After 3 years of lurking: Hi guys!

[Areka she/her]

Finally, after 3 re-reads of everything Sanderson-related I could find, I am joining the discussion. Mistborn hooked me in, but the Stormlight Archive is driving me into a slow and beautiful insanity.

Nobody I know in real life is a fan, and I really need a place where I don’t feel so weird if I research a fiction topic almost as rigorously as my master’s thesis.

Most of the ideas that I had are related to stuff you guys have debated for years! I am in awe at your scientific approach to various hypotheses and also a bit intimidated.

I have to admit that this very forum made me fall in love with Brandon’s work all over again.

So hello!

Well, let me be the first to welcome you to the Shard!  I was also a lurker for a while before I joined, but three years has even me beat.   

Yeah... I know literally two people, but I guess it's just where I live.  I always ask people, but I have not found anyone.

It is awesome.  I have always loved debating magic systems from a scientific standpoint, which makes no sense, but is incredibly fun.

I hope you enjoy the Forum!  It is a very fun place, and I have enjoyed it very much.  Also, have a cookie!

Cookies all 'round!

Happy foruming, Areka.

Thank you @MageStar and @bleeder

I hope that I will be able to post more, right now I am working on the overwhelming prevalence on humans on most worlds, considering the original Yolen had three sentient species.

It is SO fun!

3 years.....how did u survive that whole time lurking? Without even joining in...

Wow. 

Welcome to the Shard @Areka

It’s easy when you consider a forum as some sort of a periodically updated blog!

But considering the quality of Sanderson’s books is only increasing, it’s very likely I’ll be a fan for the next foreseeable future. Might as well mingle and brainstorm with like-minded individuals
