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.
