Chromium Compounder Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Hi, I'm Chromium Compounder. I've been reading Brandon's books since just after Mistborn:TFE came out. He quickly jumped up to be one of my two favorite authors (I bounce back and forth between Brandon and Jim Butcher being my favorite.). I've read all of his stuff, and I always look forward to what he's got on the horizon. I didn't hear about Hoid until I was starting Way of Kings, and one of my friends mentioned him to me. Now when I have time to read I'm going back through the other books and looking for him. I love that he has all of his main books taking place in the same universe, the Cosmere. I think that's so awesome. I'm an amateur author. I've written three novels so far, but none of them were really good enough to publish (although I've read some books that I know aren't as good as some I've written. Not Brandon's stuff, mind you, but still). I'm currently working on one that I think has the potential to be worth publishing, but I only have time to write when I'm not busy with work, or my family. I'm married and have three kids (5, 3, and <1), so between all that and the occasional writer's block my writing isn't going as fast as it used to. Still, I love writing, especially world building. World building is actually how I got into writing. I've been world building since I was about fifteen when I first got into fantasy and sci fi. So, that's me. I picked the name Chromium Compounder because I think that'd be about the coolest thing ever. I'd rather be a Chromium Compounder than a Gold Compounder. I'd carry a gun with lots of ammunition, but I'd never bother learning to aim. I'd avoid gambling so I wouldn't get noticed and tick people off. I'd occasionally decide to go mining for extra money because I'd be sure to hit gold or some other precious metal after only a couple feet of digging wherever I decided to dig. So, hi!

Chromium Compounder Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Oh, and I had the honor of meeting Brandon in person at last year's WorldCon in Reno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realmatist Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 You know, Cortana says to Master Chief that she picked him because he was lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyRioter she/her Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Hello there, yes compounding chromium would be pretty awesome. Though I'd prefer compounding bronze, I hate having to sleep. Also I met Brandon last year when he did a signing in my city. And I love Jim Butcher too.
