I Am Witless Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 What is something that you, as a Sanderfan, are ashamed of? I, for example, have only read the Mistborn series all the way through once. I also believed - until I came on here - that Alcatraz was Hoid's backstory. A certain someone on here who is a MAJOR influence on the forums and guilds ( as in, HUGE) didn't read the Stormlight Archive until a few weeks ago. Are there any obvious jokes that you missed, books you haven't read, or opinions you hold (within the fanbase) that are extremely unpopular? Really stoopid theories? Embarrassing, cringy posts? Confess! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidpen Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 You believed Alcatraz was Hoids backstory? That is honestly pretty bad. No offense. I didn't read the Alcatraz note, or know what it said, until my second time reading 5. Alcatraz spoilers: Spoiler I was so sad that that was how it ended for months. I was really confused. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebecca Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 There’s already a topic for this. I don’t know how to, like, mention here like I’ve seen. But it’s called Deep Dark Secrets and is on the third page of this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archer Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 (I'm nearly done the book Witless. Really.) Another one of my ahem literary shortcomings is the Wheel of Time series. I've never read it, and probably never will. I'm intimidated by its length. Another confession: I forgot who Zane was. When I first read mistborn he wasn't very memorable, so I forgot all about him. I was really confused when I saw someone reference him on the 17S for the first time. I had to look him up on the coppermind. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iarwainiel I Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 (edited) Because of the way my brain stores information (long story involving synesthesia), I have difficulty remembering who's who when characters have names that are spelled similarly, especially when their names begin with the same letter. This was waaaaay bad for me when I tried (and failed) to read the Wheel of Time series (which I've posted here on the 17th Shard already so won't bore you w/ that). There were so many, many characters and even places with similar names; real lack of creativity on Jordan's part IMO. I also for some reason had trouble with Elhokar's name ... kept forgetting who he was ... until I hit on the strategy of calling him (in my head) El-Hokey-Doke. (It's OK, you can laugh at me - I deserve it. ) ---- Also, @I am Witless, this is a great thread! Thanks for starting it!

Merrickz Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 I haven't read any of the Non-Arcanum Novellas Brandon's written, e.g. Mitosis, Legion. Book 2 of Reckoners was odd as I had clearly missed something 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have synesthesia as well, grapheme-color, and this always happens to me. Also, the color a character's name is influences what I think their hair color should be. Because of this, I doubt I'll ever be able to reconcile myself to a blond Kelsier. Based on his name, his hair should be dark black! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on his name, his hair should be dark black! Same type of synesthesia that I have - cool! For me all the letters (and numerals too) are unique colors; upper and lower case are the same color. I don't associate letters with hair colors ... if I did, Kelsier's would be royal blue! IIRC, not even Aimians or Natanan-ians have blue hair! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason, a character with a dark blue name = dark hair color for me. I don't know why haha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
