I love him for the magical characters that feel real. I love him for the dedication he has, the speed in which he puts out books and the quality of those books. I love him for his new and interesting ideas and storylines, and the way he does research for a lot of different things in his books. I love that he has created so many interesting, as well as believable creatures that you could imagine existing in real life, and I love how he has created a culture out of nonexistent people, places, and environments and yet they seem real. I find it magical that he can create characters from very different backgrounds, social standings, and with many different strengths and weaknesses and yet somehow make them relatable. Anyways. It's probably obvious. I love Sanderson's books like no other. As well as that, he himself is a very friendly, kind, nerds person who appreciates his fans and visits lots of places to meet us

All of this art is fantastic!! You are so skilled! -
Just don't let the dog die please. Even before I read Alcatraz i thought it was an overused idea. I do think a secondary cat system woil d go pretty well with and complement the dog system as long as you do it correctly
-
All of the ones you just mentioned are ones I want to watch. The dog magic system is amszing. Fantastic idea you have here. I haven't seen anything quite like it before
-
I have seen Howl's Moving Castle, Ponyo, and Spirited Away(I think I have seen others, but it was so long ago I don't remember) Ah yes, the plot twist
-
Voice can be used, but it is only magical for certain people/magic users I believe. That is one of those details that one of my siblings remembers better than I do. I think this would go along with this though: some musicians can sing as well as play, but some musicians couldn't sing to save their life I actually haven't seen that many. So far I haven't seen any I didn't like. And yeah, I think we totally just high-jacked this thread
-
I heard about that. It is definitely interesting. I still need to finish watching all the Ghibli movies already out before I worry about any new ones though
-
Wow. Thats an amazing way to describe it. I wonder what it would feel like to be a hoodie. . . I love Studio Ghibli movies so much. Ponyo, Spirited Away, Howl's moving Castle they are all just amazing.
-
Wow. That is the most original idea I have ever seen. Magical hoodie. Good job Japan is great. Pokèmon, Anime, (I think Studio Ghibli was from there too, if I recall correctly)
-
Yeah, I get how useful it is to use earth. Now that I think about it, my magical gloves story was in an alternate earth. Hmmm.. . .. An evil hoodie?? That is just pure amazing. Hec, even if I knew it was evil I would probably wear it anyways just because of how cool that is. Ah yes, the Anime. Sword art online is amazing, I have to admit. I rewatched it recently. Watching anime does spawn a lot of new creative eideas
-
I guess you could say it's like Arcanum Unbounded I imagine that alternate earths are a bit harder to do that for(all of my stories are placed in brand-new worlds). That is definitely an interesting one though Ooooh, the Punk Duo. That sounds amazing. Both of those ideas would probably work grandly for you

And yet some people write entire books that are just a ton of short stories together. I totally get that. One story I am writing was originally going to be for like 10-14 ish, but then certain things happen to my characters and they grow up, etc. And for a while I was trying to keep track of what age group it might be, but by now I am just like, "if it gets published, then we can decide then". Also, all the cussing I have in my books is mainly fun thing kind of how Sanderson does it. (Things like Storms, Rust and Ruin, etc.(except I make up my own that suit the world)) Oh I had this one really cool magic system that I wrote a mini story for(the first and only short story I could ever write), but I want to re-write it and change it to a bigger book with a better plotline. For a while I was in love with Steampunk(it brings along a lot of interesting ideas to me), so I really wanted to come up with a Steam-based magic system. Basically, all of the technology, etc. revolves around this magic. These magic users, referred to as "Steam-Casters"(wow, my autocorrect knows it by now), can put gears together to create things and then use their abilities to make it come to life. All factories have Steam powered machinery, and there are a few pets made out of gears. Any "living" gear constructed thing(in my story I have a Gear-Constructed cat), has to be made out of multiple different metals. I can't remember off the top of my head all of them, but it is like silver gears give it cognitive thought, gold can make it see and hear, etc. It is a very fun concept to me, plus I loved writing my side character "Gears the cat", so I hope to rewrite it, but better.

You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

WindowSyl. My brother sometimes says I am "Sylly", and then there are things like, Sylver, and Sylk. -
Same here. It is surprisingly difficult to get new or original sci-fi stories. And yes. I can almost never work under a word count
-
Oh my, it was supposed to be sci-fi I definitely will give it try. Actually to be honest the one reason I butchered it is because I was home schooled my entire life, and me as a home schooled child was trying to write what school was like, and it is completely off. Now that I have been to school, perhaps I can write that better. Nice cheat, having your robot black out. I probably wouldn't have thought of that
-
I did something similar with a sci-finger story I was writing. I tried to make it short but it ended up being too long for a short story. Oooooh. One story idea I had once had to do with a magic system based on gloves. These gloves could give you magical person to do different things(like writing, drawing, fighting, studying, teaching, etc.). However I had the idea like 3 or 4 years ago and really butchered it in my attempt to write it.
-
Fantastic ideas, both of which I would love to read as books. I always wanted to write a short story, but for some reason all my writing goes super long
-
Wow. I seriously enjoy reading these. It isn't even the full book and I am already excited. Some of my othe r ideas consists of : Dragon pirates, a video game character that is brougut to life by some brilliant millionaire(think iron man, but instead of the suit, an army of video game characters), and a girl who has the childish dream of being able to fly by basically jumping super high, but then finds out she can

Exactly my point . -
Wow, that sounds like a lot of fun! You have a lot of great ideas. All my other story ideas are really just tiny tidbits I hope to throw into some story or another one day. See about the prophecy in the story I am writing though, is, everyone is able to guess who it is telling of almost immediately, which actually is what makes the characters make these choices. To explain it better: people find out who the "villain" is and so starts to shun him, and that is what makes him turn evil in the first place. It is one of those things where, if people had ignored the prophecy, it would never have come true

Spilling my Guts (because I forgot to before)

Hi @Runeweaver , I love what you have done with your personality here. I have been trying to do something similar, but since ei only started thinking of it recently, it isn't very organized yet. Anyways, I hope yI have fun here on the shard and we are all glad to have you! -
@Serce Forts, welcome. I, too am a lightweaver. I have experimented with sounds waves as well, but it is more of a hobby for me, since I am much better at the drawing side. Wait. . . You said you were one of Navani's scribes once? I have been a part of that group for quite some time. Perhaps we may have met before? Either way. I am glad you have decided to join us and hope you enjoy your time here! Sincerely, Brightness Carola Davar, a fellow lightweaver and surgefinder.

Books, Movies and Show You Did Not Like

Unpopular oppinion warning! A few books I actually never really enjoyed Harry Potter - I think it was because so many people loved it I expected it to be fantastic but then when it was just good, it went below expectations and to me just turned to me not enjoying it. Hunger Games - first of all the premise of it scares me. Second I just. . . It has the same problem as Harry Potter for me. It was over rated. Maze Runner - I feel like it is a trend for me to dislike books that so many people like and it is for the same reason. If someone tells me a boOk is terrible or just okay, then if it happens to be just above that, I will love it, but something that is great , that is given the expectation to be fastastic, just really can't for me. Movies: Avatar (which has already been discussed here) Percy Jackson movies(loved the books hated the movies) And, Eragon(seriously, just make it into a TV show to make it accurate) -
Storms, that sounds fantastic. One of my favorite things to do is read/write stories that go along with some kind of stereotype, but with a twist. One story I am writing actually has the main character as the villain, thlough also includes some from the point of view of the protagonist. I take a prophecy and mess with it and it is so much fun. What you are doing here is definitely something I would read and most likely love.

That sounds like an amazing story idea. Thanks for helping me out and thanks for the support
