AerionBFII he/him Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 You know your a Sanderson fan when your spell check changes your words to cosmere words 6
Delightful Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 You know you're a Sanderfan when you want to put your rep count on your resume to impress potential employers. And Go-go would be an Edgedancer. And Baymax would be a Horneater Windrunner. Either that or Hiro makes amazing fabrials and Baymax is his spren....
Guest Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 My father is a huge stock market player, and every time he says the word "invest," (read: Invest) I start thinking about the implications on the financial systems of the world. "I invested some money today..."
Fatebreaker he/him Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 And Baymax would be a Horneater Windrunner. Either that or Hiro makes amazing fabrials and Baymax is his spren.... I think Hiro is actually an Epic gifter who disguises the abilities he gifts as technology. 4
king of nowhere Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 My father is a huge stock market player, and every time he says the word "invest," (read: Invest) I start thinking about the implications on the financial systems of the world. "I invested some money today..." See, there is this cool magic system, where have this sort of essence, it works a bit like mana, they call it "money" in that world, and you can gather it and then use it to magically compel other people to do what you say; but that same compulsion drains your mana and replenishes that of the compelled guy, so what goes around comes around. Except when you have really a lot of this "money" thing, than you can access to some really broken mechanics that goes under the general name "financial speculation" where your magic just multiply itself without you doing much. It had the premise to be a great story, but it ended up quite badly. there were too many shades of grey around so that you could never tell who was the hero and who was the villain, and a gazjillion characters (over 7 billions, say those who counted them) and most of them did hardly anything intersting... 4
Bort he/him Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 When you join the library specifically so you don't need to wait until payday to read one of his new books. 2
traceria she/her Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 You're no real sanderfan. If you were one, you'd have all those books already (or preordered and waiting for them in the worst case) When you already own the books and yet you still ask the librarian if they have copies of them, if only to make sure they're available for any library goers who have not yet been converted to Sanderson. (I actually don't do this because I'm in an off part of the relationship with our local library, but I do loan out my copies to friends a lot.) 1
Dankworth he/him Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 * stabs * "Augh! Austre's blush, stab people who are not me!" Good point. I forgot that Vasher was always careful to specify who the Awakened object was to attack. Maybe "Upon my whistle, fly around stabbing people other than me." It would probably take an extremely experienced Awakener of the upper Heightenings to make such a complex command work, though.

Dankworth he/him Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 it never tries to stab his allies either so that would be in the command somewhere too No mere Type-III BioChromatic Entity--that is, normal Awakened objects--could manage the interpretation of such a complex command; an arrow is unlikely to be a complete deceased body, ruling out Type-I and Type-II BioChromatic Entities (Returned and Lifeless). Therefore, the arrow must be a Type-IV Entity--a Sentient BioChromatic Manifestation in an Inorganic Host, like Nightblood. An Awakener of the Ninth Heightening with a thousand Breaths to burn could have created it with the command "Upon my signal, fly and destroy my enemies." To come back to the topic of this thread, you know you're a Sanderfan when you consider this discussion of semi-sentient Nalthian arrows worth the time it takes to look back trough Warbreaker and find the correct terms for the different BioChromatic Manifestations. 3

You know you're a Sanderfan when you have the correct page on the Coppermind for finding the terms of said BioChromatic Manifestations bookmarked on your web browser already.
RawToast225 he/him Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) I know I'm a Sanderfan. Mistborn: The Well of Ascension spoilers bellow. My family was watching TV and I was clicking my pen. Someone asked Why I was annoying them and I immediately replied, "You ate my horse." I giggled like a niny for two full minutes. They actually had to pause the show until I was done. Edited January 22, 2015 by Arthur Dent 11
Slater he/him Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 When you see discarded change on the Empire State Building and immediately think/hope there was an Allomancer fight there. The you convulse thinking about how cool a Mistborn fight around the Empire State Building would be. 3
Kobold King he/him Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 When reading the word "but" on the Nightwatcher Boons/Banes game sends a shiver down your spine.
Nahlion Dahlyr he/him Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 You know you're a Sanderfan when you spent copious amounts of time trying to get your friends who don't read at all to read Sanderson. (and succeed) 1
Guest Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 You know you're a Sanderfan when you spent copious amounts of time trying to get your friends who don't read at all to read Sanderson. (and succeed)I've done this! I just started one of my friends off with Mistborn...I didn't, however, tell him about the vortex of awesomeness and time that he will be sucked into when he finds 17s. It's funny, every time I see him, I ask him where he is in the Final Empire, and he's such a slow reader, it's all I can do not to spoil.

I'm pretty sure there's a Sanderson missionary page somewhere....under a completely different topic name, though. I will see if I can find it. Edit: Here it is!!! (Though it is specific to the Stormlight Archive and is in that section of the forum.) Edited January 22, 2015 by traceria
RawToast225 he/him Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 You know you're a Sanderfan when your boss only likes you because you have read Sandersons books and can keep up with him in discussions about them. 5
Kobold King he/him Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 You know you're a Sanderfan when your boss only likes you because you have read Sandersons books and can keep up with him in discussions about them. "Hey boss, I read this awesome theory about Hoid today!" "Really? Tell me all about it!" "Oh, I will... once you give me that raise I've been asking about." 7
Titan Arum Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 When your colleagues ask you why you haven't gotten a haircut for months or trimmed your beard in weeks, and you reply "So that I can have a realistic Vasher costume at a book signing." (And we then proceeded to talk about Brandon's books for about 20 minutes after they asked what a Vasher was.) 11

Tien'sPetLurg she/her Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 When you're at a book signing and you check the 17th shard board... And he's throwing out cards with codes and you're hoping someone gets one and shares it here.
Mistdork she/her Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 You have a lucid dream and decide that, what the heck, I've always wanted to try to be a Mistborn/Windrunner...time to fly! Official Sandersonerd/Sandernerd for sure. >.> 2
