I count myself in the Sanderson first camp. I had heard of the Wheel of Time long before I ever heard of Sanderson, but I had never read any of it. I read Final Empire about three years ago and became a Sanderson fan almost instantly. I only began reading the Wheel of Time when I learned through some friends and co-workers that Sanderson was going to finish it. I didn't start reading it because of Sanderson though. It was more the fact that the series was going to be finished by someone. It was a great bonus (for me at least) that Sanderson was chosen as I refused to read a story as long and involved as WoT if it wasn't going to be finished.
