Showtime passed https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/lin-manuel-mirandas-kingkiller-chronicle-being-shopped-showtime-pass-1239819 quote:Lin-Manuel Miranda's Kingkiller Chronicle is on the move. Repost about Rothfuss wrt business and professionalism. al-azad posted:So uh I’m quoting this 2 month old post to say that Rothfuss is indeed a creepy weirdo. I was at a convention and a recent acquaintance, a woman half his age, geeked out upon meeting him and invited him to sit and talk at a table with other fans. He offered her a private chat in his hotel room with the promise of ice cream. She says no at which point he promptly about faces leaving a trail of dust and beard hair behind him, just total cold shoulder. pentyne fucked around with this message at 00:32 on Sep 17, 2019 |

The only characters from a generation before I can even name are Kvothe's parents. There just isn't anything there. It's all in Kvothe's dumb story.

Well his mom is apparently the sister of The Duke's noble wife since she raised such a fuss over the Ruh stealing her sister from the family.

Starz should pick it up and make in the spirit of Spartacus. Actually, gently caress that I'll just take some more seasons of Spartacus.

I would say because it had so little impact on the story but so much of the books have no impact on the story so that can't be it.

Why does he sign other people’s books? He bragged about doing the same thing a while ago, walking through B&Ns and signing his name into random books and acting like a hero over it.

TV Zombie posted:Does signing other people's books a habit he picked up from someone else,perhaps? There have been random social media posts through the years of one author signing books by another author. The key difference in literally every single one of those cases was that someone purchased the book prior to the signing and it was done tongue-in-cheek. Rothfuss, being a consummate moron, missed the point and is instead a complete dick. I have something like 800 signed books, only one of which is signed by someone that did not work on the book. It was done as a gag at the suggestion of the guy that actually wrote the book because it was a running joke between the two authors for that specific book. You don't just show up at a bookstore and start signing books you had nothing to do with.

In case anyone doesn't remember, it's not that Rothfuss was signing his name in books for people, he walked into a bookstore and started picking up copies of books that he didn't write to sign his name in and put it back on the shelf. And then bragged about it on twitter how excited people would be to see his signature when they bought the book. The bookstore should've removed all the books he signed and sent him a bill for the store property that he defaced.

I kind of get the impression that the wait for the third book is really starting to do in even his die-hard cultists. If Rothfuss wants to keep his lovely book grift up, he has to produce sometime.
