Kevin's Watch

Conspiracy theory #1:
The author is practicing the non-art of writing novels about nothing.

Seriously. What happened in Crossroads of Twilight?
Rand sat on his butt and did nothing (I can understand needing to recover, but come on!), until the end of the book, where he decided he was going to do something. We didn't get to actually see him do it, though.

Mat complained, found out he was accidentally half-married, and kept running, got nothing accomplished.

Elayne thought about gaining the Lion Throne, and nothing accomplished.
...
I could go on, but I'm bored already.

Stop! You're putting me to sleep!

Conspiracy theory #2
The author likes to wear women's clothes. Why else would he spend so much time describing dresses? He must have some sort of experience.

Conspiracy # 3 He's forgotten who half of his characters are

Conspiracy #4 He's forgotten half of the story lines (or has no capacity to conclude anything...)

Conspiracy #5: James Oliver Rigney, Jr., is only the public face of the original partnership behind the pen name 'Robert Jordan'. He does the actual writing, but is incapable of actually plotting an original story.

(Remember, the man started off by writing Conan books.)

The other half of the team died about 1996 in a house fire, and most of his notes burned with him. The surviving 'Robert Jordan' has been stalling ever since, trying to delay the inevitable day when he must admit that he has no idea how the story is supposed to end.
