KChan

This. Also negated at night when my stepdad is sleeping; I can never sneak past him, but I can walk normally in the middle of the day and unintentionally scare both him and my mom out of their skins at once.

Sad that that had to be the cause. But at least this means that people are visiting us, so it bodes well for keeping the community itself alive, which is the most important thing. Also, 77 members online in the past 25 hours. Just, wow.

That's not good. I'll definitely be looking into it as well. Thanks for the heads-up!

I'm curious: Where were these taken? The background seems very familiar. Also, very nice work!

I bring you.... The Bacon Leviathan. It's actually worth registering just to see the pictures.

As the topic states, welcome to 17th Shard! I know we're all saddened by the loss of TWG, but I'm also really excited that 17th Shard is able to give a wonderful community a new home. I'm KChan, also known as the Highprince of Stuff, and all my contact information can be found in my profile, so if you need something or just want to chat, drop me a line! The best way to get started here is simply to look around and start posting! You'll find a shiny new section just for Dan Wells, the new Reading Excuses forum, and - of course - more Brandon Sanderson discussion than you can shake a Shardblade at! Not that you'd want to, of course. That just sounds really, really dangerous, and is kind of a silly idea to boot. In order to get to know the staff better, I suggest you head on over to the Introductions forum. There you'll find the Get to Know Your Overlords 17th Shard Administration thread, along with the highly entertaining Staff According to Will. And to get to know what the various member groups do, take a look at our About page, which I will be conveniently linking you to right about here Also, don't forget to introduce yourself! It's a great way to get to know your new internet buddies, and also a great way or those of us who weren't very active on TWG - if at all - to get to know you. Once again, Welcome!

Greetings! I'm one of your friendly neighborhood admins, and I too found out about Brandon through Wheel of Time, so you're definitely not alone! He's gained a small army of new fans that way. I hope you enjoy it here, and thanks for all your work on the wiki!

A belated welcome to you from me as well, and congratulations on your recent promotion! I'm glad to see you're enjoying yourself around here thus far.

Welcome to Shardbook 17th Shard, Dan (and company)! I hope you enjoy your stay here. I promise we won't let our spikes get too close. Maybe.

That's alright! I'm the Wiki admin, and I didn't know a thing about Wikitext until taking the job upon myself. There are a few handy guides floating around; I'll have to track them down and post them on the Coppermind board. As for ways you can assist, we welcome everyone to come on in and help in whatever ways they like. We still have lots of articles that need to be written, and of course I'm all for vigilant members correcting spelling and/or grammar errors as soon as they're spotted. Anyways, welcome! I hope you enjoy it here!

I just signed up. KChan was taken, so I registered as HighprinceOfStuff. Feel free to invite me to a game!

Don't forget the old splash page that was up for a while! That one was fantabulously blue and geocities-y.

The term Shardholder has the most common use on our site, and in addition, Shardmind is also a D&D term, so that would get more confusing. Until Brandon gives us a canon term for the person/object who holds or is bound to a Shard, the wiki will use the term Shardholder.

Hello again, Sharders! It's that time again: time for a news post, that is! We have quite a bit going on, and I'm happy to bring you the latest goings-on from the staff. New Wiki Skin! First of all, some of you may have noticed that the Coppermind Wiki is looking a little different as of late. That's because it's been re-skinned. It's not horrifyingly blinding anymore; in fact, it's quite nice. Head on over and check it out! And maybe write up an article or two while you're there - I'll give you cookies if you do. New Staff Members! I am pleased to announce two very welcome additions to our legion of spiked minions very wonderful staff: @Chachel has joined the ranks of the illustrious Worldbringers, while @Mad_Scientist is our newest Ardent. Congratulations to the both of you, and happy staffing! Stay tuned for... Exciting updates to MBI, KChan's Secret Project, and more! We promise the ball will end. Soon. Very "soon".

So, here's a funny story. While looking for 17S on Google so I could +1 it, I noticed something strange about our site's search results. So, while Comatose will always be the face of the forum, I must congratulate Lordofsoup and Silus - Google has dubbed the two of you our google search mascots!

"Sayuri Tenaho?" Kiki asked, pulling out a gown of blue silk and beginning to rummage through her jewelry box. "I'm afraid not. Remember, I left home when I was sixteen, and even then I hadn't been in the Magisterium very long. She's from a different institution, and at that time, it was all I could do to to get to know the names of the members of my own." She began picking pieces out as she spoke, setting them out on her bed next to the gown. "It's curious, though, isn't it?" she asked. "A 'Distinguished Master' working as a common trader? Judging from her apparel, she isn't even that successful as a merchant - or her employer isn't. And you can't tell me someone who got to the rank of Master of Mathematics would have trouble with a little bookkeeping. It doesn't add up."

Hey, if they're smart, maybe that's what they'll brand the intro software/manual/documentation. That might make it more entertaining, right?

Happy birthday, Joe!

I just started reading Sam and Fuzzy (starting at the new "jumping on" point). It's highly enjoyable so far.

If you're awake, then you don't need the coffee, do you? I would like to announce that I am in Michigan! Whee!

Argh, what the heck? That sounds horrendous.

You monster! You ripped off Navi's wings!

Oh, right. Why on earth did I say Hero of Ages? You're right, it was Well of Ascension. I'm an idiot. Also, Silus, yes, there are oceans.
