Also every single piece of art is so amazing!!!!

Am I the only one who finds Battar's blade to be suspiciously close to how Oathbringer is described?

Just a little mashup: Oh, well imagine as I pilot my craft down a dark corridor and I can't help but to hear, no I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words: "What a beautiful taynix!" What a beautiful taynix says a Dione to a varvax "Oh yes, but what a shame. What a shame that poor Doomslug is a--" SHHHHHH BRADE JUMPS IN WITH A "HAVEN'T YOU PEOPLE EVER HEARD OF SUMMONING SCUDDING DELVERS" IT'S MUCH BETTER TO FACE THESE KINDS OF THINGS WITH AN AGGRESSIVE PERSONALITY BRADE JUMPS IN, "HAVEN'T YOU PEOPLE EVER HEARD OF ENDING THE HUMAN SCOURGE" IT'S MUCH BETTER TO FACE THESE KINDS OF THINGS WITH A SENSE OF Oh, well in fact, if you look at it this way, I mean technically the station is saved this calls for a toast, so pour the champagne OH well in FACT I mean look at it this way I mean TECHNICALLY that HUMAN'S a SLAVE this calls for a TOAST so pour the champagne pour the champagne ((aggressive personality, oh, oh)) I JUMP IN WITH A "HAVEN'T YOU PEOPLE EVER HEARD THAT FALSE ENDINGS ARE NOT A JOKE, NO IT'S MUCH BETTER TO FACE THESE KINDS OF THINGS WITH AN AGGRESSIVE PERSONALITY" I JUMP IN "HAVEN'T YOU PEOPLE EVER HEARD THAT MY GRANDMA IS KIND OF WOKE, YO" IT'S MUCH BETTER TO FACE THESE KINDS OF THINGS WITH AN AGGRESSIVE ((peeeerrrrrrrsoooooonaaalityyyyyyyyyy yeah)) and so forth drop your own mixups in here please!

Oh haha it took me a second to realize the typo was the wrong pronoun. Thanks!

Cool! The first chapter is in the spoiler box.

Not on here, but I can post it if people want to read it

Wow, thank you! Haha yeah.

Hello! Here's the second chapter of my current WIP. Considered a science fiction, kind of. Takes place in this frontier area on another world. Pointers and critiques are very appreciated! Rip it apart, please.

Not to mention giant rock monsters

That is a really cool idea! You could have each section be a mission that he completes and then has his memory erased at the end. And since his mind is erased, it is plausible that he could forget conclusions that he had arrived at earlier, but then remember them for the climax...

This is a really intriguing idea! Likewise, I don't think I could pull it off either, haha. But I think you could pull it off if you were very careful in the structure of the story. For instance, I think that the beginning chapter(s) and the very end would not be randomized, just for the sake of clarity and tension as you noted, but the middle could be fairly randomized. If each scene were fairly self-contained but also had overarching ambiguous elements that could be used in every scene (the plague killed even more people, Joe got stronger, etc) Anyway, I think this idea has a lot of potential!

These are really good! I especially like where they lose humanity, sight, or can't move. These are all really interesting. The delusional and insanity ones would be especially fun to play with... As dark as you want.

I'm looking for costs for using telekinesis/psychic powers other than "she gets a really bad nosebleed". All ideas are greatly appreciated!

So do people have red eyes? (Or pink, orange, purple, etc) Or is red a non-usable color? If that is the case, would a red painted room be used as a prison cell?

I'm not belittling the choice; quite the opposite. I actually like that about the philosophy he implements, and that he takes inspiration from his faith. I also like the interpretations I've heard that I wouldn't have thought on my own.

I can't really add much more than has already been said, but I do want to point out that Brandon is very famous for putting in his own beliefs into his books. He always officially denies it and says that you can interpret it any way you want, but for me this is a very blatant example of showing that nobody is so bad that they cannot choose to change. I see it as a hopeful message to the reader that whatever they feel bad about, they, like Dalinar, can change and become better. And for those who are familiar with Brandon's faith, Dalinar's redemption is VERY similar to a religious figure known as Alma, and it is my personal belief that he was supposed to emulate the same arc. Basically, what makes Dalinar a better person than Sadeas or Amaram is the personal responsibility that he puts on himself. Instead of blaming external forces or "giving his pain" to Odium, he takes the responsibility for his own actions. And he chooses to take whatever consequences that might bring for him. Of course, as Brandon says, you can interpret the book in any way you choose, but that is my thought on the subject.

Ah, so that's what that means! Odium: "For my new champion...I choose this baby. Even I'M not evil enough to fight a baby."

Oh storms that's Awesome! I like lawful evil Shasnah XD

Dalinar and Odium. Don't worry, its not real.

I have never heard of venlirin before but I actually...kind of like it? Kind of ship it? But its seems Very Chaotic

Agreed. Szift is very gross. ...Though I could totally get behind Szord-Nimi, that would be hilarious . I actually considered putting in Yelig-namaram on the chart, but there was no room next to vyre's knifeblood

This is just for fun! Please don't attack

To me, this seems like he wanted the artifabrian to make a fabrial out of the black sphere...which, since it probably holds an unmade, would be pretty scary.
