Wheel of Time author dies

[Dylflon]

I kind of don't want them to finish the series just to stick to those nerds who love Wheel of Time just a little too much.

Wow. I guess that just seems really heartless to me. Just because you didn't enjoy the series as much as others, you wish them to be miserable that their 13 book series will never be finished.

I'm one of those Wheel of Time fans. I read all 12 books he released (including the prequel, A New Spring), and to know that the final book will never be released - that one of the worlds greatest fantasy writing minds is gone - is really aweful.

Rest in peace. I only met him once, and it's always been one of the foremost experiences in memory for me.

I was kidding, man.

Kidding in a really mean way.

I have friends who are really into it. It's not a bad series.

But yeah, it's a bummer the dude died before he could finish his stuff.

From what I've heard he was well in to the last book, and he made extensive notes and outlines just in case he himself wasn't able to finish it. Rumor has it his wife may finish it, since she is a writer herself and served as his editor.

In any case I'm certain the book will be published.
