I wish they'd just end it. In one way I can see it as a way to honor the dead by helping part of him live on and bloom in away. But in another way I think that it starts to feel a little creepy and exploitative to have somebody not the artist trotting out stuff in their name after they're long gone.
I think it's an honorable thing to finish the very last part of his magnum opus, faithful to his vision, so that the world can enjoy it and he can be remembered well for it. But there's a line at some point, even if blurry. I think it would give a sense of finality, completion, and resolution to let it end rather than scrape it out further to fade and fray. I would like more WOT but stuff happens and life goes on.

Does anyone think Harriet won't commission the outrigger trilogy?

I bet they will be published, considering the success of the WoT books. *NM*

I don't agree - the impression I got was that this was more from respect than contractual.

I could see, maybe, the Tam al'Thor prequel being published, but not the outriggers. *NM*

yes - basically, he doesn't want any of them written, but if they are, he wants to be the guy

Right, but I've only seen him say that in the context of the outriggers. *NM*
