You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

[LinkasZelda]

...when you curse out loud by the names of gods in the cosmere.

"Storms!"
"Austre!"
"By the Lord Ruler!"

(The first is probably my most common)

When you say Bondsmith instead of blacksmith in a speaking test... and it takes you half an hour to realise it's wrong! Luckily it was just a test for the exam

When you fall asleep while reading, and the book is large enough to make a semi-decent pillow.

[GreyPilgrim he/him]

Whenever you think of Shards when someone says the name of one.

[Kasimir he/him]

Whenever you spend most of your job time typing "These words are accepted" in response to submissions.

[Baine he/him]

THESE WORDS ARE ACCEPTED.

[Delightful]

When you're going on and on about Brandon and his books to a friend who asks if you're "one of his biggest fans". And then you say "no" because you're thinking of the people who spend hours and hours and hours eg trying to work out what's hidden in the map of Roshar, or FTL based on Realmatics. And then half an hour later, you realise that as a member of Brandon's official fansite who posts basically daily, and having read most of his books at least twice, you really should have said 'yes.'    

 

Hooray for relativity and extraordinarily dedicated 17th Sharders!

[LinkasZelda]

When you text so much about Sanderson-related things that your phone auto corrects normal words into things like "Adonalsium", "Roshar", etc

[Scriptorian he/him]

When this is one of your favorite threads to read.

[Kobold King he/him]

When someone says something odd and you worry they're giving a Death Rattle. Or when you're certain that playing Monopoly makes you feel the Thrill.

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

When you're disappointed by being sick because it doesn't give you magic powers.

[Kobold King he/him]

When you're disappointed by being sick because it doesn't give you magic powers.

 

When you read the previous post as "disappointed by being stick" and start typing up an angry response.

[GreyPilgrim he/him]

When you're disappointed by being sick because it doesn't give you magic powers.

When you know what that is a reference to, despite it being an unwritten novel.

[Baine he/him]

 when you're certain that playing Monopoly makes you feel the Thrill.

 

Or when you check your family members for spikes or Odious influence. (during monopoly)

"Go to Braize. Do not pass go. Do not collect two hundred clearmarks."

Why oh why isn't there a Cosmere themed Monopoly set?

[GreyPilgrim he/him]

Why oh why isn't there a Cosmere themed Monopoly set?

You know you're a Sanderfan when you really want to make one of these now.

[Observer]

When you not only have MAG, but also have been using its gameplay techniques to stage cagematches between built-in story characters like Vin, and extrapolated ones like Szeth. The conclusion is that Szeth is overpowered, and then you spend more time than most people will ever have trying to come up with a reasonable balance.

[Gabriele she/her]

When someone says something stupid and you think, Airsick Lowlander.

[Kobold King he/him]

You know you're a Sanderfan when you really want to make one of these now.

The board: different property colors represented by Shardworlds. You can "Invest" in any of the Shardworld locations, or the magic systems (which function like the train stations). The center of the board is a map of Shadesmar.

The money: little plastic spheres. The game comes with a little transparent pot and a light that makes them look infused.

The cards: various Chance cards that have effects like "Splintered" or "ODIUM REIGNS".

The pieces: metal tokens in the following shapes. A sword, a cloak, a spike, a stamp, and a stick.

Er, back on topic: You know you're a Sanderfan not only when use the word "Sanderfan", but when you derail a thread talking about how you know you're a Sanderfan because you're making plans for a Sanderson-inspired version of Monopoly. Kolo?

[Shardbearer he/him]

When you start to feel twitchy because you haven't had your 17th shard forum fix.

[Baine he/him]

When you start to hear voices after accidentally stabbing yourself with a paperclip.

[LinkasZelda]

When you start to hear voices after accidentally stabbing yourself with a paperclip.

When you fiddle with your piercings and wonder if you could have somehow gained Hemalurgic powers.

[TheArcanist he/him]

When you suddenly get much better at sparring at your martial arts club and realize that the reason behind it is that you've been listening to Zahel. When you are suddenly much more proficient at dealing with weapons because you treat each one coming at you like it's a Shardblade

[king of nowhere]

"Go to Braize. Do not pass go. Do not collect two hundred clearmarks."

Why oh why isn't there a Cosmere themed Monopoly set?

I want it!

 

And by that I mean, I'd be willing to pay a ludicrous amount of cash to get one. Marketing guys, hear me out!

 

It goes without saying that I am a sanderfan because I would be willing to shell good money for what would basically amount to a monopoly with different text.

[TheArcanist he/him]

When you suddenly become more popular at school because you're acting like Lightsong or Hoid.
