I haven't read Sanderson, but I am aware he was tapped to complete the Wheel of Time series. I did catch this interview with him by Tim Ferris and I have mixed feelings.

What struck me is how machine like he has made his production of 'content'. Including having an in house 'wiki guy' to basically make a wiki of his world building to track consistency. There is, of course, churning out languages for fantasy worlds as well. If Tolkien had these resources, I wonder what would have happened....

I think a little bit would have given us more quality stuff from him. I suspect a lot, though, would run the risk of, well, a slot of slop.
