New member - not sure how frequently I will post, but I am am an admirer of this forum

[IKilledAdonalsium4Free]

Greetings - I joined this forum to ask in-depth questions that I may not get answered elsewhere. 

In spite of the snarky username (I may have been running on less-than optimal sleep when I created it!) I am a massive Cosmere fan and have read all published works to date (including Wind and Truth if that needs explicit confirmation).  I haven't read every "Words of Brandon" and in spite of living in close proximity to where the Dragonsteel conventions are held: I have only been once, and I don't know if I will go back (my sole experience was good - people were nice, the events were cool - but it isn't / wasn't something I felt the need to prioritize attending).

I also subscribe to the Shardcast but admittedly only listen sometimes (!) - I tend to search for topics of interest here also.

Hey there! Welcome to the Shard! 

Thanks for telling us what you've read

What's your favorite type of spren?

Welcome to the shard!

What is your favorite non-compounding twinborn combination?

[IKilledAdonalsium4Free]

Thank you!

- Favorite Spren: Mist Spren (I'd be a Truthwatcher)

- Non-compounding twinborn combination:  Ferechemical Bronze (storing wakefulness) & Allomantic Pweter (increase physical strength).  Hardy combination; I realize others may be more impactful.

Welcome to the Shard! I absolutely relate to the problem of less-than optimal sleep username creation

What was your first introduction to Sanderson?

[IKilledAdonalsium4Free]

Thanks all, 

- Sanderson project I am most excited for: anything new in the Cosmere (naturally) but particularly since The Lost Metal I have wanted more Ghostbloods -- like what they were doing / consisted of in that book, not the Rosharan sect per se -- so the next Ghostbloods series is probably what I am most looking forward to.

- My introduction to Sanderson was reading a paperback "Mistborn" book back when it wasn't yet called / dubbed "The Final Empire" - I wasn't engrossed enough to keep reading the other books he wrote at the time, but I remembered how interesting and fun that book was, and I came back to Sanderson after I got into audiobooks a few years back.
