realtalk it says a lot about rothfuss's imagination that he has a character whose thing is "destroys people by having sex with them" but when it comes to the mechanics of how this actually occurs he just kind of vaguely goes "oh uh i guess she's just so good they can't stand it or something lol". i mean come on.

(it's because he's a sex pest with a huge ego and although all his characters are obsessed with sex 24/7 he can't bring himself to actually explicate the act, whether it be normal human or mind-destroying extraterrestrial, on-page for fear of what it would reveal about him)

Let me tell you guys something I've been a sex haver for while and the only thing I feel is a sort of vague malaise about it afterwards, like "Huh... that happened" Only a sex pest would believe that sex is anything but meaningless instinctual imperative manifesting as the old Sabado Gigante, ya dig? "No, sex is like playing a symphony", lmao, gently caress off weirdo

Patrick rated it it was amazing · (Review from the author) Shelves: books-i-would-blurb I liked this anthology enough to actually write an introduction for it. Needless to say, that rarely happens. I was going to drop a review here, then I realized that would be kinda silly, when the introduction I wrote says everything I want to say, much more clearly and cleanly than any quick review I could bang out. So here it is... * * * This is a good anthology. Can we start there? Let's start there. That's really the most important thing you can get out of this introduction. tl;dr - This is a good anthology full of stories that are worth your time and money. If you want, you can hop directly into reading it. Go on. I won't be offended. For the rest of you, let me be completely honest and say that when I sat down to read this anthology, I was really nervous. I really admired Veronica and Tom for putting this anthology together. It's not just a cool idea, it's a vital thing. Anthologies that focus on new writers are really important. Everyone knows it's hard for new writers to get noticed. Anthologies like this help new authors get their foot in the door, so to speak. I know this for a fact, because an anthology like this helped get me my start as a writer. When I was published in Writers of the Future back in 2002, it opened up doors for me. So I admired the hell out of Tom and Veronica for giving new-writers a chance to get a leg up. But at the same time, I when I heard Sword and Laser was putting out an anthology, I was worried for them. What's more, I was worried about the anthology itself. Why? Because I've read submissions for writing contests. I've read stories at writer's workshops. I've taught writing classes. I've read submissions for a few anthologies myself. In short, I know how many really awful stories are out there. That sounds harsh. But it's the simple truth. Bad stories outnumber good ones about 50 to 1. And good stories outnumber great ones about 10 to 1. That's the harsh mathmatics of the situation. I know this better than anyone. Not just because I've read slush. But because I've *written* awful stories. More awful stories than good ones. Many more. And because I've acted as editor-in-chief before, if only in a small way, I know that sometimes, after reading 40 bad stories, you throw up your hands and just say, "Fine. gently caress! We need to put *something* in this anthology. That story about the mutant in the woods is good enough." But who wants to read a story that's just "good enough? Not me. I want stories that are great. I want cleverness. I want wit and language and magic. I want to be surprised. I want to be dazzled. I want brilliant stories. And I'm guessing you do too. I was not expecting to get that here. But I did. Some of these stories show brilliance. And not just flashes of brilliance, either. Not just a thin gilding of brilliance over the surface of a clunky tin meh. I'm talking about solid brilliance. Simply said, I was impressed and pleasantly surprised. Now am I saying that you'll love every story in here? No. That's a ridiculous expectation. Because everyone enjoys different flavors of story. And honestly, that's one of the strengths of this anthology. There's enough variety here that no matter what you enjoy, you're probably going to find something to your taste. Okay. That's enough from me. I'm just the opening band. Quit reading my ramble and check out the real stories.

Congratulations, you have discovered Rothfuss' personal notes for Tak, an amazing game that he did zero work on but still gets a design credit. e: Rothfuss' favorite game is Boss Monster. If you have ever played a board game made in the past 20 years this is like saying "the best card game ever? definitely Uno." al-azad fucked around with this message at 14:48 on May 7, 2019 |

idiotsavant posted:Easy comparison is Jonathan Strange & Dr Norrell which is also alternate fantasy history but done in far better style and in a more interesting way Ehh? I think the audiobook version I listened to may've cut out at the 2/3 mark. Or maybe the actual ending was very abrupt. I was not motivated enough to look into it. There were some pleasant Britishisms but the world didn't feel particularly built and the characters were okay but not compelling.
