So I put mine up as a blog post. Which I will link to here. Critique appreciated, but not necessary. I'm mainly shooting for getting on WE. *crosses fingers*
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.

Brandon Sanderson / Re: favorite sanderson book?

Mistborn was the first one I read and my absolute favorite. The magic is just so...it's basically straight endorphins for the OCD part of my brain.

Brandon Sanderson / Re: Spren and the Almighty (SPOILERS-for Mistborn too)

Well, we know that she was alive at the time that the Almighty recorded his vision message. "Cultivation, she is better than I."
I'd say she's alive now, I mean, without a Shard to stand against Odium, he could just wreck everything. Like what happened with Ruin and Prerservation, it was only Preservation's influence that kept Ruin from destroying everything.

Brandon Sanderson / Re: Inside Cover Artwork in WoK

This is all really good. Something that should be pointed out, however, is that the two center glyphs on the Shadesmar side are not connected to any of the small glyphs like their counterparts on the opposite side.

So basically everything important from Mythwalker has been ripped out and put in other books? Did he finish it?

In the Warbreaker annotations, Brandon says that Mythwalker was him writing a typical fantasy story after being really bummed about not being able to sell any of his books. It's where Vivenna and Siri started out as a character concept.
EDIT: He hasn't written the WoK annotations? Dangit. Does he ever intend to actually publish Mythwalker? I doubt it, but I'd be uncomfortable with reading it if he ever decided to publish it. Is it a Cosmere book?

I'm pretty sure there were highstorms, just not as powerful as in the present.

If you had the capability to cause a massacre without a Shardblade, I hardly think you'd need one.

They've only been gathering gemhearts for a half dozen years now, and they've been working with fabrials for hundreds of years. The thing that makes gemhearts special is that they're huge.

I very much doubt it. It simply seems that he is experiencing a simulation created by the Almighty. If he were to actually be changing things, the implications would be much larger, the changes much bigger, than what we've seen.

Brandon Sanderson / Re: Who has read The Way of Kings (minor spoilers)
« on: October 07, 2010, 11:29:39 PM »Gavilar was learning to read, wasn't he?I don't think so. When Szeth wrote Gavilar's last words next to him everyone assumed that Gavilar had done it himself. This led people to think he could read and write. Even though he probably couldn't.

Wait, I thought it was just the gems used in fabrials. I doubt that it's ALL gems that you put Stormlight in.

« on: October 07, 2010, 05:33:34 AM »Or maybe they have acidic saliva that makes it easier to dig. Watch out for those acidspren though.I don't think burrowing into solid rock is gonna work very well.
How about soulcasting owls. They have a limited power to soulcast stone in order to burrow, granted to them by a shard. Nothing powerful or useful except in order to dig through stone.
