Hi to the skaa, shardbearers, allomancers, etc

[pureintonation she/her]

Hello. I’m pureintonation. I’m writing an OC fanfic based on Roshar :3

I’m in a bit of a Sanderson hole because I want to keep my fic as close to canon as possible. Like it could make sense in the world. It’s like… a challenge for myself to come up with an original story and characters with the constraints of the Cosmere. I hope to keep the momentum going and at least finish and publish Part 1 somewhere on the internet.

Then I need to take a lil break from Brando Sando Can you help me choose between the following? I’m eyeing Howl’s Moving Castle, Earthsea, or Sabriel.

wdym by "help you choose"? Also, I recommend not having the font size so large, as it actually makes it harder to read and takes up a lot of space (ftfy).

Also, here's a FAQ for new users: https://www.17thshard.com/forums/topic/196563-sharder-faq/#comment-1746883

Hahahahaha! I made the post on my phone and have the font there set really large because of my job, I guess it did that automatically. I will edit it.

And I mean, which of the three books should I read?

Are you asking for book recommendations then? Of those three? I've not read any of those, but I watched the Howl's Moving Castle film.

Edit: also, I think your pronoun field should either be empty or have accurate pronouns ("she/her," "he/they," etc.) I don't believe "egg" is appropriate.

Egg has multiple meanings, you know... (not in a bad way)

Anyway, there is a whole reading recommendations thread, and I even added some suggestions there. All the books are in, like, the first two or three posts (by the user Treamayne, who's a really helpful user in general here on the 17th Shard) and organized by genre with some info on each one. Here it is: https://www.17thshard.com/forums/topic/127641-recommended-reading/

Oh it does look interesting. And i love a way to trick my brain into thinking we’re taking a very normal doomscroll before bed (but actually reading)

Huh it’s been a minute since I read anything else besides Stormlight. So all the magic system rules are fuzzy. 
 

but for the sake of creativity i’ll pick one and try to make it work

i guess like theoretically you could build a machine and kinda like program each part to do a task with a Breath, no? As far as I know it doesnt run out either so the machine would be powered forever
