Hello everyone.
My name is Joe Trimarchi and I am one of the Admins over at Mistborn Empire. Thank you to those of you who have signed up!
Our site is, of course,
VERY new. We expect to have our growing pains, but we do welcome you all to post there, if you like. We have no intention of "stealing" folks away from here as this is OBVIOUSLY the place for long time Sanderson Fans. I myself just finished WoA last night. Simply a great read.
Yes, a lot of us are WoT fans, but that is to be expected, with his work on
A Memory of Light. Many of us were used to having a certain type of site and when we didn't find it, we simply made our own. We wanted a site that offered the things we were used to (RP, Book based communities, achievements for advancing, ETC). I don't see us actaully competing with this site as we are just simply a different type of site that attracts a certain type of person
A number of us (The Admins) took Brandon to dinner during DragonCon and we simply found him to be one of the most down to earth men we have ever met. I myself had the opportunity to have Brandon sign my Mistborn book with a saying that helps me create Fan Art.
I hope, going forward, that all of us can get together online and in forums and discuss HoA after its release.
