You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

[AllomancerSam]

When you work overtime on homework/your senior thesis rough draft and turn everything in early so you won't have any distractions when OB comes out

When you live three hours away from Provo so you bribe your BYU going sister with pizza and groceries to get a release party wristband for you.

When you then drive all that way after a long day of classes to go to said party.

When you stay until 2am to get your book personalized even though you have classes the next morning

When you don't want to wait until you get home to start Oathbringer so you make your friend (who also loves BS and who you kinda dragged to the party with you) read it out loud the whole way home.

When you skip semi-important classes to read, and bring OB to the classes you can't skip so you can read in those few precious minutes before the lecture starts.

When you finish OB and immediately get on 17th Shard to see what everyone else thought of it.

When you spend every spare moment of your Thanksgiving break reading threads on here and rereading different parts of OB to dissect it.

It... has been a busy two weeks.

You know your a Sanderfan when your friend comes over and asked why books 1-11 are missing from your Wheel of Time set

[Nashan’Elin he/him]

When you get your dad to listen to Warbreaker on audiobook, and he likes it so much you give him Mistborn. And the instant he finishes it, he asks “Do you have the Well of Ascension?”

and then an evil grin grows on your face...

[AllomancerSam]

You know you're a Sanderfan when one of the biggest things you look for in a guy is his ability to pull off a Wax cosplay to go with your Steris. 

[Steeldancer he/him]

When you spend your entire piano lesson ruminating upon a new WoB

[Podman]

You any good?

[Steeldancer he/him]

On piano? I would say so. Not a genius, but I can play. 

Unfortunately recently I've been busy recently so I never have time to practice

[Podman]

That's cool. Have you checked out the musician jokes topic? It's awesome. 

[Steeldancer he/him]

Of course I have! I love that topic. 

im probably a better singer than I am piano player

[Podman]

Bass or tenor or what?

[Steeldancer he/him]

tenor. I won't brag... but i'm pretty good

[Podman]

Nice! Anyway, you know you're a Sanderfan when you start making tons of Sanderson related jokes. Regardless of whether the people around you will get them or not.

On an unrelated note, how do I get started on SE? I have an irrational (or rational, never know) fear of actually asking at the SE sub-forum.

I'm the exact opposite.

When you introduce @Vashakh Sadeas to the Shard.

When, two weeks later, you still haven't emotionally recovered from Oathbringer.

Justifyable. Oathbringer almost brought tears to my eyes, something only one other book has done, ever. I've never cried over a book period, so getting that close is a pretty big accomplishment.

I've cried over every book series I've ever read, a least once for each. Stormlight Archive is no exception. xD

[Wandersail he/him]

When you take a break from the Shard to read OB without spoilers, then you come back and you're confused why everyone's name is suddenly Ookla

[Podman]

Heh, heh.

OOKLA!!!

That's what my cousin kept saying.

And I would reply,

"DON'T SPOIL IT!!!!"

Do you have any idea how hard it is not to spoil it???  And the one OB spoiler thread I was invested in got closed... *sigh* Thank goodness for BYU Cosmere club tonight, it will literally be my first chance to verbally explode over this xD *apologizes to everyone in advance*

You see, this is one of the reasons I want to go to BYU, or BYUI.

When you're the only one who doesn't have a copy of OB and can only read the online chapters

That doesn't make you a Sanderfan, just unlucky 

Sadness about the fact, on the other hand...
