ok now we definitely need more information on this subject

[AonEne he/him]

There's a relative of Brandon who goes to my church - second cousin or something - but I don't know him well. If you're actually friends with someone who's in close proximity to Brandon often, or talks with him often, then we need DETAILS!

When you're rewatching Grey's Anatomy, see two people pierce by a lamppost and can't help wondering if that could count as an hemalurgic spike and if yes what effect it would have.

Let me think.....

Um. I think my dad is friends with someone who is either friends or cousins of someone who is a cousin of Brandon Mull? Does that count?

[Ethan_sedai he/him]

it's a standard-ish broadsword. 

 

 

 

You know you're a sanderfan when you want more information than that.

 

But seriously, I'm not sure exactly what he does, I haven't asked him yet, although, I did check to see if he could answer questions like "if there were an evil smell in the air, would drawing nightblood get rid of the smell?" he does have the ability to get me cool pins and stuff, though. 

 

Wait, what? you're still here? Wow, you really are a sanderfan. (sorry, starting to pick up bad habits from Alcatraz...)

 

[+Ark1002]

When at church I her "ark", and start wondering what is going on on 17th shard...

[Rebecca she/her]

When your little brother always asks you to come up with cool names for him on different mobile fighting games, and he always asks me to do the name of a Brandon Sanderson character, because they have cool names. And when some of the names are taken, I always wonder if they're a Sanderfan.

Got any friends who are sanderfans? If so, the bragging rights alone should make it worth the money. If not, you have failed. You need to infect them.

I am still planning on it [both building and infecting my friends] got some other projects currently but I hope to slowly get it done over the fall / winter. at the very least I may get some boards done for my garage shelves with various runes / glyphs / etc depending on where I can find room for this.

[Reckless Reader]

You know you're a Sanderfan when:

Okay, so my mom leaves the back door open sometimes in the morning to cool off the house, and during breakfast, she suddenly jumped up. Then she sat back down, saying, "Oh, I just thought I saw something come inside. Like a shadow or something." I immediately freaked out inside.

So, there's that. But also: I remembered a guy I had known a couple years ago and I realized

his

last

name

was

Rao.

Totally get the spoiler trolling thing. When @Box Turtle was reading WoR for the first time this summer, she was expressing her desire to shank Sadeas to me. I said "yeah, you kinda just want to stab him through the eye, right?" and had no idea that I had spoiled Sadeas' death for her.

THAT IS AMAZING. 

Trolling is my all-time favorite thing to do with books. I’ve convinced the friend mentioned as “Them” that... (TFE spoiler)

You know your a Sanderfan when you do this to your children - 

[Pagerunner he/him]

Are you suffering from:
- Small lacerations on the fingertips (sometimes known as papercuts)
- Neck pain (as if whiplash from frequent plot twists)
- Back pain (from carrying around books that are entirely too big)
- Red eyes (but definitely not from crying)

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you may have a disease called Sandersitis. There is no cure known at this time, but frequent infusions of extracanonical information can alleviate the pain. Side effects may include sore ears, headaches, loss of sleep, loss of friends, or worsening of any of the earlier listed symptoms. Ask your doctor if Arcanum is right for you.

[AonEne he/him]

You know you're a Sanderfan when Arcanum is right for you.

[Wyndlerunner he/him]

Hi, I'm Wyndlerunner. I used to lie awake nights, contemplating the mysteries of the Cosmere, I got no sleep, so I was too tired to read during the day. 

Then, I discovered Arcanum. It helped me alleviate my insatiable curiosity, and helped me get my life back together. I would recommend Arcanum to anyone suffering from Sandersitis. 

(If you are currently using Arcanum and have not improved, ask your book vendor about our extra strength treatment: Arcanum Unbounded)

I honestly feel really bad for "Them". But I had a similar experience with the friend that introduced me to MB. She told me that (spoilers for pretty much all of MB):

Spoiler

"Kelsier isn't really dead... He'll be back. He's only kind of dead. He's stubborn."

So I was looking for him the entire rest of the series and I got really mad at my friend when Kell didn't show up by the end of era 1. So she told me to read Secret History. And then it made sense.
