No I don't think you are allowed to talk about unpublished works here. You can PM someone but we have a IRC channel on freenode labelled #cosmere where you are allowed to talk about it.

Hello. Would you like a welcome cookie? Hope I'll be able to read your writing in the future. (That was probably the longest introduction I've read)

Yes, or you can send another email. But I think it would be better to reply.

Additionally once Conflux says that I think there's a later point where Prof says that he did suspect Megan of being an Epic.
Yeah he also might not have wanted to
use his Epic powers

I think the black sphere is a way containing a large amount of Investiture, OR it gives the ability to absorb Stormlight with its benefits as Hoid, who took a bead of Lerasium and apparently has reached at least the second heightening, appears to be looking for these Black Spheres.

Yeah I did it a few days ago and I got both given to me by Brandon's assistant Adam Horne. Must be a mistake.

Awesome you're here!
READ STORMLIGHT.
Would you like a bookie? They book shaped cookies that taste like you favorite characters! For example, a Vin bookie would taste like insecurity and pure badchullery. We have a no spike guarantee! Well, unless you choose a Marsh.
READ STORMLIGHT, SYLPHRENA IS THE BEST.
I think Wyndle>Sylphrena because Voidbringers>Spren.

Sorry, I feel a bit late to the opinion party. I typed this up last Friday, but never posted it. I can't tell if we're in the discussion stage or still in the griping stage, but I've been out of it lately. Sorry.
Honestly, one of the biggest proofs of devaluing is that 1: Stormgate (IIRC, sorry if I'm wrong) joined in October and has over 1000 rep already, and that someone (don't recall who) who joined about then has 300 and describes themself as having "not that much". I'm about to have my second "birthday" and don't even have 250.
Sorry if this post is redundant and irrelevant, but hey. You asked for opinions.
I've gotten too attached to the numbers, and it occasionally genuinely upsets me. Which isn't all that hard considering I've had depression to some degree or another since I was 5, but still.
I really like the titles and feel a sense of accomplishment for reaching new ones. But at the same time, it's too easy to compare myself to other people, which never ends well.
I try to give out upvotes sparingly when I feel people really deserve them, but I feel like my effort goes to waste because my 1 doesn't do much to most of the people. At the same time, I get really cheered up when I get an upvote because they're fairly rare for me. I can go a week of solid posting and not get any, then take the next week off and get 5 upvotes and I can't even tell what they're for.
The only time I've hit the cap was when I decided to upvote all of Brandon's posts, 'cause I figured he deserved to have a higher overall reputation. So yes, I spamvoted. And honestly, I regret it.
I suggest we keep a really low daily cap (I like 10) but add a way to undo so that if you've hit 10 and you feel one post needs it more than another you can still upvote that one. Also, then we wouldn't have to worry about "accidental downvotes" (which, I've noticed, often garner the downvoter a couple condolence rep)
So I guess I'm representing the depressed low-self-esteem portion of the forum? But we tend to be quite individualistic, so I don't really think I can stand for others.
And I'm not bringing that up for attention, I really hate admitting to it. But it's part of why I view the world the way I do, so I explain.
Stormgate does like to post a lot. And I mean A LOT.

Which would, of course, be very hard.
Well he obviously couldn't hide it in his eyebrows. (I'm bad at photoshop)

One of either Shallan or Adolin will die. Then maybe the other will sacrifice herself
like in Mistborn

When you read "venture" and you wonder why it's not capitalized.

I see what you did there.

I would think that the Shard of FMA:B is "Truth".
Wouldn't the shard actually be called "Ed...ward"?

Mogget was one of these beings, he was the Eighth (the first Seven Invested their power and it can be channeled through the bells, the Ninth is the Orannis).
So what, we've got Nine Shards on one planet? And Seven of them share the same magic system (the Free Magic and necromancy)? What about Codex then?
There were also something about Seven starting the bloodlines of people, it was about Great Codesex or something.
Just saying, might wanna put a few spoiler tags on there. Part of Abhosren was spoiled for me cause I accidentally continued in Abhorsen instead of continuing reading the last few chapters of Lirael.

No, IIRC Charter was Free Magic somehow restricted by symbols... And there was some difference between Free Magic and Necromancy, but they tended to intermingle.
And Free Magic could corrupt Charter... confusing.
I thought Free Magic was powerful but unpredictable power which was contained by the Seven by creating the Charter.

Thanks guys. I didn't spot that map when I was looking through the contents.

The Old Kingdom series is definitely Cosmere. Death has the feel of the Cognitive Realm and the stars after the 9th Gate could be the Spiritual Realm. Plus chaining Orannis and limiting his power is like what Preservation did to Ruin. The magic systems fit nicely in with the other worlds as well. Seriously, if Garth Nix hadn't written those books years before Brandon I would have sworn he was being influenced by him but maybe it was the other way around!
Hey, maybe that's why in Alcatraz vs the Scrivener's Bones he tries to through the scent off him and says : "If you happen to fall into that last category, you should know that my name isn’t really Alcatraz Smedry, nor is it Brandon Sanderson. My name is really Garth Nix, and you can find me in Australia. Oh, and I insulted your mother once. What’re you going to do about it, huh?" Possibly the best line I've ever read in a book ever

Then what's the Investiture? Mogget?
