  1. Below is the chapters that I have written for a novel that is not yet entitled. Spoilered for size Chapter One Chapter two World Map Thanks for reading!
  2. TenSoon. I can feed the bones of my enemies to him, even if he can't change. Plus he is an excellent conversationalist. Would you rather have syl or pattern as a companion?
  3. Steel compounder. Flying would be....fun. And super speed. Speed is so much cooler than storing weight, in my opinion. 10th heightening (breaths) or full compounder (metallic arts)?
  4. I've seen it here, but I simply have to recommend Warbreaker. It took my breath away. It truly awakened me to the possibilities of novels. I'll never read anything the same, whether it is a message on my phone from Siri, or a long paragraph.
  5. Did anybody on the shard attend or is attending an ivy league college? If so, what did you do in High School to get there?
  6. i haven't. brb edit: okay. So it is similar yet different it is different because I will filter what gets thrown out there. I don't want it to be a confusing free for all. I really like the idea of a "netflix" for books. Wattpad doesn't have the serial style of production. I just see my way as less confusing.
  7. Guys, I had a lightbulb. So the main problem with getting published is finding a publisher, right? Some opt to go the route of self-publishing, but they are rarely successful because few people find their stuff. So my plan, which involves you, brilliant shard writers, is to create a site where we can publish our books. However, as a new website idea I have a new idea coupled with it; write stories in episodic format. Each "episode" will be 5000-12000 words. Each is sufficient as just a story and is part of something larger too. For example, take the Cosmere. One can read each novel as an independent novel, but they are all interconnected. Basically, it will be a series of short stories. My goal is to help struggling authors get their work read by a wider audience. I think the bare minimum we would need to go in is 10 writers. So being the person that I am, I had this idea and made a very basic website and added an example of a short story of my own. https://alexjudd8.wixsite.com/bookhaven I'm willing to develop and manage the site, but I need a few commitments first. So, what do you think of the idea? (Please be gentle.)
  8. In a one on one confrontation, Eragon has the obvious advantage of the Seven Death words. Barring that, things get a lot more interesting. So we set up a challenge where Eragon and Saphira are on one side (Limitations, no death words, no Eldunari) And Syl and Kaladin on the other (Limitations, none) I'm guessing that Eragon would attempt to break the mind of Kaladin, but would, in this scenario, be blocked by Sylphrena. Unless Eragon figured out a VERY clever way to use magic, I'm guessing that the only thing he could do is stop Kaladin from flying by controlling the winds. Now, I'm going to compare a living shard blade to about the equivalent to the Dautherdaut. That means that it can injure dragons. Saphira would attempt to protect Eragon, but be foiled since she can not fly as she normally could. Kaladin, taking advantage of this deficit, make quick work of Saphira. (Sadly) He then dispatches a largely defenseless Eragon, who is still reeling from the death of his Dragon.
  9. Kaladin isn't a full radiant? I thought he was.
  10. Yes, that is most likely true. However, it would require either hemalurgy or a full mistborn, both of which are rare by the time that in worlders understand the concept of savantism
  11. I think we know that the order was Skybreakers.
  12. Elsecaller as well. Fits me.
  13. Why did Shallan stop the wagons? She was out of Gaz
  14. Deep south? Incidentally i also live in texas
  15. Amen ward. I made the mistake of reading Elantris last, an well, it shows that it was his first book.
  16. You could always email brandon (For copyright purposes) and then copy, paste, and print the poster
  17. That makes me curious as to who might be involved in House Venture... a good excuse for a re-read
  18. Welcome to the Shard! Have a cookie! Everybody loves Brandin's writing here! Left wing? Color me confused. Anyway, good luck!
  19. I doubt it, if only because of the extremely low survival rates on scadrial. Add that they were wealthy, and well, Skaa were killing nobles. So my vote is no. Have an up vote on me tho
  20. I'm very curious. My personal favorite is Mistborn, FE, with WoR in a very close second. Mistborn was my first, and it has my favorite magic system by far.
  21. Okay, okay, I sense whats going on You're face-to-face with greatness and it's strange You don't even know what to do, it's overdrawn Well, it's nice to see that humans never change Open your eyes, let's beginYes it's really me, It's Hoid, breathe it inI know it's a lot: the magic, the honor When you're staring at a worldhopper[Chorus]What can I say except "goodbye"? For these tides, this sun, this sky Hey, it's okay, it's okay, goodbyeI'm just an ordinary wise guy![Verse 2]Hey, what was there when adonalsium was shattered When you're birth was no matter? This bastard! If nights got cold, who steals the magic of fire of old Me, and I break into strongholds!Oh, also I lassoed the sun, (Sorry Scadrial) To ruin your days and bring you MyradaalAlso, I harnessed the breath, goodbye To fill your sky with ash till you comply [Chorus]So, what can I say except "goodbye"? For the worlds I stole from thee There's no need to pray, it's okay, I'm leaving I guess it's just my way of being me Goodbye, Goodbye[Verse 3]Well, come to think of it Odium, honestly, I can explain it to you, retard I can explain every shardHonor, Cultivation, PreservationOh, that was Hoid just explaining damnationI killed a vessel, It was quite a tussle Sprouted a tree, now you've got atiWhat's the lesson? What is the takeaway?Don't mess with Hoid when he's on the breakawayAnd the tapestry here in my skinIs a map of the victories I winLook where I've been, I make everything happenLook at that mean mini Maui just tippity tappingHa, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, heySorry i got lazy and i gotta go eat
  22. (Mr. Sunnyton has baby) "He's my joy! My son! My sun!. That's what I'll name him!" "You there. What is your name?" Sun ground his teeth. "Sun son-son Sonnyton
  23. Changed my profile pic!1

  24. The writing style reminds me of The Name of the Wind. Which was one of the best books I've ever read. You have my full fledged support!
  25. Thanks. Knew I could rely on the shard
