GM for a Wheel of Time game?

Hey there folks, Was making a general LFG post and this came up as I was typing it, and I figured it was worth its own attempt at a request.  I'm looking for a GM to run a game set in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time universe, before, during or after the events in the books, or an alternate timeline, whatever works for you.  For running it there's already a d20 system specifically for Wheel of Time, and I've heard good things about there being a Pathfinder upgrade for that system, but also that you can run it in Burning Wheel or Fate or a number of other systems too.  Whatever you, the GM are most comfortable with, we will learn and play our asses off to give you an awesome cast of characters to work with.  I can offer you an aes sedai and her warder(possibly Asha'man if it fits with your game, if not  that' sokay too) right out of the gate and I'm sure it won't be hard to find another couple players. For Wheel of Time we'd be available any night after 7 PM EST(GMT -4), really hoping I get a reply to this.
Oooh, I would definitely be interested in co-GMing a WoT game, not sure if I'd be able to devote the time to GMing it alone, though. I've read all the books, so I'd be cool with whatever setting/time, although I may end up swerving from the books at times. I have tried a Wheel of Time d20 system (not sure if it's the same) but it was not very good, in my opinion. Never seen the PF version, but system-wise I would strongly prefer PF, maybe 3.5. However, magic-system wise, it doesn't seem to fit WoT, so.... it might be better if we look into something else.
I would consider offering you a co-GM chair, hell we could even do it like in the books and have two concurrent storylines going on (like it tends to be with the girls in one place, Rand in another, Mat and the Band somewhere else, but all influencing eachother in ways they don't realize until months later, if ever).  That would allow us to trade off back and forth every few weeks and take breaks to just play.  Swerving from the books is fine, too, I honestly prefer an original take on a series universe rather than slavishly sticking to canon for this sort of game. If it wasn't very good it was probably the WoT D20 system.  Honestly I felt everything about that was pretty sucky other than the way they handled channeling.  I'll see if I can look up the PF system and see how that works out, if they worked the channeling similar to the d20 system and then fixed all the broken stuff like how useless every other character was and how awful the gaidin prestige class was, it might be worth a go.  If not, I know where to go to get a lot of input on the best way to run it, just raising the idea got me a few suggestions awhile ago. That being said, if someone else wants to volunteer to GM full time or part-time, they're more than welcome, and it looks like we might need another couple players for when we figure out how we're doing this.  I'm going to PM you my skype info so we can talk more easily and leave this open for other interested parties to ring in on.
I've never played but I'd be interested in learning if you want players. I've read the books at least a dozen times so I'm familiar with the story.
We're working on what system we're going to run it under and what the basic setup is going to be right now.  Once we've got things set we'll probably do a more formal LFP for it, we've already got two players and we're going to switch off, so there likely won't be a lot of slots.  Thank you for your interest, though.
