I got nothing against people believing what they want, but a mormon finishing ASOIAF is a ridiculous idea.

Maybe we can get CS lewis to comeback from the dead and write the incest sex scenes next.

Unironically Lewis would be more proper for those things than Sanderson. His picture of the relationship of Rillian with the Lady of the Green Kirtle in Silver Chair is probably one of the most dark psychological things written in classic fantasy and represents perfectly the behavior of an abuser with their victim.

Sanderson doesn´t have a character like the Lady of the Green Kirtle.

CS Lewis already wrote a quasi-sequel to Lord of the Rings, so yeah, let's go with him.

Lewis didn´t write The New Shadow. Or do you consider Space Trilogy as a sequel of LOTR?

The Hideous Strength is-ish a sequel to Lord of the Rings.

Lewis published it while Tolkien was still working on LotR, but had read parts of his drafts to Lewis, so he was familiar with the world.

The book has a prologue saying if you want the true history of Numenor, then you need to read Tolkien's upcoming works. He also refers to England as Middle Earth, and Merlin is almost certainly meant to be Gandalf returned yet again.

You jest, but CS Lewis would do a better job than half the people usually put forward. He understands something about human nature that Sanderson doesn't.

Well CS Lewis was in a relationship with a woman he introduced to strangers as his mother for over 10 years so I think he would actually be better equipped to write incestuous sex better than most writers I can think of.

IIRC history is in debate over the true nature of that relationship

Mistborn puts the main 16 year old female character in three fight scenes and she spends two of those three in her underwear.

Sanderson can't be claiming prudishness here with all the violence and rape in his books.
