Uh, yeah, you know those long, longlonglonglonglong fanfics you get on websites sometimes, where it's "You Know You Read/Watch/Love/Etc. [insert fandom or character name here] [optional from/by appropriate series/creator/etc. here] When/If/Etc." and it's a big list with stuff contributed by lots and lots of people? I thought, why not start one here? So I'll start us off with the basics that appear on every list (with, of course, appropriate variations given the fandom...)
1. You call your best guy-friend Kit.
2. You call your best gal-friend Nita.
3. You call your second best guy-friend Nita, because you already have one you call Kit, and you don't have any gal-friends.
4. You call... etc., etc., etc.
5. ...alright, you call people you know after the YW characters.
6. ...and your mother/father/sibling/math teacher/etc. is the Lone One.
8. ...to their face. And use the "greeting-and-defiance" greeting (but probably leave out the "fairest" part...). Although they just look at you funny when you say that.
7. ...because he/she/It knows what you're talking about, and is just about to blow up.
8. you insist upon carrying with you, AT ALL TIMES, a long rowan twig (which, of course, came off of a tree that you were talking to in your back yard and which, of course, you asked permission for) or a busted car antenna (which came off of a car that you etc. etc. etc....)
9. You took the oath.
10. ...and it worked.
11. ...and your copy of SYW is now your manual, although you sometimes wish you could change it back to the novel for a while so you could reread the story.
12. ...and regardless of whether or not numbers 10-11 apply, you tell your parents that you're now a wizard and in deadly conflict with the Power that created entropy.
13. ...and convinced them.
14. ...and your little sibling, who is now also a wizard.
15. ...who now has a laptop named "Spot".
...anyway, yeah. Add as you like (although try to either make them long, or post several at once, because we don't want Poot to rule this topic, right? *Kicks poot*).
