You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

[Fatebreaker he/him]

When you worry about work and school cutting in to your forum time.

 

When you see this mask and immediately think 'wow, someone's hemallurgy has gone spectacularly wrong'

 

Shoddy workmanship. Not DA approved or affiliated.

[Crystin Radiant]

When you say "I am offend" and your brother replies with "I am disappoint," and you're sad because he does not get the reference.

[Left he/him]

I can think of the solution to that   I've been pestering my dad for ages to read some of Sanderson's stuff but he's a really slow reader so he never has. He did really enjoy how Brandon finished the WoT though and enjoyed the signing I dragged him too so I'll probably get him to eventually.

[king of nowhere]

When, one bright Sunday morning, you, having seen this Sanderson guy mentioned (and, based on the surname, wondered if he's some distant relative) pick up The Final Empire, read it, and think "This book. I like it. ANOTHER" [insert appropriate Thor gif here]. 

 

And then, almost exactly one week later, you realise you have read every published cosmere work.

 

(I'm not going to survive the wait, am I?)

You are telling me you read the two volumes of the stormlight archive (1000+ pages each, and big ones), the mistborn trilogy + alloy of law (2500 pages total, albeit on smaller sheets), elantris and warbreaker (almost other 1000 pages) in one week?

Were you burning bendalloy or draining your zincmind?

 

Anyway,  what you can do to fill the wait is read his non-cosmere books. they also are good, should keep you busy for a few more days

I can read all his books, Cosmere and non-Cosmere in 3 days. I have done so on several different occasions. Thought this is when I don't need to work or go to school. If I do and I don't take longer than 14 hours doing such things then it takes me a whole week to finish them. Yay for insomnia. 

[Surgebound Rainspren he/him]

You know your friends are sanderfans when the tackle you after you borrow the last copy of firefight.

This is why I am a happy person. It takes weeks for me to read one book the size of Words of Radiance. Of course, I psycho-analyze everything. This usually reduces the enjoyment of a fictional book, but Sanderson writes books that do not lose enjoyment with analysis.

[gjustice99 she/her]

When your assignment is to put a message to be decoded by another student through DNA you use " there's always another secret"

[Sirce Luckwielder he/him]

When your friend, who has never shown an emotion other than sarcasm, hugs you in the middle of class when he finds out that you sre letting him borrow your signed copy 17 of Firefight.

When you write a bigger essay for the 17th Shard than your college English class.

I'm a fast reader. It is both a blessing and a curse at times...I knew seeking out the Old Magic was a bad idea...

[Sirce Luckwielder he/him]

When you know that there has to be an afterlife because if Brandon died before he completed the cosmere then the world would literally end.

[Left he/him]

Finally got around to listening to Ookla the Mok, my goodness, I understand now Peter! They are indeed amazing

[Brightness Random she/her]

When the first act of any road trip is banning you from talking about anything even faintly Brandon Sanderson related.

 

When, in your woodshop class, you consider making a life size model of a bridge from Stormlight Archive.

 

When your friend is says something along the lines of "...but I'll survive," and you immediately respond with, "You'd get along well with Kelsier".

[Delightful]

When you're impressions of a book fair are

"Why are they selling WoR and not WoK?" (Seriously!!!)

"They have Rithmatist!"

"Why does no one here sell Firefight??"

And then you buy the 3 volumes Dangerous Women has been split into even though you only want Brandon's story.

Maybe that last just makes me a bookworm.....I can live with that

[Mestiv he/him]

When you can't focus in work, because there is unread Brandons e-book sitting on your desktop...

[yafeshan he/him]

When you start advertising Sanderson books in every forum you follow. When you check all bookshop/library you know for Sanderson books.

[BreathTaker he/him]

Yeah I get really sad when I go to the used book store here in town because there is never a complete series of anything there. Last time I went they only had Well of Ascension for Brandon works. It seems there are a lot of Sanderfans in Tucson because no one ever has the books, yet no one plays the MAG.... unless Sparkles goes to all the bookmans and buys all the Sanderson...

[Curiosity he/him]

When there's someone you were walking behind goes ahead and jaywalks, but you stay and wait for the light, and you tell yourself, "Hmph, so you're a Skybreaker now?"

[Kobold King he/him]

When there's someone you were walking behind goes ahead and jaywalks, but you stay and wait for the light, and you tell yourself, "Hmph, so you're a Skybreaker now?"

 

Only if you insist on running down the jaywalker and murdering him with your Shardblade.

[Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her]

When your idea of a perfect day is reading Way of Kings without any interruptions

[Delightful]

When your day is made by finding Hebrew Mistborn .

And you're nonetheless disappointed that they don't also have HoA and AoL.

But mostly super excited.

[Shlee]

When the best part of Valentine's day was getting a new laptop charger from the US so you could get back on the forums

[gjustice99 she/her]

when one of your weekly vocabulary words in English class is esoteric and you immediately think of Truthwatchers.

[Omniscience]

When you're taking an exam and notice several palindromic words and wonder if your professor is secretly an ardent in disguise.

[traceria she/her]

You see this article about a Vast Bed of Metal Balls being found and immediately wonder if flooding the Pits of Hathsin caused these to gather on the ocean floor.

 

(Edit to add: The thought occurred before reading the article, which actually goes on to say what metal they're made of and the size (softball-sized).)
