I've been a long-time Sanderson fan, but didn't know about this community until I went to a signing at my local bookstore and heard the guy in front of me ask Brandon some really interesting questions. After I collected my signatures and had a brief chat with Brandon, I tracked down the guy and asked him about his questions. He introduced me to some theories of the cosmere and mentioned this website. A few months later, while I was re-reading of TWOK in prep for book 2, I had some questions and my google-machine again directed me to 17th Shard. I figure that signs from the universe, just like jackalopes, always travel in pairs so I should take heed and spend some time on this site. There is some great stuff on here and I've enjoyed reading the forums, so I've decided to dive in and join.
