(TAN) Readers Cut Editions



I have this idea about the WoT series that could help kill time untill
the next book comes out. Though I'm not too sure if it is OK to do
this.

There are e-versions of the book available, and I thought it would be
kind of cool to do Readers-Cut Editions, you know, like
Directots-Cuts, where you can modify the books to change emphasis and
pacing, etc. 

Here are some ideas I had:

1. Edit the e-versions to follow only one of the characters. ie,
follow Rand's POV, or Mat's through the entire series so far.

2. Go through the e-versions, keep it the same,  just shorten passages
that you think are unimportant that Jordan put it. Maybe lenghten
others that you would have liked emphasized more; though this could
get into the fan-fiction area.

3. Same thing as #2, but cut out character traits that are repetive,
ie. chop out all the females clearing their nasal passages and all the
males wishing they had the non-existent knowledge on females his
friend has. (And reduce the entire series by half. LOL)

4. An annotated version; point out your own takes on where you think
Jordan got certain ideas for the books.

5. A complilation of #1, #2 and #3. or any other ideas and takes you
have on the series.

Anyone thinks this is a good idea? Anyone interested in doing it? Can
this be done without Tor or Jordan being annoyed?
