gjustice99 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 I understand, trying to not spoil is like..... avoiding the temptation to have a cookie, I'm actually lending out three books (WoK, Steel heart AND Mistborn) you know you're a sanderfan when you compare cookies to.... well anything really I'm lending Steelheart and just got Mistborn back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traceria Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) I've done this! I just started one of my friends off with Mistborn...I didn't, however, tell him about the vortex of awesomeness and time that he will be sucked into when he finds 17s. It's funny, every time I see him, I ask him where he is in the Final Empire, and he's such a slow reader, it's all I can do not to spoil. I'm pretty sure there's a Sanderson missionary page somewhere....under a completely different topic name, though. I will see if I can find it. Edit: Here it is!!! (Though it is specific to the Stormlight Archive and is in that section of the forum.) Edited January 22, 2015 by traceria 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawToast225 Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 You know you're a Sanderfan when your boss only likes you because you have read Sandersons books and can keep up with him in discussions about them. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Hey boss, I read this awesome theory about Hoid today!" "Really? Tell me all about it!"

Titan Arum Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 When your colleagues ask you why you haven't gotten a haircut for months or trimmed your beard in weeks, and you reply "So that I can have a realistic Vasher costume at a book signing." (And we then proceeded to talk about Brandon's books for about 20 minutes after they asked what a Vasher was.) 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the winter system Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delightful Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titan Arum Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share 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!
