You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

[Rasarr she/her]

When you're commuting on the bus and something unusual starts to happen, and you think "what would [sanderson character] say to that?"

[WayneSpren he/him]

Remind me to never talk or otherwise interact with Derek.

My real name is Derek.

 

You made me sad!

[Curious Anamaximder he/him]

When you try to ask out a girl, but ask her to a signing.

[The Invested Beard]

When you spend almost the entire family superbowl party discussing the finer points of the Cosmere withyour brother who you introduced to Sanderson in the first place and is now a rabid reader as well.

[CarolaDavar she/her]

When you own as many books of Brandon's that you can, and all of them are signed and personalized

[Brightness Enna she/her]

When this is the only thread you've seen today and "you have reached your quota of positive votes for the day"

When someone at school or work offers you a cookie, and your immediate response is "sure, a nice Hemalurgic spike never hurt anyone."

[Darkness Ascendant he/him]

When you have nightmares about seeing symbol headed creatures in a strange land.

Then you wake up in  cold sweat, listening to the sounds of the storm outside.

You go to the window to open it....and lightning flashes, outlining the silhouette of a strange primitive 2D being that looks like a chalk Egyptian hieroglyph.

You then proceed to run away screaming something about Shadesmar and Rithmatic lines.

Then you wake up and realise it was all a dream.

True story

[Brightness Enna she/her]

When you misread "write sec d in terms of sin d" as "write sec d in terms of Sanderson", then proceed to do just that:

S is for Stormlight

E is for Elantris

C is for Cosmere

A is for Awakeners

N is for Nalthis

T is for Tineye

 

When a teacher asks you to write a metaphor beginning with "life is like..." and you proceed to make up the worst but almost-making-sense one you can. (Life is like an anglerfish who finds he's been at a disco party this whole time. [Just your own light for the longest time until, wow, it's a disco party, and disco parties have a lot of colorful light and people, so you're not alone.]) Plus said teacher said it was brilliant. I highly doubt she's read Reckoners.

 

When somebody says "Brandon said it's ..." (another Brandon) and you think they're talking about Sanderson.

[Oversleep]

When the words "lerasium spike" and "lerasiummind" are haunting you. I NEED TO KNOW, BRANDON!
*goes back to cracking Steel Alphabet*

[Darkness Ascendant he/him]

When wearing sunglasses just jumped to a completely new level of awesome

[Brightness Enna she/her]

When your phone's hotspot is named "AonAre" for unity, but only because there wasn't an aon that meant "connection". Maybe someday I'll change it to Duralumin Ferring or something else more creative. 

 

Edit: Duralumin mistings have nothing to do with connection. It's the ferrings that do that. So changed "misting" to "ferring". Oops

[Xaladin he/him]

When the reason you came back on 17th shard after a long absence is because of seeing lots of signs titled "Come join the Dark Side. We have cookies!"

[Delightful]

When you see a picture of this cool chain bracelet and your immediate thought is: fabrial!!

[Darkness Ascendant he/him]

When your favourite number becomes 16!

(used to be 21)

[Alfa he/him]

When you realize that Neo from Matrix is a full Mistborn, especially steel, pewter, tin and Atium.

[Moonskin she/her]

You know you're an Sanderfan when you are thrilled by the possibility of equipping a sword called "fireshard" on your main character in FFIV 

[Observer]

When you can drop by the Headscratchers page of TV Tropes and answer almost all of the questions there satisfactorially without ever cracking open a book.

[Sunbird she/her]

When the Shard goes offline for a few minutes and this is your reaction:

[Pinnacle-Ferring he/him]

When you accidentally read "wafers filled with chocolate-flavored crem"

...and you lose your appetite.

[Sunbird she/her]

When you stay online until 12:30 am despite the fact that you have to get up at 7 tomorrow morning, because you just finished Secret History and need to geek out about it.

[natc]

When you had stayed up even later than that for Secret History and had to get up at 7.

2:00AM . . . rusts I was tired that day.

[Oversleep]

When you stay up to 5 am to finish Bands of Mourning and you have to get up at 6 am. More like Bands of Morning! XD

I have no self-preservation instinct, have I? More like self-Ruin instinct XD

2016

...

IT'S THE YEAR OF THE COSMERE, PEOPLE.

 

Get your mistcloaks ready and figure out a way to make tiny gemstones set in glass glow! Also, genetically engineer chulls and wear too-colorful clothing and organize giant life-long LARPs and stay up 'til 2 am on the Shard because it's more addictive than sleep. I'm gonna like this year.
