About the Author

[Epic]

In all the other books, it ended RJ's "About the Author" with him saying that he intended to keep on writing until they nailed the coffin shut.  What do you think it'll get changed to?

[OptimusPrime]

That he wrote until they nailed his coffin shut.

[JenniferL]

I would pay extra for that.

[Mr Ares]

That he wrote until they nailed his coffin shut.

So it wasn't the amyloidosis that killed him...

[OptimusPrime]

That he wrote until they nailed his coffin shut.

So it wasn't the amyloidosis that killed him...

 

Aparantly not.

[JenniferL]

Oh come on, like a little strand of protein was enough to kill Robert Jordan. Did you ever meet the man? He could have crushed me with one hand, had he so chose.

[Mr Ares]

Did you ever meet the man?

No. I did once meet some nobody called Tolkien, but who the hell has heard of him? Did they seal his computer in there with him? Is there a chance that, somewhere beneath South Carolina, a zombie RJ is working away at finishing the book, and will one day rise? What will that do to the canonicity of Brandon's conclusion?

My current copy of Crossroads of Twilight and of Path of Daggers have his death date at the end of the page; the other books (in my possession) either leave out 'About the Author' or end with that he intends to continue.
