otherwise).
