Bye bye WoT...
Robert Jordan, the author of Wheel of Time, has died.
I found out when someone on IRC mentioned it. It happened yesterday.
[170907.013812] <@Torgen> Robert Jordan died
[170907.013815] <@Torgen> without finishing book 12
[170907.013826] <@Torgen> everyone who read that series is pwnt
[170907.013835] <@Torgen> in addition to the pwnage of having to read them
My response?
[170907.015044] <&Cz> o.o
[170907.015046] <&Cz> he died?
[170907.015103] <&Cz> crap.
He wrote a damn long fantasy series and now it's not complete. And I read 10 of those books. :(
Lesson to be learnt here: Never drag on some work for years or you might die before finishing the work. >.< No more WoT for me.
P.S. I lost respect for him after he dragged the series on and on and wrote other novellas, presumably to profit more from the series, so his death frustrates me more than my feelings of sympathy for his family. There's another fantasy author who seems to be doing the same thing with another series... for goodness sake finish the series!
