When you visit art museums and keep looking for red ink marks.

[phattemer]

When you're refreshed Sanderson Elimination 20 times in the last 2 minutes, and 86% of the messages in your inbox are notifications from 17th Shard,

[Sarcasm she/her]

When you customize your debit card to have Brandon's face on it. Which does NOT make me weird. Or a stalker.

Or an identity thief.

 

(Though if you're going to steal someone's identity, you could pick a far worse fellow. Just sayin'. )

[Sarcasm she/her]

I am not an identity thief!  What I do is great art... Forgery. You need to accept that the soul of the debit card WANTS to be Brandon Sanderson. You must take that in account. (Emperor's Soul)

When you carry a piece of Chromium in your pocket as a good luck charm.

Or instead of 86%, you actually have literally 86 emails from 17th shard. That happened to me. Today.

You know you are a Sanderfan when you go to a different country that doesn't speak English and decide to get a copy of WoR in that language.  I really want to do that, by the way!

 

I did this with a Stephen King book - Eyes of the Dragon. I bought it in English when I was about 15, then the following year went on holiday to Germany, where I found it in German, in the airport.

When you spent time trying to create a ketek until you finally accept that you're simply too stupid to do so.

[Silverblade5 he/him]

When you create a Ketek, and you're astounded that nobody likes it.

[Elsecaller3414 she/her]

When you want to go to every Sanderson book signing possible, just so you can get signatures!  And ask a whole bunch of questions just for fun...

 

Also when your friend gets to read all the books early and you are almost literally green with envy.

[Sarcasm she/her]

When you knock a jar of ink all over your hands, and your first thought is, "It's Bluefingers! Nalthis is sending me a message via extraterrestrial activity!

Gasp!    that would be awesome!

 

And you also know you're a Sanderfan when you realize that, eventually, you will have to get an entire bookshelf dedicated to his books if you want to get them all.

[Silverblade5 he/him]

When you provide services like lawn care, car wash, etc., and you charge atium for these services.

Guys, there's a kandra among us!  

[Allomancy she/her]

You know you are a sanderfan when you tell the person you like that they are like a potato in a minefield.

[Xaladin he/him]

When before you named your son David, you and your significant other argued over the following list of possible names for your new son:

Talanelat

Sazed

Talaxin

Numuhukumakiaki'aialunamor

Hrathen

Dockson

Adolin

 

(disclaimer: this one does not apply to me)

[Delightful]

When you start reading Firefight . But can't actually borrow the copy :'(

Also when you're sad when someone tells you they don't like Steelheart so much anymore.....but it's because they're reading Harry Potter for the first time. Could be worse.

[Kairos]

When your family goes hiking, reaches the top, decides it wasn't worth it, and you cheer yourself by thinking "journey before destination."

[Allomancy she/her]

Or when you are constantly checking to see if you got upvoted.

[Mistrunner]

When you call burritos "baywraps" and chicken "exotic chicken from Shinovar."

 

Also, rutabaga. Just rutabaga.

[Silverblade5 he/him]

When you cross pollinate certain things from here with other forums, and vice versa

[natc]

When you call burritos "baywraps" and chicken "exotic chicken from Shinovar."

Also, rutabaga. Just rutabaga.

When you also call ducks, turkey, and goose on the dinning table "exotic chicken from Shinovar".

I had an experience with that in my English class... My teacher was asking around what our favorite vegetables were, and the first thing that popped into my head was "rutabaga."  Because of Alcatraz, actually.    Everyone thought I was so exotic.
