Welcome to the Shard! So is this just like a normal Windrunner with a Supreme sticker slapped on it? Where am I gonna find one of these? Lol happy to have you join us! Out of each of the series you read, which was your favorite? Also @Koloss17 lmao great question I look forward to seeing the answer!

Absolutely, you are right! Just wanted to mention that it's always possible someone just left something out on accident or are thinking of it in a slightly different way like above. Perhaps they even just had poor word choice. Always give people the benefit of the doubt!

Welcome to the Shard Chase! Glad you decided to come join us! Interesting trick talking until your face goes blue! Does it work with red too? Yellow? Could be quite useful for camouflage Glad you are enjoying the book so far! I would definitely do as Honorless pointed out and avoid book specific parts of the site until you are done to avoid spoilers. Sections on just general stuff or other books should be fine though Oh and if I ever am stuck in a wagon on my way to the Shattered Plains I'll be sure to take you up on that

Welcome to the Shard! No need to be nervous, we are super happy to have you! If you have any questions don't be afraid to reach out! Well... not literally... like reach out as in try to connect with someone else.... but not literally connect... like... you know what I think you get it I would have to recommend the Secrets of The Immortal Nicholas Flamel series. First one takes a bit to get invested but I did enjoy them once it got going. Kindof like an Avatar meets world history kinda thing. Not quite as well developed but pretty grand still. Ending always gets me too lol. Hope to see you around!

You exist!! How marvelous! Was just wondering when you were going to pop to life! Sending people back in time through the realm of nonexistence can occasionally have some slight unforeseen consequences... er, I mean Welcome!... uh.... so glad you joined!... Lol glad you decided to come join us . Making a thread is exactly the perfect thing to do so we can all learn more about how wonderful you are! Look forward to seeing you around! True yeah, Kreisler may be more referring to the obtaining it seeming like cheating because with Feruchemy your whatever at one point gets saved as your whatever for another point. With Allomancy you are introducing external things to the system for power so you are not really giving anything of yourself to obtain it. That's likely why they mentioned "use my own power" and "allocating as you need." That type of thing

Welcome to the Shard! Hope you didn't fall!... when you leapt..... to join the Shard... ok yeah moving on So happy you decided to come join us! There is never a bad time to join the Shard and absolutely considering how this year is going the time has never been better. Look forward to seeing you around! And very nice quote! Kinda makes you think about all the little decisions in your life and where they are leading you and all the things you are branching away from...

Ok well everything's mostly normal now but I didn't get to post this earlier. @Truthless of Shinovar and @Channelknight Fadran had me doin double takes left and right

[Generic response that is both funny, engaging, and makes you feel the most welcome you've been anywhere.] Lol couldn't just leave it at that welcome, welcome!

I gotta say this is one of the most wonderfully English intro's I've seen!! "G'day team. Names Dan, Englishman living in sunny NewZealand." Almost had to read in a British accent only Love the puppers in the profile pic!! So much floof! Would definitely take up @Hentient's suggestion if you are looking for some more Sanderson to read. Little less complex for the YA target but honestly really engaging nonetheless. I also always have to recommend Alcatraz because I just think the way they are written is hilarious. YA yes but hilarious. Look forward to chatting with you too. Welcome to the Shard! (And for you first forum experience you are doing quite well )

Hmmm yeah good point! This one so goes both way too like just as you can see from the comment above me some people love that part of it and some people don't really dig it. Totally depends on like you and your own preferences. I would say that while how many people read it can be a measure of how good it is, some of the other factors definitely come into play. Like Harry Potter for example had like dozens of publishers reject it but yet millions of people love it today. Was it not good before it had been read by x amount of people? Idk, I think that while the number of people that read it can be a result of it being great (and therefore you could say it is a measure of it), there are definitely amazing things out there that just aren't getting the attention yet. But most definitely, that balance between telling an amazing story and missing out on getting your story across cuz you discouraged people with the length is absolutely a really interesting thing to ponder!

Lmao @Berrymand71, a jokester here we have, I see, I see . Yes, the world building but also numerous other things in general! Typically your first foray into anything you are passionate about has a lot of motivation but not a lot of skill and yet you still make something that turns out incredibly unique anyway. BUT, despite that I know your next project or the one after that or the one after that is gonna capture that same essence the way the first one did, at this point it owes you . My that does sound awesome though! What a brilliant idea to set it all into a time loop that way you keep all that work but it's unique each time. If the cycle of Desolations was becoming a playable game you might be on to something here... And man that does sound incredible! Big ideas yes but but quite an engaging one. I love the reveal-as-you-go stories where something massive happened and you can't quite figure it out till the end. Can't wait to see how it turns out keep us updated!

Wait, wait, wait let me get this straight... You are an English degreeing, Sanderson loving, music producing, basketball playing, geekinating, Sharder?? Wow... that's quit the resume right there Glad you decided to come over and join us! Happy to have you here and look forward to being able to read some of your takes on the Cosmere!

Welcome, welcome!! Lmao that first part got me "Hello Daniel" I- wow. See I don't even really know what to respond to this. The first thing is just like "Oh my you did WHAT???" That is CRAZY! The scale and size of that for each 1 inch hex with an entire continent mapped. Dang, that is impressive. You don't happen to be kinda patient now do you? And the second thing is, "WHATTTTTT???" Man that sucks more than driving 8 hours to deliver something to a friend and realizing you forgot the only truly important piece of it all once you get there (Ofc I am talking about someone else here, I would never be THAT dumb). All of that and then poof magic fire devil rainbows and its GONE?? Dang, that suuuucks. And while you were off protecting your country too, Karma owes you BIG TIME for that one. At least a silver lining is that I hope no one got hurt?? Man I can totally understand that, the first time may not always have the best skills yet but it always seems to capture something special in it. I would just try to think tho that maybe it was freeing you up to make an even better project in the future! And my if that's you then you are perfect for SA! Would love to know what you think of it and the world building more in depth. Lastly and most importantly, thank you for your service! 20 years is incredible (and congrats on the grandkid!)

Lol true that! Well if you do happen to figure it out sometime in the future.... make sure you come back and let me in on it. Yknow... uh... asking for a friend

Stalking the website!! So that's what all those random shadows and sounds are (...unless ). Lol jkjk so glad you decided to join us! Quite, quite happy to have you here. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask, everyone here is super friendly and amazing. Welcome to the shard!

Welcome to the Shard! Happy to have you join us! Ah that is the most perfect feeling when you go to make a Shard account and one already exists, happens to me all the time . Nah but for real tho well prepared, this doesn't happen to be created by any future versions of yourself doing some time travel shenanigans because they knew you would need it does it?? Just checking.... uh... asking for a friend Lol, excited to have you here as well!

Hi New, I'm Dad! *awkward high five fist bump thing* So glad you decided to join us and hope your day is excellent! Everyone here is super friendly so if you need anything or have any questions don't hesitate to reach out. Welcome to the Shard!

Welcome to the Shard! We hope your trip through inter-dimensional space to reach our lovely section of the internet was as enjoyable as possible. If you were traveling with any magical pets or items you will be able to retrieve them in the “Checking and Bagging” section of the spaceport. If you have any questions, our forum members tend to be well versed in the advanced art of “conversation” and “being a nice person.” Please do not hesitate to ask! As a precautionary screening measure for evil cosmic beings, we would love to know what has been your favorite book in the Cosmere. As for everything else, grab your bags and get ready for a ride, we hope you enjoy your stay here at the 17th Shard!

Welcome to the Shard! So awesome you decided to join us! I would totally have to agree with you, the one good thing about arriving to a series late is that you DO have a lot of series to go! When you catch up.... man! Lol yes as Honorless put earlier we definitely have our fair share of patient waiting dilemmas (have tried running in place while juggling and riding a monkey, have tried taming flaming lion-zebras, have even tried meditating with neon cricket-frogs but still no luck! If you find something to speed up the time let me know !)

Uhhhh... this was an accident I hope???

In the obligatory let's-welcome-you-but-make-you-feel-bad-by-correcting-you-cuz-that'll-make-you-feel-even-more-welcome fashion it is encouraged to put everything in one post rather than a few. You can use the plus icon next to the "quote" words to quote multiple people at once or just quote, type something, quote again, type something, etc. You get to be the friend that always texts in the 3 page essay style rather than Blurby Bobby who needs like 4 texts to get one idea out

Happy to have you join us! Welcome to the shard! That's so cool that you had someone there who you could talk about the books with in depth! And very happy you decided to come join us as well! A lot of people are here for a lack of Sanderson readers around them (or should we say a lack of non-crazy people ) so you are in perfect company! And that is so awesome you got to meet him! What is the most burning question you would want to ask?

Maybe it wasn't a dream... What if Fadran is just so amazing he's using his mind transportation and telepathy on you to practice...

Any tips... alright... If you happen to wake up with the ability to fly DONT start with the highest building you can find (contrary to popular belief you do want to ease into it) When trying to sabotage alien spacecraft filling the exhaust pipe with gummy bears is quite effective (just only use the RED gummy bears, anything else will disintegrate immediately) If you get captured my magical unicorn-monkeys bribe them with fried marshmallows and fruit snacks (AND if you really need backup they LOVE ice cream) When practicing your telepathy, pick.... Ok wait maybe Shard tips would be more useful You can get the little line of text under your name by going to your Profile. Clicking Edit Profile and then writing something in the Member Title box You can make a signature which is the text that appears at the bottom of some peoples posts by going to Account Settings and clicking on the Signature option then writing something in the box and pressing save Welcome to the Shard! Happy to have you join us!

See I'm looking at this the other way around. Maybe he was SO intimidated that he couldn't even form words to express how intimidated he was.... MAYBE, he was quaking in his lil boots so much that all he could do was laugh. Idk this could be win is that a confession?
