B-Sand is not a ghost writer Dark Knight Send a noteboard - 29/09/2012 06:35:16 PM
He had no time to learn every little detail. Hell RJ had assistants to help him! Harriet might have been better served to hire a ghost writer and take 3-5 years to carefully study the notes and mimic RJ’s style. But fans were too impatient for that. B-Sand said from the very beginning that he will write as himself and not mimic RJ.

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 5683 Views
John McCain has a similar proclivity. *NM* RandAllThor - 28/09/2012 12:26:29 PM 1115 Views
The only people I've ever heard say "my friend" are foreign street vendors Marshall - 28/09/2012 01:19:00 PM 1027 Views
Potential customer = best kind of friend *NM* Artsapat - 28/09/2012 02:20:29 PM 599 Views
I agree in this particular instance. Nate - 28/09/2012 03:38:15 PM 1342 Views
Maybe they have been Quakers all along? *NM* dadof5 - 28/09/2012 03:39:24 PM 744 Views
Sanderson's handling of character interractions is pathetic.... DomA - 28/09/2012 06:43:48 PM 1190 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 1888 Views
Sorry, that's just not true... fionwe1987 - 28/09/2012 11:33:59 PM 1070 Views
A few things. Nate - 29/09/2012 02:40:47 AM 1301 Views
Great rebuttal! Fionwe got burned! *NM* Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 04:00:41 PM 806 Views

Yes! fionwe1987 - 29/09/2012 02:26:39 AM 1205 Views
This is one of my biggest pet peeves as well Deadsy - 29/09/2012 04:56:53 AM 1203 Views
There are people who say that? Nate - 29/09/2012 05:16:58 AM 1080 Views
I complained about this regarding the Forsaken chapter Sidious - 28/09/2012 07:34:25 PM 1318 Views
I've long since accepted that Sanderson uses inaccurate terms like "powerful" darius_sedai - 29/09/2012 05:44:11 AM 1319 Views
To be fair, the last Moghedian PoV by RJ might have changed her a bit. Cannoli - 29/09/2012 03:27:31 PM 1046 Views
Which is the question I brought up in another thread darius_sedai - 29/09/2012 05:29:01 PM 946 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 1035 Views
The burning question to me, after reading all of the comments above, is this... Shannow - 29/09/2012 08:50:50 AM 1258 Views
Piggybacking on someone else's established characters and near-climax-point plot? Cannoli - 29/09/2012 03:04:03 PM 1299 Views
Both of you disgust me Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 04:13:16 PM 1229 Views
This is not jealousy, it's being upset Marshall - 29/09/2012 07:52:51 PM 1099 Views
They could have hired a ghost writer. They chose not to. *NM* Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 09:34:27 PM 9801 Views
Your crappy taste in books means nothing Cannoli - 30/09/2012 09:23:51 PM 1625 Views
When did I ever say Eli Manning wasn't a good QB? Dark Knight - 01/10/2012 03:40:21 PM 1010 Views
To be fair... Sidious - 29/09/2012 04:36:52 PM 1105 Views
True ... He may not be perfect, and he certainly made some strange choices darius_sedai - 29/09/2012 05:37:29 PM 904 Views
B-Sand is not a ghost writer Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 06:35:16 PM 2373 Views
Didn't say he should. darius_sedai - 29/09/2012 09:07:45 PM 1678 Views
I mostly agree with this. Nate - 29/09/2012 09:36:38 PM 1288 Views
What is it you want? Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 09:39:36 PM 1269 Views
We want to bitch about an inferior product. Duh. Cannoli - 29/09/2012 10:00:09 PM 1193 Views
Hmm that's true I guess. Sad though *NM* Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 10:07:25 PM 503 Views
It is what it is darius_sedai - 30/09/2012 12:52:20 AM 835 Views
Those are not remotely the same thing Cannoli - 30/09/2012 09:14:49 PM 1103 Views
But they are the same in this instance darius_sedai - 30/09/2012 10:01:59 PM 1014 Views
You do know this isn't his series, right? Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 04:19:00 PM 1546 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 1932 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 1266 Views
I'd agree that I like his original works more than his WoT books beetnemesis - 01/10/2012 06:17:33 PM 1160 Views
It's fairly simple.... DomA - 30/09/2012 09:55:52 PM 1259 Views
Thanks for that insightful response... Shannow - 30/09/2012 10:37:27 PM 988 Views
Try reading something instead of judging. I recommend the Mistborn trilogy *NM* Dark Knight - 01/10/2012 01:14:24 AM 481 Views
Forgotten Realms is big on clever spells and magic systems? Fanatic-Templar - 01/10/2012 05:27:05 AM 946 Views
It's more... DomA - 01/10/2012 01:05:18 PM 1702 Views
Did you read Way of Kings? VTHokie - 03/10/2012 09:14:43 PM 1219 Views
No, nothing but the prologue DomA - 04/10/2012 02:56:14 AM 944 Views
Re: The burning question to me, after reading all of the comments above, is this... RugbyPlayingAshaman - 11/10/2012 08:22:27 PM 855 Views
I have an acquaintance who uses "my friend" as punctuation of every sentence. Kaldric - 05/10/2012 02:47:40 PM 1566 Views
