So, at work I was spelling out my company's name over the phone. (Hey, wait, the story gets interesting, I promise.) Anyhow, when I got to the letter "a" in "Pearson," instead of thinking "apple" I thought, "atium!" After laughing (silently) at myself for having mistborn-on-the-brain, I finished the call.
Then I figured what the heck--I'll make a Mistborn HOA alphabet. I tried to focus mostly on people, places, and things that factored most into HOA rather than the first two novels. Fun way to waste time, that's all I can say.
Now... I admit that I haven't re-read the book now that it's been pub'd. (I was privileged to read it in manuscript form as an "alpha reader"--or maybe I should say "atium reader"? ;) But I'm anxiously awaiting my signed copies. Yay!) My point is, if you know a better "fit" for some of these letters, go right ahead and post it.
******Caution: SPOILERS*****

Wow, that's really impressive. (And I know what you're saying about spelling out things. I had to do that for my last job, and everyone would tease me for some of the things I'd use.)
You should do "a like in atium" and see how may people react to it.
-
Nicely done Shrain :) That is totally awesome, and I agree with Rose, you should definitely do the "A as in atium" thing sometime and see who knows what the heck you mean ;)
-
I love it "G is for Goradel" ;D
-
You would... I bet you're biased. :P
-
what could have possibly given you that idea?

Thanks, guys. I feel especially cool now. 8) And I might just have to try out my new alphabet on someone... ;)
You would... I bet you're biased. :P
*snort* Yeah, at least slightly so.
-
I've been trying to find one for X but i still haven't...perhaps that was the only thing...
-
Yeah, nothing else came to mind. By the way, I think my favorite letter in this alphabet is "s". ;)

Bravo!

Should that get reposted in the fan art? :P
-
definitely should be posted in the fan art...

ROTFL. Mellington, that is hillarious.

The above is what happens when my roomie and I read things out of the corners of our eyes while listening to television in the background.

Indeed. Then you and your roomie should read stuff and listen to TV in the background more often. ;)
