I see a fantastic emoticon. I hear tell of puns pertaining to ponies. Indicates well that you like Sticks, and that you like magical ponies. 10/10.

I'll try to join at some point in the near-ish future. My username is MrMrPeanut. (Don't ask.)

It was pretty funny, though.

Coinshot! They can shoot coins and stuff. Would you rather be a stick or fire?

*Puff* *Puff* *Puff* *Puff* I made it! It's... It's..... Baaa! Welcome to the forum! Have a "cookie"!

Christian Bale and his throat cancer Batman voice. Or did you mean Batman movie? If so, The Dark Knight. Favourite Insect?

Take up a random Shard, because then I at least have a chance of getting something good. And if I get something crappy like Odium or Ruin or something, I can just lock myself away in a couple thousand years before I change too much. Would you rather have to use a chull as your only vehicle for the rest of your life, or have your hand Lashed to a fence post forever?

Whew, I thought they were getting close to... never mind. You know you're a Sanderfan when you think that this is a good idea.

Also, I think that Harmony, as an intent, probably makes Sazed restrain himself, since he has to keep the balance and all that.

Actually, I think that there's a quote somewhere in Firefight where David says that he thinks that Epics are motivated to... y'know, do Epic stuff because of their fear.

Yeah. When you're a sword, it's hard to pick things up without poking holes in them.

Also, most of the Epics we've seen so far and had the reasons for their weaknesses have had their weakness based on their greatest fear before they became Epics, so I'm not sure that it's possible for the corruption to be your fear, seeing that at the time Prof became an Epic, he presumably didn't know about the corrupting influence. Potentially, at the present of the books, seeing that they figured out about the corruption, if somebody feared becoming an Epic and being corrupted by it, that could be their weakness, but I don't think it'd work for Prof.

Welcome to the forum! Hope you have a good time here!

Haha! I have more reputation than WayneSpren's brother! And then I casually glanced at Kobold's post.

Are you telling me that you saw me reading Firefight yesterday?

25% Stoneward 25% Edgedancer 25% Willshaper 19% Truthwatcher 16% Skybreaker 16% Bondsmith 8% Dustbringer 5% Lightweaver ... Perhaps I should try again.

Well that fell apart quickly. David is secretly an Epic with the ability to suppress the corruption of his own ability of suppressing corruption.

Pepperoni. Favourite restaurant?

Let's go with katars. Favourite condiment?

You're telling me this now? Less than 24 hours after I post my thing?

I can't believe that this is actually a thing. The Reckoners RPG really is crazy, isn't it? On a relevant note, the pony wins if she has no fear of Steelheart, otherwise Steelheart wins.

Funny thing about that: I was at the bookstore today, and looking in the young adult section because I wanted to check how much "Firefight" and "The Rithmatist" cost, and there was a copy of "The Hero of Ages" there as well. However, there was also a copy of "The Hero of Ages" in the adult fantasy section. The only difference between the two is the cover: The copy in the adult section had the cover with Vin and Elend standing back to back, while the copy in the teen section had the cover with Vin standing atop of a dead koloss. (The second one offends my sensibilities as a Sanderfan, since Vin doesn't have an obsidian dagger and her hair is tinged red, but ANYway,) What struck me as strange was that Vin looked 25-30-ish years old on the one in the adult section, while she looked like she was 12-15-ish on the young adult version. In any case, random anecdotes notwithstanding, I think that the difference is that young adult novels are more marketed at teens, so they deal more with themes that teens will identify with, and also always use first-person viewpoint for some reason.For instance, if "The Hunger Games was marketed and written for an adult audience, I imagine that it would deal more with how the games are terrible and can't be stood for, as well as themes pertaining to that, instead of it that being a backdrop to Katniss and her quest to find Peeta. I think that were it written for adults, the backdrop and center-stage roles would be reversed. Mockingjay spoilers Finally, I think that most books are written with what kind of book they want to be (Middle-grade, young adult, adult, children's, whatever.), and some things that would be deemed inappropriate for that age group would not be included in the final copy. P.S. I could go on about some other books, but I won't subject you to that. I have a bad history of being ill-disposed to/despising young adult novels.

Well, I didn't know that, having only three days experience. Also, I'm beginning to get the feeling that there was something fishy about the cookies I was offered. I distinctly recall there being some mention of Horneaters eating shells. Perhaps not specifically chull shells, but that was implied. (Also, I need to add "Chull" and "Horneater" to the dictionary.)
