MerryBerry she/her Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Hey y'all! I'm new here, and thought I'd introduce myself. It's taken me a couple of days, of course, because I am easily distracted by... well, lots of things. I am a budding... er... struggling freelance artist, Disney-addict, avid swing dancer, and lover of all things vintage. I also quite enjoy baking, crossword puzzles, cryptograms, and NASCAR, among other things. Strange combination, I know. Anyway, your friendly neighborhood admin, KChan, had been telling me about Mistborn for the longest time, and when I finally gave in to reading it, she bought the trilogy for me for Christmas. I've always preferred to draw than read, but I found myself unable to put the books down. I blew through the first two with surprising speed, considering my life-long aversion to reading, and I'm currently making my way through The Hero of Ages. I'm pretty darn excited to read more once I'm finished! (Suggestions?) And now, after some encouragement, I'm here. Me and my nerdy self. Should be fun! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KChan she/her Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) Merry is here at last! Wahahahaha! Welcome! Have our customary cookie. As for suggestions, I'd pick Alloy of Law for you next. Then Warbreaker, maybe? Or Alcatraz. Those are fun, and a quick read. EDIT: Upvoted for the Tobuscus reference.

KChan she/her Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Actually, I'd go with Elantris before Way of Kings. Things match up better that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link Von Kelsier Harvey he/him Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Welcome Merry Berry. Bless your face. If you sneezed while writing this intro, bless you. Peace off! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zas678 he/him Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Welcome! I love your picture. It's fantastic. I hope you enjoy yourself here. And I second the opinion of Elantris before Way of Kings. Oh! And don't forget Warbreaker. I'd read that before Way of Kings too. (Though Elantris is my favorite of the three. But maybe that's just for sentimental reasons). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerryBerry she/her Posted January 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Thanks for the suggestions and the welcomes! Alloy of Law it is (for now). I'll be making another trip to my local Barnes&Noble soon, so now I know what to shoot for! I'm de-lurking in order to welcome you cause you're special. Welcome to 17S! And yeah, Alloy of Law...then Warbreaker...then Way of Kings! xD Yay, I'm special! Welcome Merry Berry. Bless your face. If you sneezed while writing this intro, bless you. Peace off! You get a point for that. And thank you, I believe I did sneeze while writing this intro. I have a feeling I'm going to like it here. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe ST he/him Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Well hello there miss Berry, great to have you aboard. An obligatory watch out for Eric/Chaos is in order...he likes to stalk the ladies. XD Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerryBerry she/her Posted January 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Thanks, Joe! It's good to be here! Please, call me Merry, or Mer, whichever is easiest to remember... or type... because Meredith is way too long. XD And thanks for the warning. I'll be sure to stay on my toes.

KChan she/her Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Psh, everyone knows it's the spikes you have to watch out for. I mean, what? I didn't say anything. Why are you looking at me like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, you are going to like the end of Hero of Ages. Hurry your butt up I'm Chaos, the forum admin and theory guy. I'm around a lot! Well hello there miss Berry, great to have you aboard. An obligatory watch out for Eric/Chaos is in order...he likes to stalk the ladies. XD Joe Hey. Hey. Hey. I do not stalk 17th Sharders, nor do I date 17th Sharders. You're safe. I date 17th Sharders' roommates. Get it right. (This is a true story, my girlfriend was roommates with a 17th Sharder. And yes, I say this fully knowing Joe and Eero are going to freaking paste this statement in every girl's intro thread now. Sigh ) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerryBerry she/her Posted January 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 You hush! XP I'm hurrying! I can't help that suddenly people want me to do art for them... which means more money for books. And swing dancing. And cupcake ingredients. I honestly wasn't too worried about you stalking me, but it's nice to be reassured. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KChan she/her Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Are they ingredients for Mistborn Swing Dancing cupcakes? Because that would be awesome. .... I just had an idea for our next Random Adventures... XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerryBerry she/her Posted January 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Hahahaha! Yes! It needs to happen next time we're in the same county. Oh my gosh, could you imagine taking Mistborn-themed cupcakes to a Swing Knights dance? People would give us funny looks, I think. "What on earth are all these symbols for?!" Or, they just wouldn't care because, well... it's free food. Swing dancers love free food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KChan she/her Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Either that, or they'd think they're some sort of weird tribal symbols or something. I actually ran across a random RP site that used the Allomantic symbols as the insignia of a collection of Vampire-hunter clans. When asked why, the admin of the site responded that it was because they look cool and no one would recognize them as being from Mistborn. It was really bizarre. o__O And we'll just have to take pictures so our fellow Sharders can enjoy them too! (Or, you know, said fellow Sharders could come swing dancing with us... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerryBerry she/her Posted January 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 I think I remember you showing me that site, actually. As for the cupcakes, pictures would be taken, definitely! But, that last part. It should happen. Because it'd be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
