Completely off topic, but since this is RnF I give 0 Shits.

Wutang, I see you have a character named after a Wheel of Time creature. How do you think the series that is currently on hold from production due to covid is going to handle the magic system from that fantasy world?

I'm guessing lots of finger waggling, looks of constipation, hefty sighs, and varying thickness of ropes/strings that change have different colors fading after a few seconds.

They have been talking about having different authors continuing the series since Robert Jordan died for like 5 years now it seems. Brandon Sanderson did a great job on the last 3 books and it actually got me reading his The Stormlight Archive series that I think is absolutely fantastic.

The Wheel of Time is not an easy... if they make more books I will read them because I am already like 9000 hours into the series but I am honestly not looking forward to them coming out. I would much rather Sanderson focus on the Storm Light Archives, Rothfuss finish his fucking Kingslayer Chronicles Books, and GRR Martin die and someone else finish GoT for him.

If you haven't read it, sanderson's "Mistborn" series is pretty good.

I started WoT back in the 90's when there was only like 4 or 5 books. I reread the series every time a new book would come out. I'm not sure how many hours I am in, but I am in deep.

That's exactly how I used to read them too! I thought Sanderson did an ok job finishing, although certain choices he made I didn't love. I'm looking forward to the show! Be interesting to see how they adapt it from page to screen. Certainly helps that, in contrast to ASOIAF, that the source material is all finished. Hopefully if it does well they can avoid the crash and burn that were the last two seasons of GoT.

Sanderson did the best he could with what he had to work with. That's about the fairest way I can put it. With how many side stories and subplots Jordan was spinning it amazes me the thing got finished in as few words as it did.

I wouldn't mind seeing other authors dip into that world as long as they don't touch the main storyline. In a very Dragonlance sort of way where you just get... more interesting material to read. Certainly not canon material, but just more.

Yeah, I've always thought that with how much depth Jordan wrote into the world it would be fertile ground for other authors to tell other stories in the setting. So many good opportunities in there for stories set before, and after, the events of the main story.
