Confessions of a 17th Sharder


Recommended Posts

We've all been there. You're so sure Ars Arcanum was written by Hoid, or that Dalinar is secretly a Herald. This thread is for those who want to confess their sins, and go forth without the burden of a secret you have never told anyone. I'll start.

I thought that Dalinar would turn out to be Taln. Couldn't be more wrong.

Mistborn original trilogy spoilers

 

  Reveal hidden contents

At the end of M:TFE, I called that Spook, Marsh, and Sazed were the only characters who would die...

 

This made me laugh so hard. 

The topic doesn't specify cosmere, so I'm going to put this. Mild Rithmatist spoilers 

Spoiler

I spent most of the book convinced that Professor Fitch would be the Scribbler. Nalizar and Exton both seemed too obvious and I figured it had to be a Rithmatist, so…

This is for 17th shard stuff too, no?

I was just considering making a confession bear meme for the meme page here.
It's about the fact that I usually barely skim what @maxal because she writes so much. I wish she had a tl;dr for what she says because I feel like I'm missing so much.

I thought Slowswift was Hoid for awhile

Oh, I've also never been able to keep Zinc and Brass straight

I also got so bored once I memorized how to spell Numuhukumakiaki'aialunamor. Not sure whether or not to be proud about that :P

:ph34r::ph34r::ph34r:

Oh... Sorry. 

Confession: I am not sure all the stuff I write is actually worth reading :ph34r::ph34r::ph34r: Especially when I go in rant mode: I half expect a team of Brandon's assistants to flood in and single me out: "How dare you critic so much? And you call yourself a fan?" :ph34r:

I haven't been that active in the same subforums as you, but from what I've seen, your posts are most definitely worth reading. And honest critique is necessary at times, or else it becomes one of those rabid, crowd-mentality fandoms that no one likes :P

Well, I was genuinely making fun of my own self. I write a LOT and those posts can get very long... I am not surprised there are those who just skip to the end and read in between the lines. I also repeat myself, a LOT. It may be a tad annoying for some.

And yeah, not everything I write is worth reading... This is absolutely true. Sometimes, I get carried away on an idea or an emotion...

Just remembered Slowswift is from HoA. I thought you meant the Sharder Slowswift, and I was kind of freaked. 

That was me. And yep, I meant the informant/storyteller from HoA :P

I didn't do that because I was bored; I read SA after joining the Shard and did it because I thought it would come in handy. Street cred level: airsick lowlander. :P

 

Confession 2 (AKA The Great Heresy):

For a little I thought Reckoners was cosmere... *cringes*

Yeah, I did that last part too, boredom can be a powerful thing.

(obviously spoilers below)

Other than that, I was like 100% certain that Demoux was going to turn evil when he started his Survivor cult-thing. I also spent most of SA convinced Dalinar was going to die heroically at some point and I was mourning in advance only to realise that the stubborn man lives through it all.

Confession 1: I only started to read Mistborn because I heard he was going to finish Wheel of Time, and wanted to see if he was good enough to not screw it up.

Confession 2: late in the evening after listening to WoR for about 4 hours straight, in the dark, on my couch, all alone, let's say 2 am, I actually fist pumped when a certain thing (in a very passable Sulu impersonation) greeted a certain someone near the end.
