It's good.  I really, really enjoyed it and wanted it to continue. There
are three chapters on www.tass.org/fanfic, listed as
ranma.wot.taveren,  I believe. It's been a long while since work stopped
on it.  Since it's been declared a parody of the Wheel of Time series,
they legally can continue it, but so far nothing has happened. Biles has
chapter five (short one) on his pages at www.tass.org/~rhea  or somewhere.  
Chapter four was to be written by Jeremy Blackman. He answered my first
letter but not my last two letters.  In the first letter, he said he was
going to start on it "tomorrow". Later, Biles said Blackman had hurt his
hand, but so far I have heard nothing more.    

It is not just a rewrite of the Wheel of Time series.  In fact, the
authors stated they planned to "deviate majorly by book three".  *sigh*
Biles had some ideas for another story in the same general location and
world but so far I haven't seen anything public.

Go ahead and read it, Frank!  ;P  Then you'll have one of the best
opinions (your own!).    ^_^    And maybe you'll be wanting to pester the
authors, too.

No, it's not the best little 'ol fanfic ever, but I enjoyed it.
