[QUOTE="noretoc, post: 3784328, member: 1276"] To add my 2 cents. I have heard a lot of people bash Robert Jordan, and complain about some of the books, and I have to admit that at times I could get frustrated at the books but it comes down to this. He envisioned this great world, than many of us as role-players have done. He didn't keep it there in his head though, where it was all his. He wrote down the story on paper, and shared his personal place with all of us. He opened it up to criticism, and complaint. He allowed editors to mess with it, and publishers to mess with it. After all of that, many of us could spend an hour reading his word and be taken away from what was going on in our lives and share this place if his imagination. For that, I add him to my list of great people. He dosen't have to be a great writer (though I think he is). The fact that he worked hard so that we could have a peice of this place is enough for me. I never met him, but I will miss him and his stories. I wish his family well. I wish him peace in whatever form he is in now. [/QUOTE]
