Kipper Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) I'm new. I'm here. I like stating the obvious and Brandon's books. I also really, really, like Mike 'n Ikes. I cried when I discovered that everyone got to pick a display name before I got here. I hope to post a lot and edit the wiki more. Be nice to me. Friend me. Give me status points. Mention my incisive commentary over and over again. Edited February 9, 2015 by Snoopy 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Elsa Steelheart Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Welcome to 17th shard! What Sanderson books have you read? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kipper Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 WoK, WoR, all Mistborn books, Warbreaker, Elantris, Steelheart, Mitosis. I'm a bit rusty on Elantris though. Firefight is on hold at the library, (curse those 200 other people who live where I am) but I'm mainly interested in the Cosmere. It just draws me somehow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawToast225 Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 It draws you because of the clever way they he reveals little bits of the back story! Do you have a favourite book by him? Or a favourite series? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kipper Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Definitely the Stormlight Archive. Though I just read Warbreaker again today, and I loved it. I read all his books first without realizing about the Cosmere. Then it hit me that Hoid was in two totally different (to me) series. One Google search...and down the Coppermind rabbit hole I went. Now I'm rereading everything for the umpteenth time, and consider myself to reasonably knowledgeable about the Cosmere. I've been a lurker here fore quite some time. What's your favorite story? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kipper Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Also, I have a question for you. How do you figure out what the various statuses are? e.g. darkeyes, misting, oldblood. Is there a list somewhere on the forums that I just can't find? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vineyarddawg Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Also, I have a question for you. How do you figure out what the various statuses are? e.g. darkeyes, misting, oldblood. Is there a list somewhere on the forums that I just can't find? Indeed there is... in this forum post. It's tied to the number of upvotes you get. As for favorite story, I'd have a hard time nailing down just one. I'd say probably settle on WoR as my favorite novel, and Defending Elysium as my favorite short story (even though it's non-Cosmere). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiver Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 There is a member named Lightsworn Panda, leading a Panda invasion in the Oregon forum, and an inexorable Panda just appears? Riiiiigggghhhttt... I'll be over here, waiting out the Pandapocalypse. ...Oh, and in the meantime, welcome to our new bamboo munching overlord. Really glad to hear someone else who has read and loves Warbreaker; that remains my favourite novel of Brandon's to date. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is also Stormlight! Dude, we should be friends For Quiver, I really liked Warbreaker! It's probably my third favourite world in the Cosmere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RawToast225 Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Oh yeah! It's the fake bamboo ones that the DA offers people that are the hemolergic fabrications. Sorry for slandering the good name of your bamboo cookies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
