Title: Vin Twittering
Post by: necronos on July 12, 2009, 11:48:46 PM

So I'm reading though Mistborn: The Final Empire and I noticed mention of Vin twittering (paperback page 321) and so I checked on twitter.com and couldn't find her twitter page. Can anyone point me towards it?!  ;D

Ok, lame joke... but if someone were to create and run a twitter feed in character as Vin then I'd definitely follow it.

I think I would be terrified.  I don't think it would translate very well.  But who knows.

You know, that makes me wonder what other characters would make great twitter feeds...

Lightsong, naturally.

Yes, definatly!  Although he isn't a EUOL char, I think a Draco twitter would be funny.

It is true, Lightsong would be better to follow than Vin, but I don't think Lightsong was ever mentioned to have been twittering. Maybe he just doesn't have internet access and a cell phone.

Vin, as an Allomancer, could just burn silicone to update her feed!

I would like a twitter account for Spook before he learned to talk right. But that's just my opinion

I propose a compromise: Lightsong speaking like spook! ;)

OH NO!!!  Could you imagine the insanity that he would come up with!?

I actually had the same thoughts when I read that part, too. But as for Lightsong twittering in the voice of Spook... isn't he too lazy for that?

Nah, he's just deluded himself into believing he's too lazy for that because he was so disillusioned by the decadence of all the other Returned. ;)

Now I'm depressed because I currently have no outlet for my Lightsong-Speaking-Like-Spook fantasies.
*sigh*

Oh, Natalie. You just gave me a BRILLIANT idea....

Mi'chelle--You know what we need to do in the story? Yeah. That's right. Lightsong speaking Easternese...Ah. I love it. What think you?

Heh. I'm glad that my flippant comment was so well-received. ;)

LoL!  Perfect.  NIghtblood, at least, would fit right in on the internet.  The occasional references to having "destroyed evil" (e.g. killed people) are just color.

I was also highly amused by the fact that it was always seeking approval for what it did. XD

Mmhmm. It was a bit like Luke and Han in the Falcon's gunnery stations.

Nightblood: "I got one!"
Vasher: "Great, kid. Don't get cocky."
