tarts4days Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Hello and sorry if this is already a thing, I'm a tad new here. Over the past few months of following Brandon on social media, i have seen that he has a pretty big contingent of writers. It got me wondering, he's awesome, so there's a good chance you folks who like him and are writers don't suck. So if by chance you need another set of eyes to read some stuff for feed back. I would love to be that dude 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to be that dude I would never presume to declare myself a writer in the same sentence as the name "Brandon Sanderson" is uttered, but if you're really darn angry at Santa Claus, I have the thing for you. The RP's elsewhere on the site are also packed with people's good writing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarts4days Posted December 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 damnation, that was 50% right in the feels and 50% got me thinking.. The Santa your mad at that doesn't relate to your family, are you eluding to how if big business spent a fraction of what they did shoving that crap at us and used it for good the world would e a better place?

Patar Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 This isn't very good at all, but I just finished the first chapter of a project I'm working on. I'd love to see what you think! This is my first time trying something like this, so it is pretty bad, but I hope that you at least find it interesting! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1T0Urf9YQ8YyVCLgqpe0u3RCnwBT729gZwtHL6IbmkDE/edit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It set up the characters and setting perfectly, and just the prefect touch of lightness to outline the harshness in the scenes. Truth be told I'd read that book in a heart beat. Also side note how you peppered in the lore was also great. It left me wanting to know what all that "cards" stuff will turn out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seonid Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 I've got a short story here and a creation myth here (although it sorely needs to be updated). Most of the rest of the stuff I've done here has been worldbuilding, but I'm going to get more actual writing up here over the Christmas break, I hope.

I'm going to start chapter two soon, but I don't know when I'll get to it with finals and all that coming up. It will be from a different viewpoint, a character who is able to make use of the Cards. I'll explain how they work a bit more in that chapter. Glad you liked it, and thanks for reading! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViceVersus Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Are you interested in hearing ideas about characters (twin-born) I wanted to fan-fiction in the Mistborn setting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kestrel Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 I used to write disgusting wolf novels. That I'm never showing to anyone. Ever. Meh, I never have any good plot ideas. My plots are so bland. So I flat gave up on writing a while ago. Sighs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViceVersus Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) Can post this repost from Fan Fiction? Hey all, Vice, nice to meet you all. I have a couple of character ideas based on the infrastructure Mr. Sanderson created with the twinborn addition to Scadrial.A group of talented mistings and ferrings split from the familiar lands under the influence of the Lord Mistborn. They journeyed to the lands furthest from civilization to start a new way of life based on the philosophy of perfecting the art of allomancy and ferruchemy. Over time the masters developed their ideas and created a synthesis between burning allomantic fuel and perfection of movement. This combination of mastery generated the primary component of this new art, "pulsing (vs. "burning")"Pulsing is a consistent consumption of allomantic fuel cycled and maintained by a misting. Average consumption is likened more to an automobile engine, revving the output with a pedal-push modality. Pulsing regulates the output to a wave or a frequency. The high and low cycles maximizes fuel consumption and promotes precision control of output.Enter our first character, Locke Smythe, iron compounder: lifelong practice with tai chi chuan has given him absolute control of his core movement. Combining iron pulling with perfect spatial positioning allows him to influence the trajectory of a yanked object, hulahooping an object around himself to launch at opponents, very much like chained weapons. As a child, Locke was made to practice orbiting a dripping paintbrush around himself while standing on parchment. His masters used his "paintings" as a measure of his control. Locke had to maintain the initial speed and momentum by modulating his pull. Rhythmic timing, giving just enough pull to alter its trajectory and momentum, can create extremely controlled figure eight patterns which intuitive proficiency can weaponize. Once Locke proved his mastery over his "pulse" weapon he began training his control over accessing and storing his weight to and from his ironmind. His masters would position needles above and below him while having him maintain his perfect weight to hold position between them (while tethered so the wind wouldn't blow him away). Once he developed intuitive control over his weight modulation he had to practice jumping "light"(with reduced weight) and falling"heavy" to light soft landing, in sequence with spinning studded boards offset to give him safety only as he continues to jump and land unerringly. Locke soon found that by launching his weapon skyward and then lightening himself enough to be yanked by his pull on his airborne weapon he could weapon toss himself as far up and as far away as he wanted. To land he adds weight enough to descend at a comfortable speed and around twenty to ten feet above landing he sends the weapon skyward again pulse-pulling himself to a controlled touchdown.Further training experimentation has turned Locke into a competent airborne opponent capable of chasing down escaping coinshots. Currently he is developing an bow-launched gauntlet that can fire serrated pins, shuriken and bolts that dig deep in opponent flesh and create metal anchors he can use to control the victim's position. Once captured, Locke can then parabola-whip his enemies around himself and launch them at their allies or merely distort their positioning in melee combat destroying their balance and dropping them negative space or placing them inside his range. Opponents can be kicked away and yanked back for more destruction all while the anchor is moving inside their flesh. Some success has been had in launched clawed chains that dig into armor and become sturdy anchors for Locke's manipulation. In a pinch, bullets or leadshot become reliable tools for manipulation. I invite thoughts, criticisms, witticisms and the like-ViceGraphic included below: Edited December 6, 2015 by ViceVersus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the most extreme example, an attempt I made at writing a script for Troma where a frat boy steals the Golem of Prague and reanimates it to be fueled by meth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not... Pepsi, or root beer, or milk, or one of a thousand other substances that're cheaper and less hazardous to come by? Sheesh, in my day we studied practical reanimation techniques. More seriously, was there an in-universe reason for it being powered by meth, or was it more of a symbolic thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
