Green Fire he/him Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) New guy 3,994 My bad, couldn't edit the topic. Long time lurker. I hope Rubix is hungry when he tries to buy any bagels by trading in my merchandise. I will laugh; because the check will bounce. Also, the government may track him down for the attempt, since I currently am not in ownership of any Immortal Soul(s). (Signed it over on a 6 year term to Uncle Sam's Navy.) I figure in essence, I can enjoy this forum without any risk to my soul, and it will work in pretty much the same way Attica Smedry managed to get out of the Library of Alexandria. Can't sell what ya don't own. I had wanted to go to the Signing in Baltimore next week. But, working again on the off day. I'm kinda upset about that. I'm not usually that big a poster on forums, but I was on avatarspirt.net years back under this name and, it has kinda stuck. I'll mostly chime in if I think I've noticed something others' haven't. So, with a fandom this organized, and one that has read unpublished works I've no access to. I can't imagine that happening often. I Digress... Probably the main reason I've lurked as long as I have; is that I only own The Alcatraz series on Audiobook and wanted to use the name Bibloden (SP?) Smedry. (Based on A theory I have based around the Scrivener/ Evil cult founder being a jealous younger brother to the Smedry Heir). Well... I wasn't sure how to spell his name. I'll prolly make that post in the underused Alcatraz section eventually. Just wanted to introduce myself. Mistborn was the 1st fantasy book I ever REALLY read for pleasure. I borrowed a copy from the wife of a guy at my old work center. (tho I always enjoyed reading back in school... mostly) So I am one of the minatory who has read Brandon before RJ. But I love all of Brandon's work, And he has led me to really appreciate the craft of writing through his podcasts and such. /end Wall of Text.

Kurkistan he/him Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Welcome to the forums! Always good when a lurker comes out of the shadows. If you want to get ahold of another of Brandon's books, Warbreaker is free for download from his site. Don't worry about people with super-secret knowledge: only a handful of the staff are that special, and they don't use their power for evil. On an unrelated note, an Admin will probably be along shortly to give you a spike to the face free cookie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Fire he/him Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 O I read Warbreaker as soon as I finished her hero of ages copy I had borrowed. Those four books were the only Brandon books she had. Since then I have read pretty much everything. And I did manage to make it to the Baltimore signing. I just drove 4+ hours through the night right in to she ship to take a 3 hour nap before work rather then go back to the barracks to sleep. I felt so giddy it was ridiculous. I made it in pretty early to the BAM and was still #199. There were so many people! I had so many awesome nerd conversations and did some harmless flirting with the yogurt girl (Who liked my Doctor Who shirt). So work today sucked and I should probably sleep... but it was worth going to. And I asked Brandon A MtG question which is what I spend much of my time and $ on. OhOOO FREE COOKIE!!! WHERE?

Windrunner he/him Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Hey dude, glad to have you here! I'm super jealous of the fact that you met Brandon, I haven't gotten the chance yet. I hope you like the forums and have fun here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
