Introduction

[PeterElricPines he/him]

I don't actually know if this is necessary or not, but better safe than sorry. Hi, I'm Pines. I'm relatively new to the cosmere, and very new to this forum. I started with Mistborn in May, and caught up just in time for Dawnshard and RoW, so now all I'm missing is White Sand. I haven't been on a forum since like 2014, and that one was tiny and already old. So I'm vaguely familiar with how this works, but it'll take some getting used to. I have a habit of diving down rabbit holes, and I have a physical corkboard at home with thumbtacks and string to figure cosmere stuff out and I swear I'll finish it soon so it has more than like four Shard names and "TRELL???" So I may end up reading more theories here than is healthy. Also, I have a chronic inability to take things seriously. So uh, I guess you'll have that to deal with look forward to.

Gonna be honest, the reason I made this account just now is because someone on the Discord was trying to explain something to me that I was too dumb to understand, and then he made a post here about it and linked me to it, and I wanna respond. So I'm gonna go do that now. Hello again!

Welcome to the Shard! Well, no an introduction thread isn't a requisite, it's a meet and greet to talk with new members and make them feel welcome and comfortable, and answer a few basic forum questions, if they have any (and discuss favorites, etc. because we're chatterbox bookworms).

Most of the site features are fairly intuitive and you can explore and figure them out with time. Feel free to ask if you have any problems.

Welcome to the Shard! It seems we may get along quite nicely! 

What is your favourite Sanderson book?

Thanks, all, for the warm welcomes!

Ooh, that's a hard one. A few good candidates are Emperor's Soul, Sixth of the Dusk, and Bands of Mourning.

This one is a little easier. Probably Ruin. I haven't read White Sand yet, but I really like Autonomy so far, too.

Edit: I can't believe I forgot Alcatraz. That series as a whole is probably at the top and I refuse to pick any of them over the others.

I wanted to repair my mistaken answer without a double post.
