Dragonmount is now a complete @BrandSanderson bashing ground. This is becoming unbearable. What happened? Was not so last year.
It’s unfortunate, but natural. I’ve grown popular enough that some people say my wot books are better than RJ’s, which isn’t true.
The hardcore fans then feel the need to point out the flaws in my efforts, and many things they say are true.
I do wish some were not as vicious as they are, however.
So, apparently @BrandSanderson has chosen to believe that the criticism levelled at him is just a jealous reaction.
A response by hardcore fans loyal to Jordan to the suggestion that @BrandSanderson’s work on the Wheel is better than RJ.
In @BrandSanderson’s defence, he does offer that the hardcore fans use some truth in their jealous rage.
So I suppose at least @BrandSanderson offers efficacy to our criticism, if not legitimacy.
I’m curious as to where you gain your insights into the criticism? After all you could not even bring yourself to read a…
…critique wrapped in kiddy gloves that you yourself requested. Are you sure this isn’t some sort of self-rationalisation?
After all, a small select group blowing minor (but admittedly real) flaws out of proportion in a misguided attempt…
… at loyalty to Jordan is a much easier thing to swallow than the idea that the criticism might have truth…
… in both the specifics and in the degree of its existence.
Anyway, I’m done raging at you now. Wow. That was weird. Must have seen someone suggest you were better than Jordan.
Luckers, I worry sometimes about how strongly you react to things like this. I didn’t call the criticisms minor or misguided.
I agreed they are true. I am flawed. I cannot yet write well as you want me to. I’m sorry you find that personally offensive.
I do not think that is the only reason people criticize me. Twitter makes it hard to explain things in depth.
I have seen it being a factor—explicitly, by the poster’s own words—in criticism. I find that noble. I didn’t want to offend.
