Brandon Sanderson / Re: Brandon To Write Wheel of Time Book 12
« on: December 23, 2007, 05:17:29 PM »
I too have been reading WOT for more than half my life, but I also knew of Brandon Sanderson books for a while now having read Elantris and Mistborn some time ago.  I believe I read Elantris in Hardback but I am not sure anymore.  I know I first came upon Jordan in Trade Paperback and I have judged ALL writers of Fantasy against The Eye of the World since then.

Mr. Sanderson I love reading your books...I love finding "new" writers of merit and was happy when I found you.  The same goes for a host of new fantasy writers out there right now that have captured what I think is a an unprecendented batch of "high end"  Fantasy as you and others have termed it.

There will be those who hate you for writing AMoL.  There will be those who will become fans.   There will be all kinds of people in between those two opinions, and you seem to have grasped that fact aready for that you get all the kudos I can give you.  (offically none btw because I my opinion is just that... mine.)

I do not know what all this discussion of LDS writers means or does not mean.  My wish is for you to write the characters as you and Harriet see fit.  If that means they have sex then they do.  I believe the character speaks to the writer and that they live in the mind of the writer.  If you reach that stage with characters I have cherished for so many years I will love rereading AMoL as much as I have reread the rest of Robert Jordan's books.

Good Luck to you but you won't need it.
