1. Sunlit Exciting cosmere stuff, awesome depth of character, wonderfully paced. Also I'm a sucker for sci-fi. 2. Tress Actually might be my favorite; it was so hard to pick between it and Sunlit. ToTES is just so unique in its style, plus all the characters are incredibly likeable. 3. Yumi Also very good, though the story itself wasn't as engaging to me. Super cool worldbuilding. 4. Frugal A delightful read just bursting with creativity, but most of the characters felt unmemorable and not very interesting. (The main character arc was great, other than all the introspection. I would have preferred full flashbacks instead of him just realizing things about his past.)

That's awesome! I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product

You're right, I didn't think about that aspect of it

Sure, but what will "magic users" even mean at that point? Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the future I suspect that having multiple types of abilities/magic systems will become more standard than having a single one. (Except for cases like the Radiants being stuck on Roshar, but that could change.)

YKYASFW you switch to High Imperial when talking to a non-Sanderfan and they look at you like you're ising the having of crazy

True. But to be fair, if another Shard were to create a race the same way Preservation did, Invention seems like the obvious one. I mean, it's in the name.

I'd wanna see one from a Radiant Spren (not Syl cause she's already had one.) Pattern, Maya, or Glys?

Ooh, that's a really cool idea. Especially if you can't tell the difference between a regular and a corrupted Floran until you try it. I think a planet settled by Invention could be cool. Maybe people would use investiture to power their machines somehow? Idk

Alright everyone, it's time to post your most far-fetched cosmere theories and try to support them as best you can. I'll go first: The first sentence of The Final Empire, "Ash fell from the sky," is actually referring to Shalash, who found a way to get offworld. The version of her on Roshar is actually a Lightweaving. I've got no WoBs or evidence, but STILL! (Don't take any of these seriously, by the way.)

Chemtrails: Obviously Stormlight isn't real and the Radiants are just using it to spread around their nefarious chemical and biological agents. Yumi and the Nightmare Painter

If Pat Rothfuss wrote The Final Empire: Vin would have red hair. After living on the streets for years, Vin would search out Kelsier's crew and have to prove herself to make it in, instead of them just recruiting her. When Kelsier was done training Vin, he would move to Terris and never show up again. Burning metals would require years of study and practice to even begin using it. Kandra would be vegetarian.

Ooh, that would be cool. Although, we would need a way for the highstorms to come back eventually, cause there's no way the series would just stop having Surgebinding altogether. So with hints in RoW about Deadeyes being revived, this theory is made even stronger.

I'd choose Nalthis, partly cause Hallandren sounds like a really nice place to live, and partly because I'd get a Breath! And maybe get more Breaths somehow. But also, Ashyn used to be really Earth-like, right?... Hmmmmm
