Deoradhan Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Hi, all. As is my custom across the internet, I go by the name Deoradhan. I first became acquainted with the works of Brandon Sanderson via a link from the time-devouring monstrosity known as tvtropes.org, and their excellent article on Mistborn. From there, I started Warbreaker, finished the Mistborn trilogy, and found myself fascinated with the magic systems and cultures presented therein. It was a natural step from there to peruse the annotations on the website, followed shortly by taking the finely-crafted link to this website. Having lurked for a short time, the discussion seemed interesting enough that I wanted to join in. As for myself - I am an 18-something Calgarian student intending to enter into a study of economics. In the rare time I am not reading, I can be found playing tennis, skiing, and debating. I look forward to a long time of enjoyable discussion. 2
Ironeyes Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Welcome aboard. One of the senior members should be along any time now with a cookie. And then Chaos will come with a spike.
Emeralis00 she/her Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 No, you will be distracted by the cookie. 2
Zas678 he/him Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 And beware of Joe- he will attempt to capture your soul by giving you what he calls "a nickname". Seriously though, welcome! We're glad to have you on our site. Depending on your length and depth of lurking, you may want to check out Cosmere 101. Economics eh? So what are you hoping to do with that? 1
Deoradhan Posted February 19, 2012 Author Posted February 19, 2012 Oh, well I suppose that's a relief
Joe ST he/him Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 And beware of Joe- he will attempt to capture your soul by giving you what he calls "a nickname". :D darn, now I'm going to have to think of one That's certainly an interesting way to come about an author, via TVTropes... lol, had you read any WoT before hand? I come back to you on the nickname
CrazyRioter she/her Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 :D darn, now I'm going to have to think of one That's certainly an interesting way to come about an author, via TVTropes... lol, had you read any WoT before hand? I come back to you on the nickname well they say TvTropes is a gateway drug..... 1
Deoradhan Posted February 19, 2012 Author Posted February 19, 2012 Yeah, I had read some WoT, but I came to it the same way, so... Yeah, the gateway drug comment is completely appropriate. I've discovered a whole bunch of stuff I really liked via it. Hey, by the way, I've never read Elantris before. And I thought it could be cool to do a commentated, chapter-by-chapter read through. I've read everything else cosmere-y, aside from the unpublished works, so that could be an interesting perspective. What forum would it be appropriate for me to post something like that in?

Joe ST he/him Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 or set up a blog for it, much like Child Bahkbar is doing for Well of Ascension.
Zas678 he/him Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 I second Joe. I know that I would read it. The first time you read a book always seems to be the best, and it's interesting to see what people guess partway through.
