Hi

[swlotrgirl she/her]

Hey guys, I'm new here so I thought I'd introduce myself. I became a huge fan of Brandon Sanderson a few years ago. I have read most of his books and love learning about the Cosmere. I wanted to become more active in the fandom so here I am.

[Destruction he/him]

Hello and welcome to the shard. What books have you not read?

[swlotrgirl she/her]

I haven't read the Wheel of Time books and some of his short stories/novellas like Children of the Nameless. I think I have read everything else of his.

[Destruction he/him]

That's cool that you have read basically all of his books. I have basically as much as you as well.

[Honorless he/him]

Who's your fav character, @swlotrgirl?

[swlotrgirl she/her]

@Honorless, I have a lot of favorite characters. I guess the ones that come to mind right now are Shallan, Vin, Sazed, and Lightsong. I could list off more by each book, but that would probably take too long, haha. Who are your favorite characters?

@spren of destruction, that's awesome. I'm hoping to start reading the Wheel of Time series soon so that I can cross the books Brandon wrote off my list. I'm also making my way through Starsight right now.

[Aon Tia she/her]

Welcome to the shard @swlotrgirl 

I am waiting for my copy of starsight! I have also not read children of the nameless. 
Which magic system is your favourite that you would like to have? Which world would like to live in?

Kaladin, Shai, Vin & Elend, almost all of The Stormlight interlude characters, Human the Koloss, Dusk

Who's your least favourite character?

[swlotrgirl she/her]

@The traveller Surgebinding is pretty cool. I also like Allomancy.

@Honorless Moash, definitely.

[Honorless he/him]

What's your favourite Order of the Knights Radiant?

[Aon Tia she/her]

Yup windrunners or elsecallers for Surgebinding 

and steel misting for Allomancy 

[swlotrgirl she/her]

Well, I took a quiz a while ago that said I was a Lightweaver. Plus I think Lightweavers are cool and Shallan is one of my favorite characters.

For Allomancy, being a Mistborn would obviously be best, but if I had to choose, I would be a Coinshot (Steel) or a Pewter Arm.

[Argent he/him]

Wow, no love for the Cosmere in your display name? Tsk, tsk.

[Honorless he/him]

My favourite are also the Lightweavers . As for Allomancy, I would choose Electrum or Nicrosil. If we're speaking Era 1, then Bronze

[Aon Tia she/her]

Electrum and nicrosil Allomancy? Really? @Honorless why? 
I would be game if we are talking about Feruchemy with these two. 

[Honorless he/him]

Future sight and power boosting are both pretty cool plus helpful in a pinch but not frontline combat material, they're perfect

I'm not really sure about the Feruchemy aspects since we haven't seen either yet. The Spiritual Feruchemy metals sound dangerous and valuable (extra dangerous). I'm not interested in determination boosts either.

[Wander89 he/him]

Welcome to the Shard! I take it you're a Star Wars/Lord of the Rings fan?? I hope so otherwise I'm gonna look silly!

What's been your favourite moment so far? and what books got you into fantasy/the Cosmere??

Hope to see you around!

I was wondering what sw stands for too. Thank you.. I think it is a good guess.

[swlotrgirl she/her]

@Wander89, yes I am. I actually came up with the name in high school and just keep using for a username, haha.

As for my favorite moment, there are so many. I just finished reading Oathbringer again a few weeks ago so moments from there come to mind right now.

Spoiler

I loved the chapter with Shallan talking to Hoid in Kholinar after Grund is killed and she realizes that she wasn't helping people by giving them food. (CH. 82: The Girl Who Stood Up). Hoid's encouragement and advice to Shallan really spoke to me and I loved their interactions with each other.

I also loved when Dalinar stood up to Odium and was like, "You cannot take my pain!" And then he Ascended and brought all three realms together?! So. Awesome.

I have been a fantasy fan since I was a kid. What got me into the Cosmere specifically was that my sister, brother-in-law, and husband are all fans and they convinced me to start reading Brandon's books about three years ago.

I think that answers everything, haha.

I wish that people in my family read Cosmere! How very lucky of you!
