Was Sanderson created by the Writng Gods to counter balance GRRM?

I just wish he'd be done with the RJ shit and go back to writing his own books.

Uh...Faust is a play. Doctor Faustus is a novel. The former is Goethe, the latter is Mann. *NM*

I suppose fame is relative, but the most famous Doctor Faustus, to me personally, is indeed a play.

Sanderson is a machine. Also, the books (so far) have been wildly different
