In a KOD the Empress, (may she live for ever ha ha), dies along with her court leaveing Tuon as Empress. I know RJ was going to write a book on Mat & Tuon 5 years after last battle. But with RJ gone (may he rest in peace) will we find out what happens. It all can not be covered in AMOL unless it's 2500-3000 pages. Good luck to Brandon but RJ could not have left that many notes.

Eh, it depends on what Harriet and others want to do after AMoL is out. She could simply take what was written down or told and put it up online, probably here, to give fans some closure.

 

 

Or, she could do what I would love to see- take a page from Star Wars and create a Wheel of Time Expanded Universe under her creative control. The WoT universe has infinite room for other stories, and I think it would be a fitting legacy for Mr. Jordan that the world of his masterpiece never goes dark and quiet.

From Brandons website:

 

Okay, let's see if this phone will let me post here. I'm in the airport having just spent two days at Harriet's house. She, and mr. Jordan's staff, are awesome. It was wonderful. I will yet to do a longer description on my blog.

 

Two questions to answer. First, will I do more WoT books?  I don't know, honestly. On one hand, I would hate to see writings of me Jordan go unfinished, and I now know what the prequels and outriggers would have contained.

 

On the other hand, I don't think any of us want to simply exploit the master's legacy.  We don't need dozens of books being released in Mr. Jordan's name.

 

Let's see where we are in two years. There are too many factors involved to give a good guess now. It will depend on the state of the notes, the fan reception to book 12, and how Harriet feels.

 

As for the contract, I can't say much. Nda again. Know that my contract was with the Jordan estate, and that they were very generous. I do have a stake in seeing the book do well. It is very similar to a regular contract.

that, in my opinion, would be the worst possible thing ANYONE could do....it would butcher the series.

 

too much of anything is bad for you. After RJ's notes are put to good use (AMoL, Prequels if there's enough, and I doubt there's more than a basic outline for some outriggers at best), i say end it and encase it in history

Depends on who writes it. Some of those Expanded Universe novels for Star Wars are terrible in my opinion. But, I have some serious problems with George as a writer, anyway, so I think it needed to be done in that case. After all, while some suck there are some books that are better than some movies.

 

Would I want to see that for Wheel of Time? Would I read any? I honestly couldn't say. Love the series, love what RJ has done with it. I don't think that anyone can quite write like he does or capture the world in the way that I appreciate it.

 

All that said, I'd still want to know what happens after AMoL. Haha.
