I gotcha.

I don't really agree with your conclusion. I'll just say that I loved Wheel of Time, and Robert Jordan is one my absolutely favorite authors. Those books were a huge part of my childhood. I used to dream about a TV show, and now ... ugh.

Anyway, I've only read the Sanderson-WoT books once. They were fine. I mean, I'm also a big Sanderson fan, and I think he did about as good a job as could have been done. He was given an INCREDIBLY difficult task and yeah, he and others have fully admitted that he had to come up with a lot of material from scratch. But, I don't think it's fair to call them merely fan fiction.

My biggest problem with Sando-WoT books is that the characters didn't feel right. Jordan was a master of characters. Sando-Mat just doesn't feel like Mat. Sando-Rand is just a bit off. etc.

Again, no knock on Brandon Sanderson, I think he did a better job than almost anyone else.
