Emerald101 he/him Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 You know your city is a sanderfan when the public library has 67 brandon-scripts (not counting WoT/soundrecording/foreign language) and only 7 are available. (And that's the largest number I've ever seen available at one time. Most days it's under 4.) 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dymphna Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 The following conversation actually happened a couple nights ago between me and a random guy: Guy: Hey, how's it going? Me: Alright. Guy: Why are you wearing all white? Me: Because I'm the Assassin. Guy: Wouldn't it make more sense for an assassin to wear black? Me: No. If you're going to be assassinated, you have a right to see your assassin coming. White to be seen. Have you read The Way of Kings? Guy: No. Have you? Me: I have. Don't read it unless you have time, though. Because if you do, you will read the sequel, and you will beg the author to hurry up and write the rest. First thing I did upon finishing the second one was to look up Brandon's site to find out when the next one was coming out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistrunner Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 When you pass Sanborn Road, and you try to explain to your baffled family that it's a mixture of Sanderson and Mistborn, which is why you were suddenly saying certain Mistborn quotes, namely "Kill them." 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kobold King he/him Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 You know you're a Sanderfan when your real name and your Shard name become interchangeable in your mind. Sometimes in my dreams... my family members call me Kobold. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delightful Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) You know you're a Sanderfan when your real name and your Shard name become interchangeable in your mind. Sometimes in my dreams... my family members call me Kobold. I'm pretty sure if someone yelled "delightful" I would turn around. I often do a double take when I read the word (especially in a Brandon book) because it's actually not all that commonBut yeah. It's worrying.

Mistrunner Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 If someone yelled "Mistrunner" I'd turn around because it isn't exactly a common name, is it? When your family is considering moving and you think "Well, at least I'll still have Sanderson books and the Shard." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bort he/him Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Not really a Sanderfan thing, but in reference to people's names, there is a scene in Terminator (Salvation, I think, the one with the female terminator), where one of the terminators is trying to kill the other, and for a few minutes you see the scene as they would, through a haze of red, with instructions flashing up in front of their eyes. The text kept flashing between 'Terminate' and 'Abort'. Terminate A Bort... I'm heading the other way, thanks. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonskin she/her Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 You know you're a Sanderfan when you can't help searching for Cosmere's clues in non-Sanderson books ^^'' (I am reading The wheel of time, let' say that this explains that) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Slowswift he/him Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 When you are ashamed that hikes in higher altitudes are harder for you, because that makes you an airsick lowlander. YES. I recently went on a hike up at Cedar Breaks (10K elevation) and I cursed Rock the whole time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald101 he/him Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 When you compulsivly check the forums, even though no-one is on. Wait. That's not normal? When you are ashamed that hikes in higher altitudes are harder for you, because that makes you an airsick lowlander. You know you're a horneater when you do one of the hardest hikes in you're state and the altitude never bothers you. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natc Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 I spent a week in Yunan once. The kind of volunteering work that is perfectly normal in other countries but in China would get me arrested more likely than not There's really not enough air there. Got dragged into a 9km hike when I end up short of breath just by talking too much lungs hurt. I'm definitely an airsick lowlander 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often do a double take when I read the word (especially in a Brandon book) because it's actually not all that common But yeah. It's worrying. How do you feel about the song Let It Snow? "Oh the weather out side is frightful, but my dear you're so delightful."You know you're a sanderfan when, you start dreaming about Kaladin being something called a "truborn" which means he can use all the magic systems, Renarin becoming Hoid's new apprentice and being taught how to properly torment people, little girls running around dragging Nightblood behind them, and then the dreams turn to nightmares because, a) you're walking around naked in shinovar with Szeth trying to kill you, or b ) you go to a signing and Brandon is actually a jerk because when you ask him a question, he full out ignores you.

Zathoth Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 When you seriously starts to ponder what kind of Metalborn everyone you know would be. When you think about how music would develop on the Shardworlds and what kind of tonal systems they would use. (Scadrial would obviously use 16 notes per octave, Roshar would have 10, 15 or 20, because 10 notes per octave is a bit small, I think 15 makes the most sense...) Also when you wonder how 80s Rock would be if it developed on the Shardworlds, if "Babe you are an allomancer" would be a hit song (I will write it someday, promise), when you come up with the pick up line "Are you a brass compounder because you are hot" or "Are you a lurcher because I am drawn to you" . Now we need a thread of terrible Cosmere jokes and pick up lines, don't we? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
