I Exist (in the Cognitive Realm)

[Leafdancer she/her]

Hey.  

15-year-old Sanderson fan/Stormlight fanatic.  I started reading fantasy (Tolkien) when I was 8 and really loved it.  Some friends recently recommended Brandon Sanderson and I started with Stormlight Archive.  So glad I did!  I really enjoyed it and am planning on starting Mistborn soon.

 

Random stuff:

INTJ-A

Eldest of 5 girls (the one closest to me just finished WOR and we talk/theorise/fangirl about it a lot)

American, specifically Texas, specifically San Antonio

Writer of Sci-Fi/Fiction that isn't any good

Took me 5 days to finish both TWOK and WOR 

Frequently interchanges British/American spelling in writing

 

Fandoms:

Star Wars

Percy Jackson & the Olympians

The Avengers

Doctor Who

Harry Potter

Hobbit + LOTR + Silmarillion

and of course Stormlight Archive

EDIT: And also Mistborn

Welcome to the Shard! Have an upvote!

I started with SA as well, and I'm super glad you liked it. Mistborn is great as well, and you should definitely read at least the first trilogy. After that, you should look at Elantris or Warbreaker, Brandon's two stand-alone books. And, If you're not familiar with him yet, watch out for a man named Hoid. 

Some key words of advice: Do not, under any circumstances, eat the cookies.

I hope you enjoy it here!

Hey, welcome to the shard! Have an upvote and a spiked delicious cookie! Don't listen to @TeleWorms, the cookie is perfectly safe....

DISCLAIMER: Side effects include, but are not limited to, hearing voices, gaining supernatural powers, having the sudden urge to kill everyone, and completely losing control over your mind and body. The Dark Alley™ claims no liability for any damage done to/by the eater of this cookie.

I agree with what TeleWorme said, you should definitely read Mistborn next. That way, you'll understand the cookie joke.

(I have read Mistborn and still do not fully understand the cookie joke..... Care to explain anyone?)

Hey, that's my MBTI! Let me guess: you're rational, efficient, and precise.

Looks like you beat me by two days: I finished WoK and WoR in 6 days 22 hours. 5 days is some achievement.

And we have a fellow LotR nerd on the forums! Even better!

I'm Elenion, often shortened to Len. And don't eat the cookies; they Ruin lives. (after Mistborn 3 you'll get it)

Oh, come on, you shouldn't diss yourself about your writing. This is coming from a fellow friter of sci-fi/fiction.

You WHAT??? Whew, it took a month alone to read WOR, and I was trying to be fast about it! I'm impressed!

Yay! I'm also a fan of nearly all of those too! You are definitely a welcome addition to the 17th Shard in my book.  P.S. I think you should choose the Horneater stew in favor of the spiked cookies. Maybe even the Horneater lager.
