[QUOTE="Reynard, post: 9428623, member: 467"] I think this is exactly the kind of inside baseball stuff [USER=11760]@Whizbang Dustyboots[/USER] was talking about: you are writing ina way that other fans will understand, but is just going to be confusing to potential new readers. Whiz: Kaladin is one of the main characters in The Stormlight Archives, which takes place on a world called Roshar which is pretty unique in fantasy series (it isn't just a faux-medieval Europe or whatever). Kaladin discovers he has a powerful destiny while serving as a cannon fodder slave. Accepting that destiny and embracing his potential leads him to a much more important role. The broader story is about war between humans and another indigenous alien race, and there are anime power armor knights involved, along with other people like Kaladin that have inherent magic. And there's the most annoying character ever written, but that's neither here nor there. [/QUOTE]
