Rasarr she/her Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Hello! Name's Rasarr, and I'm a writer... well, aspiring writer, at any rate. Also an adept online cheerleader and a Person Who Never Understands Sarcasm, Ever. I've got drawn into the forums after reading through the pages of threads on translating codes and scripts of Stormlight Archive and becoming enamored with your hive mind-esque skills at theorizing and figuring stuff out. I got introduced to Cosmere by Alloy of Law cover in the local bookstore, which had the title translated to my native tongue so clunkily, I just had to check out what's up with it. As you can guess, the translated title didn't do the book justice. Fast forward half a year, I've got pretty much everything read and have begun the process of re-reading. (It's a cycle. I read, re-read, then read stuff that has come out during the re-read, then re-read again...) Favourite is probably Stormlight Archive and it's many, many mysteries, which explains how I found myself here. If you offer me cookies, I'll probably decline. Unless they're with chocolate, then I'll probably steal the whole plate. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam9ryn Stormblessed Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Welcome! I am, and I'm sure many others are like you in that we reread books, especially those by Brandon Sanderson. Also, I am not so sure eating an entire plate of any cookies is safe these days. The Dark Alley has been quite crafty recently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaymyth she/her Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 ... That is somewhat worrying. The Dark Alley treats hemalurgy as a spice. You'll find that all of their cookies have a rather metallic flavor to them. But, you know, if that's your thing... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voidus Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 What about if I offered you a plate of chocolate cookies that would give you the ability to Soulcast annoying people into chocolate statues? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasarr she/her Posted January 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 What about if I offered you a plate of chocolate cookies that would give you the ability to Soulcast annoying people into chocolate statues? Hmmm. I'd certainly take it under consideration. What's the fine print? And, while I'm asking questions, just what is the Dark Alley? *feels kind of stupid as it's probably a Cosmere reference she should've recognized on sight* 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam9ryn Stormblessed Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) It's not a cosmere reference so much as a 17th Shard reference. It refers to a clan within the site "devoted to science!" Or in other words, giving people power through hemalurgic means. So don't take any desserts on this site. Trust me.

Voidus Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 It's not a cosmere reference, it's a forum reference Ages ago someone made a poll of what your favorite magic system was and I was the only one who picked Hemalurgy, so someone created a 'list of people to avoid in Dark Alleys' eventually I decided to just make a guild out of it, stop by the social guilds and check it out if you're curious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasarr she/her Posted January 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Ah, thank you both. I'll sure check around the guilds tomorrow (today? It's 2 in the morning...). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like your name I like the way you talk, such sophistication I was introduced to the Cosmere by the Stormlight Archive which I enjoyed immensely although my favourite would be The Rithmatist which I literally finished 10 minutes ago. I like to see myself as an aspiring writer as well Welcome fellow Sanderfan and we shall see if u pass the Rite of Passage I am hemallergic to cookies (geddit?) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasarr she/her Posted January 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 I like your name I like the way you talk, such sophistication Thanks! English isn't my native tongue, so I'm writing like this because this it pretty much the way I've been taught. I am hemallergic to cookies (geddit?) Having had some time to lurk around, I did notice that the Dark Alley adds some spiky... surprises to their cookies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolaDavar she/her Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Don't eat the cookies. Drink this root beer, fresh from the root beer bar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasarr she/her Posted January 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Why not both? Why not indeed? I'll have to look around some more before setting on something, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
