Also by the seven hells but I have no idea where that came from...

Its a GRRM thing... I wont tell anyone 

[Taliax none (name only)]

@Sunbird Yep that was it, besides Javert also having an unhealthy obsession with tracking him down.

You know you're a Sanderfan when you implement Steris's idea of prewriting your humor into your daily life.

But then they would see you coming!  Much better to be a Mistborn and see the lines of metal moving from their buttons or watches.  (:

Or an Awakener. Life Sense would be particularly useful in this situation.

When you forget the extensive list of things you were going to put down.

Thats why I turned off email notifications and made it so it gave me an insight notification whenever something happened

GRRM is short for the fantasy author George R. R. Martin, who wrote the book series that Game of Thrones is based on.

[Contessa she/her]

When your summary of Dr. Strange looks like this:

-Some random Danish guy uses a lashing

-The same random guy draws aons

-BC gets an awakened cloak

-Random guy from above gets eyeliner and starts preaching about Ruin

-A giant mass of writhing, swirling Ruin shows up in the air

(And I haven't even finished the movie yet)

Edit: I finished it

-BC makes a literal wheel of time

When you find about 100 pennies under your bed (I've thrown them at @Cel on several occasions... ) and your first thought is, "The person who previously lived in this house must have made a Mistborn really mad at one point," then stop to think about that logic.

When it just says 99+ emails. I feel almost like it gave up trying to count them all...

Or when you are writing and have to refrain from adding spren, and just put in fairies.

And also, it has been about 20 hours till the last post, and I'm getting slightly bored...

23 hours now...

It's been more than 24 hours! I'm depressed now. I'm going to go reread all of the Kaladin chapters in the SA now...

When your friend sets you on a "Cosmere Raving Timer" with a limit of five minutes so you don't overwhelm them with too much cosmere information at once.

[matfire1999]

When you are seriously considering naming your animals like some of the characters from Sanderson's books(Protection Dog: Kaladin, Cat: Jasnah etc etc)

I can actually relate to that; my friends have actually banned cosmere-themed discussions(I still haven't given up on them reading the books someday)

... the Oathbringer chapters are being posted on Tor at 12:01 am Tuesdays, starting today.

It's 12:01 am eastern time. Depending on where you live it could be better or worse. I live on the west coast, so I read it at 9:10 PM yesterday...

Oh. Phew. I checked and you're absolutely correct. That's what I get for not doing research, I guess.  I can read them at 10pm Mondays. Yay!

[Nathrangking he/him]

When someone accuses you of ruining their lives and you check to  see if you have been spiked.

[Tesh Any pronouns]

When this is your reaction to the release of Oathbringer's prologue:

There are no spoilers, it's just sorta long.

Spoiler

This is in chronological order.

1. Finds out it is released on tor.com
2. Runs around house squealing and yelling
3. Prints it out (I have a VERY hard time reading on computers, or tablets, or anything like that).
4. Runs around house squealing and yelling
5. Check printer and sees that it is out of paper
6. Punch computer desk and bruises knuckles
7. Puts in new paper and starts it up again
8. Runs around house squealing and yelling
9. Gets it out of the printer and runs upstairs to room squealing and yelling to read it
10. Comes down 15 minutes later and runs around house squealing and yelling
11. Puts papers in backpack so you can share with the other 3 Sanderfan's in your school after debating on showing them, or keeping it to your self
12. Runs around house squealing and yelling
13. Leaves for Tae-Kwon-Do

You know you are a Sanderfan when that is your reaction.

On a completely unrelated topic, I am halfway to getting my black belt!

[Calderis he/him]

When you spend the majority of a day discussing the finer points of a small section of text you've pretty much read before. 

[Sami she/her]

When you come up with this idea for a really awesome magic system and after gloating over it for a bit, realise that it's basically a mixup off Mistborn and SA with a couple tweaks 

[Nathrangking he/him]

When you watch the return of the jedi and you see Emperor palpatine and shout THE LORD RULER HAS RETURNED!!!

[Stormsurfer]

When your playing gears of war and the crazy old uncle looks like dalinar kaholin
