  1. *Watches Star Wars* There's no originality in this Storming world anymore! Everyone just rips off Brandon Sanderson, I mean, look at those laser swords, why couldn't they have made up their own magical sword? Really Lucas, really?
  2. Sounds good! I read the submission guidelines and rules. I'm happy (and indeed super excited) to critique others stories, as long as they aren't explicit or gratuitously violent.
  3. I think they can still make good quality movies, but it depends on what you're talking about. Story quality is the one to be worried about, not the actual film quality in my opinion. I think in the new Disney regime, they've got a good track record so far, at least in my opinion. They fire the directors that aren't doing what they envisioned, and I very much enjoyed The Force Awakens and Rogue One.
  4. A Very new writer here, and first time submitting. Can I put a submission in for the 13th?
  5. Welcome Ailvara, have an upvote! (Just a little warning, don't accept any cookies around here, they tend to be the main form of Investiture around here, and you don't want to be Invested around here, trust me!)
  6. Uhhhh, Kaladin of course!
  7. Just thought I'd throw in some WoB's from Arcanum. These offer some interesting insights, so here you go: Quote Link Windrunner Savant Can you give me any information about Trell? Brandon Sanderson *written in book* Trell has been many things over the eons... Quote Link Questioner Is there any connection between Odium and Trell? Brandon Sanderson Is there any connection between Odium and Trell. This is-- Yes there is some connection. That is a question about-- If you understood it then great, if you didn't then don't worry. Quote Link little wilson Are Trellism and Trelagism the same religion? Brandon Sanderson Uuhheha, that's a RAFO too. little wilson Is it the same god in both? Brandon Sanderson Let's just say that… who Trell is and what happened is a matter of some interest in the cosmere and amusement to me. Okay, the first quote, he has been many things over the eons. This sounds to me like Autonomy. Second quote, there's a connection between Odium and Trell. I find this super interesting but I have no idea what to think of it. Third quote, this solidifies Autonomy for me. Brandon has said Autonomy is his favorite Shards, and that one of the coolest things he's made up is that there are whole pantheons of Gods where every member is Autonomy.
  8. Go to the drop-down menu in the upper-right corner next to your username, and click on Account Settings. There's a Signature tab there, and you can change it from there.
  9. I found some WoB's on this from Arcanum, here they are: This was from the Bands of Mourning release party, anyone know what the hints in there are? This kind of feels like a purposefully vague answer. So Hoid was offered a Shard during the Shattering, interesting... Here's the Arcanum links: Did Hoid cause the Shattering? Hoid Was At The Shattering Hoid's Shard offered
  10. Is there a way to quote a WoB from Arcanum directly into a 17th Shard thread?
  11. Hey @Crimson Not Blood, welcome to the Shard! Happy reading and have an upvote!
  12. I haven't listened to any of the Graphic Audios, but happy reading, welcome to the Shard and have an upvote
  13. Hey @hula, welcome to the Shard and happy reading! Have an upvote too!
  14. Hey everyone, I just started playing Hearthstone a few days ago, so I only have a few cards, and I'm not very good. Are there any Sharders on here who also play Hearthstone and are at that same kind of level that would like to play a few games?
  15. Hey, I am also a teenager, so congrats! The first Kingkiller book was great, but I stopped reading Wise Man's Fear after a sex scene popped up, so I also suggest checking out this thread I created, with the same idea in mind as you, clean fantasy. Some great suggestions, so check it out!
  16. I feel like I should know the answer to this, but I don't, so, here goes. What is the other Windrunner surge, after gravity?
  17. I took a look at most of your suggestions, here are my thoughts: RadioLab: I love this show! Thanks, @CaptainRyan The kilogram episode wasn't in my podcast feed, so I'll probably have to go to their website to download it, but I did listen to their Nuke episode, and it was great! Serial: Thanks for the suggestion, but it wasn't really up my alley. D&D Podcasts: I didn't actually take a listen to these, specifically because I don't play D&D, and never have, but thanks for the suggestion @Fifth of Daybreak Weekly Planet: I didn't listen to this one either, but I don't watch many movies or read any comics, so after looking at the episode descriptions, I knew it wasn't a great fit, but thanks for the suggestion @Pestis the Spider Hello Internet: Thanks for the suggestion @snipexe I took a listen and I really enjoy this podcast. I love its unstructured format, and it's great when I'm tired and don't have the concentration to listen to a nice, tight episode. Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me: Haven't listened to this one YET, but I will very soon, and it looks like a good one, thanks, @Aon Ati The Legendarium Podcast: I had actually listened to a few of their episode before you suggested this, but you reminded me of it as I hadn't subscribed to it, and I really love it! Afterbuzz: I barely watch any TV, so I didn't even look at this one, but thanks anyway! Thanks for all the suggestions, this added some variety to my podcast feed, and I'm looking forward to listening to more of these shows!
  18. Thanks, @Chaos, sounds good!
  19. Hey, @The alertArchitect, welcome, happy reading, and have an upvote! I'm not on mobile so I'm afraid I can't offer a suggestion.
  20. In the cookie! That wasn't part of the plan! What were you thinking!
  21. Hey all, I need some suggestions for podcasts! I already listen to Writing Excuses, Judge John Hodgeman, a number of HowStuffWorks shows including Stuff you Missed in History Class, and Stuff You Should Know. Beyond these are several NPR shows, including Hidden Brain, Planet Money, and How I Built This. However, sometimes I just want something new. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
  22. @CelliCellos, trust me, @podman36's reputation level obviously makes him untrustworthy, I mean, I got to Crew Leader at ~120 posts, @podman36 isn't even at 100! That much reputation is not gained through trustworthy means.
  23. Hey, @CelliCellos Good to have you here! Have an upvote and happy reading! P.S. Don't accept any cookies around here, or baking goods in general, they tend to be Hemalurically infused (don't ask me how)
