You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

[SmurfAquamarineBodies he/him]

When you wonder if you should make a foil lined hat so no rioters or soothers can influence your emotions.

 

Oh. So no-one else has done this?

[Titan Arum]

When your colleague (whom I like to call "Prof"   because he used to be a professor at Georgetown) blames you for not getting enough sleep and being unproductive at work because he got sucked into reading Mistborn: The Final Empire all night long (at my recommendation, of course!).

When you give a copy of Mistborn to your band director because she's a great nerd.

I tried to warn her too.

Me- Just a thing about this, its pretty violent and gory if you don't like that don't read.

Her- I think I can handle it c:

Me- -thinking- honey you got a big storm comin'

That awkward moment when you find your seventh copy of The Way of Kings under your bed...

How, why, 

Do you have four sets and are missing one, or do you have seven pairs?

I have them in different formats, and every one serves a different purpose. I think I have an eBook, an audio, a signed copy, a hardback, a really battered on that was my first, one that I lend out to people, and one that I use for normal reading that's covered in sticky notes and highlighting and graffiti (Mainly Allomantic symbols, glyphs, and Aons  ). I'm kind of OCD when it comes to books    I only have 4 sets of Words of Radiance. It's kind of disappointing.

When you see the SEL edition of the Ford Escape on the road, and it reads "Escape SEL", and you think to yourself "... you know, that's harder than you'd think..."

 

When you see license plates that are palindromic (ala "555 ILI", "969 GJG"), and think "those would make good Vorin license plates"

 

When you intentionally post in the new thread so that you'll keep getting updates from all the lovely people on the forum who make you laugh.

[Sarcasm she/her]

When you notice that Harry Potter's a seeker, and Ron's a keeper, and immediately comb through the entire Harry Potter series, swearing that all Quidditch players are Allomancers or Feruchemists.

I can think of a better one.

When you reccomend Perfect State to your english teacher...

Excellent!

 

Now tell him you're with with the Woden and this was your way of telling him the Truth.

[Xaladin he/him]

When after you clock out, you go back to get something you forgot, and see a coworker's copy of The Well of Ascension laying on a table. An indeterminate amount of time later, you look up from the book and realize that your coworker would like his book back.

 

On an unrelated note: the following happened today:

I was at the HBLL library at BYU, and the library staff wanted some input on which search engine was better. There was a computer on a table and I was asked to search for a book or author or subject or whatever on both search engines to see which engine I thought was better. So I searched "Brandon Sanderson," and the first result on one of the engines was Dragonsteel. I thought that was interesting. The first result on the other search engine was Firefight (which I think makes a little more sense).

[Delightful]

When you question the Catholic Church for ever having ties to the Inquisition

You need to be a Sanderfan for that?

So I reccomended Mistborn to a friend, who reccomended it to another, this first friend has also read Way of Kings and hooray for more Sanderfans I know IRL!!!

And you know you're a Sanderfan when you're in a bookshop and a non-Sanderfan friend looks to see which sanderson books are on the shelf for you.

[Dankworth he/him]

When you wonder if you should make a foil lined hat so no rioters or soothers can influence your emotions.

 

It might work, but be sure that your foil is made of pure aluminum. Almost all rolls of foil are, but watch out for those irritating impurities that make metals Allomantically useless.

 

When the white board at work asks employees to recommend a new holiday and you write "Koloss Head-Munching Day."

[Kairos]

When you get ecstatic about drawing the setup of a room on a whiteboard, and start calling it the catechism of the seventh floor tile, volume the second.

True story. Fortunately, there's another Sanderfan in the class, and he totally got it.

I mustn't be a sanderfan because I don't get it.

 When anyone who carefully searches your room will find the Catechism of the Back of the Religious Painting--written in an obscure, coded shorthand incomprehensible to all save him who wrote it, of course.

 Minor Words of Radiance spoilers

It's a reference to the Diagram, a set of instructions followed by one of the secret societies in the Stormlight Archive. Excerpts from the Diagram were used as the chapter leads for part of Words of Radiance, ending with notes like "from the Diagram, Book of the Second Desk Drawer" or "West Wall Psalm of Wonders."

Bigger spoiler

It was found written all over every surface in the society leader's room one morning.

You might consider adding a spoiler tag on that, just to be safe.

[Curiosity he/him]

If indeed Kobold King is Brandon Sanderson, then Brandon is very excited about dinosaurs and writes A LOT MORE than even previously thought. And the Reckoner's RP would be... sort of canon?

Done.

When you're playing carpetball and can't get the white ball to bounce at the right angle, so you decide sadly that you wouldn't make a good Rithmatist. Geometry is harder when you have to just imagine the lines.

For those who don't know what carpetball is, it's like a cross between bowling and pool. I've only ever seen it played at church events.

Better than concussionball, I'm sure. Bowling and tennis should never have been crossed.
