When you develop a device that allows you to transport yourself into your favorite series and talk to the characters. Oh, Kaladin and Shallan say hi everybody.

Does anyone else pretend that each individual blade of grass is an enemy and that you are an all powerful being scything them down an epic battle when you mow your lawn? .........Yeah me neither.

Oh. Ohhhhhhh. It's a pony thing. I read the comments without looking at the video, and assumed you were talking about the Lovegood kind of Luna. I was mightily confused for a while there.

Kool-Aid. Buckets of Kool-Aid.

Satire/Humor has now been added to the poll! Does anyone else have any genres I missed? Keep in mind I'm trying to avoid subgener and just going for the big ones. Thanks!

Actually, I too am a little disappointed. I would love to find out how it ends! Someone needs to make a short story out of this! Or a mini-series or something.

The online system we use at my school doesn't always work properly, so this has happened to me before. It's the worst.

So last night I had a dream. And it was... interesting to say the least. But it inspired me to create this topic, and I didn't see anything else like it on the various forums. I would like to tell you about my aforementioned dream. Afterwards, I would like to hear any interpretations you may have of my dream or anyone else who chooses to share their dreams. Okay, here goes. My dream begins by following a young brunette girl (whom I've never seen before this particular dream) around the age of four or five. She is walking through the woods behind my house, down a leaf-strewn path. (One that doesn't actually exist in reality.) Suddenly, a wrinkled old hag (also someone I've never seen before) appears on the trail before the girl. The old woman points to the girls left, off the path and into the woods before whispering eerily, "You've awakened them,". The girl looks to where the woman is pointing to see three tree stumps in a clearing. Green shoots are visibly growing out of the dead trunks, and nestled in the shoots of each trunk are a newborn baby boy. None of the babies cry. They all have deep green eyes, and the baby in the center of the trio has silver hair. The three infants stare at the girl unblinkingly, until she flees back to my house. The dream now begins to follow me as I step outside my home and into my backyard. (It has only been a few seconds since the little girl returned to my house.) I wait for a moment, then an eighteen (don't ask how I know how old the kid is, just some of that weird dream knowledge) year old boy (who, once again, I have no idea who he is... this actually happens to me in dreams a lot more than you would imagine ) walks up beside me. He nods, and the we casually stroll over to my garage. We step inside, and when we step back out into the morning light, we each are brandishing a large battle axe. We then go to my back yard and wait for our enemies to arrive. (Again, don't ask how we knew they were coming, more inexplicable dream knowledge.) They quickly show up, the same three creatures that the little girl saw in the woods. The three of them have all some how grown impossibly fast, the silver haired leader (lets call him Quicksilver, just to be funny ) now appears to be in his mid-fifties, while his two cronies appear to be in their mid-twenties. All three of them are well muscled and wear black suits and ties. The two minions are identical in every way, right down to their forest green eyes. In fact, the only thing separating them from Quicksilver is his obvious age and grey hair. Quicksilver sends his two lackeys in to battle us. The two attackers our inhumanly strong, and dastardly hard to kill. But my comrade and I stand firm, and after a handful of minutes of fighting (of which I now remember next to nothing of) we are victorious over our foes. Quicksilver snarls in fury and leaps forward to join the fray. My nameless partner and I soon find out that unlike his two minions, Quicksilver can also generate illusions. I attack Quicksilver only to find that I have my axe buried in my dead companion's body. (Oops... ) Enraged, I bound over to my adversary. I grab him, then push him into the wall of my home, somehow phasing him into the material itself. (Apparently I also have superhuman abilities?) His head and upper body protrude from the wall, and I kindly axe him in the face. I grab him by the shoulder, then fling him onto the ground before my feet and swing my axe down onto him once more. I drop my axe and say, "I hate fighting illusionists," (because obviously I do that all the time haha ) before walking away. Alright. Your turn! What weird/memorable dreams have you had?

Hello, people of the interwebs! It recently occurred to me that I'm not really sure which genre most of the Sharders prefer. I would assume that they all at least enjoy fantasy novels, since good ol' Bandersnatch writes mostly fantasy. My personal favorite happens to be (surprise, surprise) fantasy! Sword and Sorcery, High Fantasy, Epic Fantasy, Heroic Fantasy, I love all shapes, forms and versions. I love the swords, the close-up-in-your-face-take-your-head-off action scenes. I love the world building behind it and getting to know all of these different creatures and races and landscapes. I love the magic, whether that is the classic fireballs and summoning spells or the innovative drinking metal kinds. I love the medieval setting, with armor and horses and castles and keeps. I just really enjoy fantasy. What genre do you love, and why? Vote now and let your voice be heard!

Is it a human being?

Sadly, most of my vast *Ahem* arsenal of jokes are really old. But I'll still try. Two fish are sitting in a tank. One looks at the other and says, "Do you have any idea how to drive this thing?!"

Good ol' Admiral Ackbar. Where would Star Wars memes be without him?

So, I happen to love chocolate. And peanut butter. And salted caramel. Today is my one year anniversary with the girlfriend. She got me Chocolate Peanut Butter Salted Caramel Truffles. They are even better than they sound.

Grabs attention References the Dark Alley Random yet interesting quote. Very good, very good. 8.87/10 Would read again.

Well... I would say Kaladin. I know he's the stereotypical "hero with a dark past" but something about him just clicks with me. I also like how he is a Windrunner, and protects the people around him. He has power, and I was raised to believe that the powerful should protect and serve the weak, not themselves.

When you go to the beach, and all you can think about is the fact that you aren't reading White Sands right now.

Oh! Good idea! I particularly like the idea of predators being able to slow down the time around their prey. That way the prey are moving extremely slow, and the predators can walk over and have a snack at their leisure.

Oh, hey! My brother lives in that rainforest! Well, the North Carolinian one, not the Washington one.

I will join. I must join! ...please... just accept my humblest of requests and let me be a member... Books before friends. 17th Shard before the real world. Release dates before birthdays. Not sure if I'm more of a Forumlurker or a Convertshaper though.

Actually, yes! A good bit like that. I think it would be neat if the temperature was a little lower though, like 20-30 °F. I have this cool image in my head of icicles hanging down from the tree branches as the clouds above spill forth buckets of rain.
