The Wheel of Time, a series about free will and how history eternally repeats and nothing ever changes except the small details. Free will, the force that drives the pattern to make people agree with ta'veren and entire villages to spontaneously have mass weddings.

He died like nine months after his diagnosis, and after promising to beat the average life expectancy of around two years. He’s also already sold like 10 million books at that point.

UltraRed posted:The guide basically states that even the "best" of the forsaken still controlled cities that rounded up non-dark friends and fed them to Trollocs. Presumably their names survive in demonology and mythology to some extent. Maybe the two surviving Forsaken coughed up a complete history of the War of Power and reintroduced their names to historical record in the next age.

Invalid Validation posted:Is it consensual if prophecy says you’re gonna bone? Nothing is consensual in WoT because the pattern is a random number generator within very narrow constraints that doesn't actually allow for free will.

Invalid Validation posted:Yea probably, ending slavery written by 2 very white old guys might have been a difficult task. Lincoln and his cabinet weren’t that much younger, though. Also Sanderson isn’t old at all.

eke out posted:I looked him up after just finishing rereading Great Hunt and it seems like it's never confirmed that Ingtar was definitely under compulsion? Well he was at the Darkfriend Social where Baalzamon uploaded subconscious images in everyone’s heads regarding future orders, so.

silvergoose posted:No...no, there's definitely at least one time later on when he nearly misses a ball juggling or a line of a poem. I forget the details though. Feel like it was in TGH when Rand shows up or something. He chokes on his wine or something when Rand cluelessly recounts the noble women inviting him for "lessons" and telling him their husbands are away for some reason he can't comprehend.

th3t00t posted:So I was way wrong on how long Logain had been channeling. 6 years and no madness? drat! We knew in the first book that there were years between the corruption of Saidin and the creation of TEOTW by surviving male Aes Sedai after other methods of halting the madness had failed. The Hundred Companions went mad instantly but everyone else had a variable tolerance that could be weeks or many years. Doesn’t someone mention a theory that the breaking was made worse by this gradual madness rather than having them all blow at once?

To the extent this does or doesn't find an audience, I don't think trans issues are going to matter except to a marginal slice of potential viewers. It's useful not to project your obsessions on the general populace when trying to make accurate predictions.
