F&SF Oct./Nov. 2007: Favorite Story Poll
Poll: Who should finish writing the final book in Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time sequence?
So, who should finish writing the final Wheel of Time book? The authors I’ve listed below are all Tor authors who have written epic/heroic fantasy, and so theoretically could be considered for the role. One of the options, Harriett McDougall, is Jordan’s book editor and widow, so she’s a possibility (at least theoretically–for all I know she might not be a writer at all). One other option seems to me very unlikely–Gene Wolfe–but I put him in there to see if anyone out there for some reason thinks that would be a good idea. (It would be a terrible mismatch, but man, the results would likely be wild.)
Update: I added an “Other” option to the poll, if you don’t like any of those choices.
