17th shard made my day

[Kered he/him]

Hello all, my name is Derek. I've been reading avidly since my last year of high school, but I didn't find my passion for fantasy until a couple years ago. And it wasn't until last year when I finished the last Kingkiller book that I found out about Brandon. Since then I've read the wheel of time, as well as most of the cosmere novels. Actually as I type this, I'm finishing my last one, Warbreaker.

Always after I finish a fantasy book, especially one of Brandon's, I can't seem to find someone to discuss my crazy ideas/theories with the passion I want. So imagine my surprise when I found out about 17th shard. Beyond excited.

So thanks for bein the awesome dudes you are and making this forum awesome for a newcomer such as myself. Looking forward to having awesome conversations and discussions with you guys

Cheers

Hello, @KereDerek! Welcome to the bustling hive of theories, forum games, role-playing, reading discussion, and inside jokes that we call the 17th Shard. Have your first upvote.

As a word of warning: don't eat the cookies, or whatever else they'll offer you. The food has a bad habit of Ruining lives (capitalization intended).

Hello! Welcome to the Shard, have an upvote and a word of wisdom.

Have a cookie, the cookie is good. We have milk as well.

[AngelEy3 he/him]

Indeed. You know what? Have 2 cookies, one can never eat enough digital sweets.

Hi there Derek! @Elenion Some of us need sleep.

I am bleeder, resident vest-wearing music guy. 

Welcome to the Shard! We'll try to be as much of "awesome dudes" as you expect us to be, but usually we end up talking about baking... or politics... or each other's day to day lives. 

Oh, hey, speaking of baking, if you are offered any kind of food or drink, do not accept. Please. For your own good.

Anyway, we're glad to have you! If you ever need anything, feel free to let me know!

@KereDerek Don't worry, the cookies are great. In fact I have one ready for you. Trust me, the taste is amazing!

[Tariniel he/him]

I remember having that same feeling @KereDerek! Just wait until you delve into some of the theories we have here...

Oh! Watch out for the forum addiction that's been going around. It's one of the dangers of the cookies!

[Kered he/him]

Thanks for the welcome.

I think I'm going to back away slowly before things get violent with the cookies...

things involving cookies don't get violent, they just become a really really bloody mess tasty!

[Kered he/him]

Well that's a relief, I thought we were heading for trouble.

That's right! Were heading for pools of blood deliciousness!

I have a feeling that there's a double meaning to your words but it's cookies so whatever.

*verifies that you've read Mistborn*

The cookies (and everything else) contain hemalurgic spikes. We just use puns like Ruined because it's more fun.

Well this took a turn I didn't see coming.

Don't try to predict things here. You'll just end up disappointed, with a killer headache.

Yes, and end up spiked eating a cookie!
