You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

[Nathrangking he/him]

When you talk to a kindly old man and decide that he would make a great imaginary grandfather.

[Tesh Any pronouns]

When you are looking at reviews for TWoK and are genuinely upset that the first one you look at has 4.64 stars. (It should be 5). But there are 10,875 reviews. I need to read some of them...

[Nathrangking he/him]

When you are offered strawberry jam and you think twice about it.

Goodreads really confuses me and I always take the reviews and ratings with a grain of salt. Oathbringer already has the following star ratings:

1- 24

2- 9

3. 29

4. 154

5. 622

That's a lot of ratings for a book so tightly under wraps.

[Sami she/her]

Nearly all the bad ratings go something like this: "I've heard a lot of good things about this author and so decided to try.......... this book turned out to be so slow I didn't get what was going on and stopped a quarter through the book.. ect"

you guys need some perseverance!!!! Also they usually end by going "I apologize if I've offended those Sanderfans out there but we are all entitled to our own opinions." Yes we are, but still grrrrrrrrrrrrr

Firstly, I love this, so I don’t want to criticise.

But jam is the cure Beware bread. Smash jam.

It seems like today is the day for jam references on this thread so I'll add my own: When someone offers you strawberry jam and you respond, "Never heard of it."

Thanks @AngelEy3 for this a couple days back!  Here are the results of my ghetto accessorizing  (It's made out of aluminum foil duct tape, cardboard, and a clip-on thing from Hobby Lobby)

So, uh, yeah, when you do this.  ^^;

Edit: sorry for the random spoiler tag, I was going to put the pics in it but I couldn't figure out how.

Nice! Glad I could help with the ideas. Turned out pretty cool looking too. 

I apologize for the double post. Replying to too many alerts tonight.

@Ammanas you mean it's not supposed to smell like that?

Some people are weird. Also, WHO ON ROSHAR WOULD GIVE A SANDERSON BOOK LESS THAN FOUR STARS!!! I would give them all (that I have read so far, except white sand and SA) four and a half stars. I'd give WS four, and SA five. Maybe fave for the MB books too... Or four and nine tenths.

Sorry for the double post. (Stupid quote). But I read part of the first review, and it went on FOREVER, and it spoiled a HUGE part of the Eye of the World! (Which I am currently reading). Really bad review. And it took the person six MONTHS to read WoK. I understand taking time to read it, but that's just crazy. (I read it in 3 weeks). So, yah? I dunno. 

Also, you know you like books TOO much when your brother throws your REALLY NICE, BARNS AND NOBEL LIMITED EDITION FROM 2016 OF THE EYE OF THE WORLD AND THROWS IT ALMOST TO THE CEILING, DOESN'T CATCH IT, AND IT FALLS ON A HARDWOOD FLOOR, THEN RUNS OFF AND YOU CHASE HIM AROUND THE HOUSE, FINALLY CORNERING HIM RIGHT AS YOU MOM WALKS IT. Sorry. Got a bit carried away with the caps. But the book is pretty much OK. Something weird happened to the spine that I don't know how to explain. It's really bugging me. But it's still readable, so that's OK.

Also, I need some advice. I'm trying to decide if I should be Vin or Lift for Halloween, or both. (I have a mistcloak and something I could use as Wyndle. I also have my ears pierced). I mean, both wouldn't be hard, 'cause they both pretty much wear the same thing.

Sorry for the hodgepodge. Back on topic. You know you are a Sanderfan when these are the reasons you want to got to BYU:

1. You and you best friend could be room mates
2. Brandon Sanderson teaches there (I want to be an author, so being in Sanderson's class would be amazing).
3. You would be one of many Sanderfan, instead of one of four, which is my current situation in my school.
4. You would be so much closer to where lot's of signings are
5. It's a really nice/good school

Lol maybe Sadeas? For revenge on Brandon killing him off.....

Nobody in their right mind on earth would though.

Or when the next song, (my favorite song ever) comes on, all you can think of is how great it would be to be a Windrunner. This is why:

Click for video! I am on my kindle so I couldn't get just the lyrics, so oh well. This is a really long link. I'll stop now. 

 

Haha. This was great!  I've never heard this song before, but whenever I hear it again, Windrunners will first and foremost come to my mind.

[Tesh Any pronouns]

@Rebecca After I read WoK, that song took on a whole new meaning. But I really like that band. 1. I really like all of their music 2. Their name is awesome! 

@Sami You might want to put a spoiler tag on that...

When your fandom for Brandon reaches the point you forget that other people's tastes are capable of differing from yours @Tesh @Sami

When you assume realmatic knowledge is a given.

When you have a dream that your mom made chouta for dinner, except you didn't get any because your brother ate it all and then you're mad at him.

How so?

People don't have to like Brandon. I'm guilty of this too. People say bad things about his writing and I get all defensive about it. 

It's definitely humanly possible to rate his books badly though, and legitimately feel that way. 

I was just poking fun is all. 

[Taliax none (name only)]

@Tesh I would probably go for Vin as she would be more easily recognizable, but Lift is super cool too (:

And if you go as Lift you could always carry around a random "Shardfork"

I'm going as Vin for Halloween and I'm at BYU, I agree it's really nice that there are so many fans there, and a lot of signings/releases happen right on campus.
