duskyphoebe she/her Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 ***It was suggested that I should moved this post in this topic*** Hi! This is my first post. I just joined this forum a few minutes ago. I am from Alberta, Canada. I work as a nurse in a rural but very busy hospital. Brandon Sanderson was introduced to me by one of the doctors I work with. He said, "Read Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson, it will change your life." So I did, and yes, it changed my life. My standard in fantasy genre has changed. I think Brandon Sanderson is a genius writer, he is my favorite author of all time. I own Mistborn, Well of Ascension and The Hero of Ages. Currently, I am reading The Way of Kings, I'm halfway through. I also read Elantris. Aside from reading, I also enjoy hiking and taking landscape pictures. Kelsier, Vin, Kaladin, Syl and Dalinar are my favorite characters. I'm not sure if I want to be a Mistborn or a Misting. I'm kinda scared of the responsibility that comes with it. But if given a chance, I would definitely be a Soother. P.S. English is not my first language, I'll try my best to pay attention with my grammar. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesh Any pronouns Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) Welcome to the Shard! Don't accept any food offered to you, especially cookies, or anything by the Dark Alley. But anything from someone with 'Surgefinder' or 'Knight of the Cosmere' should be OK. That being said, have a slice of Chouta! Also, if you are wondering what the Surgefinders are, they are a group of people, or, well, here's a link to the Surgefinder's official fourm if you want to know about it. And we are desperately needing members! As for the Knights of the Cosmere, that is something I can't say anything about. So, welcome to world of bookworms! I really like all of those character as well, though I also really like Hoid, Spanky, and Lift, though I don't know that Spanky counts as an actual character, so, oh well. And I probably own too many books by Brandon Sanderson for only have been reading his books for about 4 months. Which is eleven. Spoiler WoK, Mass Market paperback, WoK, hardcover, WoR, Mass Market, WoR, hardcover, Mistborn, era 1, Mass Market, Shadows of Self, mass market, Elantris, paperback, Arcanum Unbounded, hardcover, and Calamity, paperback. I have read all of them except Calamity and Shadows of Self, plus Steelheart, Firefight, Warbreaker, White Sand, and Alloy of Law.

Zennix he/him Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 Welcome to the Shard! Have a cookie and an upvote! Have you ever awoken to find yourself sleeping on your wall instead of your bed? Have you been seeing strange beings that try to make say weird things? Did you ever turn your cat into smoke or maybe breakfast cereal? Or had visions of the future; for example how Game of Thrones will end or whether we will ever see a Surgebinder and a Mistborn go all Mortal Kombat with each other? If you've experienced any of these 'symptoms', then I should tell you that, "You are a Wizard, Harry." Oh, sorry, scratch that. You are something way cooler. YOU ARE A SURGEBINDER! (*fanfare*). Come find us here at the Surgefinders in Urithiru. We need you. For the Last Desolation is here! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
