    So I'm playing a Wheel of Time TTRPG game, play by post, and a running gag is how much of a freak RJ is. If you're not aware, Robert Jordan, the original author of the Wheel of Time, has a fascinating habit of writing... how to put this nicely... interesting things in WOT. If you've read WOT, you know what I mean. *Cough* What do you mean RJ you grow out of being a lesbian??? You're putting captured Aes sedai in what?? *Cough*

    He's not any better in interviews (I'm not posting them, but look up "Robert Jordan and The German Shepherd")

      Later on, Melissa made a joking comment about Rand and his three girlfriends.
      Robert Jordan
      Robert Jordan's reply was not what we expected. He explained that at one point in his younger life he had two girlfriends at once. They knew about each other, and they arranged dates for him so they could both be there. They were fine with it, and young Jim Rigney just went along with it. (Wouldn't you?) He figured that if he could have two girlfriends at once, then a guy like Rand could definitely do three.

      I guess it's true that we all find inspiration from our everyday lives!

      If you go on theoryland and look up "is wife was in fact a publisher," you'll see some... interesting things? 
       

      Though tbh it might have been his fandom

      Is there any chance that Cadsuane might be Ilyena reborn?
      Brandon Sanderson
      I...wha?...First of all, I'm not going to answer that. Second of all...EWW! ... And you can quote me on that!

      [note from Mato: This was frackin' HILARIOUS. Totally unexpected, and Sanderson was totally shocked over it.]

      What's the most amusing and/or bizarre question a fan has ever asked you?
      Robert Jordan 
      Well, I've had a couple young women ask if they could bear my child. That's not the usual kind of question I get—that sort of took me aback, yes.

      Do you ever talk to any other fantasy authors outside of work?
      Robert Jordan
      Well, sometimes... not often. They're a good distance apart. John M. Ford...
      Aan'allein
      Then he looked very closely at the card I had him sign...

      Me: It's supposed to be Graendal.

      Robert Jordan
      Yeah, well, it is...I just never knew that Graendal had nipple-rings, that's all. Now for once, it's just a thing I hadn't realized about a character in my book, that's all.

      I see fantasy writers sometimes at conventions. And no, we don't sit around talking about fantasy. We sit around drinking beer, talking about contracts, mainly. And John M. Ford comes to visit me almost every Christmas, he's a close friend of me, uhm, almost as long as I've been married. [I think that was what he said.] And no, we don't talk about fantasy either. We talk about other writers, and contracts. When...has his book finished, that sort of thing.

      Footnote
      RJ has often said that the common notion of your characters self-developing is a ridiculous notion, which adds a bit of extra humor to this quote.
