How is it?

Unpolished, and you can definitely see where some things influenced canon. 

Not bad. Obviously not up to his publishing standard, but not bad.

That'd actually be really funny.

Also, I'm a sanderfan because I've started recommending his books to everyone. 

I've recommended as well! Heck I've recommended to this girl I like but I'm not sure if the books are available in Danish.

@Tesh like this? 

If I could spend all of my upvotes on this I would, this totally made my day XD XD

I told my friend who went on a mission that if he could talk up the Book of Mormon the way he did the Wheel of Time (he was the one who got me to read it) then he would convert like the whole country of Costa Rica.

Ha glad you liked it!

When you mentally compare the Silent Realms in Zelda: Skyward Sword to the Cognitive Realm.

When you see an illustration of a white sun and your first thoughts are Autonomy and Taldain, even thought you haven't even read White Sand.

When you with you could hike up a specific mountain in Utah (Mt. Timpanogos) just because a friend just because a friend of yours said he once walked past Brandon Sanderson while hiking it.

When you think of the Arbiters from Emperor's Soul when doing the Arbiter's Grounds dungeon in Zelda: Twilight Princess. (And you know you're a Zelda fan when it's vice versa)

When you think of various media production of nearly all the cosmere works.

When you are at a camp and every new person you talk to you ask if they have read Brandon Sanderson in the vain hopes that they have- in which they haven't but somehow the conversation keeps turning back to Brandon Sanderson - everyone's like *groan* when you keep talking about it you are like YOU GUYS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE MISSING OUT ON

When you want to do a book report on WoK. Or pretty much any Sanderson book. But preferably WoK.

Or when you call your shelf with just Sanderson books on it your Sandershelf.

@Taliax Or if they started a conversation about the Book of Mormon, then slowly slips into a conversation about the Wheel of Time and Sanderson. Whenever @That Storming Darkeyes and I get together, that's how are conversations go. Sort of. We start with Sanderson, slip into something else, then width five minutes, back on Sanderson.

when you are meant to be doing homework but somehow your web browser just happens to keep coming up with the 17th Shard instead of researching your respective essay subject.......

I still haven't found an irl person who has read Sanderson when I've asked about it. Tried giving my brother WoK and a coworker Final Empire. All it got me was needing a new copy of Final Empire cause my coworker quit and disappeared before giving it back. I like to think that the Steel Inquisition got her. Way better than the idea that she just stopped showing up on a holiday weekend.

Aw well, at least it made for a goodbye gift......      

I only just introduced my friend to Brandon Sanderson. She has read most Alcatraz, is now reading Elantris and is taking FOREVER about it. The only other irl people are my sibs who are too busy to read any more or fandom with me.

@Sami both my siblings are younger than me, and my sister will only read Harry Potter, and my brother is 4.

When in Sunday school you are asked to draw ox and you try to draw chull, and the only other Sanderfan in the room starts cracking up. (But that might have been because they looked so bad).

Or you find a piece of gray fabric and start plotting... The end result are two passable Mistcloaks. One for me, and one for my stuffed platypus.

I liked them the first time i read them, but i was 12-14 so...

 

when i look at them now i just find the writing super simplified and the stories are very predictable. I don't think they are good reads for anybody over the age of 15. The fact that my library promotes these books and ignores Brandon disappoints me though

Well, I was 8 when I read them, sooooooo, and I was 12 when I discovered Sanderson.... (People are shocked when they find out I was reading young adult in 3rd grade. And adult when I was 12).

Where did I go wrong in my life?

Also, I think this may be a double post, but I couldn't figure out how to put the quote in my other one...

When you realize that you almost have as many posts as @Pagerunner....and you begin to question whether the universe is broken.

I'm still a pretty new fish in the pond. Check out skaa, Kurkistan, or Argent.

I know, but you're already getting close up there with the big dogs, in my opinion.

@Pagerunner is one of those who makes their posts count. Just look at their thousandth (invaluable) post. 

Quality over quantity.

Oh, I know that. I just found it weird that our post counts are so close when he's such a better theorizer than me. 

Speaking of which, when did you pass 2,000 posts?

I'm fairly determined to do this for Halloween/Salt Lake ComiCon this year, only sans platypus.  I have the look to go as Vin if it weren't for two problems: 1. I need black hair dye and 2. I don't have my ears pierced.

On that note, when you consider getting your ears pierced just for a Vin cosplay. XD
