  1. Please tell me I'm not the only one who thought this.
  2. I should have known my purple pony avatar was bound to cause social difficulties for someone sooner or later. And I suppose this picture won't help matters:
  3. "Ms. Glass, as our town counselor would you please provide a touch of that counsel? He'll listen to you." Autumn's eye twitched slightly. Great. Another Epic telling me what to do. Well, at least this one isn't saying "Kiss me." ​She looked from Redlight, lips pursed in the direction of the Commander, frozen with his foot in midair, the fan's breeze unable to touch him. The voice that delivered the warning rang in her ears. ​"I…that voice. The one on the radio. It sounded ​familiar…." Autumn ran through a mental list of female voices she knew well. Scribbler and Edgerunner were dismissed immediately. Shiny Sparkle's was still fresh in her mind, and hers was out as well. She didn't know many soldiers at the Old Mill Armory well, so those voices couldn't possibly ring any bells, but it had to be someone there, someone she'd heard…. "The twins," she said at last. "It sounded like one of them. I—I can't be sure, but it did sound like them." Redlight's lips became a firm, thin line, as if to say Good job, Glass. Now he'll head for the Armory the second I let him go. You just made me freeze the Commander forever. I hope you'll enjoy pouring broth down his throat for the rest of his life, because— "She—Redlight—she's right." Autumn drew a breath. "You just bought us a cease-fire. There's a cult at one end of town and Deathwish doing something at the armory. I'm not saying he's gone off the deep end, and I'm not saying he hasn't. And I'm not saying we shouldn't send someone to take him into custody….but I am saying you're not that someone. "We're under siege, Commander. We could very well be at war. Again. And if we're at war, we need you running strategy, not at the front lines. I know you want to see this Deathwish thing taken care of, but Heaven forbid that sleazeball is the one to take you out." She managed to quirk her lips up in a small smile. "You deserve a better ending than that."
  4. Mine is Danielle. It's French, though the male name it's taken from (Daniel) is Hebrew. It means "God is my judge."
  5. But if he were drunk enough, would he go back for his poisoned beverage? That is what I want to know.
  6. Agreed. Have a blast! As far as Reckonersverse questions go—we don't expect them to take precedence over Cosmere questions. The Reckonersverse consists of a single planet, while the Cosmere is an entire universe. We Reckoners fans (and RPers) aren't asking for our questions to suddenly become TEH MOST IMPORTANT THING EVUR GUISE!!!!1!!!!11!!! because we know that Cosmere questions are important to Cosmere fans (and, to be honest, I'm more than a bit curious about the answers myself). All we want is for Sharders who attend signings, who want to help us acquire background information for our RP, to ask one or two questions from our list, and then the rest can go to the Cosmere. We're as curious about our favorite world as you are about yours, and one or two answers would help us out more than you can know.
  7. ​Sometime, in the not-too-distant future…. Kobold steps out of the car, glad for the opportunity to stretch his legs. He is on a road trip. He isn't entirely sure of his precise location, though judging by the rock formations in the distance, he's somewhere in Utah. He goes into the restroom and washes his hands. As the water is running, the door opens. He doesn't see who it is, but he has trained his reflexes not to care. Flinging water from his hands, Kobold whirls on the newcomer, practically shouting. "The Coven! West Coast Epics! Tell me what you know!" The stranger blinks behind his square-frame glasses. He gives a familiar, knowing half-smile. Kobold stands there in stunned silence. The stranger is Brandon Sanderson.
  8. He's still there.
  9. Would it help if I channeled the muse I use for the Stormmeme Archive?
  10. I didn't vote for the first Oregon round, and Funtimes won. The people have interesting opinions.
  11. I'll prepare a tragic poem for the conclusion of this fight.
  12. I like the name Pug Whisperer, myself.
  13. Yeah, that's not even counting the longstanding comic book trend of The [Adjective] [Noun]. In addition to the Pink Pinkness, we could also have…. The Purple Teddy Bear The Blue T-Shirt The Plastic Bottle The Wood-Panel Bookshelf The Metal Fan The Antibacterial Hand Sanitizer The Wicker Basket And no, none of those things are in my room right now.
  14. Would he teleport away, though? And when he did, would he be drunk enough to assume it was because his powers thought he'd have enough and drink it anyway?
  15. Too many. Far too many, when those two are in a partying mood.
  16. I think the appropriate question is, how much damage would drunk!Sightline and hammered!Obliteration do together?
  17. My mom had read the first two. She says the only Amish author worth reading is Beverly Lewis.
  18. I grew up, among other places, in Wyoming. Gun laws are less strict than in some other states, but on top of that, guns are such an ingrained part of culture that nearly everyone owns one. If someone says they don't think private citizens should be allowed to own guns, Wyomans will stare at them as if they just said they're going to try and get an octopus on the next presidential ticket. My brother shot his first rifle--a .22--at eighteen months of age, under the proud and watchful supervision of my dad. I think even the staunchest gun supporter from Wyoming would say Arsenal was too gung-ho about arming the citizenry.
  19. Like Kobold has said, Funtimes has caused damage. Serious damage. I don't deny that; if anything, by going for a redemption arc with her, I plan to acknowledge it and push her toward atoning for it. Calamity's corruption notwithstanding, these are serious things she's responsible for, and brushing them under the rug in favor of some falsely saccharine ending I pull out of my butt would not only be immoral, but also the worst sort of ending I can imagine. As an Epic, she is apathetic toward any damage she causes. The best way--the only way--I can think to bring her full circle is to acknowledge what she's done and use her recovered moral compass to set things right. Will it fix every problem she's caused? I doubt it. But she'll do what she can, fully aware of just how much she needs to fix.
  20. And that's....bad?
  21. Oooohhhhh, right. Maybe I'll go back to my first draft, the one where the moose tranquilizer was used on an actual moose. That one lends itself more to "Fortuity piñata" anyway.
  22. Yes, it exists.
  23. What? An attractive woman wears the bikini, distracting him and luring him into a private sauna. Then the woman stabs him with the moose tranquilizer, scatters the vodka bottles around on the floor, stays long enough to deflect suspicion (and to make sure he's dead) and then smuggles the body out of the sauna by draping his arm around her shoulder and pretending he's blackout drunk! There is no possible flaw in that plan. It's foolproof.
