I'm actually not sure we have any information on this. A feruchemist sort of requires a metalmind, and I am not entirely sure they can substitute other Investiture as a metalmind or not. This is a really interesting question and perhaps it should be brought up to Brandon at the next spoiler stream or livestream Q&A.

The subreddit mods for r/cremposting have already created [email protected] as well. That's an official refuge for the subreddit refugees. We also have a cremposting community here at SFFA.

 

I'm on book 5 of Mage Errant by John Beirce. Came across it on Kindle Unlimited and it's been pretty fun. Short reads, progression fantasy mildly YA, but I'm enjoying them.

What are y'all reading?

I didn't hate the relationship, I found it interesting and it was kinda neat seeing it from Jasnah's side and her reasonings and such. I'm sad for her that it's not going to work out, but like... it was never going to work out. Hoid has too much going on to settle down in a realistic way with another person.

And yeah the memory confirmation was great. Hoid being terrified is GREAT tension in the scene and for the book.

Yeah, getting that confirmation was really nice. It's terrifying me though to see

SA5 previewhow terrified Hoid is. Like, he's running scared and THAT scares me. It was also nice seeing Jasnah and how she genuinely wants a relationship with him, but it was bittersweet seeing her realize it's just not going to happen how she would want it to.

 

PoV characterit's a Jasnah/Wit segment

 

What are some good titles and reqs for queer fantasy reading? Let's make a list for anyone who might be searching!

Personally I always recommend Lynn Flewelling's Nightrunner series (it starts with Luck in the Shadows). One of my favorite fantasy series.

I'm an admin from https://sffa.community

We did notice a large amount of bot sign-ups early on. We already ha email verification on and they never made it past that stage.

We have since turned on CAPTCHA and now they aren't signing up any longer.

We've purged the bot accounts from our database.

We are working on generating organic content but we've only been open for a couple weeks so I just ask that other instances bear with us. We've a very niche community of sci-fi and fantasy geeks. We'd love to be federated again.

Mine stealth-updated the delivery date from today until Monday. So I guess I wait longer haha

On our instance we have [email protected] and [email protected] along with some other niche ones. Still working on generating content since we're so new.

Our entire instance is dedicated to Sci-Fi and Fantasy media.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Have you gotten yours yet? Mine is saying it should arrive today but I'm pressing X to doubt based on shipping updates lol

 

Right now I am on Murderbot Diaries book 5. So good. Martha Wells really captures anxiety and depression from an internal standpoint well without it being overbearing. The character growth of the main character over the series has been lovely to read. (ok so I'm reading Sci-Fi....)

welcome Xavier, nice to see you made it :)

I have no idea what the size would be, I will need to research that just so they fit a little better and don't look cut off.

Welcome to /c/cosmere! (sffa.community)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Please note: Lemmy is still alpha technology and is under current development

Welcome to Lemmy!

We have two communities for Sanderson on Lemmy: /c/cosmere and /c/brandonsanderson. /c/cosmere will be for cosmere books discussion, /c/brandonsanderson will be for more general purpose Sanderson discussion. You can also check out related science fiction/fantasy communities in partnership with SFFA (science fiction fantasy alliance) by clicking the Communities button in the top left.

Lemmy mostly works like reddit. Here are a few key differences to be aware of.

Spoiler tagging in posts/comments

Spoiler markup on Lemmy works like this:

::: spoiler Book Name/Spoiler Scope

text here

:::

That becomes the following, with the spoiled text collapsed, and the book name displayed to warn people what it’s a spoiler for.

Book Name/Spoiler Scopetext here

This is important to note because all spoilery posts and comments must be under spoiler formatting until we have spoiler toggle ability to blur posts.

Making an account

You can browse the communities without an account, however, if you want to post/comment, you will have to create your account, then verify the email of that account, before you can log into it. Please be aware that the verification email often goes to the spam/junk folder so you may need to check there for it. Please also be aware that the site does not notify you that it has sent the email and that you may see an endlessly spinning loading icon — in that case, you should assume the mail was sent and check for it. This email verification issue has been addressed by our dev team and hopefully it resolves within the next 48 hours (it is currently July 4, Xpm PST). We are monitoring this issue closely.

Tagging posts

Our devs are still working on post flairs, so for now we ask that all posters include a tag in their post title indicating the spoiler scope. It’s as simple as adding [Book Name] to the beginning of your post title. For example:

[Mistborn: TFE] So how about that one fight [Oathbringer] What do you think about that Sanderlanche? [Warbreaker Ch 4] Can someone help me understand___? [No Spoilers] Latest progress update

Removed Posts

Currently, when a post is removed, it will no longer show up in your profile. We will copy the link to the post and send it to you with a message of what needs to be edited/changed. If the issue is something you can correct, make the change and then respond to our message and include your post link, and we can restore it.

Note that, unlike Reddit, post titles and links can be edited after posting!

Removed Comments

Currently, when a comment is removed, Lemmy will delete its contents (rather than simply marking the comment not displayable). As a result, when we remove comments for spoilers, we will copy the content of the comment into our message to you, along with a link to the comment. You can follow the link, make any necessary changes (note your changes will not display after you save), and then message us back (with a link to the comment) and we will restore it.

Mobile Apps

There are a number of third-party mobile apps available for Lemmy, including Jerboa (Android) (Currently not compatible with our instance due to version changes), Liftoff (iOS & Android), Connect (Android), Memmy (iOS) and more.

Please be aware that spoiler formatting DOES NOT WORK on mobile apps at this time. Mobile apps are all in alpha and beta stages and currently do not support the spoiler markdown. Use mobile apps at your own risk. The mobile website is functional and we recommend using that if spoilers are a concern.

If you have any questions or concerns feel free to comment below or post for help over at SFFA Meta.

 

Who's excited??? I know personally I am waiting for my physical copy before reading it, and avoiding spoilers is going to be really difficult.
