Mistrunner Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 When you're stargazing and consider all of the satellites and planes and things to be starspren.I was doing this during the meteor shower this summer! I even mentioned it to my family that was with me, but they basically said "Going a bit far with the references, Ess," so yeah. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Honor Spren Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 ...When "you stretch forth thy hand"1 regulary, hoping to find a shardblade in it. 1: Quoting Syl. Nice choice of quote, I can't think of a better person to quote from. When you can't think of a name for a town while playing Werewolf, so you just call it Hearthstone. . . . And laugh so hard on the inside, when you see the one guy in the class who's read Stormlight go: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistrunner Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 When the Inquisition takes on new meaning. In other news, I recently read a book where the policemen-like figures were called Inquisitors. Naturally, I was expecting them to be... different. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfa Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) My friend is trying to write a graphic novel for two three years (damnation, so long), but because he is "a little bit" lazy there are no pictures and very little plot yet. There is something called "the inquisition", but it is something between medieval inquisition, legal police and black magic wielders... Not so much different to Mistborn Inquisitors.Probably I shall force him to read Mistborn... Oh, and you know, you're a sanderfan when you are ripping your hair none of your friends is reading Sanderson- Edited October 15, 2015 by Alfa 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elbereth Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 The Tenth Anniversary edition contained a little Cosmere-relevant scene at the end. You shouldn't need to buy it, though. It's only a couple of pages. You could read it in the bookstore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king of nowhere Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 I was studying for a chemistry exam, when I read "Lews Therin catalyzed ..." before realizing that it doesn't make any sense. I had to go back and look again to find out that it actually spelled "Lewis acid catalyzed" 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elbereth Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 That sucks. You can ask your local library to get it. Or you could just get the updated version, which also has a better Ars Arcanum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allomancy Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I just realized. I am naughty, because with the Alcatraz series, I accidentally skipped the book that tells you off for skipping books in a series. (I went back and read it after though) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfa Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Alcatraz teached me not to read the end of books. And yes, I did that before. I was a very bad person. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allomancy Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Alcatraz teached me not to read the end of books. And yes, I did that before. I was a very bad person. It's okay. I used to do that too. If a book was getting scary, or if I thought someone would die, I would go to the end of the book. Shame on me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elbereth Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 You know you're a Sanderfan when you start transcribing a signing instead of doing your homework. ...when you think about your Epic weakness, and you decide it would be papercuts (I'm not joking). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMistborn Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 You know you AREN'T when you join 17th shard and realise just how many threads you have to trawl through to become a true sanderfan You know you ARE when you see the word catechism written on a floor tile in the bathroom at school, and leave a stick there, only to find that the stick seems to have become fire and vanished, and the writer (obviously a fellow fan) has left a vial of metal shavings from the science labs in its place 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a legit thing, some people read the end of a book first. I greatly dislike it when I accidentally read the ending, particularly the last line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elbereth Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 When you go to the Asian Art Museum and see lots of red ink stamps, and all you can think is "Why aren't they round?" When you finally see a round one, and you think it must be from MaiDon, because no Rememberer would put the seal in such an obvious place. When you then begin to wonder how many are stamped in places that aren't visible, and begin to suspect that everything in the museum is Forged. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
