It seemed like a good choice due to the high concentration of Sharders in the area and the high probability of Brandon signings. Again, I can't do it this year, but 2017 could totally work. Heck, if we generate enough interest, an annual Sharder party could become a thing.

Hmm. It seems to me that a Feruchemist ought to have a general sense of how much of an attribute they have stored in a metal, and thus how much a particular size of metal ought to be able to hold. If you're sensing a reduced capacity, then that would suggest the piece is lacking in purity. Someone experienced would then be able to tell whether a particular piece was usable. There must be at least some synergy between Feruchemical and Allomantic mixtures, at the very least, or else Compounding would be a lot trickier.

Cons are awesome. The huge ones like Dragon*Con are just too much for me; when you've got so many people in downtown Atlanta that you can't even walk down the street, maaaybe you need to consider that it's time to start capping membership. As much as I'd love to convince everyone to come to KC for WorldCon this August, it's got a pretty expensive membership price tag thanks to its nature as the Hugo Awards con. It only gets a few thousand people, but they have a lot going on. It's not realistic to expect people to come trucking down for a 5-day con that costs you over $150 just for the membership. ETA: HonorSpren, Google search for craft foam sword tutorials. There's an amazing lot of stuff you can do with craft foam.

Or even something like plan a mass migration to SLCC or JordanCon some year. (I can't do this year. My con calendar is already full!)

Well, if you go with a Compounding power, particularly something with commonly found metals like iron or steel, you'd be able to detect sound metals with your Feruchemy. A bad alloy won't hold a charge, or at the very least will hold it inefficiently. That'll at least give you a safety margin when it comes to scooping up random bits of metal.

Cruises are...rather expensive, no?

Heh, I've seen that. And got impatient with it because she took so freakin' long to stake him. XD

Welcome to the madhouse! This is, indeed, a forum of insanely detail-oriented fandom. You will not be disappointed.

I read it! And thought about how Narcissa is a way better mom than yours. I still hold to the headcanon that the real way it all ended was, "And then Buffy staked Edward. The end." And, a moment of shameless self-promotion: I made a tiny adorable Yoda!

Man, if it was, my life would be so much more interesting.

I learned to crochet! Yay!

Getting fixed is generally a lot easier on boy dogs than girl dogs. The surgery's not nearly as invasive, so he's probably feeling just fine.

OK, am I the only one who's actually getting aggravated at this shoehorned love triangle thing? If they take the obvious route and make Violet secretly evil, I am going to be so disappointed.

There are also sufficient similarities to suggest that Adonalsium was a Time Lord artifact.

Not unless Reckoners actually happens. See? Until real-life people start getting superpowers, we're safe. On the other hand, believing that Doctor Who is Cosmere...

Older? I'll have you know I've got 3 years on you, whippersnapper!

Considering Chuck Norris's impressive belt buckles, I think he's doomed.

Well, there we go. I'm an asthmatic and even thirdhand stuff has the potential to send me into an attack. Yeeeah...there's also a fine line between "comforting warmth" and "fiery burning". Whiskey burns. Some of us are a wee bit more sensitive. Plus, keep in mind that your stomach has a lining on it that protects against the hydrochloric acid that we use to digest our food. Feeling something burning in your stomach is likely to feel different than it would in your lungs.

Except knowing Saze, he'll find a way to say it politely and in such a manner as to make us feel good about him asking.

Except that the act of burning it would probably cause some lung irritation in and of itself. Allomancers can feel the metal burning in their stomach, and it's got some serious protections on its lining. The same effect in the lungs would probably be Very Bad.

Most of us Sharders would do it solely for the opportunity to say, "Hi, Saze!" and bounce gleefully.

Right down to the voice actor. "So, we have this idea for a villain! He's basically this universe's version of Q. So we should try and get someone who sounds like John deLancie." "Why not just get John deLancie?" "Well, because we can't, obviously." "Are you sure? I mean, has anybody asked him?"

At least the ponies have actual magical powers themselves! The 12-year-olds are just kids.

It's probably a combination of both. The genuine helpful thing because she has to keep up the self-illusion of being a Good Mother , with the sabotaging being subconscious and/or something she'd never admit to. But after all, she knows best, and wouldn't you be better off near your family? Even if it takes longer to find a job? It really disturbs me how easily I get into some people's heads sometimes. I don't suppose that, "Because I am made of 100% awesome!" would not be an appropriately professional answer?
