Hey there! Welcome to the Shard!

Since you're new, why don't you tell us a little about yourself (and also which of Brandon's books you've read)?

(Also, just as a word of advice, there are some people on here who may be a little sensitive to swearing, so if you would refrain from doing it in the future it would be greatly appreciated. Not trying to make you feel guilty or anything, just pointing it out! )

[ANHlittleinsane girl but gendern't mostly]

Hi! Mkay, so a bit abt myself idk, I draw…??? Sometimes…I write in my free time so I alternate between sounding like a teenager and spouting out poetic deep stuff, and I have three cats, yeah those are kinda my most defining features other than that I am a menace to society who unironically does things for the lore. I’ve read all of the five Stormlight books, currently reading the third Mistborn book, read all of Mistborn Era Two, Tress, Sunlit Man, Reckoners, Ars Arcanum, and I’m currently reading Yumi and the Nightmare Painter

(Sorry abt the swearing, my friends curse casually a bit and I totally forgot to swap into Other People mode)

Perfect and thank you!

What's your favorite type of spren?

[ANHlittleinsane girl but gendern't mostly]

Lightweaver! Prolly because I’m creative and artistic and all of that jazz and I would also rather admit profound secrets to a sentient squiggle of lines than hold myself accountable to a couple of words

[Going_North_cal]

Read that topic title and immediately thought of you (whatever you look like) giving your tedtalk but the only sound coming out of your mouth is Animal Crossing talk.

Full-8-hours-of-sleepspren supremacy…they’re very rare though

Yeah that’s basically just what I look like talking anytime, nothing can describe how much I relate to Renarin forgetting to say words sometimes because he’s thinking too fast for his mouth

Please keep in mind that this is the Introduction Forum. For a discussion like that, it should be posted in the Cosmere section to either Stormlight Archive or Cosmere Discussion (depending on if stories outside of Roshar will be discussed. Each forum section has a nifty blurb on the Main Page. Also, Spoiler Policy requires that Wind and Truth discussion remains in the Spoiler Zone until the new release spoiler period has ended, so you could use either of those forums instead if you will discuss SA5 material. 

Examples:

Personally, I don't think it's a stretch of the rules for Lore Enthusiast to list some of their head canons here in an introduction thread. Deeper discussion would warrant a new thread in a different section, but that wasn't the vibe I was getting. Of course, there's no reason to debate this and if you think it'd be better start a new thread, then we totally can.

In fact, I've been considering making a thread specifically for head-canon discussion because I haven't seen one on here yet, perhaps this is a sign to finally do that.

Please see PM. This is not the place for spoilers in thread titles or content. That is why we have discussion forums. 

[Mags she/they]

Alrighty, Treamayne's right to say we should start a new thread, so I made a headcanon thread if you're still interested in giving us your ted talk 

Sorry for derailing your intro thread! That's my bad as I misunderstood some of the rules.

To hopefully change the subject back to getting to know you:

Do you like bagels? If so do you have a favorite kind?
