First, whoever the author is, he doesn't mind doing the same thing in the GI that someone did here at KW! (Spoiling it.)In the Gradual Interview was wrote:The End of Last Chronicles Spoilt!!: Dear Stephen,
On Kevin's Watch several people have posted saying that you have said that in the Last Chronicles,, without use of the blackout feature that is meant to be used to hide spoilers.Spoiler
"Covenant becomes Foul"
I found this out on Kevins Watch, and I tell ya, I DIDN'T WANT TO KNOW!!!!!
I have ASKED and ASKED and ASKED the moderators to cover these assertions with spoiler blackouts, but they haven't.
If you care, perhaps you can have a discrete word with Jay, or anyone you know and respect who has authority at KevinsWatch. I realize you may not want to confirm or deny this assertion, but surely a discrete word with a trusted friend might help innocent newbies having their reading spoiled!
I never wanted to read this!! I would like other unsuspecting folks not to have their suspense spoiled as mine has somewhat been.
With kind regards and best wishes,
Stephen

What can I say? I sincerely regret that this happened to you. In fact, I sincerely regret that I ever made the statement that led to this particular spoiler. (Yes, ultimately the responsibility for your disappointment rests with me rather than with Kevin's Watch.) I wish there was something I could say that would ease the sting for you, but there isn't.
You can be assured of one thing, however: nobody but me knows what the offending statement actually *means*.
btw, I've asked my webmaster to convey your unhappiness to the people at Kevin's Watch.

Wasn't it W.A. Senior who blew the lid of this 'spoiler' anyway?
Anyway ... I have been thinking very long and hard about this very topic myself. One day I had a "Lysol moment", if you know what I mean. I was thinking about those Elohim, and then kapow! I think I know how the Last Chronicles is going to end - I think I know what
Spoiler
But you know something? I'm never going to tell anyone else my theory. Just discussing it is too much of a spoiler. One day in about 9 years or so it will be very exciting to see if I was right or wrong. But if I think about someone else reading the final chapter, and instead of thinking 'Wow! I never imagined that!' they think, 'hey, that's what Wayfriend said' ... man, that would be horrible. It's not that I'm sure I'm right (I'm not) but even the chance is something I would never risk on anyone.
So you'll never find me here in KW discussing this topic.
Maybe if we had a vault, we could put our guesses into, and open them up in nine years ....
Is anyone else thinking about discussing theories about THE FINAL END here in the forum? Or thinking about how they would not discuss it?
