You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

[+Ark1002]

You know you are a Sanderfan when...

When you make a pumpkin with the symbol for ruin on it, and already have plans for next year.

When you have at least one Cosmere dream daily.

When you are reading Sanderson instead of doing homework.

[Borio Singaldi he/him]

When you see an article of clothing lying on the floor of the retail store you work at, and the first thing that comes to mind is the quote: "Kaladin reacted with swift, immediate rage." (Oathbringer, Chapter 84, I think.)

When the "Assassin in White" song from the Kaladin album is the theme song playing in your head as you're sprinting from your car to the library because Brandon Sanderson is there.

When you feel a really strong urge to be Kelsier for Halloween even though you can't because you don't have a mistcloak and don't know how to make one.

 

Entirely separate thought: why do we put "when" at the start of all our posts when it's already in the title? By doing that, we're just repeating it when we continue off the title, saying "when when". Not a huge concern, I'm just being pedantic.

[Sunbird she/her]

When you attend a Halloween party and these things happen, in this order:

1) You see someone dressed as Shallan and get her attention by saying, "Shallan Davar?!"

2) You see someone else dressed as a Mistborn and mention the Shallan you saw earlier while talking to him.

3) You see Shallan again and call her over to introduce her to the Mistborn.

When you do this in class...

When you do another cosmere pumpkin, second year in a row.

[+Extesian he/him]

When, for the first time in your life, you're regularly voluntarily doing housework because it gives you the chance to catch up on Shardcast.

[Reckless Reader]

When you refresh the library website every five minutes to see if your hold on TFE is any closer to being ready.

Seriously. It's a problem.

[Ghanderflaffle she/her]

When you give someone a "To Read Booklist" that is almost nothing but Sanderson.

[Ink he/him]

When you’re rereading HoA and Sazed mentions something off with Uretaru and you instantly think “an Unmade” then realize that it’s the wrong series...

When you track how much you use your phone and 4 hours a day is on the shard... I spend 5 hours on my phone.

Edit: when they keep bringing up 16 in HoA and you realize just how much foreshadowing sanderson uses.

When the only thing you start your text conversations with a certain friend who is finally reading Sanderson is "Have you read any more yet?" and are surprised every time when they say "no, I haven't had time." The difference in time prioritization is shocking.

[+Ark1002]

When your plans you have been laying all year come together, and three of your friends have started Sanderson in a week.

Infected count:

Infected: Two; In the works: Three; Possible: 13; Attempts: 143

[Ghanderflaffle she/her]

When you check out Rithmatist just to force it on your mother to read and she finishes it in a day.

Me: "See? Good wasn't it?"

Mom: "Yea, now I can your need for a sequel"

Me: "Alright, now I'll check you out Steelheart, have fun!"

[Blessed peace he/him]

When you write your name in vorin women script. 

When all your holds in the library are sanderson books

When you give your mother Alcatraz book.

Not any cosmere books???

Also, I've been trying to get my mom to read Harry Potter for so long. Book 1 has been sitting on her nightstand for a year.

 

Edit: I just ran across this picture:

(I dunno where it'll insert)

and I remember I first saw it before reading SA and thought it was actual, legitimate gibberish.

And then afterwards, I don't even think about the fact that these are not words that are usually in the English language.

Well,  i wasn't around give her every thing i read, plus she is already hooked on SA and he cosmere

When all the above makes perfect sense. 

When you open an Amazon account  just to buy the books 

When you have the books in print and ebooks. 

Oh,the thing is tjat the cosmere is almost officially for adults while Alcatraz and rithmatist are not.

When you are PATIENTLY waiting for TLM

When you get your younger sister to read Rithmatist and she likes it. (I have a feeling Cosmere may be a bit much for her. She’s a bit... simple minded)

How old is your sister? Cause my younger brother read Stormlight at around 11, and he followed it fairly well. I bet your sister could follow, so long as you answer questions (that don't spoil the plot of course)

[Ink he/him]

12. She, again, isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, and I feel like SA would intimidate her. Maybe Elantris or MB first. After rithmatist and reckoners. She checked out SH and Rithmatist from our library.

[Darth Woodrack he/him]

When you feel like you need to take a break from 17th shard because you can't stop yourself from getting on. Like for example, I'm at Science Olympiad.I mean, I'm supposed to be studying, so...

[+Ark1002]

Oh, that is what I'm forgetting. Science Olympiad.

When you drop everything and make sure you have no plans so you can go to a signing.

[Darth Woodrack he/him]

When you go to your friends house and drag him by the ear to science olympiad so you aren't a sad and lonely person on 17th shard, but instead have a friend.

When you say SH, I hope it's not referring to Secret History, because no one should read that one first.

[Ink he/him]

By SH, i mean steelheart. I kinda spaced on Secret History. That would be bad to start with

[Reckless Reader]

So I found this a while ago and it's amAzing!

No big spoilers, but you'll probably only enjoy it if you've read Mistborn.

You know your a Sanderson fan when one of your life goals is to say something so witty...so insightful that your post gets the required upvotes to get the heart banner and red outline around the it! I don't know if it has a official name, but I think of it as entering the 17th Shard hall of fame.
