I've given in

[Drakard he/him]

Hello members of the 17th Shard, my name is Drakard. Well... at least for the moment. I've stalked here for a while, never really bothered to sign up. But I've been a fan of Brandon Sanderson ever since I read Mistborn in my Junior year. Ever since then, I've read nearly everything he's published, and am never dissapointed. He got me to read the Alaran Codex, too. Simply because he endorsed it, I figured it must be good. It was even thanks to him that I got into writing as a hobby.

 

In short, I've been a fan for a long time. Never wanted to join a fansite though, not until today. Not until I finished the Words of Radiance. I must say, the end... and I know you know what I'm talking about, really floored me. Now, I knew he had his books all in the same universe, (not included Alcatraz, and the Rithmatist. Though I would thoroughly enjoy if the Rithmatist was.) but I never paid it too much attention. Alas, it seems my willful ignorance is at an end. I've decided to join this site so as to share my appreciation with other who understand.

 

After all, you can only tell your friends they should read for so long before you realize they never will. So here I am! To make new friends and share in the experience. So hello, and I hope I become a permanant mark on the landscape that is the 17th Shard.

Welcome! I've had the same problem getting my friends to pick up thousand page books. You can only sit on your questions for so long until the itch to join sets in.

Agreed! Though its more than questions, its just the desire to share such a great experience and talk about it. Brandon spoiled me, getting me into reading fiction. I've picked up numerous books expecting them to be as good as his are. They very rarely are. Glad to be here, sharing the experience.
