greetings fellow sharders

Greetings from Atlanta.

I've been a huge cosmere fan going on two years now - a few Christmases ago one of my best friends finally made me finish Hero of Ages, then sat me down, explained cosmere, and handed me Way of Kings.  Naturally after I read the first 2 chapters I bopped her over the head with the book for getting me into a series (read: universe) that is SO FAR from completion.  But I love it.  So much.  At this point I've read all the cosmere books at least once (most more), and am now starting to delve into Sanderson's non-cosmere stuff. Been poking around the site for a few months now - never been part of a forum before, should be fun.  Any tips?

Let me be the first to welcome you to the shard!!!  Yes, I myself was hooked on mistborn, but stormlight remains my favorites series.  Also, have a cookie on me.  (Read the DA disclaimer in the about me part)  Totally not spiked or altered in any way.

Welcome. I'm new here myself.

It took my like one hour to explain the cosmere to one of my friends, how long did it take?

As for tips about forums: When moderators talk, listen

Not long actually.  Basically just "All Sanderson's adult fantasy series exist in the same universe, eventually they'll connect more but for now its just easter eggs, like this character who hops around and shows up in every book"

Be prepared to hear more about this character, Hoid. We're all kinda obsessed with him, because he's basically the closest we have to figuring out the secrets of the cosmere.
