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. 

Imaginary upvote! (I'm out).

Oh you are no fun! It is always best to, "Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women."

Another one!

@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.

STORMING QUOTE!!! Sorry for the double post. Again. But I'm probably going to do both, one for school, and one for not school stuff as they pretty much wear the same thing. I'm going to go make a shard fork or rod, or both, and find a better way to carry around my three dollars worth of pennies an nickels.

When you read a tale of two cities and you think that it refers to Kae and Elantris.

Wouldn't this imply unfamiliarity with his work? 

When you see two threads on this page, and another on the Oathbringer board, all dedicated to the overhype of sample chapters... And can't wait three more weeks.

[+Extesian he/him]

When you say to the nurse doing your IV "Thanks Aslydin" and overthink her reaction. 

When someone tells you they like Felt and overthink whether they mean the material or a person.

When you see someone talking to a tree and overthink whether they realmatically aware.

When you can't get into a club because you overthink them trying to stamp your hand and accuse them of trying to change you. 

When you watch a symphony orchestra and you overthink the conductor's conducting, and swear you see Aon Ene in there.

When you overthink  the number of new statues and whisper to each one "My sin be hidden".

When you overthink your girlfriend forgetting something and demand she get an x-ray, mumbling something about her true body. 

When you overthink your friend turning blonde and start talking to get about One and the Long Trail.

When you overthink your dad's hair turning white, jump up and down yelling that you've found him, and tell him "I'm on to you Cephandrius" while giving him a sly wink.

When your whole family is eating cookie dough and you had to try really hard to not say, "Watch out for Hemalurgic spikes!" (My mom is getting really tired of the Sanderson references).

Bit of background knowledge before I put down this other thing. During one point last year, I was reading thirteen books at once. NEVER AGAIN. I have vowed to only one book from now on. Well, and an audiobook for when I can't read. But you know you are a Sanderfan when you really want to finish Eye of the World just so you can read SoS and BoM. I also have 22 books on my bookshelf that I need to read. (I went to the library two days ago). And that's not including SoS and BoM.

When you FINALLY watch a Wrinkle in Time (I read it in 3rd grade) and you wonder if It/the darkness is Odium. Or if Ms. Whatsit, Ms. Who, and Ms. Which are really just very experienced worldhoppers.

Very true  People don't have to like cake either. (and by this I mean like a really really really really really to the power of 10 good cake)

Well there you go. 

I'm a pie person. Good cake beats average pie, but no cake beats good pie.

Well yes Pie too.

I happen to be more of a tasty/salty person than a sweet person. Which is why I said the really really really good stuff. Served for a better example.

When you get REALLY nervous when your mom makes you go shopping with her and you have to stop at the bank. I was uneasy the whole time. At the bank. Not shopping. (But I hate shopping. Unless it's at Barns and Nobel).

When you spend the entirety of your library volunteer time on the Shard. (I'm not doing anything else lol)

When you wrote an entire essay for your AP English exam on Tarangavian.

When you try to ironpull the coins out of the fountains.

When your dad says he wants a lightsaber for doing the yardwork, but you would rather have a shardblade.

When you run around your lawn, trying to scare the grass.

When you compare the sentance structure of Brandon Sanderson's books to books that are hugely popular... and realize just how much better constructed it is. (I never realized just how many "..." there is in Harry Potter. Go back! It will blow your mind!)

[StrikerEZ he/him]

When you spend a week or so off the Shard and without thinking about the Cosmere so you go insane.

(Sorry for disappearing, band camp started recently and I've had no time). 

Also, you know you're a Sanderfan when your autocorrect on an iOS device doesn't correct words like Cosmere, Sanderfan, etc.

When you know how to properly spell words like Taravangian or Palanaeum without looking them up.

EDIT: When you see the next unread topic is "New Info About Hoid" and you freak out for a second but then realize it's a joke topic about clickbait Cosmere titles.
