Yes, and a non-vorin male showing their right hand is just as bad as a vorin female showing their safehand 

That's why it's only skirting the rules.

PROPOSAL:

An isekai anime but it's about Nightwielder dropped in the Cosmere. Every episode starts with him refusing to go outside and having to be compelled by circumstances to participate in the plot. Female characters are infatuated him for literally no reason, but he never notices because he's too busy cowering away from the sun.

Someone start a kickstarter, we can make this happen.

Valentine's Day is over.

I propose to make this thread exclusively about @Zurvanite's cat until next February.

The Bandersnatch has said before (can't remember where--I'm sorry) that not everything he RAFOs will necessarily show up in a story. This is because he likes leaving himself the option to either choose to reveal a detail or not as he sees fit, rather than spilling the beans early at a signing. Essentially, once the question's been answered, there's no unanswering it, but as long as the question exists he has the freedom to choose how and where he wants it answered.

Hope that makes sense. I too find myself frustrated by the number of these we have, especially in the context of the Reckoners Trilogy, while I also understand why he does it.

Rubies are red,

And through fair or foul weather

I WILL UNITE THEM, STORMFATHER

I WILL BRING MEN TOGETHER

Seconded. When you have to make 22 threads because the first one of 100 pages wasn’t enough, I think it wins. 

This past week I've gotten a spike of kudos on my Archive Of Our Own account, and the other day I passed 550 as a net total for my account. I'm pretty pleased.

(Over half of that kudos count is from just two Undertale one-shots I posted, though. It just goes to show what kind of exposure can come from writing in a popular fandom.)

Oh no! Being sick is the worst! That doesn't sound good at all. We'll just have to give you an IOU on the hugs, I guess. Feel better!

*Sends hugs along with many caffeinated beverages for the lethargy*

It seems to be mostly gone now--it probably wasn't the measles. Thanks for the wishes, everyone. Especially you, Silverblade. Caffeinated beverages always help.

I vote for the Question thread as a write-in candidate.

Incoming: bad prequel meme.

Welp, there's a measles scare on the island, and my skin is all red and splotchy and itchy after the relatives flew in. I have my fingers crossed that it's some sort of horrible allergic reaction, maybe to the new soap I showered with recently. The Wikipedia article on measles is not fun reading material, let me tell you, and while I'm vaccinated against the disease the thought of it is still kicking my anxiety into high gear.

I'm taking antihistamines that are making it go down a little... but also making me feel lethargic. I wouldn't encourage anyone to send hugs my way until I'm a little more certain whether or not I have the horrible death-and-blindness virus.

just like to point out that steelheart didn't know that megan's power(s) were more than just illusionary powers.

 

Steelheart watches Firefight produce an entire army of Knights Radiant battling against a horde of Voidbringers.

"Hey, that's pretty creative. You should be a writer."

The show Terra Nova, gone from us too soon. 

R.I.P., our one good depiction of Cretaceous Period South America.

And I'll take Stephen Lang wherever I can get him. He was the best part of both Terra Nova and Avatar.

The way of kings, a friend recommended it to me at a cooking camp

"Now, if you want a good recipe for cremling stew, you're going to want to look out for The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. There are other cookbooks for Horneater cuisine but this is the only one that gives the cultural context that really lends the recipes some authenticity."

Ooooh... for me, that would be sushi. I absolutely hated the idea of it, and when everyone talked about how much they loved it, I just decided that it seemed gross. Now, I'm absolutely obsessed with it. 

This was also my experience with eating raw fish in general. There was a time when I wouldn't touch it. After a year in Hawaii I'll happily chow down on poke bowls purchased from convenience stores.

I fall into the "Get away from me" camp. I appreciate the sentiment of hugs, but in practice it drives me crazy when people try to touch me.

These are fantastic!

Sex magic - I have no reason to justify this... I just really want to read a BS take on it. 

Given the things he specifically excludes from his novels, this would be the first Cosmere magic system that is used exclusively off-screen and is only mentioned in passing.

Basically what happens to every Epic at night.
