A minor aside beetnemesis Send a noteboard - 26/11/2010 02:49:03 PM
His ideas about the books - which had always been intended as one novel - make a lot of sense.


That always bugged me. I know RJ has said it before, but it's really... not true. I get that he means that it's one continous story, but it's NOT "one novel." It's over a dozen novels, all with their own rising and falling actions, climaxes, themes, and so on.

Yes, it can be construed as one giant "meta-novel," but at the end of the day, they all have their own seperate covers and copyright pages.

Anyway, carry on!
I amuse myself.

I'd say that DomA is one of the most thoughtful posters here. He researches his comments and gives - 25/11/2010 06:47:58 PM 929 Views

That doesn't mean he has any actual evidence as to BS tampering with RJ's notes - 26/11/2010 01:33:08 AM 840 Views

If it hadn't been Graendal, it WOULD have been rather contrived... - 26/11/2010 01:35:12 AM 747 Views
Well, we were under the impression that Moridin alone had access to the True Power. - 26/11/2010 02:36:31 AM 956 Views
I was under the impression other Forsaken had access as well, something pointed out by their POVs .. - 27/11/2010 09:09:17 AM 739 Views
No, only Moridin - 27/11/2010 06:43:17 PM 746 Views
