    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❤

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Hey, we're a team! Just thought i'd say hi, i'm very excited!

      Hello! I’m just as excited as you!

    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.

    Welcome to the shard! I joined less than a month ago myself, you're gonna have a lot of fun. Which cosmere character would you say is most like you?
  15. Xavier Iriarte
    I'm in! Where will we answer the puzzle? The first one to write it in this thread wins?
  16. Xavier Iriarte
    Absolutely. That is why Kaladin is my favourite character in the stormlight archive, the way Brandon talks about his depression without saying "This is Kaladin, he has depression" is fantastic. He just makes you feel it, it's easy to understand and internalize, i myself have felt like Kaladin many times and find impressive the skill with which Brandon portrays it. Brandon Sanderson is a genius.

    Submit small tips on how to make people happy! When someone is excited about some news and asks you to guess just how good it is, always give a low estimate, so that they are happy to tell you it was much better. Example: Hey, how many upvotes do you think my post in cosmere musical got? Mmm i don't know, about 4? Dude it got 9!!! No way! Way! *Excited sounds*

    Thank you! I checked ealrier but the bar is somewhat tricky to spot on the phone

    How do you know this?
  20. Xavier Iriarte
    That sounds good!

    I have never worked on a google doc, is that were you can modify thing in real time so that other see? You mean so we can help each other?

    Guys, i'm finished and quite frankly i think Raoden is a perfect fit for this song, so without further ado A million dreams as sung by prince Raoden
  23. Xavier Iriarte
    @Wyndlerunner said he'd do "From now on"

    @Shard of Thought and i are trying to create a Cosmere version of the whole "The greatest showman" soundtrack. So far the idea is to have the first song (the greatest showman) to be a sort of intro to the cosmere, and the rest to be about different books in the cosmere. If you want to try one just comment which one so we know. Let's have fun! I'll make "A million dreams"
  25. Xavier Iriarte
    That's a good idea, that way people can see it and join if they want. Let this thread be for random songs that people want to make. Let me get on it
