so this might be a burned out subject, but when you come down to it everyone here is dedicated to the legacy of Robert Jordan.  I have recently finished "Elantris" and thoroughly enjoyed it.  I felt that that the characters were developed (even more impressively for being a one novel series) and the plot was gripping enough to merit my respect. Any other new comers to the Sanderson fan club purely because of the Jordan connection. I for one have faith in Sanderson's ability to bring it home. 

There's actually a newly starting fandom specifically for Sanderson. You can find them at www.mistbornempire.com

You can also find his own forums linked on his website, they are called the time wasters guide, and I believe several authors have their own forums with that group.
