You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

My advice is that after she reads the first book, tell her that you'll see Kelsier again. This is technically true, but it will leave her hoping for a happily ever after. Sanderson doesn't do happily ever afters. Also, be sure to be in the room when they finish "The hero of ages." Trust me, the reaction is to die for.

I'm sorry, but I am in STRONG disagreement with you there. Never under any circumstances do you hint at a plot twist. it will, not might, but will ruin the moment. especially since this is one of the most shocking moments in the series. it's also completely reliant on being certain that you will never see Kelsier again. That is what makes that moment so incredible!

that being said, you should totally play with your sibling's emotions as they read. My brother is reading HoA, and it is so much fun to drop things like, "you think that plot twist was shocking, just wait until Spook turns out to be the long lost heir of the lord ruler!"

I know, I was considering telling her that sliiiiiight spoiler but I'll wait and see what happens. I wish someone had told me all this when I read them for the first time and I wouldn't have been heartbroken for years!

don't. The heartbreak is what makes the reveal so sweet. Also, slight spoiler!?

Yeah, @not an Evil Librarian there was a kid in my class who claimed that syl disappears forever at some point at the book. I read through, fearing for the moment I would be heartbroken. It never happened. I was so storming mad at him.

Yeah, I meant the fact a certain person is there in Secret History? She plans to read them all and I don't want to spoil a thing so I agree that I won't tell her anything, just let it all unravel right in front of her innocent eyes.

This was a while back, but YKYASW you hurt your shoulder really bad and your one year old brother tries to unplug the heating pad. You plug it in and the next time he attempts to unplug it, you put your leg up and say, "You cannot have my pain."

Oh. I didn’t even think of that! (some show of my love of Sanderson there .) Next time. 

[+Doomstick he/him]

that's what I did when I had chalk, I had a full-on rithmatic duel

[Rebecca she/her]

That sounds epic. I would totally do that if I had someone to do it with.

YKYASW:

You yell at sticks.

You are mad that tumblr still allows pictures of safehands. (the horror! the obscenity!)

You have a very irrational fear of baked goods.

The phrase "took your/my Breath away" terrifies you.

You pretend to summon shardblades.

When you stub your toe, you scream something about one of the heralds or "RUST AND RUIN"

You have numerous bracelets metalminds.

You make up Ideals and swear them.

You named your pet after a spren.

You have your background/profile pic on your laptop/tablet/phone/account set to something sanderson.

[Shallan&Pattern she/her]

YES YES YES!!!!! SO ME!!!

*Nods*

I must be a sanderfan then

[AonEne he/him]

We probably all are, by those standards

[Ethan_sedai he/him]

When you don’t have any bookmarks in books that aren’t Sanderson.

[AonEne he/him]

Do you mean Internet bookmarks or not? I can't tell

[Ethan_sedai he/him]

Non-internet bookmarks, are only exclusively for Sanderson books.

Internet bookmarks, mostly Sanderson things. Although, I have more tabs open on my computer than I have bookmarks, and all of those are Sanderson related things.

Ha, this is totally me. Anytime anyone offers me a real cookie, I have a split second of suspicion before remembering they haven’t even read Sanderson.

You don’t need to read Sanderson for the DA to get to you

TUBA cookies are certified Hemalurgy-safe, if you're on the hunt for deliciousness!

But they don't taste nearly as good, the spikes are flavored.
