Both of you disgust me Dark Knight Send a noteboard - 29/09/2012 04:13:16 PM
Jealous, so very jealous. Do you two know how absurd you sound? First of all, I very much knew who B-Sand was before he took over. Secondly, if WoT helped his fan base, it certainly has nothing to do with his staying power. His books are very good and I really don't care for the WoT books he has done. I much prefer his own work. It disgusts me how you two dismiss his success, as though being a bestseller is some type of fluke. Get off your high horses and write your own successful fantasy series.

If you have to call someone "my friend" three times in a couple of minutes, he isn't. Cannoli - 28/09/2012 11:59:13 AM 5670 Views
John McCain has a similar proclivity. *NM* RandAllThor - 28/09/2012 12:26:29 PM 1109 Views
The only people I've ever heard say "my friend" are foreign street vendors Marshall - 28/09/2012 01:19:00 PM 1021 Views
Potential customer = best kind of friend *NM* Artsapat - 28/09/2012 02:20:29 PM 595 Views
I agree in this particular instance. Nate - 28/09/2012 03:38:15 PM 1329 Views
Maybe they have been Quakers all along? *NM* dadof5 - 28/09/2012 03:39:24 PM 738 Views
Sanderson's handling of character interractions is pathetic.... DomA - 28/09/2012 06:43:48 PM 1178 Views
Now see, here I don't fully agree, or at least think it's a matter of taste. Nate - 28/09/2012 07:21:09 PM 1880 Views
Sorry, that's just not true... fionwe1987 - 28/09/2012 11:33:59 PM 1061 Views
A few things. Nate - 29/09/2012 02:40:47 AM 1290 Views
Great rebuttal! Fionwe got burned! *NM* Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 04:00:41 PM 799 Views

Yes! fionwe1987 - 29/09/2012 02:26:39 AM 1193 Views
This is one of my biggest pet peeves as well Deadsy - 29/09/2012 04:56:53 AM 1194 Views
There are people who say that? Nate - 29/09/2012 05:16:58 AM 1071 Views
I complained about this regarding the Forsaken chapter Sidious - 28/09/2012 07:34:25 PM 1307 Views
I've long since accepted that Sanderson uses inaccurate terms like "powerful" darius_sedai - 29/09/2012 05:44:11 AM 1310 Views
To be fair, the last Moghedian PoV by RJ might have changed her a bit. Cannoli - 29/09/2012 03:27:31 PM 1038 Views
Which is the question I brought up in another thread darius_sedai - 29/09/2012 05:29:01 PM 937 Views
Yes. The last time it happened to me it ended with the taxi driver fined by the NYPD. Tom - 29/09/2012 07:05:26 AM 1025 Views
The burning question to me, after reading all of the comments above, is this... Shannow - 29/09/2012 08:50:50 AM 1250 Views
Piggybacking on someone else's established characters and near-climax-point plot? Cannoli - 29/09/2012 03:04:03 PM 1287 Views
Both of you disgust me Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 04:13:16 PM 1220 Views
This is not jealousy, it's being upset Marshall - 29/09/2012 07:52:51 PM 1093 Views
They could have hired a ghost writer. They chose not to. *NM* Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 09:34:27 PM 9795 Views
Your crappy taste in books means nothing Cannoli - 30/09/2012 09:23:51 PM 1613 Views
When did I ever say Eli Manning wasn't a good QB? Dark Knight - 01/10/2012 03:40:21 PM 1003 Views
To be fair... Sidious - 29/09/2012 04:36:52 PM 1092 Views
True ... He may not be perfect, and he certainly made some strange choices darius_sedai - 29/09/2012 05:37:29 PM 894 Views
B-Sand is not a ghost writer Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 06:35:16 PM 2367 Views
Didn't say he should. darius_sedai - 29/09/2012 09:07:45 PM 1667 Views
I mostly agree with this. Nate - 29/09/2012 09:36:38 PM 1280 Views
What is it you want? Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 09:39:36 PM 1257 Views
We want to bitch about an inferior product. Duh. Cannoli - 29/09/2012 10:00:09 PM 1156 Views
Hmm that's true I guess. Sad though *NM* Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 10:07:25 PM 497 Views
It is what it is darius_sedai - 30/09/2012 12:52:20 AM 826 Views
Those are not remotely the same thing Cannoli - 30/09/2012 09:14:49 PM 1095 Views
But they are the same in this instance darius_sedai - 30/09/2012 10:01:59 PM 1004 Views
You do know this isn't his series, right? Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 04:19:00 PM 1536 Views
Do you see us going to Mistborn boards to rip his series? Part of the problem is what you say. Cannoli - 29/09/2012 09:57:54 PM 1922 Views
Apologies for not being clear: I'm only referring to WoT. Haven't read any of his other work... Shannow - 30/09/2012 06:56:08 PM 1259 Views
I'd agree that I like his original works more than his WoT books beetnemesis - 01/10/2012 06:17:33 PM 1147 Views
It's fairly simple.... DomA - 30/09/2012 09:55:52 PM 1247 Views
Thanks for that insightful response... Shannow - 30/09/2012 10:37:27 PM 977 Views
Try reading something instead of judging. I recommend the Mistborn trilogy *NM* Dark Knight - 01/10/2012 01:14:24 AM 477 Views
Forgotten Realms is big on clever spells and magic systems? Fanatic-Templar - 01/10/2012 05:27:05 AM 939 Views
It's more... DomA - 01/10/2012 01:05:18 PM 1695 Views
Did you read Way of Kings? VTHokie - 03/10/2012 09:14:43 PM 1211 Views
No, nothing but the prologue DomA - 04/10/2012 02:56:14 AM 933 Views
