And now, I join the fray.
For theory cred, I am the first one on the forum to discover Ruin's name. I posted that Ruin & Preservation topic way back when, before Mistborn 3. Before that, they called Ruin "The Evil Well Spirit of Doom". To be fair, in my original theory-ness, I called it the "Ruin Entity", which Peter helpfully corrected to simply "Ruin". You're welcome.
I've created the MB3 Countdown thread, where a good many things were guessed in those final days. In fact, I guessed that Ruin was after the atium.
My final Hero of Ages theories was the most massive of all the forums. It's somewhere around 8,000 words long. I'm harder-core when it comes to delving into Brandon's work than any of y'all
When I first read Hero of Ages, I took notes as I pieced things together. That document, in itself, is quite long.
Speaking of Hero of Ages, I own three hardcovers of the novel.
As for book-ownership goes, I have a signed hardback of Elantris, a signed paperback of Elantris, signed hardback of Mistborn, Well of Ascension, a signed numbered Hero of Ages, and Warbreaker. This christmas I got two box sets of the Mistborn trilogy. I also have another hardback of Well of Ascension. When the MB1 paperback was $5 I bought seven of them, giving rise to...
I've lent all of these MB1 books out to people. In fact, in my Honors Seminar, Texts & Critics, we had a day where we could bring in a book to share with people. I brought that stack of seven Mistborn's and lent them out there
I also own three Aon pendants.
All that stuff can be topped (Miyabi probably has, already). But.
But. I have the #1 Table of Allomantic metals, which is now sitting on a wonderful frame above my computer. It is very pretty.
