You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

[AllomancerSam]

When your only condition for giving your sister a ride across town is that she has to listen to you talk about the Cosmere the whole time (and specifically Oathbringer, because at that time no one I knew in real life had read it)

When you watch a lot of bookshelf tours on youtube (it's relaxing okay) and the first thing you look for is if they have Sanderson books and then you proceed to judge them, like, super harshly if they don't.

When you recommend Brandon to your doctor

When you write down all of Fleet's story. Just the parts that Hoid tells. I might audition to preform it in my school's talent show. I'll just have to wait and see.

Okay, but this sounds really, really awesome. Even if it's just a simple recitation (no fancy smoke/leaves/sand/instruments etc)... ugh, just amazing. I've thought about doing that sort of thing before, but I don't have many opportunities to perform, especially fun stuff like this. I have written the WoR Wit scene as a 2-4 person 5-minute skit, with appropriate corrections so it makes sense out-of-world ("elephant" instead of "chasmfiend", for example). Oh, and now that I look it up, I also did a WoK one, though that one requires a few more people and is less funny as a skit.

When you look at aluminum foil and think "this would make great armor, and a hat!"

I'm sending my copy of Oathbringer to my brother, who's in Israel for the year. Nobody ever say that I don't make noble sacrifices.

Wow, I admire you a lot. I don't think I'd have the grit to send my copy overseas (thinking of my sister who is overseas for a while and has read SA and loved it)

When you fangirl with your friends even though they have no clue and you have to be told to "breathe. [Because] fangirl hyperventilation isn't healthy."

When in math your teacher is talking about the plural for axis, (axes) and all you can think of is Axies the collector.

[Podman]

When you call those water jet pack things spyrils. I don’t know what they are actually called. I just always call them spyrils. I get confused when other people call them other things. 

[Vashakh Sadeas he/him]

When you convinced your friend's English teacher to read the books and got them on the school's recommended list.

WoB on Hoid and instant noodles:

"He likes his ramens, right? Like any sane person, he likes his instant noodles. Nothing more than that."

Not sure if that answers anything, but figured I'd throw that out there

Impressive amount of posts here, so sorry if it's already been said but:

When you spend 3 hours trying to explain the Cosmere to a friend in an attempt to make them read it, but end up spoiling everything instead.... 

 

The friend I did this to was fine with reading the series anyway until I mentioned that Oathbringer has like 150 chapters.

That's including the prologue and epilogue.
