pentyne posted:Did Rothfuss ever get on that cruiseship? Is he now banned from re entering the country for 2-4 weeks? I saw other people on the ship announce that they were home, so there wasn't a quarantine on that one. It's the one ship that made it back. Really important because Rothfuss has a lot of work to do.

I've seen some pretty bad reviews, but nothing like how people tore in Armada when it came out.

I do get how they'd be confused. Both were insanely overhyped dreck writers who accurately focused in on their genre's demographic.

After reading some of that I have to ask... have we ever seen Rothfuss and Cline in the same place?

They're completely different! Rothfuss compared nerd-products to sexually attractive women, Cline is comparing sexually attractive women to nerd-products.

I love how Cline manages to objectify women by trying not to objectify them. Good job!

I made a startling discovery: https://twitter.com/paolini/status/1253068581270683649 Is it only me, or does Paolini look like a younger Rothfuss? What is it with authors of bad fantasy and this specific hobo-look?

Solice Kirsk posted:Remember when Rothfuss wrote several pages about how It was a drug that takes away your inhibitions and it was that he could never rape anyone ever so the drug didn't effect him because it was completely against his character. Of course, then later on there's a long part where the mystery was if he was going to rape someone, because it was just the original short story dropped in without editting the parts that contradict the rest of the books.

In Tides of Numenera, which Rothfuss at least partially wrote, the main quest has you go back in time to unrape a woman. Later a mentor character asks if you considered the rapist's feelings. This is glossing over the quest where if you help an incel stalk a woman the game, the game awards you actual compassion points. Lastly, to end the quest for the companion Rothfuss is confirmed to have written, you and an adult companion need to submit to date rape by a creeper. Rothfuss has a terrible track record of this poo poo is what I'm trying to say.

I was contemplating the success of this book again and the reasons it’s prose gets praise and came across this bit about its most famous passage: Is the end of a season typically measured in depth and width? Are river-smooth stones heavier than rough ones? Are cut flowers patient? Does poetic license mean throwing out meaning so things can sound a certain way? Because on the face of it the three silences paragraph makes no sense.

It’s also a bit funny how Abercrombie’s new book is coming out exactly one year after the previous. He did what Rothfuss claimed to have done, by finishing the first drafts of his new trilogy before release so they could cone out in a timely manner. I’m sure collectively his books have sold more than Rothfuss, but probably no single one has outsold Name of the Wind, which is a bit sad.

I have so much respect for Abercrombie and often point to him as a counter to the Rothfuss and Grrms of the scene. Since 2006 the dude has finished a trilogy, wrote 3 standalone books in the same universe, wrote an unrelated trilogy then returned to the universe that made him famous for another trilogy that I have no reason to believe won't conclude next year. And they're all pretty good at worst! NotW came out in 2007 and we all know how that's going.

I mean, it's obviously been said before, but Sanderson is right up there with Abercrombie too. It's hard to go "Oh, well, writing is tough and putting out a trilogy is hard. If it takes 13 years, that's ok" when Brandon Sanderson is putting out 300, 500, 1k page novels every year and short stories/novellas on top of it. It's obvious who takes writing as a career seriously and who doesn't.
