I actually prefer the one that goes...
There are 3 types of people.
Those who can count and those who can't.

News:
Max is a Shadowblade, a supernatural--and supernaturally competent--warrior bound to protect her witch Giselle. As a Shadowblade, Max doesn't age. She is better, faster, stronger than any ordinary human being. And she hates it. Giselle betrayed her trust to make Max what she is, and though she is magically compelled to protect Giselle and follow orders, Max works against her witch in every way she can.

Remember, there are 10 kinds of people.
Those who know binary and those who don't.

I hate that everyone compares Windows to Apple. Apple is a computer company, meaning it controls the hardware. Windows is an operating system. It has to deal with 1000's (or more) of different hardware configurations.
My experiences with Leopard and Snow Leopard (The two latest Apple OS's) are worse than my experiences with Windows.

Reading Excuses / Re: Email List + Submission Dates
« on: March 01, 2010, 04:17:33 PM »
I believe I have joined the group/list by clicking Notify and have a very short prologue for a short story I would like to submit.
So I guess this is my post for the next available submission date/time.
But how do I know who to send an email?

I was going to ask the same question.
I am looking for someplace to post short stories, lead ins or whatever and get constructive feedback.
Thanks

New baby, 2 year old, three books, not to mention pr stuff (interviews, conventions, symposiums).
eating and sleeping are probably hard to do right now......
But just in case....Hi Brandon!

Are television shows fully written ahead of time?
If they are, then why did the writers strike a couple years ago bring so many shows to an immediate halt?

What will probably happen is the producers of Lost will claim the Mistborn movie stole from them. I think Tor should have it's lawyers give them a call.

I quit watching when the fat guy gained weight.
I would say its a good chance one or more of the writers could have been 'influenced' by the Mistborn trilogy.
Maybe they owe Brandon some royalties? But he would probably have a tough time proving it.

Brandon Sanderson / Re: Snapping, the Shaod, and Returning.
« on: February 19, 2010, 04:57:06 PM »
In response to TPaS. In my original 3 cents post, I stated...
" But hemalurgy could be considered a choice although it is usually made for the person instead of by the person."
What I meant is that most Allomancers who were spiked, didn't do it themselves.
In reponse to PoBabylon....
***SPOILER
The Returned just don't remember making the choice just as they don't remember their past lives.
Lightsong clearly remembered dying and making the decision to Return when he saw the possible future of a war and what it would do to those he loved. Although it is possible, implied even, that not all are given the option to Return but only those who died in a heroic, selfless fashion. This would make sense, otherwise all the selfish/evil people would most likely return.

I wanted to add my 3 cents....
As I understand it, becoming an Elantrian isn't a conscience decision, the Shaod just happens. But the other cultures tap into the Dor by choice either through a painful process or through dedication to a 'martial' art (for lack of a better analog).
Similarly, being an allomancer or feruchemist isn't a conscience decision either. But hemalurgy could be considered a choice although it is usually made for the person instead of by the person.
In WarBreaker, both Returned and Awakeners are what they are by their own choosing. It appears anyone can become an Awakener if they have the means of obtaining enough Breaths and then learning how to command.
