this could one day happen to you

not sure if this is the right place to post this or if I'm running behind the masses again but... amusing thought, this reminded me that one day all of us might actually end up in this situation:

I'm thinking one day we will all have read the ending and then we'll meet people who have not and we are never gonna experience the feeling again that they are gonna get from reading WoT. When the ending is there, it's over, outriggers/prequels or not.

 

To Brandon all that is already over, he will never get to experience the last part of the Wheel of Time as we will. He gets to be part of it, but it will not be the same.

 

I can tell if I had been asked to finish the WoT I would have said no. Just like it did for Brandon, WoT followed me into my adult life without ever failing to be that fantastic experience it was when I started reading it at 13. I'm too big a fan to have that experience taken from me. I'm gonna follow it to the end and I, like everyone else, makes it their own experience.

 

Anyone else think the same or wanna share their thoughts?

well it's a good thing at least one fan wanted to take up the challenge or we would have never reached the end. But I understand where you're coming from. Eventhough I haven't followed WOT since my childhood, it's still been a fantastic journey to follow. :)
