You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

[Tesh Any pronouns]

When your theory of who Azure is proved correct (by a spoiler tag on the Coppermind, no less) and you run around with this really large grin on your face, and your parents just look at you and shake their heads.

I think this goes for everyone on here.

[Flying she/her]

When you're just sitting on the couch and have this random thought of the Stormfather singing "Friend Like Me" to Dalinar, and then you choke on your own saliva and start laughing and coughing at the same time. 

[Stormblessed Dolphin he/him]

When you're at chic-fil-a and a plastic wrapper is sticking to stuff, like your hand (static electricity, or so they say) and you're just like

"I know you're there you tricky little spren, even though I can't see you, I know you're there"

That's amazing. Sometimes, when I'm listening to music and need something else to occupy my mind, I will imagine characters (more often than not Sanderson characters) singing or dancing to the songs. 

Current favorites include Bridge Four singing to the Cheetah Girls with a synchronized dance number, the Mistborn crew enthusiastically dancing the Cotton-Eyed Joe dance, and Odium singing Be Prepared, complete with a backup girl chorus.

It's hilarious.

Why did you have to say that?

*chokes, then starts laughing maniacally*

[Taliax none (name only)]

When someone insults Words of Radiance, and you feel all the respect you once had for them jump out the window.

I do this all the time. One time we were in the car driving to our band competition and my friends had Disney songs on Pandora. The whole time I was imagining cosmere characters singing and dancing to the songs. Kaladin, as it turns out, can sing a very delightful "I'll make a man out of you".

[Cosmernaut]

When you start applying Cosmere logic to other shows even if they only fit in loosely. I glanced over the Bleach anime and thought, “The swords are sentient because they’re highly invested objects. The only difference is that the ‘spren’ here came from the people using them.” 

Same thing happened when I was watching Supernatural and they found an artifact called a ‘Hand of God’ which is an object imbued with God’s power. I thought, “Aah, I see. A splinter.”

[Tesh Any pronouns]

When your left hand is in your sleeve for family pictures.

When you watch the Polar Express, and when you first see the weird man, you think, "Oh, there's Hoid!"

[A Dopey Spren he/him]

When you get a splinter, then worry that the voices in your head are actually Ruin influencing you through hemalurgy ... or am I the only person who hears things....?

[CrazyManth3 he/him]

When you used to be very introverted, but when you learned of the shard you have tried quite hard to get others to read Sanderson's books.

Actually I've given someone a copy of the first Mistborn, and someone else I've gotten to get Elantris from the library(I don't have my own copy).

Yay, I was successful! 

[Borio Singaldi he/him]

When you finally have enough cosmere books that you can't fit them all on one Sandershelf, so you make the shelf on the other side of your bed into another one.

(Don't know why the photos are sideways, but whatevs). I finally have ten cosmere novels and one cosmere story collection. WEEHEE! Though technically, all of them are my dad's, except for Arcanum Unbounded. He doesn't mind too much that I keep them by me.

You're also a Sanderfan when you hope to accidentally meet Brandon Sanderson whenever you go to American Fork.

[Tesh Any pronouns]

I got someone to read Steel heart and Firefight.

Nothing more.

I am sad.

There are five people at my school who have read the SA. I converted one of them. 

[CrazyManth3 he/him]

I'm currently trying to convert the youth at my church before I go to people anywhere else. (I doubt I would actually talk to people I'm not comfortable with so...)

When you have a sister that aspires to become an author, so you continuously tell her about Sanderson because he has some amazing writing and writing tips, but she refuses to read any of his books on her own time, (she has listened to all of the Alcatraz series on audio) and it breaks your heart.

Tie her down, gag her so she can't speak, and start reading mistborn out loud. eventually she'll have to listen.

If that doesn't work, nothing will.

I don't think she or my family members would appreciate that.

When you think that all of those martial arts people on the shard should try some Chayshan on for size.

Hey! Me too, very sad

Although the only reason he didn't continue was because his library didn't have Calamity, and I eventually convinced him to try SA, but he never read WoR

Storming kids at my school never listen to my book recommendations. I spend my whole lunch time trying to lead people I know to the Sanderson shelf in the library. I eventually drag them there, explain SA and Mistborn, and by the time I'm done explaining all the plots and how amazing they are, the kid leaves the library with a copy of Divergent or something. On the bright side, I've gotten around two people to read Reckoners, one person to read The Rithmatist, and my best friend to read Mistborn (he's now reading The Way of Kings, so I am a happy obsessive child).

When you accidentally spell protein like protien.

When you think you hear someone say that their teacher keeps pairing them up with thaylens.

When you spend all of your free time pondering the mysteries of the Cosmere.

When your teacher askes you to write about if you could be friends with anyone, who would it be, and you write a giant paragraph about how Kaladin would be the coolest friend ever. 

When Christmas is a time to get people to buy books for you.
