Coneboi Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Hello, my name is Brandon Teasley and I am somewhat new to Brandon Sanderson. Brandon Sanderson reeled me in as a fan with his first two books of "The Stormlight Archive" ("The Way of Kings" and "Words of Radiance), not because his first name is the same as mine. I am now reading his Mistborn Trilogy, having just finished "The Well of Ascension" and starting "The Hero of Ages", and am still amazed at how he creates his world so immersively. I want someone to talk to about his books but no one I know is willing to dig into his massive, daunting, and colorful books, which I guess proves that you shouldn't judge books by their covers...or size. Feel free to friend me on Goodreads at "Brandon Teasley" and I look forward to meeting other fans of Brandon Sanderson. 4
Guest Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Welcome to 17s! Have an upvote and a delicious cookie! Who is your favorite Sanderson character so far? As for the "Frodo Underhill", all I have to say is...yeah, that's totally your last name... Again, welcome!
Coneboi Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) Thank you. My favorite character so far would probably have to be Szeth, Kaladin being a close second. Edited February 3, 2015 by FrodoUnderhill 1
vineyarddawg Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Welcome, Mr... uh, "Underhill." /wink wink 2
Guest Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Yeah, Szeth is awesome! I can't wait for his book in the SA. One of my favorites is Siri, from Warbreaker, which by the way, is the awesomest Cosmere book. Have you read it? And have you been lurking here at all, or is this your first time being on?
Coneboi Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 No, I have not read Warbreaker yet, but I look forward to reading it and all of Sanderson's books. I have visited a few times in the past, but only to see what it was about, this is the first time me actually exploring the forums. 1
Guest Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Oh wow. You will get a MAJOR shock about the Stormlight Archive when you read Warbreaker. And I mean MAJOR!
Coneboi Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 Can't wait. I got my first excitement with the Cosmere when I read The Final Empire and realized that the skaa informant for Kel was also from The Stromlight Archive. 1
Guest Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Aha. So you know about Hoid. *cackles* The surprise I'm talking about is bigger...much bigger. You'll have to tell me when you read Warbreaker.
Guest Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Cool. Well, just in case you didn't know, there are all sorts of clans and guilds in the social groups forum, so check that out! *insert shameless plug for the Root Beer Guild and the Dark Alley here*
Coneboi Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 Thanks. Might I ask how I join one of these clans or guilds? 1
Guest Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 For most of them, you just post in the thread and say that you'd like to join. The founder of the Guild or one of their deputies will talk to you pretty quickly. It's fun bit of 17s culture. Some guilds involve some minor role-playing, but mostly, it's a laid-back environment. We do have Guild Wars occasionally. Just check out the Anti-Bakery vs. The Dark Alley thread for one of those. In the Dark Alley, you would be required to sell a spiked cookie to a newbie like yourself before officially becoming part if the DA. For the Root Beer Guild, you just have to like root beer. There are, of course, many more guilds, but those are just the two that I'm part of.
Coneboi Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 Ok, thanks. I think I'll have some root beer. 1
vineyarddawg Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 A word of warning, though... there are some Mistborn series spoilers associated with that guild. You might want to hold off. 3

ostrichofevil he/him Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Have an upvote and a spik cookie! 1
Coneboi Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 I can't find the Dark Alley, only the Root Beer. 3
ostrichofevil he/him Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 It's called "people you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley"
Guest Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Have an upvote and a spik cookie! It's generally considered bad sales technique to notify the victim person in any way that they might not be getting a cookie. Save the strikethrough text until they eat it. Besides, I already sold one here.
Coneboi Posted February 8, 2015 Author Posted February 8, 2015 Hey, I've started reading Warbreaker! I really like the magic system, very unique. 1
