You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

[+Slowswift]

Fixed.

 

But seriously, why did it go from 52% to 51%?

 

May have had something to do with the fact that (I think) he bases those percentages on where he is in the outline. New plot development? Longer outline, ergo not quite as far along as you once were.

[Vissy]

When you encounter temporal characters and keep thinking that they'll one day appear in the Cosmere.

[Bugsy he/him]

 

But seriously, why did it go from 52% to 51%?

I'm actually pretty happy about that. It either means he's lengthening the book, thickening the plot, or already revising. Any one of those will be a positive later, because they mean the content will increase, quality will improve, or revising speed will increase. If, alternately, he made a continuity error, it's best that he caught it now, instead of later building of it and having to replace it and all of its references later.

[Pinnacle-Ferring he/him]

I don't know what you guys are talking about. The progress bar still says 52%.

[Eki]

It may just have been some kind of mistake or caching issue.

[Stormgate he/him]

Or maybe he was a troll.

[DreamEternal]

She did none of the above. She didn't take particular notice of me, I think. My identity is safe for now. We may be one step ahead.

Nazh confirmed genderfluid?

Nazh confirmed genderfluid?

Or, y'know, Lightweaving or something...

[Delightful]

When something like this happens:

Brother: Delightful, I kind of want to see that Brandon Sanderson beauty standards thing again.

Me: huh?

Brother: you know when he talks about the people who pierce their lip with bone?

Me: oh you mean the

?

Brother: ......yeah.

Interest of mine = Sanderson, apparently.

[Xaladin he/him]

BTW everyone: The real reason for the 52% vs 51% is because he only updated the homepage. The different pages on the site are not properly synched and so someone forgot to push some button and only one of the pages got updated.

 

I think it has been fixed now, though.

You know you are a Sanderfan when the conversation above causes a lot of heartburn.

[Renoux she/her]

When you create a 17thshard account after 259 pages of TFE, (I beleive this is how you refer to the first Mistborn book).

Yep, you got it right

When you hear someone remark that something is "hoed" and you think they're referencing Elantris at first

[Glamdring804]

When you make a custom Magic: The Gathering set based on Way of Kings, because you love the Cosmere, you love Magic, and it just so happens that Brandon loves both.

[Renoux she/her]

When you start to think that Brandon Sanderson is a Mistborn, and is somehow playing with your emotions through the books to get you to REALLY like them.

[Nashan’Elin he/him]

When you have about ten annotations on one page of Secret History, and sticky notes poking out of every Sanderson book you have, full of questions, half-baked theories, and thoughts.

[+Slowswift]

Surgebinders have glowy eyes.

 

So do the Fremen.

 

I think it's obvious where I'm going with this.

When you dream that you got your copy of the Lost Metal, and your brain somehow came up with a really outlandish idea that was central to plot of the book, and then you theorize with this idea in your sleep. (Last night was a weird one for me )

[Dymphna]

You give your son a copy of WOR so you can call him an air sick low lander.

I  might just go through and make an Elsecaller deck.

And failing four colours working effectively, a Gravitation deck. 

[Farnsworth]

When your screensaver is a picture of the different types of knights radiant

[Bugsy he/him]

When you catch a frisbee between 2 hands and get excited that you pulled off a lastclap

[Sunbird she/her]

When you keep copies of all of Brandon's books on your Kindle at all times, just in case.

[KnightRadiant she/her]

When you watch the weather channel to keep watch for highstorms. Or, when you stub your toe and are instantly grateful that you aren't a post-Reod Elantrian.

[Renoux she/her]

When you almost die when your library says that B.o.M. and S.o.S are available, but then you go to the library, and they aren't there. The librarian said someone misplaced them.

 

P.S.

I just had to edit this because I realized I wrote "mistplaced them" by accident.
