Brandon Sanderson has just tweeted that he has completed writing the Wheel of Time! A Memory of Light is done, with the final scenes written by Robert Jordan added to new material from Sanderson, in what looks like an all night marathon.
In some ways, this seems like a momentous event. That we could actually follow the completion of this series live on the internet just seems to emphasize how long it has been going on.
On the other hand, the great length of this series does offer one advantage... there is potential for a hugely explosive finale (something Jordan always excelled at, especially early on). If nothing, the 12 preceeding books have created all sorts of expectations and driven home all sorts of beleifs about what this series is and is not.
But, given both RJ's propensity for leaving minute clues that have major impact throughout the series, several book finales that were greatly satisfying and Brandon Sanderson's own use of great twists (which may have played a role in his being selected to complete the series), what do you expect from what will certainly be the most awaited series finale in a long time?

I'll be happy to finish and move on. It will give me hope too that Martin may one day finish. *NM*
