elinox she/her Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Hello all, I'm Elinox, or Eli for short. It's pronounced "ee-lie-knocks". I'm a 35 year old female from central PA who lives with her husband and 2 cats. I'm an avid scuba diver and a newly published author who loves reading interesting fantasy stories with non-human characters. My all-time favorite book and movie is The 10th Kingdom and my favorite color is blue. I first came to the Cosmere by way of Warbreaker in 2016 because at the time, I was too afraid of just jumping right in with The Way of Kings because its length really intimidated me. Now I'll happily and eagerly read anything the boss-man writes! So far, my favorites have been The Stormlight Archives (looking forward to reading Oathbringer!) and The Final Empire (Mistborn). If you want to know anything else, please don't hesitate to ask! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elinox she/her Posted December 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Aah, thank you for the explanation link! Also, I wouldn't trust baked goods from, say, this guy: But I figured fellow Sanderson fans would be safe! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormblessed Dolphin he/him Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 So sad that the welcome threads seem to be 80% cookie wars, rather than just "hey, welcome to the Shard! have an upvote!) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
