My friend flipped when the first ever acknowledgement of Mistborn outside it's own books was Kelsier as a guest character in Fortnite. It was like targeted harassment. I like Mistborn too but it didn't bother me.

Journey before Destination

Strength before Weakness.

I before E.

Except...

... all those other words that don't follow the rule.

Weird that such an ancient rule, purported to be efficient and sufficient, should seize one's conscience and dash them from the sovereign heights of their ideas, making them forfeit any claims to proper spelling.

I await your reply at your leisure.

I just finished the 200 hours of audiobooks because my wife got me into it. Now I’m just sitting here patiently for my next dose from the remaining 300

This comment chain caused me to start reading Elantris

I'm gonna read all of the Cosmere in publication order (I've only read Stormlight Archive so far)

Oh boy. I made the jump from SLA to (kinda) publication order. Going from his most intricate series to his first published book was almost jarring. I still liked Elantris though.

Personally, I read through close to publication order, but grouped series together. Well, I guess it's really just Mistborn and maybe Emperor's Soul with Elantris, but those last ones aren't actually in the same set, just the same planet.

Holy shit I think I blocked this one from my memory. Seriously, now big could the overlap between mistborn fans and fortnite players possibly be?

It's because the author is friends with one of the lead guys over at Epic in charge of the game. They cycle through so many characters that they just start asking their friends for ideas I guess.
