Tesh Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) When you want to do a book report on WoK. Or pretty much any Sanderson book. But preferably WoK. Or when you call your shelf with just Sanderson books on it your Sandershelf. @Taliax Or if they started a conversation about the Book of Mormon, then slowly slips into a conversation about the Wheel of Time and Sanderson. Whenever @That Storming Darkeyes and I get together, that's how are conversations go. Sort of. We start with Sanderson, slip into something else, then width five minutes, back on Sanderson.

Tried giving my brother WoK and a coworker Final Empire. All it got me was needing a new copy of Final Empire cause my coworker quit and disappeared before giving it back. I like to think that the Steel Inquisition got her. Way better than the idea that she just stopped showing up on a holiday weekend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only just introduced my friend to Brandon Sanderson. She has read most Alcatraz, is now reading Elantris and is taking FOREVER about it. The only other irl people are my sibs who are too busy to read any more or fandom with me. Edited July 27, 2017 by Sami 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesh Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) When in Sunday school you are asked to draw ox and you try to draw chull, and the only other Sanderfan in the room starts cracking up. (But that might have been because they looked so bad). Or you find a piece of gray fabric and start plotting... The end result are two passable Mistcloaks. One for me, and one for my stuffed platypus. Edited July 27, 2017 by Tesh 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they are good reads for anybody over the age of 15. The fact that my library promotes these books and ignores Brandon disappoints me though Well, I was 8 when I read them, sooooooo, and I was 12 when I discovered Sanderson.... (People are shocked when they find out I was reading young adult in 3rd grade. And adult when I was 12). Where did I go wrong in my life? Also, I think this may be a double post, but I couldn't figure out how to put the quote in my other one...

One for me, and one for my stuffed platypus. I'm fairly determined to do this for Halloween/Salt Lake ComiCon this year, only sans platypus. I have the look to go as Vin if it weren't for two problems: 1. I need black hair dye and 2. I don't have my ears pierced. On that note, when you consider getting your ears pierced just for a Vin cosplay. XD 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesh Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 When you realize you NEED to convert your accelerated math teacher to the worlds of Brandon Sanderson. Or you start actually calling your friend Celia. (See 'Do you have a random person in the Cosmere who you turn into when you are bored' in creator's corner). Or when you start thinking of your younger brother as Tien. Or when you want to be your extream Sanderfan part of your brain for Halloween. (Mistcloak, bag of books, homemade SA t shirt, slave brands on a baseball hat, stuff like that). Or Tesh, (Again see 'DYHARPITCWYTIWYAB'). Or Shallan. Or when you think of your blue parakeet as an exotic blue chicken from Shinnovar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so confused in the opposite way when I first came on the Shard and didn't know all the Era 2 book names yet, I was like "Huh? I know Brandon's Mormon, but why is everyone referencing the Book of Mormon on here?" xP (Also, on an unrelated note, I like your signature (: ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
