I apparently need to be more "balanced" in the way I spent my time. . My mom says "it's a week long detox" BUT IM ON VACATION!

Bro, I have been playing a sketchy game with my parent's, trying to get them to let me read some Cosmere on my upcoming week-long camping trip. Then I also have to slow myself down so I actually have books to read while I'm camping. 

Its a hard life being a Sanferfan.

Then you can claim it's sci-fi after explaining Realmatic Theory and stuff  

That is my life, when I'm trying to persuade my parents that they aren't classical "fantasy" books.

My parents don’t care about me reading way to much, and I even convinced my dad to read stormlight.

I got my mom hooked on Mistborn, but she's the one who wants me to read less.

I got my dad hooked on Mistborn, but he mainly reads audio books, and the library stole it back from him when he was halfway through.

I have actually got *thinks* 2 people hooked on Mistborn purely because of the board game. 2/3.

Lucky. I got my dad to read the prologue of WOK but he really just hasn't read enough to like it.

My parents don't even read at all. Like I've never even seen them pick up a book 

The only person in my family that reads is my grandfather, and the books he reads are like completely different.

Hey all, this convo has been pretty off-topic for a while, and would be better suited for the Board Games thread or somewhere else. Thanks!

You know your a Sanderson fan when your friends know at least the eight basic metals by heart bc of the amount you talk abt them

[CoderDrag0n8 He/They]

You know you are a sanderfan when you have an elaborate plot to 'conquer' the cosmere, but really that just involves getting all the books.

[Riino He/Him]

When you see Kaladin's face staring at you out of the Sandwich press.

YKYASFW you unconsciously started using “storms” and “storming” in your head. And it slips out sometimes when you’re really excited. And you get weird looks. And then you recommend Sanderson. And get more weird looks. And then explain in depth about eating metal and self cannibalism and spiking people…

And get more weird looks.

You Know You Are A Sanderfan when you watch KPOP Demon Hunters and think 'Oh thats Kinights Radiant, Shardblades, and BioChromatic Breaths'

YKYASFW you used to not be able to tell the diference between Dawn and Dusk, but now you know that Dusk is bringing the night to his people, and the Dawnshards brought the first light to the world.

No...don't even learn spear for another rank

[Use the Falchion]

When thinking about how to expand the company Dragonsteel is your new Roman Empire. (Most of it really stems from how intertwined they want to be with Brotherwise and what they want Dragonsteel to become. I know it started as a way to financially protect Brandon and his small team, as well as offload the non-writing work he had to do; but depending on how big they want it to grow and do, it can move in a LOT of different directions.) 

 

Also, when you theorize about what the next Story Deck stories could be. As non-spoiler speculation, I think we'll see Story Deck return for Mistborn 8 and again for Stormlight 6.

Oh.

Well, it's still really cool.

You know you’re a Sanderfan when you can’t see a stick without smirking to yourself in your head.

[Riino He/Him]

When you start explaining Realmatic theory to your class.

[Wasing the want of this]

When anytime someone says cognitive or pattern you think they are talking about the cosmere.

[Riino He/Him]

When you only just manage to find time to hop on the Shard in the middle of exams.

You know you're a Sanderfan when you keep almost addressing your Latino friends with, "Hey Gancho," and then you remember that's just a Lopen thing, and not actually part of Latin American culture
