picksupchickens he/him Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 When pick up a stick and wonder if it talks. When you see all of the stuff on 17s and don't question the sanity of the people posting. 4
Mestiv he/him Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 When you're on your vacations, having breakfast and browsing 17S 2
Allomancy she/her Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 When you are listening to Sanderson books while you clean your room. When you name a stuffed elk llarimar (however it's spelled) and a mountain goat lightsong. When you try to figure out how Brandon gets all his book ideas, because you can't seem to ever come up with a good plot for anything. 2
picksupchickens he/him Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 When you almost give up writing because you find out Brandon made the map of Roshar from a fractal. (Can't find a link.) Seriously, Brandon Sanderson, be a little worse of an author to make us mortals feel less bad. (Not really, stay good.) When you constantly compare other authors to him and find them lacking. 5
The Honor Spren she/her Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 When you're watching Brother Bear and you think, "Hey! Maybe this is a movie that the Alethi would understand pretty well!" 2
Kobold King he/him Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 When you're watching Brother Bear and you think, "Hey! Maybe this is a movie that the Alethi would understand pretty well!" You'd have to change it to "Brother Whitespine," though, which doesn't have quite the same alliterative value. 1
Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 You know you're a Sanderson fan when you and your cousin see a flashing light in the sky and you start to wonder if it's Calamity......0.0 3
Elsecaller3414 she/her Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Gasp! Calamity?! that would be cool/scary. Like both. You know you're a sanderfan when others consider you insane because you mutter to yourself about SA because nobody else will listen! Which is why the Shard is here. Yay. 1
picksupchickens he/him Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 When you're constantly anxious about how your posts will be received on 17s. *F5* *F5* When you read all of his books. Multiple times. 5th time of WOK. Heh heh. 5
Adamir he/him Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 When you recite the Skybreaker oath upon signing up for the police force. White text disclaimer: That wasn't me; it was a friend of mine. 7
Emerald101 he/him Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 When you have trouble making conversation with non-sanderfans because they don't understand any of your jokes/references. 2
Brightness Random she/her Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) When you have trouble focusing in driver's ed while discussing the differences between manual and automatic transmission because all you can think is, "I am a stick shift." "Yes, but you could have automatic transmission." "I am a stick!" Edited August 17, 2015 by Brightness Random 12
Dymphna Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Entroduced my folks and sister to Alcatraz. Mom and sister have decided their talent is to pick the wrong line at checkout. 1
Allomancy she/her Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 When you sing a song, and instead of saying "I will crack", you say "I will snap" , so you can become a misting. The words in the quotations are the lyrics.
The Sovereign Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 When you almost give up writing because you find out Brandon made the map of Roshar from a fractal. (Can't find a link.) Seriously, Brandon Sanderson, be a little worse of an author to make us mortals feel less bad. (Not really, stay good.) When you constantly compare other authors to him and find them lacking. Here you go, all the credit in world to Veil for figuring it out... I studied Julia sets at one point and still didn't recognize it until I saw Veil's post... I wish I knew more about math so I could really contribute to this conversation. Like I have no idea what Julia sets and Fatou sets are or whether they have anything at all to do with Roshar, but... Come on. Tell me that doesn't look like Roshar. Also, I like the sound of "Julia set behaviour is chaotic, while Fatou set behavior is regular/ordered." Sounds a bit like Honor and Cultivation to me. (By the way, RShara, if you see this, it might be helpful to add the summary to your first post so newcomers to the thread can get caught up.) 3
Elsecaller3414 she/her Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 My mom has to ban me from all Sanderson books in order for me to get my homework done... 5
Kobold King he/him Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 My mom has to ban me from all Sanderson books in order for me to get my homework done... Write all your literary essays about Brandon Sanderson books. It's more or less what I did. 5
Evil_Reptile Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 You know you're a Sanderfan when, instead of clenching your fist in anger, you stick it to the side and try to summon your Shardblade. 8
Kobold King he/him Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 You know you're a Sanderfan when, instead of clenching your fist in anger, you stick it to the side and try to summon your Shardblade. You know you're a Sanderfan when counting to ten comes naturally to you when you're angry. 7
Elithanathile he/him Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 You know you're a sanderfan when the most natural excuse to keep reading is, "But it's a Sanderson book!" And see that as a perfectly logical argument. 3
picksupchickens he/him Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) When you're in a reading slump, but then you realize you can read Sanderson for the umpteenth time. When you're a stick. When you only like kobolds in fantasy when they're Kobold King. Cosmere books before school, reading before conversations. Edited August 19, 2015 by picksupchickens 5
Brightness Random she/her Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 When you're at a (loud) concert and regret not bringing your tinmind so you can store hearing. 9
Delightful Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) Write all your literary essays about Brandon Sanderson books. It's more or less what I did. I almost did, but then decided it would ruin the books for me. Also, they are way complex and id have to write like 20 pages to analyse one theme. Edited August 19, 2015 by Delightful 3
WayneSpren he/him Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 I almost did, but then decided it would ruin the books for me. Also, they are way complex and id have to write like 20 pages to analyse one theme. Best. Book report. Ever. Even if it took 20 pages, it would be so fun to write! Example: WoR. 10 pages on Stick. 3
