This isn't even as embarrassing as the time in 7th grade when people heard me talking about Brandon's books and just assumed that I had a crush on this guy named Brandon Sanderson because I said his name a lot when I was explaining the plot of Mistborn to someone who asked what it was about. I'm so sorry. When people see you reading a WoT book, (tGH) and automatically assume it's by Sanderson. And then you have to say, "No, it's not. He wrote the last three books in the series. There's fourteen books, and this is only the second." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebecca Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 (edited) So today, my friend picked up my copy of Oathbringer as I was reading it, and started reading it aloud, and she kept saying everything wrong especially the names. And when I would correct her, she’d say “whatever” then keep saying it as she had said it before. Like, she kept calling Adrotagia Agitation. It was kind of annoying, but I wasn’t mad or anything. But then she messed up Kaladin’s name. I corrected her, and she reacted as she had before. I took the book and said, “Kaladin is my favorite character, so say his name right, or I take my book back.” She said his name right after that.

Penumbra Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 When you talk with your non-cosmere-reading friend about being inconsistent in your quality of art and you write "haha yeah my art is going full taravangian on me." Would've made sense if she had any idea who taravangian is i guess. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calderis Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 When a nearly 70 year old man you work with starts reading Mistborn because of you talking about it (I did not know this til today), and then asks if there are more, and you get to explain the premise of AoL, and he excitedly tells you he's going to pick it up on his way home. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistspren Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 When you finally convince your mom to read Mistborn and she randomly sends you a text saying: “Kelsier gave Spook pewter?????!?????” Also whenever someone says the word Honor, getting a compulsion to say “Honor is dead.” 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flying_shadow Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 When you want to contribute to the amateur translation of OB into your native language.

When your teacher asks a question and you feel the urge to scream, "RAFO!" When you know that ONE DAY, one of the strangers you say "I am a stick" to in the hallways will say "But you could be fire" back. When your friend writes a Mistborn fanfiction, and you leave so many comments the page count doubles. Possibly more than doubles. I have a thing about editing. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were walking through her neighborhood one day, and we had been messing around in a tree that is in a park. (It involved her saying, "Kal, to the East!" and I thought she had said, "Kally East!") Then we walked across the street, and someone almost ran us over. When we cwerre on the side walk, she said, " That was my science teacher!" I still bring it up in normal conversation. Except... None of our conversations are normal. We can burst out laughing if we see a stack of plates. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Slowswift Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 When you get excited whenever people buy Sanderson books and you chat about how great he is, either to convert them or just to geek out with them, while you're ringing up their stuff (for context, I am a cashier at a thrift store). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truthweaver Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 When you're asked to bring your favorite book to a meeting with your library staff co-workers, and you know undoubtedly that yours will be the biggest one there. When the meeting facilitator tells you to explain to a partner why that book is your favorite in three minutes, and you think, I have three minutes to make this person a Sanderfan. When the person who processes purchased library books calls you out on how many Sanderson books you've ordered for the library. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really confused as to why they were talking about angerspren rather than lifespren, and how Earth biologists knew about it at all.

The Gecko Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 You know you're a sanderfan when the three genie wishes you have decided upon are as follows: I wish all of Brandon Sandersons magic systems were real I wish I had access to all of Brandon Sanderson's magic systems And I wish I had infinite fuel for all of Brandon Sanderson's magic systems Also, you know you're a sanderfan when you visit the library, and after checking the two places with Sanderson books, you sit down next to the bookshelf and start reading SH in their brand new copy of AU. Even though you have the book at home. And on kindle... In your pocket. True story 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
