Brandon Sanderson / Re: Brandon To Write Wheel of Time Book 12
« on: December 12, 2007, 10:14:51 AM »
Please forgive my intrusion into what seems to be a very close community. I’m not someone who posts often on forums or a big Wheel of Time community member but I would like to say thank you for this endeavor. I have been held captive by the Wheel for 16 years now and it is a relief to hear that Harriet has asked you to help us make it to Tarmon Gai'don.
(For your fans that want to get acquainted with W.O.T. before your book comes out). Other than www.dragonmount.com and Wheel of Time FAQ I use www.encyclopaedia-wot.org most often to help me keep things straight. It is a very thorough site with everything from chapter summaries to notes on anyone and anything in the books. Careful though if you haven’t read all the books yet because all that information equals spoilers.
I have been looking for a new author and the posts in this forum lead me to believe I have found him. I think I’ll start with the Mistborn trilogy, though a story finished in three books will seem strange.
Even though I want to know what happens in Book 12, I do not envy Brandon's task of learning the massive "database" of WoT knowledge. For those who have never read WoT, it is a series that requires you to re-read the entire series each time a book comes out, or you have no hope of understanding the details of what is going on. Check out the famous Wheel of Time FAQ (hasn't been updated since 2004): http://www.steelypips.org/wotfaq/0_admin/0.01_intro.html
It seems like the main fan-driven WOTFAQ hasn't been updated in a few years, which is a shame.
