AM I LATE TO THE PARTY??

Mine for Stormlight

FINALLY I HAVE FOUND MY PEOPLE. And yes, I do like Brandon Sanderson. He's my favorite author! Been a fan of his works for about 2 years now, though I still feel like I haven't read even half of his works. My favorite characters are Syl, Pattern, Hoid, and Alcatraz, though not many have probably heard of them :|

This is Marsh we're talking about. He would manage.

If this is about the crew, then they'd be left heartbroken and lost (especially Elend). Vin played a big role in their plans, and if she just vanished, well, it'll be chaotic. Scadrial would be messed up so bad, and I think you can guess why. If this is about what would've happened in their relationship, they would have been toxic af. Also I suspect Ruin would possess one of them and turn them against the other.

Note: At the time I am writing this I am completely lacking information on both Alcatraz and Harry Potter. It's been a few months since I read (well, listened to) Alcatraz and I forgot some things...so I will be relying on what I remember and what I gathered from the Coppermind. The same thing goes with HP; I haven't read any of the books, however, I have watched the movies and did my own research about the HP universe. And this idea was just for fun, heh. And feel free to correct me if I got something wrong. IDK IF I SHOULD MARK THIS AS SPOILER SINCE I DO MENTION SOME CHARACTERS THAT AREN'T IN BOOK 1, BUT SMALL SPOILER ALERT ANYWAY. You have been warned I got inspired by 'Alcatraz in Roshar, what if...' so now I present to you: What if Alcatraz and his crew got transported into the HP universe. I mean, it does sound somewhat plausible (+it's a fanfic idea, go figure). Where the HP and Alcatraz are parallel worlds in one universe--kind of like the Cosmere, except it's much more of a mini-universe in a big universe. Alcatraz and Kaz's Talents are on the whack again, which ends up with Kaz's Talent making them lost, and Alcatraz' Talent clashing with his. Because of this, it happened to mess with a universal law or the boundary that keeps them separate, which makes them end up in a world completely different (yet similar) from their own. I did enjoy toying with this idea, but as I went further I seemed to be getting nowhere. These are some other stuff that I came up with though. How they got to HP: I was thinking that they were in the middle of some sort of escape attempt, skirmish, or just playing around. Probably something similar to what happened in book 4 when Kaz tried get them to the glass ship that will transport them to Mokia. The crew: Alcatraz and Kaz, of course. Bastille, maybe the crew in book 4 + Grandpa Smedry or Draulin. Or Sing. I couldn't decide. Shenanigans that would happen (this is the best part): - Alcatraz would drive Hermione, Snape, Mcgonagall--and practically everyone--nuts - Alcatraz and Harry would try switching glasses. And I'm sure Al would get along with Harry and Ron. As for Hermione (see the statement above) - Filch will go mad from the chaos. - Kaz would get lost on the Quidditch field while a game is going on. He would also wind up in different professor's classes. - Grandpa Smedry would be late to everything, as always. - Someone's wand will get broken. I'm sure of it. - Bastille would totally sucker punch someone with her purse. I'm not sure who, but I'm debating Harry or Draco. She'd also (probably) get along well with Ginny. - If Bastille and Ginny DO get along, Ginny would invite her to play Quidditch. Bastille would try it, though she won't be happy. - Alcatraz tries Quidditch. Oliver Wood is not happy. - Any Mokians on the crew would surely enjoy Hagrid's company. Change my mind. - LUNA OH MY GOODNESS. I'm sure she'd appreciate the Smedrys' eccentrics. - When Grandpa gets into an accident, Madam Pomfrey would be confused asf as to why the wound hasn't gotten as bad as it should be by that time. - Snape doesn't know what to do. He really doesn't. But he does know he hates Alcatraz's guts more than any other students' - NEVILLE AND AYDEE INTERACTION. IT WOULD BE WHOLESOME ASF. I might write a fanfic based off this, but I might not. If any of you guys want to use this idea or use this as a writing prompt, then go ahead! This is all I've come up with for now, though feel free to pitch in any ideas that you guys came up with. I'm curious to see what y'all think. (hahaha grammar go brrr)

POOR CREM ;-;

Struggling with the same problem here as well. I've tried to work this idea out, but couldn't seem to form a cohesive plot for it so I set it aside for now. And I felt like it was similar to a bunch of other stuff that is already out there, or too cliche. It was about this institute that bred the future leaders of the world. Students were kept coddled, and they were taught things like foreign languages, diplomacy, laws--anything future leaders/officers would possibly need to know. For a long time, no one's managed to sneak out, until a group of 4 teens did manage to escape and see the world for themselves, only to be disappointed with how its current state was.

Wow they look so cool!

THIS IS IMPRESSIVE WTHH

Yo this is awesome!! I love the crystal touches <3

Just a quick, rough painting of what I imagine the Steel Inquisitors would look like Edit: Didn't have enough time to reply to all the replies, but thank you guys <3

When I took the quiz a couple months back it said I was a Lightweaver. Now, though, I got Truthwatcher (Lightweaver runs close behind though). Took me a while to get used to the change. I always thought I was a Lightweaver because I have an interest in the arts. Eventually I realized have much more in common with Truthwatchers than Lightweavers these days though.

Skyward and Starsight had their own ups-and-downs. Skyward focused on character development and Spensa trying to prove herself. Starsight focused on the Superiority and the Krell. Skyward's plot was predictable in some ways, but it was still well structured. Starsight, however, had a lot of twists and turns (some good, some unnecessary). I enjoyed both books, but if I had to choose, I'd go with Skyward. Edit (11/20/21): After a couple more rereads...I gotta say I think I liked Starsight a bit more now. By juuuust a bit. They're still pretty neck-and-neck; Skyward had more of my favorite moments between Spin and her friends, but I really grew to enjoy the events and worldbuilding of Starsight much more--and the little bits that I didn't notice on my first few reads. I really liked Spin in this one, as well as the new aliens we are introduced to. I did miss the flight at first, but the rest of what happens next--Spensa spying, M-Bot and Spensa's conversations, introducing us to the world beyond Detritus, etc.--overshadowed that (understandable tbh, I'm a bit of a sucker for those things). The Spensa and the delver near the end felt a bit meh, but I can't help but think it just felt that way because we know almost next-to-nothing about the nature of delvers. Basically: Skyward - really loved the battles, characters, Spensa's growth, and the emotionally impactful moments were spot on. Starsight - introduced us to the galaxy and the Superiority, I liked the plot, worldbuilding, and it left me with sooo much questions to ponder about (which I'll take gladly, thank you very much)

The title of this discussion is pretty self-explanatory. If you could spend the day with a Skyward or Starsight character for a day, who would it be? I've pondered on this for a while and honestly, I'd like to spend a day with Brade; see what her life is like and stuff you know? Maybe learn about how she came to be Winzik's minion and see how she's being treated for being a human on Starsight. Brade isn't one of my favorite characters (nor do I dislike her, just neutral) but she's intriguing enough for me to want to know more about her character. I feel like there's so much more to her--in both personality and history--than what we were shown in the book. I know this sounds like whole lot of stuff, but anyone can learn so much within a single day. Those are my thoughts. How about you guys?

Hahaha, yes this account was on here for a while, though I completely forgot about it until I tried signing up yesterday (turns out the email I was trying to use was already connected to this account) --so I'm still pretty new to this site and stuff. As for my favorite Cosmere book, it's definitely Words of Radiance at the moment. I haven't read a lot of the Cosmere yet but hopefully I will soon!

Hello! I usually go by my user (Cara/Caramel). This account has been here for a while (though I got logged out and completely forgot about it until yesterday), and a fan of Brandon's works for even longer than that. I wouldn't have known about Brandon if it wasn't for my dad who also happens to be an avid fantasy reader. Alcatraz and the Evil Librarians (book 1) was the first work of Brandon that I've read, though it wasn't until I read Steelheart --that was almost one or two years ago; time flies by so fast--that I started getting into more of his works. Aside from those, I've already read the first Mistborn Era, the Alloy of Law, Way of Kings, Words of Radiance, Skyward, Starsight, and listened to The Rithmatist and the rest of the Alcatraz series on audiobook. So far those are the only ones I've read. My dad says Warbreaker, Elantris, and Legion might still be too hard for me to understand so I'm not allowed to read them yet. As for the others, I'm still on the lookout for them in my local bookstores. Anyways, I'm looking forward to interacting with this community! Nice to meet you all.
