Revision as of 20:47, 18 April 2019
I started reading Brandon's works in 2015 and have been following the community on and off since then. Finally decided to start contributing here in 2019. I'm new to editing wikis, so I'm mostly going to be using this for figuring that out.
Current Projects
- Queen Tsa: Finished writing article; I have an ebook of Oathbringer coming in a few weeks, and I'll search that to make sure I'm not missing anything when it comes in.
- Gran-Gran (Becca Nightshade): Marked article as complete. I'd like feedback, since that's my first complete article.
- Ironsides (Admiral Judy Ivans): Just claimed. I'd like to get Gran-Gran marked as complete and get some feedback on that article before starting on this one, if possible.
- Cognitive Shadow: Noticed this on the urgent list and thought I'd put some work into it. Just wrote Examples section.
Ironsides Work
“I'm not sure I'd wish this command on [the pilots I used to fly with]. Not even the ones I hated. ”
Admiral Judy Ivans (Callsign: Ironsides) is the leader of the DDF.[2] She is a First Citizen, and fought in the Battle of Alta. She is notable for initially not allowing Spensa to train in the Battle School[citation needed]. She strongly believes that the brain condition that seems to cause Cytonic ability should prevent people from joining the DDF.[citation needed]
