You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

[Ashspren]

You know you’re a Sanderfan when you’re tutoring a younger kid, and they ask: 

“Wait. In this fraction, there’s a zero on the... what do you call the bottom part again?” 

“The denominator?” 

“Right. Um... how do I divide that?” 

“You don’t. It’s inappropriate. Okay?” 

“Wait, really?” 

“No, it’s undefined...”

This post seems a bit cryptic to me.

Almost like a web of lies... Mmmm

When you hear judge/king and instantly think Nale; a heartbeat later, you say "mister" to a dog and think of when Bit changed his name to that, and immediately after that, you are reminded by Alcatraz by yawning. All in less than a minute.

That's when you know you're a Sanderfan, I suppose.

When a YouTuber you like mentions a Sanderson book. This one known as Goodnight Moon mentioned Mistborn in one of her new videos (rambling ASMR) and one where she went to the library she focused on the Mistborn books for a little bit.

When your watching a YouTube video with your dad, and at the beginning of the video it shows the words “Ska Productions” and you both just smile at each other knowingly.

[Kidpen he/him]

When you see SE and think "Who's playing Mafia in here?"

I say to literally everyone that says they like books at EFY (its a mormon thing) so far out of about 50, 2 know who he is, and none have read his books. Its at BYU, where Brandon teaches...

[Ethan_sedai he/him]

when you see people comment about having 2, 8, or even 15-16 tabs open on the Shard, and you fall out of your seat laughing, because you have so many tabs, you can only see the 17th shard icon.

[Darth Woodrack he/him]

When you only make Sanderson references in a game of Scattergories.

I know about EFY, no need to worry

[AonEne he/him]

When there are characters named Splinter and Shard in a non-Sanderson book, and you go insane.

I was never able to go, but I still listen to the music sometimes. I feel like the EFY songs are more spiritual than the hymns we sing at church (just my opinion though)

But to keep this thread in track: you know you are a Sanderson fan when you adopt a Nin expression as one of your life mottos, "One cannot live life making decisions at every juncture". You have a game plan, or made tough decision just stick with it.

Being an avid Dungeons and Dragons / Pathfinder player - i am constantly thinking on how to covert them over

Its really good.

A lot of my notes and things to remember are Knights Radiant oaths. Mostly Bondsmith "I will take responsibility for what I have done. If I must fall, I will rise each time a better squid/kid/spren thingy."

Edit: I realized that I am not actually man, i am a squidkidthing

"I will rise each time a better inkling...or possibly a better inkspren? Yeah, I'm still figuring that out"

I totally agree with this. Well, with a few exceptions.

You know you’re a Sanderfan when your using the Shard on you phone and your sister comes over and says something to the effect of “You’re on that again? You’re always on there. What is it anyway?” I told her it was a Brandon Sanderson thing, and she said, “Well that explains it.”

Edit: 600th post!

When you upvote things from years ago, even though you know it'll just confuse those who posted them - but the content is so good you can't help yourself.

[Ink he/him]

When you quote Sanderson at friends to cheer them up. Even though they don't know the books, there are some good moments and sayings. I tend to speak in quotes when I want to make someone happy.

 

When you try to predict the oaths for every order of radiant. (Most of mine arent very good. Though Edgedancer 4 i think is: I will find those who have been lost)

 

When people ask who you are, you respond "I am a stick" and wait for a reaction.

When it's the evening before you go to church to marry your husband (we married last year in the town hall and decided to put the whole church stuff a year later) and you still check the shard.
(to my defense: everything is ready and prepared)

Congrats! And why not check the Shard?

[AonEne he/him]

Congratulations! Hope everything goes well, without tons of water falling on your heads.

You know your a Sanderfan when you are talking with friends via phone call and your internet is poor so you start talking about what Metal stores internet connection. I personally think it is Raysium. Simply because sometimes I feel that the internet hates me... Or maybe Raysium would store autocorrect... that hates me too...

Hey! You came up with that because of me!

Ishar's internet connection was down, so I asked him if he was filling his duralumin minds...

When you use the Shard to keep yourself occupied during an all-nighter.

And also when you start typing in “all” on your phone, and the first option in your autocorrect suggestions is Alleyverse.
