Unite Them he/him Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) Finished tWoK and WoR in 3 days and am now racing through the Mistborn books. So much cosmere catching up to do. In addition to just enjoying Sanderson's wonderful books I am intrigued by this Adonalsium concept. Pleasure to meet you all. If you need me I'll be in the corner of the ballroom reading stacks of books. Also my first actual post: http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/48960-surgebinding-vs-allomancy/ Edited November 7, 2015 by Unite Them 6
Elbereth she/her Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Hi! Welcome to the 17th Shard! So you've read Stormlight and part of Mistborn. Anything else? And how did you find Sanderson?
TheMightyLopen he/him Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Wow! You read both of them in 3 days?! I can understand why though! I love those books!!! I can't wait for the next one! Welcome to The 17th Shard! Have an upvote!
Unite Them he/him Posted November 7, 2015 Author Posted November 7, 2015 Hi! Welcome to the 17th Shard! So you've read Stormlight and part of Mistborn. Anything else? And how did you find Sanderson? A friend recommended him over 2 years ago. Then I recently had to go on a long road trip. So I got the Way of Kings on Audible. Hooked. I have read both of the current Stormlight books, The Final Empire, and am currently on chapter 14 of The Well of Ascension. After I finish this book I will be going back to just listening to audiobooks. Partially because I just enjoy them in that format but mostly because I don't want to finish everything in the cosmere before Stormlight 3 comes out. 2

Unite Them he/him Posted November 7, 2015 Author Posted November 7, 2015 And here I was relishing my monopoly on top hats in profile pics...how the mighty fall... Can I interest you in a delicious cookie? I accept your cookie and raise you one frothy stout beer.
Elbereth she/her Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 I walk away from my computer for one hour... *sigh*
KidWayne he/him Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 @ Unite Them You shouldn't have taken that cookie, dude. Finish Mistborn, then come back and do a forum search for "the Dark Alley." After that, you'll better understand Kipper's maniacal laughter. I don't know whether to praise or scold Kipper for picking on the new guy like that. It was impressively underhanded; I mean the new guy was all, "Thanks for the cookie, mate! Have a beer." That's cold-blooded, Kipper. WARNING for Unite Them: Be sure to finish all three Mistborn books before looking up the dark alley, you'll spoil some pretty major plot details if you check it out before you finish the books.
Guest Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 I, uh, I don't know what you're talking about. I was simply expressing amusement at the way the word "frothy" contrasted with "stout" to create almost a portmanteau of ear candy. That is all.

Alright but it can't be worse than Rock's dung stew. 1

[...] WARNING for Unite Them: Be sure to finish all three Mistborn books before looking up the dark alley, you'll spoil some pretty major plot details if you check it out before you finish the books. SO, um, consider giving the fella a link? I did the search as you recommended it. Due to the Dark Alley being in user signatures, it returns 271 threads and there's no way to tell which topic you're pointing him to... (I'm new here too and I can't figure out what there dastardly Dark Alley rogues are about either.)
KidWayne he/him Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 Voidus is the "first lurker of the Dark Alley" he has a link in his signature that points to the post that coined the Dark Alley stuff. The link is under the spoiler tag below. Dark Alley*: Link There's also this: Dark Alley - Non-Hemalurgic Research Division *Considering the nature of this post, I was really tempted to disguise the link and have it send you to some unsavory place on the internet, but then I remembered that kids and teenagers hang around here and that catching some 13 year old noob with some hyperlink misdirection would just be in bad taste. However, please understand that I wanted to be evil to honor my colleagues.
Guest Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 Seriously, don't open that spoiler if you haven't read Mistborn. And the link to the actual real Dark Alley thread is , with a related one here. Again, do not go to these until you have read Mistborn.
