You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

[MistbornAlpaca he/him]

*Watches Star Wars*

There's no originality in this Storming world anymore! Everyone just rips off Brandon Sanderson, I mean, look at those laser swords, why couldn't they have made up their own magical sword? Really Lucas, really? 

[Penumbra]

When you realize Oathbringer is out in 7 days, and your thought is "can I re-read Way of Kings and Words of Radiance in 7 days? If I don't sleep maybe?"

[Sallin Zeras he/him]

You know you are a Sanderfan when you and your History teacher instantly become best friends just because you both like Brandon

[AngelEy3 he/him]

4 days to go! Give or take a few hours for the mailman. He's usually here by 9 on Tuesdays, but since I'm waiting I'm sure it'll be after noon.

I’d talk to him today and see if you can make arrangements to pick it up at the post office first thing in the morning before he heads out on his route.

When your sister’s dog “accidentally” has puppies at your house and since they can’t be moved for 8 weeks then you get to take care of puppies for two months. So you get naming rights. 

The white (assassin) male: Szeth

Then you get into an argument with your kids because you want to name the black male Pattern (Stormlight) and they want to name him Alcatraz (the Dark Talent)

When all of your piercings make you feel like an inquisitor, and have long since been subject to Ruin. That Harmony fellow is just not as mentally unstable.

This is the cutest thing I've seen and read all day and made me super happy so I just wanted to comment a big thanks haha.

You think to yourself "Oh no! I wanted to do a Stormlight reread before Oathbringer came out, but I got so distracted adding Arcanum stuff to the Coppermind I don't have enough time anymore."

Thank you for your sacrifice. Love the Coppermind!

I've decided to do my rereads after Oathbringer, when I have all the new information and can marvel at Brandon's foreshadowing.

When this conversation happens:

Friend: "So, any plans for this weekend?"

Me: "Yes. I'll be attempting to read a 400,000 word book in three days to prepare for its 450,000 word sequel."

Friend: *blank stare*

When you have a conversation spanning 8,000 kilometers about Oathbringer via facebook with a guy 20 years older than you.

[Penumbra]

When you realize your local store releases both the sleek european cover version that matches your other books and the Jasnah-being-a-badass cover version in hardcover, and you get stressed out because you can't decide.

Do I match my other books, or do I fangirl over Jasnah ...?

When you are gone for just two days, and you come back to 28 new emails. 

And the thing it, I sort all of my emails, depending on what they are from! (Very nice way to spent a half hour, actually).

[Calderis he/him]

When you plan to disappear at 9 PM PST on the 13th, from both the Shard, and discord, to avoid accidental spoilers, until you finish OB. 

I have come to think of this as the Dark glory. I will revel in the Thrill of Consumption, and desperately miss you all.

Re-Re-read first two stormlight books, and now I STILL HAVE TO WAIT!! AHHHHH!!!, I finished my quest. I finished all other Cosmere works other than White sand, and Arcanum Unbound. I can't do White Sand until I get back to the states. I had to spend my allowance "I'm 30 years old", because my wife wouldn't let me over spend the account. but I did it.. But I still have to patiently wait AFTER I download Oathbringer, to finish Arcanum unbound.

 

I think I'm going to just skip to the Lift section, Any other books other than Edgedancer that have S.A. Tid bits that are note worthy? Or can I just skip to Edge Dancer Consume it in one day and pick up on Oathbringer a day late?

Thoughts?

Secret History, while not directly related to SA, has some great insights into the Cosmere in general and would probably worth a pre-OB read.

When you're in a C++ class at school, and you finish your code earlier so you sneak onto the shard to peruse the news...

[Farnsworth]

I’m going on a reading fast from until when Oathbringer comes out, so I can properly focus on Oathbringer.
