You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

[Tesh Any pronouns]

I know I'm late, but about tWoT...

TEotW has actually been my favorite so far, and I am ALMOST done with tFoH. (So close)! They're definitely not my favorites, but I do love the world, the story, and most of the characters. I just really don't like the writing style. I'm reading them for the last three books.

When you're sad because your writing isn't as good as Brandon Sanderson's. (Or just good in general).

Wheel of Time!! Yaaaaaaaaay! Just make sure to hang in there, the last three books are definitely worth it.

I gave up on it... I started my reread of Mistborn while waiting for the 4th book then I was never able to get back into it. I’ll try it again at some point.

Completely inrelated, but when you use YKYASW, you can’t add when after it, because then you just said ‘You know your a Sanderfan when when.’

[Reckless Reader]

YKYASF when you wear your (repaired) mistcloak from last Halloween to Geek Girl Con! I got a grand total of six call-outs from people who knew what it was from. (I think I may have helped convert some of the friends of the people who recognized it )

I had a lot of fun modifying it for the convention -- I spray-painted the bronze symbol on the back with a stencil, and it leaked a little, but it looked really cool and I decided to wear modern clothes with it. Mistborn Era 3, anyone?

Best part of the entire series, in my opinion, except for a few moments through the other books.

YKYASFW you silently laugh at people complaining of the “really long” books they read in class.

on the other hand, there is a HUGE difference between a book you're reading for fun and a book you're being forced to read and take a test over.

 

YKYASFW you hear the song "I belong to you" and, when it hits the line "you're my gentle breeze", you think of Breeze.

Every. Single. Time. You hear that song.

And you think it's very fitting, as Breeze was indeed gentle once you could see past his crusty outside.

Yes, so I've heard. 

But honestly, I want some help with which ones I can skip, 'cause I really have trouble waiting. (Are all the books dealing with the same characters, or do we get different eras, or does it progress with the time wheel line similarly to the Xanth series, or what?)

Oh.. it is a single story dealing with same characters throughout same era.. However, you can just skim through books 8&9 very quickly.. and books 10 & 11, focus on all the Mat and Egwene and Rand stuff.. mainly.. you can skim through if you are having difficulty with how long the series is..

YKYASW you are disappointed you aren’t able to do the Skyward selfie competition.

[Knight of Iron she/they]

YKYASF when you give an abrupt, sharp intake of breath every time you turn off the light.

or when you have to watch your stormin' language

[Ghanderflaffle she/her]

When you use the Coppermind article on chulls for a Spanish assignment.

[Karger he/him]

When you actively wonder why you can't use your ability to translate Alethi women's script as a language requirement.

[NONOGAMESTER he/him]

[Mushroom Catalog he/him]

When you wish you could finally learn the Alethi women's script - and remember it 

[Destruction he/him]

When you wish you had more time for thinking about Sanderson things and that brings you to thinking about bendalloy Mistings which brings you to Wayne. This brings you to all of the Mistborn characters and you realize you just spent 15 minutes doing nothing.

[Knight of Iron she/they]

When you're talking to your friends about different theologies and bring up Vorinism, wondering why they don't follow.

When your friend gets so upset at you and all you're doing is wondering where the angerspren are.

When you can draw glyphs as accurately and as subconsciously as any other letter of the alphabet.

[Ghanderflaffle she/her]

When you advertise Starsight on the back of all your tests...
