YKYASF when you have a list of books to read, and you throw in several rereads of the Cosmere because you can’t go too long without reading it.

Serveral? Wow, perfect.

[Lord Spirit he/him]

YKYASF when you make an account on here and on the coppermind and are active 

[Hmmm lies she/her]

YKYASF when you are reading any non-cosmere fantasy book and wondering what Shard is on the planet and how the Investiture is manifesting the way it does.

[Authorspren]

YKYASF when you realize that the Force in Star Wars is a Connection-based Invested art acquired by bonding midichlorians.

I have found my last several D&D characters have been named after Cosmere Characters. Ladrian, Kaladin, Sarene, using last names like Colms, a fey character named Syl.

YKYASW at a summer camp, the one attribute they say about you at the end is how quickly Elantris was gone and read... twice.

Spoiler

You willing admit to your class that you are making a comic book about farting pancakes

 

[Duxredux he/him]

YKYASFW you take breaks from homework to write essays on Realmatic theory and deep Rosharan history. It's becoming a problem, especially when I stop to look up a specific passage...

[Use the Falchion]

YKYASFW you see that Brandon's on a writing retreat in his latest update, and you use that information to modify your latest sheet of a theoretical work schedule for the man for the next five years. 

(The immediate breakdown is that if Brandon can get to 85-86% by this next update, then he has a solid chance of finishing the first draft of Stormlight 5 by the end of November. (Roughly 6 weeks at 2% and then one week at 3%, assuming he doesn't sprint the last 5% or so in a single night.) That gives Sanderson the month of December to choose between a few things: 

1. Immediately start Draft 3.0

2. Start another project, such as Horneater or a smaller, less intensive project that can either be completed in a month or dropped/postponed without any harm. (My preferred choice, with Mulholland Homebrew's Sinister Shop of Secret Pets as the preferred project.)

3. Revise something else, such as The Apocalypse Guard. (If he could do this and Mulholland due to finishing Stormlight 5 early, I'd be living my best Sanderson life.) 

4. Take a break, recharge, and enjoy a video game or two and increased family time. (The most likely outcome.)

Granted, the above most likely isn't going to happen. I think it's more likely that Sanderson will bet to 83-84%, which puts him back on schedule with ample time to do a quick revision of this last chunk in December as opposed to ahead of schedule. Stormlight 5 is a big book, so getting that far ahead in about a week isn't very likely. It's still fun speculation though!)

[NerdyAarakocra They/Them]

YKYASFW you're drafting a lineup of fantasy characters to play basketball and your ace-in-the-hole is Kaladin Stormblessed

[The Stormfather He/Him]

YKYASW you are designing a new Dnd class, and you have to mentally restrain yourself from naming it Windrunner.

[The Aspiring Archivist any pronouns]

YKYASFW you call depression a "certified Kaladin moment."
