One thing I got right was that the ability to pierce copper clouds was due to an allomancy/hemalurgy combination.  As soon as I found out that Vin's earring was made of bronze I was certain.    I'm not sure if I was the first to bring it up.  I was also so close on the mist sickness thing.  I thought they were people who didn't realize they were allomancers who could burn the mists.  It never occurred to me that they were actually Snapping.  Uggh!
I wanted to write something profound here, but I couldn't think of anything.

I would like to say that I was completely right about Sazed being the Hero of Ages, and that the hints that the Hero of Ages should be tall were both the original form of the prophecies and also completely true.  It was this that made me think of him as the HoA in the first book (during the post-WoA readthrough, of course).

I kinda feel like I should've put it together. After all, if Sazed is the Hero and Sazed wrote the bumps, and Sanderson said that whoever wrote the bumps was nearly omniscient, then logically the Hero becomes nearly omniscient!! From there its a short leap to saying the Hero takes Preservation/Ruin's powers, the only godlike, nearly omniscient characters we know of.
Surprising, yet inevitable...
