Long-time fan, new to the forum

[ScrawgerDog]

How’d I miss this? Been reading Cosmere for 5+ years. Read everything Cosmere related that Brando’s written other than White Sand. I’m sure I’ve looked something up and landed here many times and finally registered to interact, since you know… there’s always another secret

Any suggestions for interesting forums diving into any aforementioned secrets would be appreciated!

Welcome to the Shard! There's plenty of interesting topics over on the Cosmere subforums if you wish, though there's a variety of other subforums and topics here as well. 

What's your favorite and least favorite Sanderson book?
And if you could have lunch with any character from Sanderson's books, who would it be?

Welcome to the Shard!

Cosmere subforums, as Taln Fan so kindly linked, is a fun place to ask questions or contribute to other theories.

And as others will inevitably suggest, the Community subforum is a place to hang out and have fun with other people. Some roleplaying threads, such as The Longest Thread, are open and you can toss in a character to join the fun! Other threads such as Sanderson Elimination (Some people should show up soon and explain that stuff to you) is a scheduled roleplaying game similar to Mafia, One Night Ultimate Werewolf, Secret Hitler, and some others.

Don't feel bad if you're overwhelmed! It's a lot, and people are very understanding. People are willing to explain stuff or link resources to help. 

With that out of the way, I can get to the important stuff:

Would you rather hang out with Wit or Wayne?

What's your favorite part of Sanderson's novels? World building, magic, characters, or something else?

Welcome to the Shard! You've arrived at the best place on the Internet, filled with the best people, the best desserts, and the best murderous animals! 

Here are a couple of tips to help you settle in to your new place as a cog in the Grand Apparatus that is the Shard:

1. Join S(anderson) E(limination).

2. Familiarize yourself with the most important forums: SE, Cosmere Q&A, and SE.

3. Tell us which books you have and haven't read (this helps us avoid spoilers)

4. HAVE FUN! Make friends!

5.

The more people you interact with, the more people it's acceptable for you to follow, and then those people will feel obliged to follow you. 

And then you can get rep and cool yellow words under your name.

Well the site is generally divided into 2 sections. The Community, and the Very Very Very Smart People Who Have Theories

In the communities will have Roleplays (Roleplaying games with no structure and only plot), forum games, and just general chatting or smaller communities (like where you can become your own radiant in the Let's Be Radiant thread in Social Groups, Clans, and Guilds).

In the Very Very Very Smart People Who Have Theories, you will see people like @Treamayne, shard of WoBs (Words of Brandon, people ask Brandon questions and he answers them) and other people who are posting theories or questions that you can debate with and help understand.

There are plenty of subforums and forums in each, as they are just general categories, but those are the general categories, and you will see similar people frequenting each (Like, aformentioned Treamayne you may never see in communities, and very rarely see me or some other sharders in Very Very Very Smart People (as we are less smart)). You will also find new sharders originally frequent Smart People and then slowly fall down to Communities, while still occasionally popping in.
