The Braddy Nine he/him Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Hey Sanderson fans! I just gotta say, I've loved Brandon's books for a long time, and constantly try to force them on my friends to spread the good word of Sanderson. The few who actually take my advice love me for it and shower me with praises (and one time, candy). Up until two weeks ago, I had no idea about the Cosmere. Through all my readings I hadn't noticed the hints and didn't consider, even for a second, that there was this incredible link between all of Brandon's books. It has added a whole new level to my already enormous respect for his writing. Also, can't wait for Alloy of Law and Stormlight 2. Bring it on, BS. Brad 1
Feloxia she/her Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Welcome! That's pretty much the same for me (I started foruming only recently). Except for the candy D:
CrazyRioter she/her Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Welcome! Don't feel bad about missing the hints, I didn't see them either. I got my dad and his friend to read Mistborn myself. My dad accused me of being a pusher. I'm trying to get him to read the rest of Brandon's stuff but he says he's got too many other books to read.
Joe ST he/him Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 yo there Brad, the cosmere is well hidden, so no worries about that. It's like playing Where's Wally (Waldo )
The Braddy Nine he/him Posted September 6, 2011 Author Posted September 6, 2011 It's "Where's Wally" in my neck of the woods. And I'm glad I'm not the only person who didn't get it. I just picked up my copy of WoK to skim through it for references. It's like discovering spare change in the couch! 1
Alliare she/her Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Well, technically I have been in these forums more time than you, if only for hours, so I might as well welcome you About the Cosmere... well, the first time I heard about "a character named Hoid that appeared in both Elantris and The Final Empire", I was like: "people have a really good memory" and "so what?". But then I kept both reading Brandon's books and visiting Brandon's website and fan sites, and realized you can never take anything for granted in his writings, so... ... well, so don't feel bad, because you'll make me feel a dummy too, and I definitely don't want that! And I also try to get my friends to read Brandon's books. I love talking about books I like, but cannot do that if I'm the only one who has read them. ... of course, that's not always a good idea if you get mocked as Elend's clone. Not that I have anything against Elend, mind you. Well, I suppose I do read a lot when spending time with my friends.
Zas678 he/him Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 Eh, that's fine that you didn't notice it. I don't think anyone noticed Hoid until after FE, WoA, HoA, Elantris, and Warbreaker. Welcome Braddy Nine! I hope you enjoy it here!
KChan she/her Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 Welcome to the forums! It's alright, I didn't know anything about the Cosmere either, until I met Chaos. That's what the fandom community is for - sharing awesome! Oh, and cookies:
Joe ST he/him Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 I didn't know anything about the Cosmere either, until I met Chaos. That Eric, causing so much trouble lol
KChan she/her Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Trouble, or awesome? Anyways, I got him back by pulling him into MBI. Twice. X3 1
almeldiel she/her Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Welcome, Brad! I'm kinda new here myself, and I definitely haven't heard of the Cosmere until KChan mentioned it and I went wandering around the Coppermind Wiki. Hope you enjoy being here. Everyone's been fun and funny!
