You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

[king of nowhere]

I was curious, so I decided to search Amazon with just the word "saga" in the search field.  In just the first four pages somewhere between 1/3 to 1/2 of the covers are either scantily clad men and/or women (some covers have both) or obviously chick-lit of the fantasy/supernatural variety.  The other covers either look like they fall in the fantasy, horror, or graphic novel and/or manga categories.

 

In my experience, that's no different from any other fantasy-related search. remove fantasy/supernatural, and it is no different from any other search. I blame marketing strategies. Sometimes I think I'd buy a book with a blank cover simply for how refreshing it would be that no one is trying to trick me into buying it.

When you don't have anything ot read, so Reread the Old Sanderson Elimination Games.

[Curiosity he/him]

When you're playing Families and you decide that your top choice is Peter Ahlstrom, since no one will know who that is. 

[Delightful]

When a friend tells you they're going to the library and your immediate reaction is "go borrow Words of Radiance!"

[Kasimir he/him]

When the medications your doctor gives you are actual beads, and you swallow them and pretend you're burning pewter (I wish >>)

My wife's steroids for her RA have Pewter on the cap. 

 

When you plan on making Chouta for dinner and everyone in your house is actually curious to how it will come out.

When you plan on making Chouta for dinner and everyone in your house is actually curious to how it will come out.

Definitely a fan if you read this and also really want to know how it turned out!  (If the answer is well, I'd love that recipe!)

[BreathTaker he/him]

I will let you know. It will either be Monday or Tuesday. I'm thinking of buying some thin strips of beef, breading it and pan frying it. Make gravy from the grease because yum. Cooking up some brown rice and putting it all on some Pita and going to town on it. I'm still up in the air as to what meat to use but right now beef sounds about right, maybe some thin pork chops. Can anyone find the passage where The Lopen gets his and describes it so I can remember what else I need? 

 

Also, what kind of beer would go good with Herdazian food? Probably not Horneater ale (Either an Imperial Pale Ale or Imperial Stout, Idon't remember if it's dark or light.) Maybe an easy Pale Ale or even... no, I won't do a Lager... Brown Ale and Scoth Ale might be colse to Horneater status too now that I think about it.

 

Edit: What Earth- equivalent culture is the closest to Herdazian?

When you go to the post-office to pick up a package containing hardcover copies of the mistborn trilogy and the man behind the counter asks if you ordered bars of metal. And then you start hysterically laughing 'cause Allomancy. Meanwhile the guy behind the counter is cracking up too because he thinks you're laughing at his terrible joke.

[Shardcellist]

When you dress up as Elend Venture for Halloween just to take books on political theory trick-or-treating. Along with Cosmere books disguised as obsolete books on political theory, just in case the obligators are watching.

[Crystin Radiant]

When you have to make a periodic table of the elements, for chemestry and when you come across Tin, Copper, Gold, and the other allomantic metals, are tempted to draw the allomantic symbols on the respective index cards...

When you see the word Blackthorn and immediately think of Dalinar.

Well, the Herdazians are pretty much based off of Hispanics, so Tequila. 

 

And if you wanted it to be accurate...http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/13137-rosharans-are-cannibals-sort-of/?hl=cannibals

[BreathTaker he/him]

No, no tequila for this half-mexican. I guess a Tecate or Modelo would go good with it...

 

And Storm it Fate! I was hoping that wouldn't come up hahaha.

I don't know if enough of chouta is described to make it, but good luck trying.

The closes earth-equivalent to herdazians are spanish or perhaps mexicans.

[Fatebreaker he/him]

Or you could go with my kind of hispanic and choose rum. The unofficial national drink of Puerto Rico.

 

And generally when I'm involved cannibalism always comes up. Probably why I'm in the Alley...

 

Completely unrelated, would any one like a cookie? It's a new alloy recipe

Thanks but I'm already a supporter. 

[Fatebreaker he/him]

You know you're a Sanderfan when you check alley ways for baking supplies.

[Kobold King he/him]

When you consider creating a fictional supervillain named Babaji.

[Melaan]

WiFi is a powerful force. That is why we titled our network name 'Stormlight'.

[Curiosity he/him]

When you're upset that "The username 'Dalinar' is already in use." 

 

AND "The username "Nahel" is already in use."

 

Edit: I ended up settling for "Nahelehan".

When somebody asks you if you are Harry Potter or Count Dracula(I was a Mistborn in a mistcloak), and you begin to compare vampires to inquisitors.

You know you're a Sanderfan when you write posts on the 17th Shard which are longer than your college essays.

I hope you got lots of candy and metal shavings this Halloween!  

[BreathTaker he/him]

When you consider working out just so you don't look like a Windrunner whose been eating nothing but Herdazian food for Comicon. 

 

Also when you spend 45 minutes trying to think up a new Xbox live gamertag because all the good ones that fit are taken. (I settled on Stormblessed91 if anyone wants to add me)
