A Secret Corner

In order to make a less chaotic chaos than previous chaos, introducing, chaotic chaos! Hm... Should've called your post The Original Teemo: Out of the Shadows. It would probably make a far better movie(thread) than sponge out of water *sighs*... anyways as my duty, have a complimentary cookie and upvote (note: cookie goes best with upvote, even more so than milk... or blood...) (DISCLAIMER: THE DARK ALLEY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY SOUL DAMAGE THAT MAY OCCUR. COOKIES MAY CONTAIN PEWTER, STEEL, IRON, OR BRONZE. NO NON-HUMANS WERE HARMED IN THE CREATION OF THESE COOKIES.) Oh and I generally am here to offer cookies, but this post was posted here far after I check the shard. I generally get around to doing it though.

You mean I get extra experiment? I rarely get the chance to experiment with such drained investiture entities... now if I could only get a hand on nightblood and some shades for some experimentation on corruption of investiture...

Legion was... interesting... but I would probably get Arcanum Unbounded and Alcatraz first.

I'd be happy to expound to you all about cookies *takes you by the shoulder* in fact I have some in this Dark Alley ready for you! There are also some people in here somewhere who have cake...

Rithmatist was really good... when at school I have some very similar problems.... very interesting magic to, makes me sad its non Cosmere... Rithmatist? Forgotten? wow... If you like it, head over to the Rithmatist section in the non-Cosmere forums.... watch out though, hardcore geometry ahead (seriously, I've taken geometry and I have trouble understanding the theories over there... well it has been a while since geometry... Anyways welcome to the 17th Shard, I'm late as usual. My only book recommendations would be for you to read everything of Brandon's that you haven't so far. I think that would amount to Alcatraz (I'll just say this is... interesting...) and all of his short stories. Some of Brandon's short short stories are available on his website, and many that aren't are available in Arcanum Unbounded. And as my usual courtesy, have some complimentary upvotes and cookie! Wow... I though I posted this about 16 hr. earlier, but apparently not. How curious...

Answer: Do like a poor dark eyed farmer, and use a super valuable painting instead. Problem: Trouble focusing

Wait a second, wasn't Edgedancer's word count 60,000? I remember it being 60,000.

*evil cackle* A coinshot army? Are you serious? Do you think you can send so common an army against me in a Dark Alley, and expect a victory? I could take that army down myself, without regard to the others in the Dark Alley, or our Hemalurgic constructs culinary experiments,allies, or the nature of Alleys? And wait, a coinshot army? An army of magic users? Thanks for sending me some chocolate chips my way, this will be a Hemalurgic research blood fest explosion of culinary awesomeness!

With the amount of damage I've experienced during my Hemalurgic experimentation baking, there's not much you can do. That was just a feint. I'm currently doing a 1/2 basic lashing upward to keep me at a certain point in the cold night air inside a Dark Alley, waiting and watching. Don't ask how I can lash.

Um... I'm just going to ignore everything that doesn't make sense about that... and run away...

High School. The Shard is obviously weird, strange, and many other things. If there's one thing that it is not however, that would be annoying.

Perhaps, but for me its rather annoying.

Fixed. Or well at least Wayne was moving on to be precise. The reason I mentioned him was that he was moving on faster than the train that they were riding at the time was, if you know what I mean. With Adolin as he stands now, well I guess this jibe is not currently applicable, but previously, well running at full speed doesn't begin to describe it.

Hmm... you found Brandon through WoT, well that certainly was a series to read, if a bit stuffy in size... So you have only read Mistborn and Alcatraz? Some good stuff, but even if you want to save reading Stormlight for when Oathbringer gets released, Brandon has also written the Reckoner's trilogy (YA), the Rithmatist (also YA), Warbreaker Cosmere), Elantris (cosmere), and Arcanum Unbounded (collection of short stories and novellas in the cosmere). If you want more of Brandon Sanderson, read those. In keeping with my standard hospitality, have a complimentary cookie and upvote!

I will teach you the ways of the Shard, young Padawan. Step One: realize that all of us here are weird, Awkward (with a capital A), and generally strange. Step the Second: Theorize Step: 3: the awakening: please avoid s p a m m i n g as we dislike that. Step the fourth wall break: *Stares at audience, silently* You get a cookie! For @bleeder, spoilered because post is long enough already

Hm... Okay! You will probably start hearing voices in a few days, but don't worry. This is completely natural! With this particular cookie, you should be experiencing occasional feelings of your strength gained. If you do, see if you are touching any metal, if you are search that metal with your mind, and you should find strength within it. Your welcome!

Oh, hi @Madmoody, I'd be glad to tell you all about it. Did you know that we've also developed chocolate croissants and cake, we have some in this Dark Alley on our left in fact... Must come into the Dark Alley to read this ^

Hello and welcome to the Shard! I'm glad to hear you've enjoyed Brandon's work for so long, (his world building is at an insane level isn't it? ). Just curious, I'd like to know what of Brandon's work you have read. If you haven't read it all, do so. I look forward to seeing your weird ideas, as that seems rather nice after all the insane ideas on here. Hopefully though, you don't forget about this place for five years, as that would be a tragedy because of the awesomeness of this site. As a side note, and one of my grand traditions, I offer you a complimentary and upvote (note: cookie goes best with upvote! (DISCLAIMER: THE DARK ALLEY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY SOUL DAMAGE THAT MAY OCCUR. COOKIES MAY CONTAIN PEWTER, STEEL, IRON, OR BRONZE. NO NON-HUMANS WERE HARMED IN THE CREATION OF THESE COOKIES.)

@Turos I SWEAR RECKONERS IS NOT COSMERE! HOW MANY TIMES DOES THIS HAVE TO BE EXPLAINED! IT HAS BEEN EXPLICITLY STATED MULTIPLE TIMES! WHY DOES THIS STILL HAVE TO BE EXPLAINED! (HAVE I USED CAPS LOCK LONG ENOUGH?)

After that @dorkspren, I'd read Elantris, Warbreaker, and the Arcanum Unbounded. In order for you to have some extra energy to get through this reading, @dorkspren have some complimentary cookies and upvotes! (DISCLAIMER: THE DARK ALLEY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY SOUL DAMAGE THAT MAY OCCUR. COOKIES MAY CONTAIN PEWTER, STEEL, IRON, OR BRONZE. NO NON-HUMANS WERE HARMED IN THE CREATION OF THESE COOKIES.)

Hmm... I'm getting a similar problem too... Does anyone know what's going on?

Oh and @"Kale"adin, I forgot to mention that I have a very nice cookie for you! (DISCLAIMER: THE DARK ALLEY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY SOUL DAMAGE THAT MAY OCCUR. COOKIES MAY CONTAIN PEWTER, STEEL, IRON, OR BRONZE. NO NON-HUMANS WERE HARMED IN THE CREATION OF THESE COOKIES.)
