Mistrunner

This is why my ears aren't pierced. Just sayin'...

I agree with this wholeheartedly, but mostly I'm just here to complain about your signature. I keep highlighting it to look for hidden messages.

This is it. I knew Sanderfans were awesome, but this seals it for me. You people are cooler than David's terrible metaphors. I will never have a normal, Divergent-worshipping friend again.

Wait. Am I sensing a Studio C reference? ARE THERE OTHER FANS HERE?

SPOILERS! Gosh, people! Heh heh... anyway, welcome to this crazy place. Sanderfans are the best. Love your name (go LOTR!). Love Coldplay. Love being a nerd. Hope to see you around!

...wait, this wasn't already a thing?

When the Coppermind shuts down for about a day and you start panicking. I still can't get to it... *sobs* When a friend challenges you to name which types of Radiant your friends would be.

My mom let me read her (signed!) copy of Elantris when I was in fifth grade. (I think I'd read Alcatraz before that, but I'm just counting his epic fantasy here.) I was immediately hooked and went on to Mistborn. I have to say I was a bit daunted by WoK but not for long- the Stormlight Archives is now probably my favorite Sanderson series (though it's really, really hard to decide!). Then, one day, innocently looking through the Coppermind, I found something referencing the Cosmere. I looked it up. And spent the next ten minutes lying on the floor, completely in shock. I was converted to the Cult of the Cosmere and have spent the rest of my life trying to convert others. I have converted 3 people to date. There is one person who I have lost all hope for- she thinks WoK is boring and stopped after about the first chapter. I spluttered for a few minutes, then considered sending her to the Pits of Hathsin. It didn't work, unfortunately... Now I can be found lurking in dark alleyways with (definitely not spiked) cookies and copies of Elantris. Have a couple of each! They're good!

I would upvote this a thousand times if I could. Props to you, Maffu17. You're awesome.

When you spend 17 hours trying to think up things to post on a page called "You Know You're a Sanderfan When." When you automatically think of the 17th Shard every time you hear the number 17. When for a Civil War reenactment you're in the Stonewall Brigade but all you can remember it as is Stormwall Brigade. It actually took my friend and me a while to get to what it was actually named. Stormwall? Stormlight? Might as well give up and call it Bridge Four.

"I'm a person." Wow! You sound like me! Have an upvote. Welcome to the crazy world of 17th Shard. Hope to see you around. Would you like a nice cookie?

WoR reaction (spoilers): Here's one that should be basic Cosmere knowledge and isn't really a spoiler for any book, but I'm putting it in spoiler tags to be safe.

When you waste your time highlighting entire pages of text looking for hidden messages.

Can we be sticks of Bridge Four? Or the 17th Shard? I would be upvoting just about every post on this page but I hit my quota for today. Sadness.

You have another loyal supporter! Can I join? Root beer forever! Root beer and sticks!

I like to think I've financed one of his books. Probably not true, but if it is, it'd be as awesome as Lift.

When depression sets in when you realize you would be a terrible Rithmatist. "I can't only not draw a passable circle, I can't draw unicorns either! I'm worthless! Worthless!"

Rereading this and realizing the title should read "I'm alive! (Doubtful.)"

When you start posting a half-billion posts everywhere at 11:00 PM and become depressed that no one responds or upvotes. There are people from other time zones here, right? RIGHT?

Hello! As a (relative) newbie to 17th Shard, I decided to add my own topic to the sea of Introduce Yourself. My hobbies include eating lots of brownies and binge reading Stormlight Archives. (I read WoR in two days- hopefully I'll get my time down to one someday. I live a wild life.) I'm also completely insane. In case you were wondering. I think 17th Shard is awesome because it is not considered extraordinary to read a 1,080 page book in two days. Everyone from the non-internet world is always so amazed. Why, they ask. Because it's freakin' amazing, I answer. My heroes are Lopen, Lift and Ham. I would add the great Sanderson here as well, but I fear I am not worthy. I want to eat chouta so bad. I should probably be doing homework right about now. Nah.

I love how I'm a part of a community so immersed in all things Sanderson that I don't even think it's weird anymore when I see a post about what the first name of a character who only appears once or twice (other than in David's head) is. And then watch it spiral into a conversation about cheese. Man, I love 17th Shard.

When you worry a little too much over whether Kaladin would hate you because you're a lighteyes.

When you realize the reason you don't like Game of Thrones (all you fans, don't kill me!) is because they're always saying "winter is coming", and foretelling the future is not of Honor. Edit: clarification
