Favorite Book ( besides Stormlight Archive and Mistborn)
I Am Witless replied to Matias's topic in General Brandon Discussion
I agree with @Wyndlerunner. Elantris was the first Sanderson book that I read, so it has a special place in my heart. It is a great intro book to the cosmere, and I know that most people recommend Mistborn, but it took me three tries to finish the Mistborn series. Elantris is shorter, snappier, funner (it is a word, fight me), less dark, and less intense. I love Elantris so much for Hrathen. I almost want to go through it reading just the Hrathen chapters, he is that amazing of a character. So again, Elantris all of the way for it's stand-alone beauty. -
Can no longer access Discord on my computer
I Am Witless replied to I Am Witless's topic in 17th Shard Discussion
On my computer? It.... it just shows up as a link. I can't download a link. My tablet won't download it in the first place, so I can't do that either. -
Hey ya'll, I'd love some advice! I used to be able to access Discord on my computer, but I can't anymore. It's not available on my tablet either. Why might this be, and how can I fix it? Danke!

Audiobook pronunciations are "Smeh-dree", "Bah-steel", "Mow-kia" and "Kah-zan" (Cousin Anne).

Nope. He did "The Long Earth" series. Discworld is amazing, and I second EVERYTHING that Leyrann said.

I second the opinion. I love them so much that I can no longer read any authors but Pratchett and Sanderson. The only problem is that Pratchett is dead, so no new books (he has 50 though, so I'm not complaining too loudly), and I joined the Fanderson a bit too early, so I have to wait for more books.

Agreed. I meant commonly accepted scientific natural forces, plate tectonics and etc. I don't know whether to include deities or not as natural forces, so I just left Adonalsium out.

@Aurora the Rioter, Do you have any egg-free cookie dough? I love me some raw cookie-dough. -
@Xtafa, the geology doesn't follow the same rules as earth because a). Adonalsium, rather than natural forces, created it and b.) crem exists. This leads to some minor inconsistencies that annoy the crap out of me, and will probably annoy you too.

I Am Witless replied to Stormblessed Dolphin's topic in The Alleyverse
I'm laughing here because you can't actually sue us. You can't even back our pancakes on Discord. And the current Light Alley is DIFFERENT from the previous alley, in the same way that songs or books with the same names are different from each other. Go ahead. Ban my pancakes. -
Sanderson Audiobooks
I Am Witless replied to Stick's Interlude's topic in General Brandon Discussion
I don't listen to heavy fiction/fantasy as audiobooks. I prefer children's books most of the time, otherwise I'd vote. -

And, dearest Archivist, I will be your Achilles, only you won't have a god to save you from me this time. I will crush you into the fields of Ilium, and even the Scamander, filth that it is, will refuse to take you down to the sea in fear that it will be punished for your ravings against the gods. You are a man who stands on top of a hill in copper armor during a thunderstorm screaming that the gods are b*st*rds. You, like the Romans, sprung from something that once was great, and now is trash. And, like the Roman empire, you will be torn apart by those who you have attempted to convince of your superiority. May Vesta curse your home. Have a nice day, and don't mess with someone who knows her Greek classics. -
Will the combatants actually be KILLED? As in, no longer allowed to RP or comment on most threads until revived? Or is it just who lost?

New to Sanderson, just read reckoners. Wow.
I Am Witless replied to mek293's topic in Introduce Yourself!
Welcome, @mek293! Have an upvote! Cosmere books are awesome, especially Elantris. Elantris is a traditional place to start in the fandom because it is a bit easier (read; shorter, less intense) than Stormlight or Mistborn. I, personally, would suggest his children's series, Alcatraz versus the Evil Librarians, but only if you want to wet yourself with laughter. -
Guess That Cosmere Character! Forum Edition!
I Am Witless replied to Kidpen's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
BINGO! Maybe a bit too easy.... -
Terry Pratchett has a TON of books. The ones with females as the main character (or at least, has a main PoV) are Monstrous Regiment (A country has been at war for so long that their most recently recruited regiment is composed solely of women dressed up as men) Nation (An islander boy and a shipwrecked girl must survive and rebuild on an island after a tsunami) Any of the books about Death (not Mort), so Hogfather, Soul Music The Tiffany Aching series (Magic + Witches + a young girl + cussing scottish fairies) The Witch series (A Mother, a Maid, and a Crone go about saving their town/small kingdom from various enemies)

I don't know any of the words that you just said, but welcome to the Shard! Have an upvote!

The Ultimate List of Questions for Brandon
I Am Witless replied to Chaos's topic in Cosmere Discussion
YOU GUYS I JUST THOUGHT OF A QUESTION THAT NO ONE HAS ASKED BEFORE. People from Roshar think that all birds are chickens, right? Well, birds are related to dinosaurs. Would they call a feathered dinosaur a chicken? -

Who is your favorite villain?
I Am Witless replied to Lord Meeker's topic in General Brandon Discussion
I second the motion put in place by @Rebecca. Hrathen was my first Sanderson "love", and he will stay that way. Give me Loki, give me Bucky Barnes, give me Hrathen. -
Lopen vs. Dockson? REALLYYYY?????? Is that even supposed to be a fight?
-
Seconding what other people have said, I didn't really pay attention to any of the artwork, and I only quickly scanned each panel to see if the movements of the characters effected the dialogue. The biggest distraction for me was, honestly, having the last chapter be by a different artist. I kept imagining how the original artist would do it. I don't like his nonsensical lines, but I do like some of the details he hides in them. In summation: I don't read graphic novels, but this was okay. Not the best portrayal of a Sanderson.

Hah, I do Running Start (concurrent enrollment in high school and college with the high school paying for the college classes) and the spring breaks are about two weeks off...... I'll be using the high school spring break to sleep in, and that's about it. Maybe a little book-binging.
