In 5 years…

[LightRinger he/him]

This is a game I just thought of.

The way it goes is that you make a statement about a person on the Shard for what they’ll be like in five years. I’ll go first with a few examples.

In 5 years, I’ll be a permanent HG GM for all games. 
 

In 5 years, @Edema Rue will be “Grandma Eddie” and she’ll be a sweet old lady even though she won’t be that old. 
 

In 5 years, @Dragonheir will be the king of forum theories and ask all the illuminating WoB questions. 
 

(Not all of them have to be true or likely, some can be sarcastic or jokes, like:

In 5 years, @J. Magi will become an actual magician, specializing in Sharpie magic. Get it?

be nice, be kind, have fun

Also how cool would it be if this thread was open in 5 years and we could compare?

[BlueWildRye he/him]

In 5 years, I will be known as an author.

In 5 years, @Through The Living Glass will have gained and lost the Sandwich 631,631 times.

[strmblsd he/him]

In 5 years I will be murdered by random people who hate me.

HOW IS “SWEET OLD GRANDMA EDDIE” NOT UNDER THE SARCASTIC/JOKES SECTION??

I shall never be a sweet old lady, just a viscous one who attacks people with a cane

In 5 years, @The Bookwyrm will be on the moon.

[Pineap-spider Pineapple/Spider]

In five years, Sanderson will be on secret project 14, and I’ll be dirt poor from buying everything he puts out. 

[Cash67]

In 5 years, I’ll have a PhD in Physics

and yeah @The Bookwyrm is either gonna be in training to be on the moon or part of mission control sending someone else.

Huh. In five years I think I still won’t have gotten around to writing most of my ideas down. But maybe? 

 

*almost checks the Brandon writing calendar. Decides not to.* 

In five years there’ll be around 30 secret projects, but still no Nightblood book.

I'm not strong or brave enough for that. I'm a little lanky nerd guy, not a physically fit astronaut.

See! Doesn’t everyone think Eddie’s like 50 or something? (Sorry, Eddie, but it’s true.) 

IFY @Koloss17 will become a F-Tin overlord in real life, through sheer force of will. (And maybe Hemalurgy)

If it makes you feel better, I imagine you in the 15-17 range.

Can confirm Eddie is old (I say as I am probably half a decade older, a foot taller, and half the nerd she is)

Um NO, you’re at least 4 decades older. Also, you’re unfairly tall (like the rest of the shard). And 1/2 of 0 is 0, so…
