If you're going to get characters jacked in an insurrection, at least have the decency to make it a play of assassins and poo poo, not straight up open martial combat with THE BEST WARRIORS IN TOWN.

I wish writers like Sanderson would call these assholes out on their self-inflicted problems. People ask Sanderson about future books (and other things) all the time and he.just.loving.tells.them*. While also having regular progress updates on his website for books he's working on. And doing effortposts on his plans for the upcoming year(s) and possible hitches that could change things.

He's basically the anti-grrm. Hopefully he doesn't ever turn in to an old spiteful weirdo. At least not until after the Stormlight series finishes some time in the 2030s.


* He probably doesn't give out huge spoiler poo poo, like I imagine he doesn't give info when people ask him about Hoid's endgame or backstory.

Sanderson also doesn't ascribe to the idea of the writer as the artiste. He considers it a job, and thus sits down and trucks out a novel every six months or so. Same theory that Steven King writes under.

Some of the best stuff King has written are his short stories that he just bangs out because he feels he has to be "writing something" even if he's stuck on his main works. He's just a whole other level of creative.

“Can you believe it?” the American Gods actor asked. “‘Oh, you’re giving it away.’ Firstly, you love it and secondly, you’ll have forgotten by the time it comes out. And what am I giving away? A character beloved by everybody returns. Get a loving life. The show is huge but some fans seem to identify with it [too closely]. You want to say, ‘Have you thought about your lifestyle? Maybe you should get out a little more.’”

If there's a touchstone "love to hate" internet moment for me, it was when the TVIV thread reached it's most ridiculous with people honestly thinking that they were entitled to:

A) A spoiler free space
B) A book-existing free space
C) Speculation about what's going to happen
D) The right to get mad when inevitably the internet, or someone else in the thread, disagreed with what A, B or C meant.

There were multiple people in there who were extremely angry that everyone else on the internet wouldn't conform to their custom view of what it meant to discuss the TV show, all fighting eachother, some accusing others of faking not knowing what's happening in the books just to look cool in some crazy paranoid circular firing squad.

It was awesome and extremely irritating.


Edit: Also the companion moment to that time, when a bunch of those people realized that the tables were about to turn and the TV thread was going to have details the book thread didn't and AH HA! WE'VE GOT YOU NOW.....but no one here cared and were all pretty jazzed to see HBO gently caress over GRRM and get on with it.

there are people in the twin peaks thread right now literally putting spoiler tags around poo poo that happened in a tv show in 1991 just in case some innocent is in there who hasn't finished the series yet.

they also have convinced a bunch of first-time watchers to skip like 1/3 of the show just because the tviv thread personally doesn't like certain plotlines. tviv-ers are loving insane.

The best part of this is that since there's flashbacks in the TV show a casting spoiler doesn't mean anything.
