Forum Focus: The Library (Part II)
Author: Elyss Koh'inor, August 2018
This is the second part of our two-part forum focus on the Library. The first part of this forum focus appeared in the July Tar Valon Times. This week, we’re looking at three of the Library’s subforums: Book Discussions, Wheel of Time News, and Wheel of Time TV Show.
Book Discussions
Not surprisingly for a website founded around a fourteen-book series, there are a lot of readers on this site. The Book Discussions subforum of The Library has four sections. Wheel of Time Discussion – Books 1-8 focuses on the first eight books of The Wheel of Time. While spoilers are still appreciated for readers just starting on their journey through the series, having two separate forums for parts of the series helps minimize spoilers and keeps discussions somewhat organized. Wheel of Time Discussion – Books 1-14 is for those who have read the entire series or want to discuss something which takes place over the course of all of the books.
A section dedicated to Brandon Sanderson also appears in this subforum. Since Sanderson helped complete The Wheel of Time, the two fan bases often overlap. This forum provides a dedicated space to discuss both Cosmere and non-Cosmere works. Finally, there is the Non-WOT – Literature and Fiction section. If it’s not Wheel of Time, and it’s not Brandon Sanderson, you can find (or start!) a discussion about it here.
Wheel of Time News Discussion
Want to keep up with the latest news in the Wheel of Time community? The Library has that information available for you! Check in on this forum to review the latest news, speculations, and announcements.
Wheel of Time TV Show
Speaking of announcements, the Library also houses the site’s public forum. One of the newer subforums at TarValon.Net, there aren’t as many discussions in the Wheel of Time TV Show section yet. However, that will change quickly as more information is released about the TV Show and more people continue to contribute casting dreams and suggestions. Speculations and anticipation abound!
