ThePathsofPain Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Hello everyone! I'm a huge Sanderson fan and have been reading nothing but his work, listening to Writing Excuses and his lectures. I'm a writer and I find his work to be massively inspirational. I'm currently reading The Way of Kings but Mistborn is hands down my all-time favorite series. Ive read the forums randomly before but never joined until I saw I can get some of his unpublished work so I couldn't help myself. With that said, I'm excited to interact with fellow Sanderson fans!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrikerEZ he/him Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Hey, welcome to the Shard, @ThePathsofPain! Have an upvote and a free spiked delicious cookie! (By the way, what an interesting username ) Spoiler 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. Yeah, Brandon is so good at writing and it's definitely inspiring as an author to see how good he is. His Cosmere actually inspired me to push several world ideas I've had for a long time and make the final step towards connected worlds. I was already heading towards this, but Brandon gave me the final big push. As for the Cosmere, how many books have you read from it? And have you read the Wax &a Wayne Mistborn books? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePathsofPain Posted July 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) @StrikerEZ I'll gladly accept Ruin into my life!!! In the Cosmere I've only read the Mistborn series, Wax and Wayne and Secret History. I've read the Reckoners series but I know that's not in the Cosmere. I'm currently reading The Way of Kings and plan to continue on through The Stormlight Archives and then on to something else in the Cosmere. Seeing how he's tied these worlds together has made me realize I've been doing something similar without realizing it. I'm considering tying it all together a bit more firmly in my own writing.

StrikerEZ he/him Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 @ThePathsofPain Aww, I would've suggested reading the Atormlight Archive last. There are so many little hints to the Cosmere that make more sense if you've read Elantris and Warbreaker (Warbreaker can be found for free on Brandon's website). I guess you can read it in any order, but I always try to recommended SA last. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePathsofPain Posted July 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 @StrikerEZ I had been wanting to read The Way of Kings for a while before I even knew about Sanderson so once I had read Mistborn and The Reckoners I couldn't help but jump onto that as soon as possible. I found out after I had already started it that it had small nods to Elantris in it. I'm looking forward to jumping into that after Stormlight Archives though! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePathsofPain Posted July 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 That would be why ha ha. Thanks @Sami I'm not entirely sure why I hadn't signed up sooner, I frequented this site enough that I should have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
