You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

[Shining Silhouette he/him]

You know you're a sanderfan when you have a dream Brandon Sanderson comes to your house and gives you a writing lesson and you watch movies together and analyse the plot structures and discuss the different ways character arcs could have been better

That's... the most beautiful dream I could ever imagine. That sounds amazing. Jealous.

When you exhale in the cold and when you see your breath, you think, "I'm Preservation!!" What a feeling, friends, what a feeling.

Guys. I’m not actually much of a gamer. But we just got a PS5 at our house and I couldn’t come up with a username for my account. After a few failed attempts I tried coming up with a Sanderson themed one and jokingly wrote one about our number one favorite worldhopper/wit/Worldsinger. It worked. How has no one used it before!? Ha ha.

YKYASW you are in a bookstore and some dude mutters about where the Brandon Sanderson books are and you do an internal happy dance and lead him straight to the correct shelves and have a little discussion with him. Turns out Brandon was recommended to him by a friend and he had read Skyward and was looking for Starsight.

So... I was at the bus station yesterday. There's a sign saying Customer Service Center. For a split second I read that as Cosmere Service Center and almost had a stroke.

No, but it was my first post. Lol.

Also: You know you’re a Sanderson fan when you train yourself to say “scud”, “storms”, and “rust and ruin” instead of swearing.

Hehe! I've done the first two.

[The cheeseman Don't you dare go Hollow!]

You know you're a Sanderfan when you don't have any more space on your bookshelf because the SA books are so big

I do this too!

I keep calling people "cousin" in my head.

I looked at the full moon and saw someone doing a kata instead of the (sideways) face of the man in the moon.

When you stub your toe, you say a mixture of:

”By preservation’s own wings! You storming cremling. Colors! Rust and Ruin!” And then everyone turns to look at you strangely.

[Edema Rue she/her]

When you see someone wearing a Sanderson related shirt but are too awkward to talk to them so you pretend to stub your toe and then yell "storm it" at the top of your lungs to get their attention.

[Wittles he/him]

when you see a bit of metal of an edible size and you realize you're more than a little tempted to eat it to see what would happen

[The Aspiring Archivist any pronouns]

When you were reading the Alcatraz books in middle school and intentionally dropped a pencil so you could say "Shattering glass!"

[The Paradoxical Phenomenon he/him]

When you start a trend on a nerdy fansite about the things you say when something happens.

What happened next?

[Edema Rue she/her]

He turned around. I gave the most awkward smile you can imagine. Actually, probably worse. He said, "Don't slip on the crem," and walked away. I haven't tried it again since.

Be assertive, and say 'You read Brandon Sanderson.'

No questions, just a statement, it puts you in charge of the conversation, and makes you seem more confident.

Why do I feel like there's a 50/50 chance they're actually on the Shard..

[Edema Rue she/her]

Gah that would be terrible!
