Hiiiii it’s me Factor, guess i’m late to make this

[Factor She/Her]

so i’m factor i guess… though i might change that

i’ve already been lurking for a while, but I didn’t make my account until the movies got announced and became paranoid people would think I jumped on the bandwagon from the movies. probably didn’t need to worry, but I’ve actually been reading Sanderson since like 1st grade with Alcatraz. But I just rediscovered him (and discovered the cosmere) this Christmas.

so I’ve been actually active now for like a week, and now I’ve been actually learning about it. like reckoners rp, hemalurgically spiked cookies, whatnot. And now I’ve been figuring out AMAs, so know I’m making this!

So, umm… me. I read. Lately I’ve been seeing how long I can go reading only Sanderson (lasted 3 months with the ones I have) but besides that, I like Anna James (more cozy fantasy, main series about traveling into books) James Riley (one epic, some fractured fairy tales, another about going inside books) and in the “realistic” there’s James Ponti (mystery… why is everyone named James? looked at my shelf and saw James Patterson and James dashner as well… but don’t like them as much.)

my irl friends say I read too much… I insist I don’t but I spend the rest of my time here (or coppermind). Ah well.
Oh yeah, last thing… since way before I was on the shard (well, more like 2 days between account creation, but 2 months between becoming active!) I’ve been editing on the coppermind. I think I’m kind of good at it… so far I fixed taynix/doomslug history (because i couldn’t stand the great Doomslug The Destroyer to stay unfinished. That’s why I joined) and some minor edits, and I’ve been working on making the draulin character page cause it was mostly empty. anyway TL;DR, y’all didn’t need to know all that. ok bye.

also, since I posted this I became a bridgeman! I know I said I’d stop posting to celebrate, but I can put it in existing posts, riiiiight? hope I survive long enough to promote to a rank will lower death rate…

Spoiler

every time i make a topic, i feel like my teacher is saying “add a conclusion!” because i’m terrible at it. so I add spoiler boxes and hope people will think it feels complete and not click on them because they think there’s spoilers.

Welcome to the Shard!

If you're ever on the lookout for more Jameses, James Islington has some good books out there.

One thing to note about sharders: We always click the funny box. Even when there is spoilers... we just... cannot... resist... the... funny... BOX

Sorry I got to your intro post so late, What Radiant Order's Ideals do you think resonate the most with you?

why shouldn’t I put this here? … 

It’s okay! I think… Lightweavers, when it comes to oaths. That’s my order. I considered elsecallers, but I decided that Lightweavers resonate more directly with me.

Nice! I too, am a proud Lightweaver!

Welcome to the shard!

Know that I impulsively click spoiler boxes, and so your conclusions are not safe from me.

Anyway, I also worked on the Coppermind roughly half a year before joining the Shard. I haven't done much, though, because I get a fair amount of my information from the Coppermind instead of the other way around.
