After reading your "redo" on @Mark, I would like to make a further observation of my comments on his post. Although I agree with what you have said, and suspect it is right, it just highlights the irony I first discussed. He is doing something with money as the motivating factor, and understandably so. I hope I never implied he was wrong to do so. My point was that he was seemingly faulting Ryk for doing something with money as the motivation while supporting his case using money as the motivation. Ryk has since indicated that money is NOT the motivation, at least not singularly. However, money IS a motivation for ALL of us to some degree or another, and will be until Jesus returns and we all live in peace and harmony (or whatever you happen to believe happens in the eventual future.) So no hard feelings toward @Mark, just an observation of irony.
Rereading all comments I think that I was the only one to be harsh with @Mark. I also think that his comment had more the intent to keep Mr. Brown in KU so he and his family could read the series than faulting Mr. Brown for quit the system. The problem is that his approach was not good.
I don't think that Mr. Brown had any financial motivation behind his decision (not directly). Amazon policy was surely written by sharks that think that the only good deal is the one they get everything and you become their slaves. Mr. Brown explained that very clearly.
In response to everything above:
Ep.13 I want you in my brain!
Ok its Monday, February 16th, 2015 and I think we all would like to know. "Ryk are we there yet?" lol
How is it coming?
Any re-writes? (like that big change in the last book that you wont tell us about until after you finish part one seemingly 1000+ years from now!!!)
Did you take ideas from our speculation?
(i don't expect you to name the person & their idea to do x at y and then hi five after it worked, just a "yes, one or two" or a "not this time")
Can we start the ticker at post 64 of the forum?
Has Cosmos the cat been approved as the Aurora's new shoulder patch?
Ryk we need to know!!!
@aidan
seemingly 1000+ years from now!!!
You're adorable. Come back after you've spent twenty years of your life waiting for a book series to finish! 🙂
Really? If we got Ep 13 today, we'd just be jonesing for Ep 14 tomorrow, even more than we are now for 13. And then when 14 comes out we'll be in an even worse state. Ep 15 will be the summation of this part of the series. Ep 15 will finally release all this tension. Ep 15 won't be out until much later this year, though.
I'm trying NOT to get too excited about 13, because I know I'll still have six-eight months of anxiousness. 🙂
Robert Jordan'so wheel of time... started reading it at book 3... The author died at book 10. It's been finished since by a different author, but I spent a good 10+ years with 2 years worrying that it wouldn't happen. The original author was diagnosed with a brain condition where he was forgetting stuff while still early on in the books. Apparently it started as a trilligy ended up 13 books... so I get what your saying Justin... but still awesome to be getting new content so rapidly from Rye!!! And I can wait but I choose not too ;p
Yup, Wheel of Time. The exact series I was speaking about. The wait for Ryk's books are nothing compared to that.
Great story. tried to re-read it early 2014 and just couldn't do it, got to book 4 and just stopped. I had the same problem with the Lord of the rings, just cannot re-read them. read before the movies, prefer the movies, is that weird?
Also probably the wrong place to say this but TWOT would be great for a Game Of Thrones style Mini-series... Imagine Sean Bean as Tam Al Thor!!! IT could be the first time ever he lived through a show!!! (of course they would probably change that for him) 😉
Oh My God!!! YouTube!!! Trailer!!!
Wheel of Time TV pilot: "Winter Dragon"

CGI needs to be better but one fine actor in Billy Zane! other guy is good enough because reasons, spoilers and stuff.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but that will probably be all you see of that show. The 'pilot' was a hastily constructed episode only created to extend their the current right holders rights over the series. However, it was done improperly from what the authors wife says, so the rights may be relinquished. io9.com has an article about all that.
Bubble burst... damn you cruel, cruel REE!!! Maybe the Data Arch has a copy of a completed mini series of the Wheel of Time, made by a company that could actually do something with the WoT rights? but probably not. Stupid stops a lot of great ideas.
Just saw this....while it is not the set date....it is some cover art without titles.
I don't want to know the estimate date of the release of the next episode... While I understand the publishing process, it's been a torture, I'd rather receive good news of the release in a surprise e-mail than knowing an approx date and not getting it... I know it will be soon, but that doesn't help to calm down my anxious browsing between this site and Amazon's...
(I'm not blaming Ryk, I know all his typing struggles, the plot changes and all the proofreading issues, I'd wait for the e-mail a year instead of refreshing the home page every hour to see if the countdown shows up...)

I agree whole heartedly. In fact, for me, I don't even want to see a ticker anymore. Just get there one day (or get an email) and BAM new episode. Just me $.02
