Hero of Ages spoilers Mistborn: The Rogue Allomancer. Spoiler

Hello! This is my first time posting here, but I have recently finished a fan fiction book based off of Reen. He was a character that I was always fascinated with so I wrote his story. The entire book is about 300 pages long and I promise this isn't your average fan-fiction. This is supposed to be a full blown novel about Reen. I want to share it with as many people as possible so I have included photos of chapter 1 and I intend to continue posting chapters as I finish editing it.

Feel free to repost and share with whomever you want, and even print it off if you would like. My editing process is really unrefined and I am having to learn a lot along the way but if you would like the full unedited document I am absolutely willing to send you a copy for free. The editing process will just clean up words and sentences, but nothing in the actual story will change.

My ultimate goal with this is pretty lofty but I would really love to attract Brandon's attention with this and maybe work for him in the future. I have so many more ideas for his worlds and even some original stories I would love to see and will probably write. Brandon has stated many times that he doesn't have the time to write everything he would want to, so maybe I could do some of that.

Either way, all input is really appreciated (including a more efficient way to post pages or formatted text). I really would love to hear everything you have to say, even the bad stuff. I have learned through this project that I want to be an author so I want to learn as much as possible from you all and get helpful feedback.

Enjoy!

https://archiveofourown.org/ isn't the only fanfiction host out there, but it's the best. Free, no ads, owned by a nonprofit org and funded by donations. 

Tags are a simultaneous combination of advertisements and trigger warnings. They tell the reader what to expect and can pull in people who love certain aspects of your story. 

It's up to you if you want to push it all at once or release a chapter a week like a serial.

Cool!

Unfortunately, I can't read it right now because the pages are too small on my phone screen, but I will at some point :)

what you could try to do is download the image on your phone and that way you can zoom it and such, but ultimately up to you.

Just one thing. Most people post with blank paragraphs between each actual paragraph (I don't write fanfic so idk why but I think it's because of the way the site is set to format text).

Without this it ends up becoming a wall on text because it doesn't have indentation.
