ChickenPlague he/him Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 Probably not. Maybe passed one on the street, but there aren't probaly enough in our country for me to meet them.
Kaymyth she/her Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 Have any of you ever wondered if we have met another Sharder, but just didn't realize? How would we know? It's unlikely. Though while I know where some of you are, there are quite a few whose cities of residence are a mystery to me.
Kobold King he/him Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 Just got slapped by the Bishop of the Diocese of Forth Worth and then there was cake. Today was a good day!
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 Just got slapped by the Bishop of the Diocese of Forth Worth and then there was cake. Today was a good day! Were those two things connected?
Kobold King he/him Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 Were those two things connected? Official Confirmation into the Anglican church, so yes. Yes they were.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 Official Confirmation into the Anglican church, so yes. Yes they were. I was unaware that Confirmation involved slapping.
Kobold King he/him Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 I was unaware that Confirmation involved slapping. More a light pat on the face as you leave the altar, but it's more fun to say I've been slapped by a Bishop.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 More a light pat on the face as you leave the altar, but it's more fun to say I've been slapped by a Bishop. Agreed. You should go with that.
The Honor Spren she/her Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 (edited) Does it count if the only Sharder I know in person is my mother? I think it counts. Meeting a Sharder who didn't give birth to me would be awesome, though. I was wondering the same thing. The only other people I know that read Sanderson are some of my mom's friend's husbands. I dream of a Sandercon. Edit: I just checked the map. Apparently, the closest sharder to me is KChan, who lives in Tampa, which is about 3 hours away. *sigh* Edited March 6, 2016 by The Honor Spren

I dream of a Sandercon. We all do. A place where Sharders can debate the merits of covering their safehands, compare mistcloaks and mistcoats, and try to Awaken their souvenir straw men while dining on chouta.

There could be a guild luncheon and everyone could have a tshirt with their username and profile picture on it. People would randomly quote the books and everyone would get the reference. 2

Curious Anamaximder he/him Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 14 upvotes away from being on the top 50 Rep. Sigh.... My dream may never come true. 5
Voidus Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Mrs Voidus is on the shard? Under that name? Very occasionally and mostly just on the Reckoners RP.
Arraenae Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 If the Sharder's Stalking Guide map is accurate, I may be living about 30 minutes away from someone here. I wonder what the chances are that I've seen a Sharder in RL before...
Sunbird she/her Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 After reading all y'all's posts about not knowing other Sharders in person, I feel spoiled. I'm one of the lucky people who lives in Provo, Utah, where there are lots of Sharders.

I'm one of the lucky people who lives in Provo, Utah, where there are lots of Sharders. I live in Tucson, where there are a lot of retirees who read a lot of Clive Cussler. So if I wanted to find Clive Cussler fans, I'd be in luck.

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 So, question for anyone who's seen it: My parents left the cable hooked up here for now, and On Demand has Mad Max: Fury Road available for free. Should I watch it?
Zathoth Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 There seem to be two sharders in sweden. The closest one to me who I have any kind of interaction however with is Edgedancer. So, question for anyone who's seen it: My parents left the cable hooked up here for now, and On Demand has Mad Max: Fury Road available for free. Should I watch it? Now I havent watched it, but both a friend of mine and my sister (who both watch too many movies for it to be healthy) loves it, and it figuratively won a million Oscars. Go for it.

A place where Sharders can debate the merits of covering their safehands, compare mistcloaks and mistcoats, and try to Awaken their souvenir straw men while dining on chouta. Until we get a Shardcon, I think the closest thing in existence is JordanCon. Which I am going to this year. So, question for anyone who's seen it: My parents left the cable hooked up here for now, and On Demand has Mad Max: Fury Road available for free. Should I watch it? Yes! (I haven't seen it yet, but that's a point of shame for me.)

Should I watch it? I liked it! It may or may not be your cup of tea, but it's definitely worthy of a watch.
Oversleep Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Am I the only one who doesn't know another Sharder in person? (To be fair, I have one Sanderfan friend and another who's read SA, but neither is on this site.) Try being one of four (or something around it) Sharders in entire country One of my relatively-close friends was a Sanderfan before I did (I found out recently) but the guy doesn't even have Facebook.... On another note, week ago I made a crossover cable at the university. Today I used it to transfer files between computers (although configuring the connection was still hard). First time I actually used something I learned in real life (apart from all the math and physics I do subconsciously all the time )
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Watching Fury Road now. So far so good. "Do not, my friends, become addicted to water." Isn't....isn't everyone on Earth addicted to water? It being a life-sustaining thing and all? 1
