    Hey, everybody! I'm quite new to Sanderson's literature, I've only started reading his books late 2019. I've read the first Misborn trilogy, Alloy, as well as the SA. I'm currently reading the last book of the Wheel of Time series, so there are those few shared authorships. I still have quite a bit of reading to do, but I went on a Sanderson hiatus after Alloy (which was good, but didn't get me invested enough to devour the second trilogy, and got sidelined due to work) to explore other famous fantasy series. I should however start reading his stuff once again in preparation for RoW.

    I'm a philosophy scholar by profession, and an aspiring author as well. If you're curious, my name is not related to thunderclasts, it's a translation to english of the name of magic users in the book I'm currently outlining. The system involves sacrificing memories as its power source.

    I hope you're all safe in these troubling times!

    Greetings! Welcome to the Shard! 

    Also, I think I'm going to like your story. Is it a memory-fueled magic system? Or, is losing memory an effect? Wow, this cool idea you've got...

    Favorite book of all time? Gosh that's hard, I love so many. Can I pick a series? Cause then it would be the Wheel of Time, by Robert Jordan. Thanks for the welcome. :) The Wheel of Time was what introduced me to Brandon Sanderson. He's my favorite author. 

     

    Same here. Same here.

      • I would want wisdom
      • I would wish for my entire family and I to be marooned on a small island with a lighthouse on it. We would get weekly shipments of needed supplies. No one would ever want to leave, so no one would ever try.

    I just wanted to say thanks to every person I've interacted with so far on the Shard. Y'all are all so kind and welcoming to everyone. I just wanted to let you know, that this is not a normal occurrence of the internet at all. People here have all sorts of differing political and religious beliefs, but nobody really lets that get in the way. I know I'm still new and all, but from what I've seen, you guys are really the best to everyone. When I first entered the forum, so many people welcomed me and didn't treat me as an outsider. This is kind of a continuation from some things I was saying in the good news thread, that basically things have been tough for me lately, but the Shard has brightened my days (to say the least). I found that the last few days, the thing I looked forward to the most was not the reading that lets me escape, but coming on the Shard and talking to people who will just talk. You guys are ok with talking about stupid stuff, and weird stuff, and nerdy stuff, and deep stuff, and that's really cool.

    Anyway, I'm going to tag the main people who've been super welcoming to make sure that they get this:

    @Condensation @revelryintheart @DramaQueen @Channelknight Fadran @Vapor @Mist @Lunamor @Adran Oathbreaker @AonEne @Spren of Kindness @Sorana @A Windrunner @Honorless @Darkfinder @I Am A Fish @Rushu42 @The_Truthwatcher @Nathrangking @Enter a username PLUSSS literally everyone else I've come in contact with since getting here!! I unfortunately do not have photographic memory, otherwise I'd totally put you ALL on here. SOOOOO if you see this, then THIS IS FOR YOU!!! I have yet to meet someone mean or harsh on the Shard, so you're all cool.

    Aww, same with you, too. People here are quite accommodating, so despite me being an introvert, I can really engage with the folks here. :D

    I'm an elsecaller. If I had to pick a favorite spren it would have to be Pattern. I especially like in the first book his being able to grasp complex ideas easily, but struggling with simple ones.

    Greetings! Congratulations on having your tier, and becoming a Sharder. 

    Elsecaller here also.

    Storms, favorite magic system... I think I'd have to say Mistborn, but barely. I really like all of Sanderson's magic systems because of their originality. He never goes with the expected cliches.

    What's your favorite?

    I have three on the top spot haha. BioChomatic Breath in Warbreaker, the Stormlight of course, and the one in Emperor's Soul. :D
