Lol, I know that Roshar isn't a binary system. Roshar only has a shallow axial tilt, meaning that seasons are more subtle. My 'two suns' bit was either a slip of the tongue that probably came about because I was thinking about two things at once, or I misread your original post. The rest of the reply made sense, though.

I wondered the same thing. My two cents would be that air and water, plus plant life and the slow tidal shift caused by the two stars, would all have patterns. In theory, it would be possible to predict weather changes, though to an ancient civ it would prove very difficult.

Hey Guys! Let me know your thoughts on my submission. I'm most interested in: - Where is the story headed? - How was the tone? - How can I improve my voice? - Strength of plot? - How interesting is this to you? Please don't make specific story-related suggestions (like what my characters should do the next chapter), and try to ignore any typos I may have missed. Anything else would be terrific!

I'm at the same point. I don't enjoy the series like I used to.

@ RShara - thanks, I'd wondered about this as well. @ Horatio - As near as I understand it, a binary star systems is theoretically possible, but also short-lived. The orbits between masses begin to decay and the larger star (vampire star) eats the smaller mass. As far as habitable planets within a binary system, I thought it was basically impossible, but then I did some research: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_star#Planets Turns out that (supposedly) 50-60% of binary systems are capable of supporting life, given that there is a terrestrial mass with the right make-up and orbit. So yes, your idea is plausible. I learned something new today...

Thanks! *Cautiously accepts Fate's cookie* I'll, uh, save that for later. As for the other proffered goods, I'm afraid my knapsack is only so large... But I'll consider. @Quiver - I will definitely be sharing my work and critiquing for bros. It was my main reason for my joining the 17th. I'm here to improve my writing. And maybe my baking skills.

Hey, man! I am very interested in this. I tried setting one up before, but I only had one active member, who then proceeded to drop off. I will say, however, that we got an inspiring amount of work done via this method. -
Sanderson's "Write About Dragons" Creative Writing Course
SirenKing replied to Endurant Archivist's topic in Reading Excuses
Ah, I see. The Write About Dragons course is something I fully intend on doing, but since 5 of the 12 weeks are already done, I suspect it would be hard to manage. I'll catch this bus the next time it come around. The Reading Excuses, on the other hand, is perfect for now. If you could hook me up with that, I would be ecstatic. I'll also chat with vtsobnf about the voip thing. Thanks for the help! -

Hey Peeps! I won't lie. I joined 17thshard purely because I noticed this thread. I know I'm a little late, but I kinda want in, if possible. It's hard to find an active crew of writers anymore. Also, do you guys happen to have a VOIP set up? Or know a group that does? I've been looking for anyone who's set up to do that. -
Hey Peeps! I'm a novelist. That pretty much sums me up. 'Siren King' is an alias attributed to a character in one of my works. I ran the Redwall's Legacy site for several years under the name 'Sethorion' ( in case any of you guys happen to know me). It's nice to meet everybody!
