The slowdown has been building up since the beginning; it's just not obvious because they somehow manage to punch through and succeed early on.

That was one thing I really like with Jordan. There seemed to be so much pointless crap in so many of the later books, but then I went back and reread them one after another, I picked up a lot of stuff that made more sense that way. Doesn't make quite the same sense when you go several years between books.

Yup. It's like following politics by watching Headline News once a month. ;D

His response to the question of fanfic was actually a lot of fun.
As for later, I was responding to the comment about why authors have to come down so hard when they do know about it!

Oh, I know, I was making sure other people didn't think Jim was being Di$neye$que.
