B-Sand is not a ghost writer Dark Knight Send a noteboard - 29/09/2012 06:35:16 PM
He had no time to learn every little detail. Hell RJ had assistants to help him! Harriet might have been better served to hire a ghost writer and take 3-5 years to carefully study the notes and mimic RJ’s style. But fans were too impatient for that. B-Sand said from the very beginning that he will write as himself and not mimic RJ.
Formerly Mat Bloody Cauthon on Wotmania, blessed be its name

If you have to call someone "my friend" three times in a couple of minutes, he isn't. Cannoli - 28/09/2012 11:59:13 AM 5880 Views
John McCain has a similar proclivity. *NM* RandAllThor - 28/09/2012 12:26:29 PM 1200 Views
The only people I've ever heard say "my friend" are foreign street vendors Marshall - 28/09/2012 01:19:00 PM 1208 Views
Potential customer = best kind of friend *NM* Artsapat - 28/09/2012 02:20:29 PM 751 Views
I agree in this particular instance. Nate - 28/09/2012 03:38:15 PM 1557 Views
Maybe they have been Quakers all along? *NM* dadof5 - 28/09/2012 03:39:24 PM 846 Views
Sanderson's handling of character interractions is pathetic.... DomA - 28/09/2012 06:43:48 PM 1449 Views
Now see, here I don't fully agree, or at least think it's a matter of taste. Nate - 28/09/2012 07:21:09 PM 2123 Views
Sorry, that's just not true... fionwe1987 - 28/09/2012 11:33:59 PM 1256 Views
A few things. Nate - 29/09/2012 02:40:47 AM 1555 Views
Great rebuttal! Fionwe got burned! *NM* Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 04:00:41 PM 910 Views

Yes! fionwe1987 - 29/09/2012 02:26:39 AM 1426 Views
This is one of my biggest pet peeves as well Deadsy - 29/09/2012 04:56:53 AM 1459 Views
There are people who say that? Nate - 29/09/2012 05:16:58 AM 1276 Views
I complained about this regarding the Forsaken chapter Sidious - 28/09/2012 07:34:25 PM 1523 Views
I've long since accepted that Sanderson uses inaccurate terms like "powerful" darius_sedai - 29/09/2012 05:44:11 AM 1513 Views
To be fair, the last Moghedian PoV by RJ might have changed her a bit. Cannoli - 29/09/2012 03:27:31 PM 1239 Views
Which is the question I brought up in another thread darius_sedai - 29/09/2012 05:29:01 PM 1136 Views
Yes. The last time it happened to me it ended with the taxi driver fined by the NYPD. Tom - 29/09/2012 07:05:26 AM 1221 Views
The burning question to me, after reading all of the comments above, is this... Shannow - 29/09/2012 08:50:50 AM 1441 Views
Piggybacking on someone else's established characters and near-climax-point plot? Cannoli - 29/09/2012 03:04:03 PM 1504 Views
Both of you disgust me Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 04:13:16 PM 1411 Views
This is not jealousy, it's being upset Marshall - 29/09/2012 07:52:51 PM 1293 Views
They could have hired a ghost writer. They chose not to. *NM* Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 09:34:27 PM 9892 Views
Your crappy taste in books means nothing Cannoli - 30/09/2012 09:23:51 PM 1803 Views
When did I ever say Eli Manning wasn't a good QB? Dark Knight - 01/10/2012 03:40:21 PM 1196 Views
To be fair... Sidious - 29/09/2012 04:36:52 PM 1286 Views
True ... He may not be perfect, and he certainly made some strange choices darius_sedai - 29/09/2012 05:37:29 PM 1198 Views
B-Sand is not a ghost writer Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 06:35:16 PM 2562 Views
Didn't say he should. darius_sedai - 29/09/2012 09:07:45 PM 1862 Views
I mostly agree with this. Nate - 29/09/2012 09:36:38 PM 1516 Views
What is it you want? Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 09:39:36 PM 1441 Views
We want to bitch about an inferior product. Duh. Cannoli - 29/09/2012 10:00:09 PM 2596 Views
Hmm that's true I guess. Sad though *NM* Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 10:07:25 PM 610 Views
It is what it is darius_sedai - 30/09/2012 12:52:20 AM 1025 Views
Those are not remotely the same thing Cannoli - 30/09/2012 09:14:49 PM 1307 Views
But they are the same in this instance darius_sedai - 30/09/2012 10:01:59 PM 1240 Views
You do know this isn't his series, right? Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 04:19:00 PM 1736 Views
Do you see us going to Mistborn boards to rip his series? Part of the problem is what you say. Cannoli - 29/09/2012 09:57:54 PM 2125 Views
Apologies for not being clear: I'm only referring to WoT. Haven't read any of his other work... Shannow - 30/09/2012 06:56:08 PM 1500 Views
I'd agree that I like his original works more than his WoT books beetnemesis - 01/10/2012 06:17:33 PM 1334 Views
It's fairly simple.... DomA - 30/09/2012 09:55:52 PM 1463 Views
Thanks for that insightful response... Shannow - 30/09/2012 10:37:27 PM 1167 Views
Try reading something instead of judging. I recommend the Mistborn trilogy *NM* Dark Knight - 01/10/2012 01:14:24 AM 571 Views
Forgotten Realms is big on clever spells and magic systems? Fanatic-Templar - 01/10/2012 05:27:05 AM 1126 Views
It's more... DomA - 01/10/2012 01:05:18 PM 1889 Views
Did you read Way of Kings? VTHokie - 03/10/2012 09:14:43 PM 1399 Views
No, nothing but the prologue DomA - 04/10/2012 02:56:14 AM 1160 Views
Re: The burning question to me, after reading all of the comments above, is this... RugbyPlayingAshaman - 11/10/2012 08:22:27 PM 1035 Views
I have an acquaintance who uses "my friend" as punctuation of every sentence. Kaldric - 05/10/2012 02:47:40 PM 1751 Views
