Ykyasfw you start using Rosharan curses all the time.

Ykyasfw you usually don't use the curses but when you are stuck inside reading sanderson books all day it rubs off on you. Your annoyance at being stuck inside and reading sanderson very often forces you to accidentally use them

[Frustration]

You know your a writer Sanderfan when you're designing magic systems specifically to compete with his. (Or get aspirations for vast and complex possibilities in my case)

when you start explaining to the intricacies of the Cosmere to your dog who just wants to play fetch, and then you concede by explaining it to him while you play fetch

Never before hath such a beautiful imagining landed in mine mind, good sir or madame. Mine day 'tis truly blessed.

[Bookish Ocelot she/her]

YKYASFW you have a reread plan during quarantine

[Shallan&Pattern she/her]

I'm annoyed. I live in a small house of three bedrooms. Normally it wasnt a problem. I even had my own room. Everyone but me were sharing. Then my little sister was born and now she is in it most of the day and I dont really have access to anything in there. So i cant listen to the cosmere series and I don't have it on kindle or in physical form yet. So Im mad because I cant do my cosmere re read. Because my family doesn't let me do it outside of my room.

I had the opposite problem. Growing up, my parents wouldn't let me go to my room and read.

When you and a friend (who hasn't read any Cosmere stuff in ages) start having a conversation about which Cosmere characters we would go drinking with. She invited another one of her friends who's a Sanderfan, and we started discussing how to get all these characters to one planet and us to the Cosmere. And we're bringing a goat named Tanavast. (All three of us are both underage and LDS, and the Cosmere isn't real, so unfortunately, none of this will come to be. Except maybe the goat, which I'd gladly accept).

YKYASW you copy and paste a shortish cosmere summary into a discord chat to prove that it is more complicated than Destiny.

Can you clarify what "Shortish" means in this context?

It’s short by cosmere explanation standards, but still over 3,000 characters. (I know this because discord told me )

Brandon: I'm going to write a short story
Also Brandon: How about 30k words that sounds short

When you have a semi-major existential crisis trying to overcome a discrepancy in TFE and WoA...

Ok so basically (TFE spoilers)

Spoiler

I reread TFE and finished a few days ago, then started WoA. Then they mentioned that time Elend proposed to Vin, which I distinctly remember from TFE, but was 100% NOT in the copy I had just read! The TFE copy was a new trade paperback that I just got from Amazon since I can't get my other copy back from my friend right now, and I'm not sure if that whole scene was cut out of the newer versions of TFE or if I'm just going crazy!! Can somebody help me out?

I don't think that Elend proposed to Vin in that book. At the end of it they had still only met each other recently, remember.

It was offscreen between TFE and WOA.

Some time has passed.  Stuff has happened.

When figuring out how to diversify from just reading Brandon is a challenge.

YKYASFW you get down your big Sanderson book to look up a fact like a smart kid taking down an encyclopedia.

When you do as mentioned above, but spend at least a minute contemplating which edition to use

When you also do this, then get sidetracked by reading and glance up an hour later, remembering that you were in the middle of something.

....Nooooo 

[AonEne he/him]

...and then you just keep reading because you can’t stop yet, there’s a stopping point soon, but right now you’re at the good part! ...and then you finish the book...

When you realize vacation overlaps with a new release making you try to figure out whether to buy it while on vacation or after you return. Experiencing this one since Stormlight 4 comes out the day before my vacation starts.
