@Doc12!

 

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 get rep and cool yellow words under your name.

Does your cat randomly stick itself to the wall? I thought so.

Welcome to the shard! Would you mind telling us what books you’ve read? (Or not read if that list is shorter)

Oh my god I think I am about to DIE from the pure ADORABLENESS of these animals.

Welcome to the shard, I want to snuggle all of your pets.

Mind telling us what books you've read?

[Jdtaylor0788]

I think i have read all the cosmere books about 4 times.  Haha.  Stormlight, Mistborn, Isles of the Emberdark, Warbreaker, Whitesands, Elantris, Yumi and the Nightmare Painter, Triss and the Emerald Sea, Sunlit man,  Arcanum Unbounded

Very good. Very good.

If you could invite any 6 characters to a dinner party, who would you invite?

what’s your favorite magic system from the books?

[Jdtaylor0788]

Oh wow, that is a great question. Let's see...Kaladin, Jasnah, Kelsier, Hoid, Khrissalla, Starling.   The knowledge and passion in that group would be insane.  The arguments between Kaladin an Jasnah would be interesting for sure.  I think Kelsier would also be wild to watch interact with those two.  Especially with Hoid egging it all on.

The favorite magic system is a hard one.  I really like the balance and mathmatic precision from Scadrial.  I also love the passion, oaths and power from Roshar.

4 times? That's like... 3 more than I have!

Alrighty tighty

Do you like Dragons? Wayne? What Twinborn combo (compounding and non) are your favorites? What Radiant Order's Ideals resonate (bud ump ch) the most with you? What Order's Surges do you like the most? Are you currently open to book recs?

Did you know that on the bottom of someone's post, you can click the 'quote' button, and that allows you to easily notify those you are responding too? And that you can highlight text and quote individual parts of a post?

[Jdtaylor0788]

I did not know that!  This is the first forum I have done so thanks for the insight!  How do I highlight text to reply to specific questions?

I really enjoy Sandersons take on Dragons. I can't wait to see more.

  Wayne is one of my favorite characters.  I think everyone underestimates him, even Wax.  He hides his intelligence very very well by pretending to be immature and silly. He also has what would probably be my favorite combo.

  I resonate most with the wind runners. I really like how Brandon wrote the conflict and difficulty of being able to overcome the conflict of wanting to be able to save everyone but accepting that you cant.  They're logical and compassionate.  They will uterly destroy their enemies, but they dont enjoy hurting or killing. I really like the elsecallers surges though.  Just that one fight where Jasna unleashes on the battlefield is just so badass.

 What do you mean book recs?

When you highlight text, a little button will pop up that you can click.

I mean, if I was like, there is this really cool book I like, would you read it?

Alright. What if it wasn’t available as an audiobook? Or if only some of the books in the series were available as an audiobook?

[Jdtaylor0788]

Thats a little more difficult.  I enjoy physically reading too, just no where near the time I would like too do so.  Especially with a good book.

Cmon Hopper. I'm not that obnoxious about it anymore. At this point, you're just being rude.

Ok, so I'm going to recomend you a webnovel, and you can either click the link and read (in my not-so-humble opinion) the best book ever written, or you can not click it, because it is 551 chapters, translated from Korean, and has spelling errors, and I will never know nor judge you for it. I understand some people just don't like these kinds of things, and that is ok.
