Slater he/him Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 When your go to response when your girlfriend is mad at you is "um..you are intelligent and articulate?" and when SHE'S like "You forgot the compliment" 7
Delightful Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 When you're really excited to find Towers of Midnight in an old Jerusalem bookshop though you haven't got past Eye Of the World, and when you friend immediately recognises Brandon's name on the cover and understands your excitement, despite the fact that she hasn't read any of his books (yet) and Robert Jordan's name is printed larger.... 3
Kobold King he/him Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 When your writing style is compared to Brandon Sanderson's. (This is my friend who actually discovered Mistborn but hasn't read anything else by him.) Also when you worry your magic in a story is too close to the Surgebinding. I thought I was being original but after thinking about it for a moment, it is completely a rip off of spren. Well, sort of. Post on Creator's Corner and I can lend my thoughts. The idea of objects possessing souls, and being able to work magic by interacting with those souls, is as old as tribal shamanism. I'm half-convinced that Surgebinding is based off of animism. 1

Cheese United he/him Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 You know you're a Sanderfan whn you kick up the ashes in a firepit and think that you're Ruin encouraging the ashmounts to destroy the skaa. And you know you're a fan when you don't consider thoughts like that to be weird
Titan Arum Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) When you get THREE random people to put Sanderson's books on their must-read list when you're talking on a DC weather forum about how sad and upset you are that you didn't get any snow from the Blizzard of 2015, but Philly will get a foot of snow which ultimately means 1) Brandon had to cancel the signing event (the first one I had ever planned to go to...and dressed as Vasher with Nightblood to boot!), and thus 2) I won't get to drive up and see the foot of snow on the ground, like a true Snow Bro would want to do! Once people asked me who the author and what the book was, I decided to tell the virtues of Brandon and his work. So the moral of the story is, sell how awesome Brandon's books are at every turn of life! [Edited b/c apparently typing "b )" is an emoji with sunglasses...] Edited January 26, 2015 by Titan Arum 4

The Rooster he/him Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) We were unpacking books after moving this week and My wife Put Alloy of Law alphabetically first of my hardcopy Brando Sando books... Nonono. You know your a sanderfan when you put your BS books in order of Cosmere Timeline . Edited January 26, 2015 by The Rooster 7
Cheese United he/him Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 You know you're a Sanderfan when you hear about the 'Spike Weekend' at Fleet Feets and think that the DA is going to have a field day with this one.. And not the particularly safe kind either. Also, Fleet. 6
Fatebreaker he/him Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 When you try and sell anti-logic talismans to your calculus class. When you drive by a company called "Ati Physical Therapy," and you can't help but think of the tagline: Ati Physical Therapy; Our accupuncture is so good, you'll leave feeling like a whole new person! This has given me several fantastic new business ideas. To the Spike-Lab! 2
Slater he/him Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 When you try to avoid responsibility with the excuse, "I try to avoid having thoughts. They lead to other thoughts, and—if you're not careful—those lead to actions. Actions make you tired. I have this on rather good authority from someone who once read it in a book. " 6
king of nowhere Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 When you realize you feel inconsciously trusting towards your prime minister because he's using the leadership style of raoden. And once you recognize that you wish you could read a chapter from his pow to see if he's sincere or faking. 3
Unhinged he/him Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 When your biggest achievement for the past week is finally having one of your topics become hot, hooray for compounding.
SmurfAquamarineBodies he/him Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 When ou swallow a bit of gold while doing a wash up at a gold mine but sadly realise, 'no, I'm no an Allomancer.'
Dankworth he/him Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 When one of your relatives makes a Stick joke at a picnic even though they've never read Words of Radiance and you realize that you've referenced the Cosmere so much that the people around you make the references automatically, even if they don't understand them. (Kind of like when I was little; I repeated and laughed at the adult jokes I had seen on Dad's favorite movies, without the faintest idea what they meant.) 5
hoidhunter he/him Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 When your wife and coworkers know almost as much about the cosmere as you do...even though they've never read any of the books... When you read your newborn son so much Sanderson that his first words may end up being "Mistborn" or "Life before death."... When you come home from work and your wife asks how you day was...and your reply is..."Well some the other members on the forum really liked one of my theories..." 7
Delightful Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 When you feel mingled joy and frustration waking into a bookstore to find no Firefight or adult Sanderson books, but you do see Alcatraz in print for the first time! (But not the first one . Can they be read out of order?)

My wife is not a huge fan of that answer from me. Everything in this post is accurate except the reading to my kid because I'm childless as of yet. Edited January 30, 2015 by BreathTaker
Renegade he/him Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 When your friend shouts, "YOLO!" and you reply, "Ah, but what if you become a Returned?" 8
Kobold King he/him Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 When your friend shouts, "YOLO!" and you reply, "Ah, but what if you become a Returned?" "Or a resurrection Epic, and you're not factoring in Cognitive shadows at all. Really man, check your facts better next time." 5
Curiosity he/him Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 When you feel mingled joy and frustration waking into a bookstore to find no Firefight or adult Sanderson books, but you do see Alcatraz in print for the first time! (But not the first one . Can they be read out of order?) I found it first in *gasp* a library. Sort of weird, right?
Blaze1616 he/him Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 When you feel mingled joy and frustration waking into a bookstore to find no Firefight or adult Sanderson books, but you do see Alcatraz in print for the first time! (But not the first one . Can they be read out of order?) To my knowledge they are a continuous story, with each book having a resolution to the problem that gets brought up in the beginning. I have not read them though, but that is the impression I get having done some no-spoil research about them.
traceria she/her Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 When you feel mingled joy and frustration waking into a bookstore to find no Firefight or adult Sanderson books, but you do see Alcatraz in print for the first time! (But not the first one . Can they be read out of order?) Alas, they must be read in order. Hopefully there will come a day (late this year) when you see the reprinted versions from the beginning in this same bookstore!
