Mine has wavy pages. It's from the ones from Sam Weller's.

Brandon Sanderson / Re: *WoK Spoilers* The Almighty?

Sel is mentioned in annotation, as well as interviews.

Chapter eleven's epigraph states:

"Three of sixteen ruled, but now the Broken One reigns."

When you think about there being three Shards on Roshar, this essentially confirms the matter.

I don't for a second believe that the parshmen are the Voidbringers, not completely in any sense. I think there's much more to this that we can't possibly know yet.

Way back when, I believe Brandon called Shadesmar the Cognitive Realm. Feel free to call [citation needed] on me, though. It certainly has some interesting implications.

But yeah, other than that, I have no idea.

In the interview 17th Shard did with Brandon (which is going to be up soon, I swear) I directly asked him if Cultivation was a Shard on Roshar. It is.

Also, in a different time, he told us there are three Shards on Roshar. I'm not sure I'm supposed to reveal that, but come on. It's pretty obvious from the "3 of 16" thing that there are sixteen Shards total, and three on Roshar.

Excellent advice all around. Thanks for posting!

Brandon Sanderson / Re: New metal idea
« on: August 25, 2010, 07:44:11 AM »
It should be noted that the Table of Allomantic Metals is an in-world creation. They don't have a lot of lerasium to exactly experiment with it.

The other 17th Shard people and I just interviewed Brandon today, and while we don't have the transcript or the audio edited yet, I can tell you that there seems to be many more than just sixteen alloys of each god metal. There's a finite amount, but there seems to be a lot of them. He wouldn't elaborate on what they'd do. But, in my opinion, I certainly couldn't say that such metals could not explicitly exist.

Also, in Brandon's words, "You can do a lot of cool things with lerasium..."

It's not so much the hurricanes as the humidity.

Well, I have never liked the East Coast, so definitely I'd go west. And north, too, because I love the Pacific Northwest.

The capital D in Delving irritated me to no end, because I don't really see the necessity for it. Just saying. ;)

For disagreement's sake, I quite like the capitalization notation, because it signals to me this is more magic than necessarily technology. I'm a big fan of capitalizing the name of magic systems :P

(Whether or not its magic or technological in this universe, it functions like magic, so sue me!)

What, don't you remember my tyrannical tendencies :P

Ahem.

I don't know, it made sense to me. You're welcome to disagree, haha.

Warbreaker simply felt progressive because its environment had things like restaurants, which give a feel of modernity.

It's not capitalized in Way of Kings, so that's why I keep it not capitalized (the same reason atium, metals, and verbs like "charge" I don't capitalize) but unless that specific typographical choice has changed recently...

It's linked to Elantris, Warbreaker, and Way of Kings (as well other unpublished novels). Alcatraz is not a part of the cosmere. As a guideline for the moment, if it's Brandon's adult fantasy, it's in the cosmere.

Movies and TV / Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

I just got out of the theater and absolutely loved this movie. It's supremely satisfying (yes, these adverbs are necessary :P).

Go see it. Go see it now. If you love the very first frame (which was brilliant), you will love this movie totally and completely.
