    Meanwhile, Butt started a lemonade stand. But that was irrelevant.
  2. The Bookwyrm
    Bookwyrm, realizing that he didn't have to participate in the games anymore, vanished out of the arena, leaving Abomination alone amongst the black flames.
  3. The Bookwyrm
    The javelin disappeared instantly, of course. Bookwyrm resummoned it as a spear and waited for Abomination to attack again. "I really don't want to fight you," he said. Bookwyrm glared at Nameless. "What'd you to that for? I thought we were finally done."
  4. The Bookwyrm
    This left Bookwyrm confused.
  5. The Bookwyrm
    Bookwyrm used his Pyrokinesis to manipulate the flames, creating a gap that he could fly through. He dismissed his Narrationblade and his Shardshield, the resummoned the Shardblade as a javelin that he hurled at Abomination.
  6. The Bookwyrm
    Bookwyrm had collected several types of precognition magic throughout his travels. Three separate warnings came to him, and he spun in midair to dodge the attack.
  7. The Bookwyrm
    Bookwyrm was confused because people kept dying and coming back to life. I mean, this is TLT, he thought to himself. He Lashed himself upward half a Lashing, hovering in the air. Time to see if Abomination can fly.
  8. The Bookwyrm
    Bookwyrm took this opportunity to jump, flaring Pewter. This, coupled with the slight upward lashing, launched him very high into the sky. He dodged the mordite sword easily. He then summoned a stream of a deep blue fire that raced toward Abomination.
  9. The Bookwyrm
    Bookwyrm waited. He wasn't going to attack until someone attacked him first.
  10. The Bookwyrm
    "I can't make any promises. If you don't want me to bleed, maybe don't stab me." Bookwyrm Lashed himself upward slightly, lessening his weight, ready to leap out of the way if Abomination lunged.
  11. The Bookwyrm
    Suddenly the real Abomination walked in, making it a three way duel.
  12. The Bookwyrm
    "Oh, storms. I really don't want to do this." Bookwyrm summoned his Narrationblade, and his living Shardblade as a shield. He swallowed a vial of metals and sucked in a few spheres worth of stormlight. He kept a few magical incantations in the back of his mind, ready to use if needed. But, all in all, he was mostly on the defense.
  13. The Bookwyrm
    Suddenly, Bookwyrm was thrown, quite violently and against his will, into the arena.
  14. The Bookwyrm
    "I would also like to know this."

    Ever since I became invested in the Cosmere (yes, the pun was intended), I have toyed with the idea of writing my own connected universe akin to Brandon Sanderson's. As a writer, I am very good at worldbuilding, and can usually come up with interesting ideas for stories and the places that those stories would happen on. But I am no good at actually writing a coherent plot with interesting characters. I usually just write a few chapters of a story and then abandon it because I can't think of what to write next. Anyway, over time I've had many ideas for stories, and some of these ideas became ideas that I could fit into a connected universe. I have always liked the idea of a story based around dragons, because I like dragons, but dragons that have capabilities for interstellar travel. When I combined this idea with some of the other ones that I'd had, I was able to make a very rough outline for some kind of connected universe, akin to the Cosmere. Here is the rough overview of this Connected Universe. (Note that this is basically just copied and pasted from a google doc that has all my notes.) Overview And here are the summaries of some stories that would take place in this connected universe. Northern Seas Drifter Earth Story Andromeda's Descendants That's basically it. What do you think? Comments, questions, suggestions? They're all welcome.

    Bookwyrm, who had also gotten taken into the arena, was trying to figure out how to sabotage it and blow the whole thing up without hurting any of the narrators. He was helped in his current plan by a friendly Selffalfrednahg and Found the Kitten. Unfortunately, he kept having to fight battles, so he wasn't able to get much work done on his plan.

    Found the Kitten ate Spook's chicken sandwich.

    Meanwhile, the Selffalfrednahgs were nervous about the Eizards, and worried that they might try to take them over. They started setting up defenses.

    It actually says in the post where he's introduced (on page 2 of TLT) that he's Elend's cousin. Proof: Rayse is trying to trick everyone into thinking he's Taravangian, but then tricked Hoid into thinking he was Taravangian pretending to be Rayse just to trip things up and be perfectly confusing. Theory: There is an Invested black hole in the Cosmere. (And now once again, even though I came up with this on the spot, I want this to be a real thing.)

    It's less of suddenly falling toward the ceiling, and more of the center of gravity slowly rotating onto the wall, then the ceiling, then back on the other wall, then on the floor again. Like a giant magical hamster wheel.

    I put the prequels, but I just generally like the entire franchise and all things that occur in it. I don't have a specific favorite movie or group of movies. This is less of a random thought and more of a random thing that I've been thinking about recently. (I realize those are the same thing, so who cares.) I've been spending a lot of time recently thinking about how I would survive if I started falling the wrong way in specific rooms. I also think about how I would get home if gravity turned off without floating off into space.

    "Yes. I can adeptly utilize magic from many different worlds, which I'm assuming will be helpful on whatever quest we're going on."

    Oh yeah! We have a few colonies of cockroaches that we've basically grown ourselves, including some Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches. All of them are tropical cockroaches, so they just die if they get out. No pest infestation. But yes, we feed our tarantulas home-grown cockroaches.

    I have more if you look back a few pages, scattered amongst the random posts. Most of them are on page 1476, I think.
