  1. Aight, here's who I want... Nan Balat. Come on... We have no idea what happened to Shallan's fam during the year or during RoW! I want to see what they're up to.
  2. If only you knew the full context...
  3. Update time! I'm working on chapter 3 and will have that done soon. It's introducing one of the main characters, so I'll probably show that to y'all later today if I get around to finishing it. For now, I'll show you my chapter one so that those who didn't see the status update ages ago can see it. (Note: this is very rough and will get a lot of editing later on, especially for flow and pacing.) (Well, and grammar... I'm horrible at grammar. But ah well!) It needs a lot of work especially to why the crowd is cheering and to how the ending works, but I think it's fine for a rough draft...
  4. Tomorrow.

    Tomorrow the site will be updated.

    Tomorrow is the day that I wage war on my novel and force it to be good.

    The urge to tinker endlessly on one chapter is just so high rn... but I know that it will be better if I actually finish the storming thing.

  5. *blinks* That's quite the plan, Panda... Hmmmmmmmmm... Sounds like a... Del-ightful diy-vious plan. Sorry, it's early and I'm barely awake. My puns are fifty percent worse at this time. Then again, does that make them better?
  6. When you're feeling absolutely horrible and don't know why, then you pray to know why and the spirit's like: "Hey, remember that person who absolutely deserved what you said to them, but you still feel guilty about because you may have mishandled the situation, x, y and z?" *sighs* Looks like I have to say sorry to someone if I can find them today or tomorrow... Ah well.
  7. the thing is, it isn't really an ending. The night brigade still exists and there story can be told after this. It doesn't have to be the final ending for the admiral.
  8. Heck yeah. It would have to be dark, but I think, if handled well, it could work well with Brandon's themes. I think that the optimistic protagonist would help Brandon be more comfortable with writing it.
  9. *breathes*

    It's thursday-

    A Blessing From The Lord! | Know Your Meme

    I can read!

  10. Ahhhh, a traveler! Welcome to the sacred halls of theory crafting and role-play insanity, @AN020C! From cookies to sticks, spikes to immortal beings, we sure do have it all. Well, all except nazis, (well, except that one time. BUT NOT CURRENTLY!). I hope you enjoy this place. What's your favorite novel by Sanderson?
  11. The urge to stop rereading WoK and start Name of the Wind is real-

    I just have to finish WoK and then I'll move on! I have to be able to finish books!

    *meanwhile, Name of the wind on my desk looking at me like "READ ME, FRIEND!!!!"*

      This is me right now with Death's End and...anything else, really.

  12. Kaladin will get a ryshadium with wings in Stormlight five and name it Rainbowdash.
  13. HAPPY BIRTHDAY

    I cannot wait until you come back, you quark beast. You're a great person!!!

  14. Wow. That's insane. I was on the presidency, stake youth council and temple and family history committee, I was supposed to be on the ward youth council too, but like... I never got around to that. That just sounds so rough, especially having to create the agenda.
  15. I swear. I enjoy the subjects I'm being taught in school, I want to enjoy it.

    I just don't enjoy the pace it's being thrown at me at all. Like, I would enjoy it if I had two weeks to get one week done. That would be the dream. I would get so much done. So much more efficiently. 

    *sigh*

      Nah, it’s not awful. I mean, it’s awful, but it’s not awful.

      It's awful, but not. It's a paradox.

  16. The urge to say "Super Super Big Doctor" is high. Jon Deadfinger?
  17. Was listening to the Sunlit Man reactions and thought of some things. For those who don't know, it's going to be about a group of people coming to the homeland on Threnody and trying to take it back from the Evil. The first seen is, from what Brandon has said, going to be survivors from several shipwrecks arriving on the shore of the Homeland. In the episode of Shardcast, they mention how the Evil might be a big entity, a cosmic force perhaps. They also discuss that the Admiral from the epilogue of Sunlit Man might be in the book. Here's my theory and pitch for what the book, The Night Brigade, could be. The Admiral is one of the two-five viewpoint characters of the novel. She's the leader of the whole group. Throughout the novel, the characters start to die, including the viewpoint characters. At the climax of the novel, there are only a few characters left, at least two pov ones, one being the Admiral. In the climax of coming to confront what could be the main entity of the Evil, almost the entire Night Brigade dies, except for a small group of people. The Admiral and maybe one other person has to go confront the Evil by themselves. They go do it and find the primary entity of the evil. They start to deal with the entity, negotiating a little bit after a little bit. Idk the specifics here, that would greatly depend on some of the motivations of the characters. The entity takes the other character, threatening to kill them. The admiral freezes as the Evil tells her that the rest of the brigade is starting to die. She has to decide. The entity's grip on the other character would probably tighten, bringing them closer to death. The admiral makes a deal, making it so that her night brigade stays in tact, that her friend is alive and that she can command shades. In return, the entity/evil will be given free reign of the homeland and, perhaps, the planet. This whole thing hardens the admiral and makes her feel super guilty. She could also have been a little more cheery and optimistic throughout the book, but that would be gone at this point of the novel. Thoughts on the idea?
  18. That one time when I made that one topic. I only went back to look at it because I put "Death is not the end" in it and I wanted to look at it to see the phrasing of how I did it. I think I titled it something like "Death is not the end." It was September of last year I wanna say.
