You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

[Observer]

When the solution to being unable to fly in Lucid Dreams is to ingest Steel.

[Starspren]

When someone makes a joke about foretelling the future and all you can think is: foretelling the future is not of honor!

 

When you freak out when you realize that "storm out" really exists in English!

[Roarsach]

When you wake up screaming at night yelling you dont want to take another bridgerun! (true story)

[Argent he/him]

When you wake up screaming at night yelling you dont want to take another bridgerun! (true story)

 

Yea, you are pretty broken. Primed for a Nahel bond though.

[Delightful]

When a woman says "I don't like to repeat myself" and your first thought is of Jasnah in Kharbranth.

[Observer]

When you see basically every plottwist in every other fantasy book coming, and actually miss a few because you're used to crazy subversions.

[Baine he/him]

When you wake up screaming at night yelling you dont want to take another bridgerun! (true story)

 

Unfortunately, you're a bridgman now!

 

Pleasant dreams.....

[bookspren]

When you see someone setting out copies of WoR in the store and get really excited. Even though you already own it.  

[king of nowhere]

When you see someone setting out copies of WoR in the store and get really excited. Even though you already own it.  

when every time you pass in front of your bookstore you enter to see if they have words of radiance, even though you already ordered it. just to feel it in your hand, and revel in the knowledge that you could buy it right now instead of waiting.

when, not seeing it, you want to take a picture and post it in this forum complaining about the big words-of-radiance-shaped hole right there where words of radiance was supposed to be.

and when, noticing they don't actually have any sanderson's book (except the wot ones) you think about setting up an angry mob and storming it with torches and pitchforks and forking torches and flaming pitchforks (and even flaming pitchforks with forking torches strapped on the other side of the handle to use as double weapon), but you are put back because they have two full shelves of pterry books. Not because having two shelves of pterry books redeem them from not having sanderson, but because they keep the pterries as human libram shields and you need to find a way to free the hostages first.

[Observer]

When you look back on the days when you thought Harry Potter books were big with amusement, and laugh in the face of anybody who thinks 400 pages is long.

[Delightful]

When you look at the side of a folder and read 'ring-binder' as Surgebinder, before realising that the two actually look nothing alike.

[Gabriele she/her]

When you watch "Frozen" and your first thought during "Let it Go" is "Hmm, now I want to develop a story with ice magic..." and before you know it it's spun off into multiple magic systems based around temperature...

 

Or when you write a fight scene with magically enhanced / cursed swords and wonder if that's too close to shardblades and Nightblood.

When you've almost brought up realmatics at Church...

[Kobold King he/him]

When you've almost brought up realmatics at Church...

 

Or forgetting yourself after reading Warbreaker and thinking the local pastor is your servant. You know, theoretically...

[Observer]

When you expect somebody else's deity to kill themselves one day so their followers have to move on.

I'm actually talking about a friend's mock religion of one, not any actual large one, oh ye people who take offense at my terrible sense of humor.

[GreyPilgrim he/him]

When you join a forum devoted to discussing him and his works, posting in a thread about when you know you are a fan of his...

[Delightful]

When your phone autocorrects to Cosmere vocab.

[GreyPilgrim he/him]

When your phone autocorrects to Cosmere vocab.

 

When you immediately upon reading this think of all the cosmere words your own phone autocorrects.

[Kobold King he/him]

When you immediately upon reading this think of all the cosmere words your own phone autocorrects.

When you don't need the autocorrect because you know precisely how to spell "Taravangian" phonetically.

Woah! Up-vote for meta!

[Awesomeness Summoned he/him]

When someone in real life says something particularly witty or insightful and you instinctively look for the upvote button

[GreyPilgrim he/him]

Or when this happens and you think of what Brandon character could have said it. And also when you want to downvote someone in real life for being a jerk. (Of course this never actually happens here. I may have given two or three down votes my entire time here.)

That's because no true Sanderfans are jerks. Except maybe that Kurkistan fellow. He can be a real rotspren sometimes.

That's what's so nice about 17th Shard! Many online communities are rife with rotspren.

And also, you know you're a Sanderfan when you laugh when someone (also a user on a site devoted to him, posting in a thread about when you know you are a fan of his) refers to someone as a rotspren and you laugh.

More of a know-it-all than a rotspren, really.

 

Rest assured, Kurk, we love you even so!
