... I should have done this like a month ago....

Hello all! 

 

I devour books. Got into LOTR when I was 8, and had read/reread it 6-7 times by the time I was 12 and got into the Silmarillion. From there I went onto the WOT fan train (when knife of Dreams just came out). I have devoured that series multiple times since then. Probably read the first 11 WOT books 8-9 times each.

While waiting for RJ to write book 12, discovered this new upcoming author Brandon Sanderson and fell in love with his stuff. Became a huge fan, and while I was horrified when RJ died, I was confident and pleased when I heard Brandon would be finishing it. 

Since then, I've read pretty much all of Sanderson's stuff multiple times (am currently doing a Mistborn reread, and am on Shadows of Self). 

 

I have a background in history, martial arts, religion (primarily Christianity, my faith, but have studied basic outlines of other major religions), and engineering.

 

I am a huge geek, obviously, and I love this stuff. Used to be active in the old Timewasters forum, but didn't really make the jump here until recently (so, what, 4 years after we switched? more?) expect I'll be on here a lot, because Sanderson is awesome, and so are you guys.

Welcome to the forums! (Somewhat belatedly I see since you already have plenty of posts, but welcome nontheless)
Can I interest you in a welcome-cookie?

[Nashan’Elin he/him]

Since you've been on for a while, you probably know that those cookies are Hemalurgic spikes. Watch out

[Erunion he/him]

Only if it gives me feruchemical gold then? 

[Voidus]

Well I think that one gave you electroception, but I'm sure I have a Feruchemical gold cookie around here somewhere.

Apparently, the Dark Alley got bored of the "standard" Hemalurgic gifts, and have since moved on to stabbing platypi for their ability to sense electricity, stabbing a soldier for emotional maturity... you get the idea.
