Amira Posted March 22, 2022 Posted March 22, 2022 Hi, I'm Amira. I'm a big fan of the Alcatraz books, so recently I started following Brandon on Instagram for news about book 6. The next thing I know, all hell breaks loose XD. Naturally I decided to catch up on Cosmere books, so I picked up Stormlight (no spoilers please, I'm only on prologue #2), am reading the secret project previews, following the livestreams, etc. Unfortunately, I won't be backing the kickstarter because even though I liked project 1 and loved project 2, project 3 didn't work for me. Did anyone else not connect with one of them, or is it just me? I like that I'm a spren on the forum because I only have one post, lol 5

I am sure you will love it here, it is perhaps the most welcoming fan bases you will ever come across Honestly I didn’t connect with all of the secret projects, it’s your personal preference. I’ve enjoyed some books and couldn’t finish others but I’ve read everything cosmere related and I have no intention of missing anything haha 1

Amira Posted March 23, 2022 Author Posted March 23, 2022 All right, well I'm off to read Stormlight so maybe I can figure out what you guys are talking about.

AonEne he/him Posted March 24, 2022 Posted March 24, 2022 Hey folks, just stepping in as a mod to say that this behavior of taking over and derailing new members' threads with "eat this cookie!" or "no, don't trust the cookies!" (especially before one was even offered) is not allowed. Offering a cookie would be fine on its own, but when it leads to this and makes new Sharders uncomfortable or confused, and potentially chases them off the forums, that is obviously not desirable. We want everyone to feel happy to be here and to enjoy talking here, not to feel creeped out and uncomfortable in what should be their own space, right? For clarification on what is and isn't okay, please message me or create a thread in 17th Shard Discussion so we don't derail this thread any further. Welcome to the forums, Amira! My apologies if you were weirded out. I'm excited for Alcatraz 6 too, even more than some of this new cosmere, I'll admit! Do you have a favorite character in that series? And I hope you enjoy Stormlight too - it won't explain the spikes (nor the cookies, that's a forum in-joke), but it's a very good series. Even if it's more serious than Alcatraz! 3

Honestly, I like the Talents? It seems unclear whether they are sentient so until confirmation that they are not, I'm going to call them my favorite character.

That's a really interesting answer, I hadn't thought of that 1
AonEne he/him Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 Probably Alcatraz (yes, I know, main character - still :P) or Grandpa Smedry. 1
