Eh. Technically, EVERY fictional story has this.

In every story, an author decides things are going to happen. The events may SEEM realistic, or natural, but in the end it's all because the author said "this is going to happen."
Good authors are the ones who mask this, and make everything seem to flow naturally.
Now, RJ does that. Things do flow naturally, usually. But sometimes, almost as if to lampshade the phenomenon, ta'veren-ness happens obviously.

I amuse myself.
I love how ta'veren = main character

I don't like this. It reeks of 'deus ex machina' and makes things too convenient. *NM*
