Baine: Well, Pattern was pretty creepy before he turned out to be Shallan's spren... Ari: You might be onto something. Though, we don't exactly know how far Brandon's going to go with a Shardworld of three Splinters. Cultivation's power hasn't really been seen like Odium and Honor's... Maybe!

How do I vote? (Kinda a forum newbie...)

Thanks! INFP here.

I guess I was a little hasty while writing that comment.

Hmm, you do have a point.

While reading WoK and WoR I noticed something really exciting: Elhokar sees the shadow of at least one Cryptic following him. He complains about it when talking about his fear of being assassinated, offhandedly saying "I see them in the shadows... Swirling symbols." (I'll find the exact quote a little bit later, but those are the important parts. If someone else wants to find and post the quote feel free!) Thoughts? Theories?

Hoid = Ravenclaw. He's strange and wise enough! Lol, but I'm serious about his placing. Adolin is a dead ringer for Hufflepuff, but I can see him being a Gryffindor too. Shallan is hard to place, but I believe she's a Slytherin. Let me explain: Shallan LOVES finally being able to adventure and study, something she'd dreamed of forever. She struggled with her bond with Pattern and accepting it (Slytherin's are known for their hard times in accepting themselves as they are. They seem to think that they aren't enough...). Renerin is a Ravenclaw. Dalinar is a 'Puff or a Gryffindor, much like Adolin. I think he's more of a Gryffindor though. Navini is a Ravenclaw, she loves tinkering with Fabrials like Luna Lovegood's mum did with spells, only safer. Elohkar is a Gryffindor. Kaladin is a Slytherin with VERY STRONG Gryffindor qualities. Tien is a 'Puff. Rock is a Gryffindor. Lopen is a Gryffindor. Teft is a grumpy Ravenclaw. Jasnah is a Ravenclaw. Lift is a Puff. Sebrial is a Ravenclaw. Palona is a Gryffindor. ... That's all I can think of right now.

Food / cooking on / rock. Rock / on cooking / food. Just adding my little attempt. I hope to acheive longer Keteks, but haven't quite managed one yet.

Dirty-blonde hair, brown eyes, kinda muscular, good with guns, nerdy, and afraid of drowning (because he almost did so in a lake). I'm describing my uncle there, but it fits David really well.

"Dustbringer! Oh wait, copyrights. Deathdust? No, that's too weird. Dustdeath sounds just as bad." *He crumples that paper.* *Accidently crumples it so it has 'death' and 'point' right by each other.* *Doesn't see it.* "I wonder what shows are on." *goes and watches TV.*

Primary powers would be hyper-realistic hallucinations in everyone around me and hightened physical abilities. Secondary would be slight danger sense, but my aura would make this only aplicable for snipers. My weakness: driving a car with other people on the road. Which as my power is a constant aura, is highly dangerous. My weird Epic name... Inkspell. Outfit... Hm. Black v neck t-shirt, black jeans, gold neckalace and bracelets, and I'm barefoot. My long hair is braided down my back neatly. Things that activate my Evil Epic Destroyer Mode, stupid people being stupid in my line of vision. I would be very vicious. (Ps, I'm a girl, just in case you didn't figure that out...)

I relate to everything you said in that opening.Slontze could be just like "jerk" or other similar words, or it could have been an Epic who died in a really dramatic/comical/stupid way before everyone stopped fighting and so it has been verb-ed into someone who is Epic-ly and dramatically stupid. (I also like the "mush for brains" and sun/Calamity theories.)

...

When Kal is just STARING at Pattern in shardblade form, and she says she might drop it on his foot if he doesn't take it soon.

Food cooking/ on rock/ and/ Rock on /cooking food.

Ditto. It also makes me want to hide the little cremlings until they are big enough to resemble Chasmfiends; majestic, large, and ultimately just plain scary. Better start writing...

The way I see it, Raoden didn't really want to be king. He thought that Elantris wouldn't be restored ever, and he thought that becoming king of Arelon would be abandoning Elantris to shrivel back into what it was before he came. He also wanted to see how Sarene would react to him being able to get out of Elantris (and because of what happened when she left Elantris he was a bit embarassed to fully show himself as Raoden, the guy she was supposedly married to). There's an infodump on my thoughts. Hopefully you can understand it!

Hey, just saw this thread, read it (but not the sample yet), and had to throw in my two cents. If you really want to learn more about writing, go find that info you want. Do it. You are in charge of training yourself to be a writer. No one else can do it for you (though the Internet has allowed us to share our ideas and tips easily).
