Hello! New person here, looking for that free forum cookie.

Hello Gang,

First post here, but long time Sanderson enthusiast.  Recently fininshed my 4th read-through of Wax & Wayne era 2 series, which lead to my 5th re-reading of Secret Histories which has lead to my 6th reading of Era 1...rust and ruin, Sanderson.  You've hooked me yet again. 

I've also read Stormlight Archives, because, duh. 

Anyone have a good recommendation on the next Cosmere novel?  Warbreaker? Elantris? As Saze would say: I'd be curious to learn more about Khriss and Nahz, I think.

Hello, and welcome to the Shard! Have a cookie.

Warbreaker is available online for free on Brandon's website, so if you haven't read that, you should.

Can I ask a dumb noobie question?  Because I'm going to.

I've seen "Ookla" alot...meaning of that? 

Thanks for educating, and for the cookie that I hope wasn't gluten free.

And thank you for the heads up on free Warbreaker!  Definitely diving into that next.

You've arrived just in time for Ookla season, that magical time when all of us forum users change our names to "Ookla the ____" in honor of Peter Ahlstrom, Brandons assistant. This post explains it in a bit more depth if you're curious.

Here's another cookie and welcome! Ookla season is definitely a confusing time to jump in...

[Gancho Libre he/him]

Not just to jump in. I'm still confused.

Now i fit in xD

Are there hemalurgic-based penalties for NOT incorporating an Ookla name change? Or any penalties, for that matter?  Asking for a noobie friend.  Ok, asking for me.

Any good threads someone could recommend for theories, particularily in the Hoid/Adolnasium amd Kelsier/Sovereign topics?  I'm familiarizing myself with the various forums but still getting the hang of it.  Of course, that could just be me feeling the effects the spiked cookie I ate this morning.
