I first discovered the 17th shard through the coppermind. I wanted to go on a spree and learn everything about the cosmere but a lot of pages had the disclaimer of Oathbringer spoilers. The second I finished OB (binge read it in two days and finished it at 2 am) I went into Hoid's coppermind and my mind was blown with all the amazing information. For some weird reason I have never been a theory person, I never develop them, and don't care too much to read them (but I'll admit there are some cool ones) therefore, the first time I truly felt a part of the 17th shard was when I discovered a thread of people rewriting song lyrics to make them about the cosmere. I love music and writing so I wrote a few. Eventually some of us started a new one adapting all of the music of The Greatest Showman to the cosmere Cosmere version of "The greatest showman" @Wyndlerunner @Shard of Thought and @Singer made some amazing songs! (Singer even recorder theirs, listen to it!) I havent posted much since, but that is my greatest memory in the 17th shard❤

@Butt Ad Venture Thanks! It means a lot to hear that

Im not sure if this is the right place to post this, if it isn´t, please let me know where it should go. I had to write an essay for my english class detailing the people or circumstances that lead me to start reading. I decided to tell my story in a sort of unusual format, interweaving two stories at the same time, i used the prologue of Oathbringer, and i hope the reason why becomes clear once you´ve read my essay. Im looking for feedback mainly regarding the clarity of it all. Do you understand the structure of the essay? If not, how could i make it clearer? Do you think it makes for an engaging story? If you think my essay works well as it is, please let me know, i would very much appreciate it. With that said, im open to all kinds of constructive criticism.

Taravangian is not a bad guy

Let's make a list of all the things we don't know in the cosmere! Not specific things like "What would happen if..." but actual whole topics that we know nothing about, so that we know what to be looking for in future (or past) books. I'll start ● Who's "Senna" ? ● What weapon was used to kill Adonalsium? ● How is Hoid (and Frost) inmortal? ● How does Odium kill Shards? ● Does Adonalsium have a god metal? ● What's up with dragons in general? ● How exactly does fortune work? ● We know nothing about the planet Vax If any of these things have actually been fully answered do please point it out and i'll promptly edit it out. Write all you want to know so we can look back in some years and laugh at how ignorant we were!

I'm in!

Mistborn spoilers i guess I would have liked Kelsier to have met Elend for real, even more so for 2nd and 3rd book Elend, i think they would have gotten along. I always felt bad that Kelsier hated Elend for being a noble and although he ends up saving his life, he never fully aknowledges he is actually a good and intelligent person, he just sort of says "If Vin loves him he must me alright" Elend the Emperor and reformed Kelsier would have liked each other i believe

Congratulations, this must have taking a lot of effort! I - an admittedly musically ignorant person - think it's great! If anything could be done (and this is very abstract and maybe not useful feedback) it would be giving it a more 'turbulent' feeling, i feel like that's what you were trying to do with the ending maybe? Although that depends on what aspect of Shallan you're trying to capture Keep up the good work

Thousand-page-long high fantasy books seemed to me the most boring thing ever and i could not imagine how one would subject oneself to the such a painfully tedious experience. Yet here i am, in the 17th shard, having read every single cosmere book in 6 months. (Although i have never read a fantasy novel not written by Brandon Sanderson)

He appeared in a youtube series called fishing with Crendor. Crendor is a youtuber who usually interviews other internet personalities i believe and in episode 33 he interviews Brandon, it's pretty cool!

Today i finished reading warbreaker, and as such i have finally read all of the published cosmere books. That means i can no longer be spoiled! To celebrate, i want to start a thread of the biggest spoilers amongst the published cosmere books. Which one is the best/most unexpected/saddest/most exciting/etc. Needless to say if you have not read all of the cosmere books run while you can.
