Obviously, I've been reading too much lately.
On the concept of a Wheel of Time online RPG (or MUSH):
The apathetic inertia of MUSHing seems to be awfully strong stuff, in my experience. Combining this with the inertia of a series where the only action of any interest in 500 pages is only learned through second-hand accounts of it, I fear that a Wheel of Time MUSH threatens to singlehandedly bring about the heat-death of the universe through the sheer entropic decay caused by such a Dagwood Sandwich of Tedium.
On why the Dresden Files books rock and Anita Blake doesn't, for someone who's only read the latter:
Why? Because:
((Anita Blake + Dirk Gently - Danielle Steele) / intelligent examinations of the myths that White Wolf fucked up) * James Ellroy = Dresden Files
It's really a simple equation.

And Anita was fun...er, five-six years ago. Really.
And that blonde police woman is just a peach. :D
no, I just can't do it.
God I'm old...
And don't say you're old. Because I'm older than you.
On the Anita Blake tip...her books are now a one-handed reading experience, if you get my drift. It's a pity, because it started out fun. Maybe Tanya Huff was wise to end her version of "Supernatural Love Triangle" when she did.
insert jerky little melodyline here:
I feel a shock right through
A bolt of blue
It's no problem of mine
but it's a problem I find
living unlife that I can't leave behind
