    Alas, one year left....I WILL RETURN AGAIN LATER!

    Rym jumped when he saw Darkstalker and drew his sword.
  3. The Bookwyrm
    Rym glanced around. What? he thought. What...what just happened? Calano had just re-made the universe, effectively re-setting the past few events. Only Rym's connection to a narrator had let him retain his memory. He began to warily explore the new universe.
  4. The Bookwyrm
    Bookwyrm nodded and smiled confidently.

    Rym drew his Mordite sword and dodged the attacks with a scary amount of precision. Taking a risk, he sliced his sword through the air right where a burst of flame had appeared from.

    @CalanoCorvus, you're an amazing person! You've contributed so much to the community here on the shard, and have made good friends with many people. (One need only look at your list of Shardbuddies for proof.) You've definitely changed this place for the better!

    Rym stepped outside and looked around. "How the scud did we get here?" he asked.
  8. The Bookwyrm
    "I sure don't know," Rym responded. "We probably need to find out, though."
  9. The Bookwyrm
    Rym gasped, the breath knocked out of him. He struggled to stand up again. "What was that?" he asked once he could speak again. "Are you okay, Calano?"
  10. The Bookwyrm
    Interested, yes. Experienced? No. TPBM is supposed to be doing math homework right now.

    Don't worry, Rayen will have experienced enough trauma by the time the scene is over... Also, sadly, I probably won't get to share much more of how this story goes. I would need my friends' permission for that, and I'm not sure how comfortable they'd be sharing. Because I'm writing this specific scene alone, I can share it. And I will finish this scene, at the very least. Afterwards, basically all of what I share will be independent projects.

    This is the one thread where you'd rather get ninja'd, I just realized.

    Come see my new thread where I share the things I've written!

    So, I like to attempt to write fantasy (and sometimes sci-fi). I am especially good at coming up with worldbuilding, and create beautiful worlds for stories to take place in. However, I am not so good with characters and plot, meaning many of the things I write end up trailing off awkwardly after a few chapters. So, this leaves me with a few snippets of attempted literature that I can share with you! This thread will contain a bunch of things I've written, and many of them will be part of (or at least related to) my Connected Universe. This first one is actually very recent: I wrote it over the last week or so. It's not done yet, so I'll post the rest of it later. Some friends and I have been trying to write a story together. I did most of the main worldbuilding. We each have a main character that we're in charge of, and this is the first scene featuring my character. Kind of a backstory, not officially part of anything yet. Tell me what you think!

    Rym shrugged and walked back to Calano's house. "Sorry about that..." he said as he stepped in the door, but paused when he saw the orb. "What's it doing now?"
  16. The Bookwyrm
    "I'll be back," Rym said, heading for the door and walking past Rond. "Let me know if anything happens while I'm gone." Rym went to chase down the man and make sure that he didn't do anything drastic.
  17. The Bookwyrm
    Rym was somewhat startled that so many people had suddenly appeared at Calano's house. "The Narrators are taking great interest in this place, for some reason..." he said to himself.
  18. The Bookwyrm
    Welcome to the Shard! I've played the Call to Adventure: The Stormlight Archive, and it's an incredible and really fun game. Thank you for making such an incredible thing for us Sanderfans to enjoy!

    "Thank you." Rym walked over to the hovering sphere. He took out a notebook and wrote something down. He seemed....strangely unurgent about the situation, though he was obviously wary of the sphere. He put the notebook away and turned to Calano. "My name is Rym," he said. "You can consider me...a gatherer of information. Can you tell me where this sphere came from?"
  20. The Bookwyrm
    Rym glanced up at the birds in his hair. He raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything about it. "I came here because....well, I like to be where important stuff is happening. And this seems like something important..." He looked worriedly over Calano's shoulder at the floating red orb, which was still emitting the loud static noise.
  21. The Bookwyrm
    Rym was standing there. He wore his normal grey button up shirt and black cargo pants, but was also wearing a sturdy cloak to protect him from the rain that was falling outside. "Oh," he said as he saw the glowing red orb. "Do you need some help?"
  22. The Bookwyrm
    A soft knock sounded at Calano's door. I would like to participate in this storyline, If that's okay. Though I'll do my best not to derail it.
  23. The Bookwyrm
    After Noot promptly ate it, another knock came at Calano's door, though this one was much less urgent.
  24. The Bookwyrm
    Now that I look at it and think about it, this makes perfect sense. Compounding is nothing but an overload of an ability that should be impossible to overload, and so it should make sense that those that depend on it gain a reliance on it in the same way an allomantic savant does. Their spiritwebs are definitely overloaded with those kinds of investiture, and the symptoms you're describing perfectly fit with what we know about savants. I'm pretty sure you've hit the mark dead on here. Really good theory!

    Confusion reigned.
