After Memory of Light would you finish the 2 Wheel of Time prequels that Robert Jordan was planning?
: Oh boy, okay so serious question. Harriet and I have both given this much thought and we feel that there is a danger in continuing to write in the Wheel of Time. The metaphor I like to use is that we’ve been handed the One Ring and we are marching toward Mordor and we have to let go of that ring. The longer we keep a hold of it, the more dangerous it is for us, the more we will want to keep hold of it, and the more we just risk exploiting Robert Jordan’s name and legacy, rather than just doing what he envisioned being the appropriate thing to do with his world and his series.
We have both decided that we don’t feel comfortable doing the prequels, perhaps that will change. I don’t think it will, but for right now the answer is no. We are not going to do the prequels or the outriggers, which is another sequel series he had planned. Simply because there’s nothing wrong with those, he said he was going to do them, but the longer we keep going the more dangerous and risky it becomes and we’d rather just stop while we’re ahead.
