Ecthelion III he/him Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 (edited) Hello, I'm new here (but you could probably tell that already). I go by Ecthelion III (but you could also probably tell that already). I am a huge fan of Sanderson's. I've read both Stormlight books and the 6 released Mistborns, and I just picked up Elantris today. I am also a roleplayer and a fan of forum games in general, and would like to get into Sanderson Elimination at some point. The learning curve looks really steep, though, so it may be a while before I can. (Also, whenever I try to put an image in my signature, it says: Unable to retrieve signature image dimensions, please try another image. Help?)

Ecthelion III he/him Posted June 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 I haven't been able to get my hands on a copy of Secret History yet. I've been warned that the cookies contain Hemalurgic spikes. Are they zinc and already imbued with power? Cause I think I'm slightly insane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecthelion III he/him Posted June 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) It appears that everyone on the forums uses abbreviations. Could you maybe acquaint me with some? Abbreviations TLR: The Lord Ruler WoB: Word of Brandon TWG: TimeWaster's Guide RAFO: Read And Find Out Various Book Name Abbreviations Edited June 15, 2016 by Ecthelion III 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dani she/her Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 TWG is Timewaster's Guide. It used to be the fan forum until it crashed in 2011 WoB is Words of Brandon (right?) IIRC is If I Recall Correctly RAFO is a term Sanderson uses sometimes when answering questions. It means Read And Find Out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delightful Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) Word of Brandon without the s, technically. It means something he's said in an interview or q and a, essentially canon for the most part. Welcome Ecthelion! I don't know the Tolkein story so in my head you're an Eevee evolution love the profile pic. There's also book name abbreviations eg TFE = the final empire (Mistborn 1) WoA = well of ascension SA Stormlight archive WoR words of radiance etc. where there other ones in particular you wanted to know? You can always ask in-thread and someone will help you out. Edited June 15, 2016 by Delightful 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
