Kered he/him Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) Hello all, my name is Derek. I've been reading avidly since my last year of high school, but I didn't find my passion for fantasy until a couple years ago. And it wasn't until last year when I finished the last Kingkiller book that I found out about Brandon. Since then I've read the wheel of time, as well as most of the cosmere novels. Actually as I type this, I'm finishing my last one, Warbreaker. Always after I finish a fantasy book, especially one of Brandon's, I can't seem to find someone to discuss my crazy ideas/theories with the passion I want. So imagine my surprise when I found out about 17th shard. Beyond excited. So thanks for bein the awesome dudes you are and making this forum awesome for a newcomer such as myself. Looking forward to having awesome conversations and discussions with you guys Cheers Edited October 26, 2016 by KereDerek 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the Shard! We'll try to be as much of "awesome dudes" as you expect us to be, but usually we end up talking about baking... or politics... or each other's day to day lives. Oh, hey, speaking of baking, if you are offered any kind of food or drink, do not accept. Please. For your own good. Anyway, we're glad to have you! If you ever need anything, feel free to let me know! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tariniel he/him Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 I remember having that same feeling @KereDerek! Just wait until you delve into some of the theories we have here... Oh!
